the Big Chop

I did it. Well, on February 7th I did it.
I chopped my hair, and I love it. Surprisingly, it looks much longer to me in this picture (taken this morning by my lovely co-worker Tracy) than it does in "real life". But, I got over 5 inches cut off! It is cut a little like Gwyneth's, where it is longer in the front than in back. It's just a little longer.
I decided to go with the slightly longer version for a couple reasons. First, it would be a little less drastic. And second, I can still pull it all back in a ponytail easily, which is nice to be able to do when you wash your face, go workout, run to the grocery store on a Saturday morning, etc.


So far, so good. I like it, it's easier to blow-dry in the mornings (although it looked much fuller and better before I left the house and got to work!).
