Short Hair Update :)

Thought I would post an update for those of you who recall my short hair girl post from a few weeks ago.  You can read that post HERE.  As you can see from this awkward self portrait I did not go for the pixie cut.  I went a lot shorter but to a style that I am already comfortable in.  

I have long been a fan of the short angled bob.  I have had this style many times.  What I like most about it is that it still feels long, you can pull it back, and if you get tired of this style it is super easy to grow out.  I have found over the years that when I am at my most emotional and feeling all mixed up inside (as I have been for months now)  it is never a good time to make drastic changes to my hair.  

So for now I am enjoying this cute 'do.  I only wish I could get it to look this good at home without a stylist!  lol

Most of you already know that I have gone through cancer treatment and part of that of course is hair loss.  My hair was pretty long when it fell out during chemo.  Being bald was so not fun!  It was THE worst part of cancer for me.  Yep, thats right, worse than losing a breast.  I think for me it was just the outward, hard to hide sign that I was sick.  

 I was no stranger to short hair.  I have had it most of my life.  My first short cut was the Dorothy Hamill cut when I was about 9 years old.  As I grew older I became one of those girls who chopped it all off at different points in my life only to grow it long again.   It has been a few years since my hair was short and I am getting the itch once again.  But this time its for a cut that is very short!  My hair now is way past my shoulders and all I do is wrap it up in a clip.  I cannot stand the maintenance of long hair nor can I stand how it feels on my shoulders and neck.  And since the early onset of menopause at 40 (thank you chemo)  my hair has changed alot.  It breaks more easily, and I find it drier than it used to be.  I am also trying to go gray gracefully (ha ha)  and don't color my hair.  

This picture below is one I found years ago and have carried it with me as inspiration. lol  I love the style but haven't had the nerve to bring this pic to my stylist.

I also love the short style on actress Ginnifer Goodwin in the top pic.  So cute and sassy.  I like the longer length in the front at the bangs and shorter on the sides and back.  

So this is what has been  mulling around in my head for the past few weeks.  We shall see if I act on it! lol
