So, a couple of weeks ago, I got my hair cut.
"Cut" might not be the right way to describe it, though.
"Chopped off" is a bit more accurate.
That's right- I got a Post-Wedding Chop :) (And I'm just now blogging about it. Whoops.)
I grew my hair out for the wedding- technically, I grew it out for 2 whole years. Right after graduating college, I decided to mark the occasion with a dramatic hair cut:
I didn't really maintain the cut and it started to grow; I guess maybe I'd planned to chop it down again after a year. But before I got the chance, Mr. Geek popped the question, and I knew I wanted to grow it out properly for the wedding. I managed to achieve some pretty decent length after another year of growth:
I really, really liked my pixie cut 2 years ago. Changing your hair is a great way to mark changes in your life, and getting married is a pretty big change- so I figured my hair should undergo equally as big a change. Plus, I had juuuust enough to donate to Locks of Love! Enough talk- let's have a picture!
Nooo, not yet! I got my hair cut on a Wednesday night, after work, and by the time I got home I was ready for a little mindless internet-ing and then bed. Mr. Geek grabbed the camera, knowing I'd want to document the change for the blog, but no! Not yet! Let's wait until I look a bit more...photogenic.
That's better :) Mr. Geek proposed last year just after we saw The Nutcracker, so of course that ballet is now a Christmas tradition in the Geek household. After we got home, I set up the camera and put it on self-timer to snap a few pictures of us looking so dapper. What do you think of the hair? Most days, I'm styling it like this- a little light styling wax and hair spray to make it lay down flat, swooping the bangs to the side a bit, maybe pinning them down or accenting with a headband like here. If I'm feeling more adventurous, however, I might spike it up a little bit, like when we went to our friends' apartment for their late Thanksgiving / early Christmas party:
Did you dramatically change your hair after your wedding? Would you ever try a pixie cut?
Much love,
The Geeks
