View Full Version : Haircut, who would have thought

I got an impulsive haircut about a week and a half ago. I love it. I went from hair past my shoulders, usually I curled it into waves. It is also about 60-70% white now which I love. I have loved it for a long time, but then I just needed a total change. I have a haircut that is similar to one I had 30 years ago, It is an assymetrical bob with one side down to a buzz cut length. It really shows off the white. In so many ways I have been bringing back things from my past/roots that seem to fit and enjoying it. The red converse, the jean jacket with my band pins, some of the old music that has stood the test of time, (no, not any old combat boots though).

So I have had Sooooo many compliments. Walking in the hallways at work parents and staff are going out of their way to compliment me. One teacher at our school that I really love gave me the best compliment, she says her goal is to stay kick-a** and not grow old and I am her role model for style and attitude. I honestly, on a deep level, care little what other people think of me. That is what I love to have noticed, that I have my own style and am confident.

Good for you, Zoe Girl! I found out a year ago this month that I have a terminal illness. I am currently in hospice and have been doing all sorts of things that I've always wanted to do, while I still have time. I applaud your decision and encourage you and others to do similar things. Life is short!

isn't it something how a haircut can change everything? Back in '94, I chopped off over processed, long bad 80s hair and got a pixie cut. It was amazing the change, I changed it up a little here and there over the years, but I still got compliments from strangers 20 yrs later. When I got sick, DD convinced me to try growing out my hair for a change, I'm down to a chin length bob. I don't love it but at least it's different.

Good for you!
