I got my hair did

I got my hair did.

I took off 4 1/2 inches in the back and cut me some bangs in the front.

I also put in some layers and loads of hi-lighted red & brown hair.


At first I wasn't feeling the whole thing. I didnt look like me no more.

I had been loving me with the whole dark hair thang..but I had had some bad times early in the new year, and felt like having a new beginning. Cutting off the dark and beginning with the light ...har har.

Anywho..right now, like Mickey D'z, Im loving it.

I love the way the weight is off my head, the way my hair feels so light and summery, no more rope down my back. I love the way my bangs lightly touch the top of my glasses, and taking myself back to grade school days when I blow them up and off my face with the whoosh of my breathe.

At times I do catch myself in the mirror and wonder who is that? Its like just messing with my hair has made me feel differently about myself. Like I have new blood pumping through my veins.

When I run, I no longer have the weight of the world hanging from my head, and the rope whipping my back. I can actually run without a braid and just let my hair whip around without it throwing me off balence. Seriously, I had me some hair.

Only thing now is, I need to be figuring out the intricacies of working a straightening iron. I have this wave deep in the back of my head that refused to lie down flat...looks kinda like in the Eqyptian hieroglyphics the men with triangle hair? That be me.

No worries though, I can still touch it in the back with my hand, its still considered long to Merdigans/nashkiin/anglos, but to me and most other Native ladee'z..its short.

I know by the Fall it will be back to its heavy rope texture with its out of control waves and annoying short licks that always seem to catch in my mouth..but for now, I am enjoying some sort of style. Maybe Ill keep it? Most likely...sooner more than later Ill be back to my heavy reddish dreads..hehe.

Maybe this time I'll actually make the effort to style it to the way its supposed to look..hence the solicitation for the straightener lessons. heh.

Ill try to post a picture soon. But don't count on it..
