A big big change for me

I have not done much with my hair for years. Those of you who know me, you've only seen me with  my hair up. I've done that for years. I stopped wearing makeup and really stopped trying to make myself pretty in the last year.

I decided when I was in the hospital for dehydration last weekend I wanted to cut my hair. It took  me a week to get the nerve to make an appointment.

Today, I went to Phresh in St. Paul and had it cut and colored. Hadn't planned on the color (was going to do it at home but I decided what the heck, she had a cancellation and could do the color too.) Spent a lot of dough but it was worth it.

So, I now have shoulder length dark brown hair with red-violet highlights. It's so very different. I just love it.

Can't wait to show you at the Eagan coffee. New hair for a new me! This means I can't get away with putting it up anymore and if I have to do my hair, I'm going to do makeup. And that means I can't hide as much anymore. I'm going to have to discuss it in therapy tomorrow. LOL

Good for you Anna!!!  Glad you are pampering yourself.  Can't wait to see it...the color sounds beautiful!!!  I need some color ideas for my hair.  Is that the place on Grand Ave?

Sounds like you like it whick is GREAT! I cut mine too!  About 15+ inches off about a week after surgery. I figured if I was going to start losing it, I'd rather donate it first. I had it cut, colored and highlighted. What a difference! The only problem I have now is upkeep - now wonder I kept it long for SO many years. I think that I look better, but I don't so much care for taking time every day to do something with it.

Hi Anna, wow!  Seems to be a wave (pun unintended!) of people getting hair style changes!  Welcome to the world of hair coloring and highlights--rock on with all your positives! Looking forward to the pics--what a refreshing feeling, huh?  I got four inches cut off a couple weeks ago.  And I have utmost respect for anyone pursuing therapy, since every person anywhere is a constant work in progress!  All the best to you;  have a blessed Christmas and many blessings in 2009!  Hugs, Patti

I will try to take a pic of myself tomorrow when I have makeup on. I did have my friend take a pic of me tonight but darned it if I didn't set the camera down somewhere and completely misplace it. I feel like a complete idiot! LOL
