I did it! I cut off all my hair (again)!

Before:

After:

I thought long and hard about cutting my hair. After the dye removing fiasco, I knew it was a matter of time. It's only hair, and thank God for lace wigs (when I want to wear them). I cut it to the new growth. 15 minutes after I cut my hair off today, I had an appointment with my eye doctor. As I walked to his office (his office is that close to my house), I felt liberated, walking through a tony town with short curly hair. I thought my boyfriend would shit bricks when he came home, but he just said "oh, you cut your hair." He wasn't surprised. What led me to this drastic move was last night, when I finally removed the new Rex virgin malaysian, I washed my hair, and as I combed it with the large shower comb, it was coming out like I was picking cotton. I've grown tired of hiding that short side (the left side). I've grown tired of being scared to comb my hair. All of that has led me to start over. I know my hair inside and out, and I betrayed it, with color fickleness. No more. From now on, back to lace wigs and textlaxing every 3-6 months. It wasn't the textlaxing that damaged my hair, it was when I used the dye remover. That was too harsh of a treatment. I should have left well enough alone. This is my punishment/liberation. Back to Megatek, Biotin, homemade oil mixtures, and wearing lace wigs. I filmed me cutting my hair, so I can put it on YouTube.

Speaking of lace wigs, I frankenlaced a wig tonight. I cut the nape off of the Indian Remy Body Wave from Lace Wig Secrets and the front off of my old virgin malaysian loose curly (frankenlace #1) and sewed it to the nape of the IRBW. It looks great. I'll take pics tomorrow, when I put it on. I'm ordering a 14" Virgin Malaysian loose curly on 12/31.... and that will be it.

What a day!

Thumbs Up for the CreaClip!

See the video above, and pictures are worth a thousand words:

After the 1st cut with the large white clip, yesterday:





Then this morning, it seemed like every media image thrown at me was of the long layered bang. So I got the smaller blue clip out, and with my hair cutting scissors, I made ONLY one slightly diagonal cut:






From now on, every straight unit I get will be introduced to my CreaClips! I love this product. For $36.95 (price includes s/h), you can't beat this! I like that you can slide the clip to where you want. It's hard to mess up with these clips. I wanted my bangs to hit my chin, and they do! For the bulk cut yesterday, as in the video above, I just made 2 cuts, only because I was nervous the first time, and I didn't want to cut too much. You can always cut more, but you can't add it back! I loved cutting it with the clippers, but this morning, I used my scissors, and I cut straight across. I don't like the vertical cutting - blame it on my Asperger's.
Thumbs up across the board - the pictures are the proof! The link to CreaClip has been officially added to my Hot Links.
