After many years of consideration, I finally chopped off my hair over the weekend. It was surprisingly easy and quite liberating to let it all go. I've had the same haircut since high school and was way overdue for a change. I almost backed out at the last minute, as I was concerned about the extensive styling it may require. I'm glad I stuck with my decision in the end. I absolutely love it! (Thanks to Coco from Art + Science salon in Wicker Park.) My head feels at least a pound lighter and my hair looks a lot less damaged. Although this is probably the best that my new do will ever look, since there's no way I would ever be able to replicate what the stylist did, I'm quite excited about other styling possibilities.
