I've been petting myself all day!

The other day I looked like thisToday I woke up looking like thisThis is what I looked like after losing 10lbs of hair without losing any length! And then the story takes a sexy twist Let me start at the beginning, though. I woke up, any normal day that includes an incredibly indulgent hair style evolution. Let's just call it my 40th Birthday present to myself. I got the card of the guy who takes care of Donna, the woman with the coolest hair in town. (you can see a picture of her at Zenmomma's Garden, in the sidebar) I told him I had long straight hair and bangs and I've had long straight hair with bangs for a really long time and now I'm getting older and more grey and my hair is changing texture and this hairstyle is really not conducive to the hair I actually have and though I don't really know what it is I want, I'm definitely ready for something else. whew! Do you want color? Oh I dunno... that treatment takes indulgent to an incredibly luxurious level. I didn't decide on the phone, I couldn't, I left it up in the air. Once he fulfilled my ego's need for hair admiration, deep layers were recommended. My hair would be lighter, thinner and have some actual movement! And all the dead, scratchy, scraggly parts - the parts that actually led me to consider dreads - were gooooooone ♥ The Joy of maintaining the longest hair of my entire life!
He brought out the little color swatch book... and pointed right at the color he knew I'd pick for my own self... he asked if I liked my haircolor of course! I'm a strawberry blonde girl! Well maybe not! He swore he could do a dark, cherry toned color that wouldn't wash out my skin color and would look totally hot for my presentation and for my big ol' birthday. I took a deep breath and a big leap of faith. A blowdry and flatiron and a big ol' chunk o' cash later... Then I got out the eyeliner Holy crapoly! It's a chick!
