I got a haircut last weekend and I don’t know what the hell happened to me. When she said she was going to cut in some layers, I must of mm-mmm’ed, distracted by People magazine’s attempt at journalism.
How could I forget when my hair reaches a certain (short) length, it begins to show just the tiniest of wave? Of course I didn’t notice at the time because my hairdresser dried my hair using a $100 boar’s hairbrush the size of a soda can. It wasn’t until I washed it the first time and looked in the mirror with my damp hair.
Fuck.
So no more Katie Holmes hairdo. I now have what could be this commercial model’s hairstyle after I spend too damn long with a hot curling iron and some hairspray, something I didn’t have to do before. By the way, I’m talking about the model with two legs, not four.
Would you believe I have proof! I tried to take some flattering pictures of me, but three things thwarted my attempt:
-
I’m using a camera phone;
-
In the bathroom with bad lighting;
-
And I’m the least photogenic person in the world (and I feel weird smiling at myself).
I’m way late, I’ve been out of the blogosphere way too long, but…
I think your hair looks great just like that. Really cute.
I think it looks adorable, with a kind of retro-glamour thing going on. But I know what a pain it is to have to try to beat your hair into submission, which is why mine is long enough to weigh down most of the curl.
I think it’s REALLy cute! But I know what you mean. I straighten my curly hair. I get it cut so infrequently that I forget I can’t straighten layers. The stylist can, but I can’t. Every time I fool myself into thinking layers sound good and every time I end up swearing the next morning. Now if my layers looked cute like yours, thing would be very different!
I think it’s cute, too!
Jeez, I think it’s kind of cute …
I love your ability to accessorize.
Is that a word the way I spelled it?
I wish I could think to put on a necklace.
I like it!! I know, you are the one that is supposed to like your own hair. Good luck trying to style it. I refuse to do that in the mornings. Unless it is a special occasion I wash and go – I’m lucky if I use the blow dryer.
I like it, too. but then I have to blow dry my hair whenever I wash it or it looks really really stupid so I can’t imagine having a hairstyle where one can just wash and go. That *would* be a luxury.
I’m going to kiss your ass a bit and tell you I LOVE the cut.
Also? Your “I fucking hate taking my picture with my camera phone” expression made me laugh out loud.
So your hair does that when it gets to a certian length too??
Actually… I really do like it….It’s pretty cute!!
You know, I like it.
But I get the whole “now I have to STYLE it” thing. Most times it’s why I don’t bother getting my hair cut – despite the split ends and annoyance that I have to put it up all the time. *sigh*
Still, though. I like it. 🙂
I think it looks great on you, too! But, I understand about not wanting to spend all that time fussing with your hair. Personally, I hate dealing with my hair.
Nice pic’s. You know, KAtie has shown a little curl lately, perhaps she is copying you…
I agree with the PPs, I think it looks good, but I totally get that having to style one’s hair is an unacceptable encumberance.
Hearing the description of your styling efforts makes me glad I let my hairdresser talk me out of cutting mine up to the jawline last week. She was very, very wise to give me the straight talk: “Let’s be honest, most days you just want to put it in a ponytail and I don’t want to do anything that’s going to get in the way of that.” Sometimes it’s good to have a hairdresser who understands that I’m insistently frumpy despite her best efforts.
I like it too! My hair does something similar when it is shorter but not in such an all over funky way!! Yours looks great. if you don`t like it though, it is easily fixed with a straightening iron.
I like it.
I think it looks cute, but my hair does the same thing when it’s short and I hate it, so I understand how you feel.
Your camera phone takes better pictures than my camera phone. Mine would have turned you a lovely shade of yellowish-green.
Could be worse. You could have my hair.

Personally, I think it looks fabulous! It may not be what you wanted, but I think it looks great on you.
I think it looks like a cross between Paige Davis and Maggie Gyllenhall (sp??), so I think you’re in good company. I like it, but I hate having a haircut that I actually have to style. Haircuts shouldn’t be work, unless you’re Maggie or Paige and have the hair person to do it.
I really need to get my haircut but the last one I had was so horrible, I’m afraid to go back. You haircut isn’t bad at all. I do think you should have smiled though.
Ah! I think it’s cute! I wish my hair had a sort of wave to do something like that. Stick straight, baby soft, thick hair. GROSS.
As a super model, you look fab in any hairstyle.
But I do hear you on the styling/expectation frustration. I can never replicate the look at home when they add layers.
Well, it looks pretty good to me, but if you don’t like it, then think about using the flat-iron maybe? Reality is that when it’s that short, the layers can be grown out pretty fast without too much effort.
I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen your full face. Awwwwwww
I don’t know, I think it looks kind of cute…
But then, I have hair that won’t actually hold a curl, so I’m a bit envious of people who have natural ‘body’ to their hair.
🙂
It doesn’t look *that* bad!
You look so bershon. I just got a bad haircut too. The girl cut the layer in back too short & it just sort of frizzes at the ends, so it looks even unhealthier than when I went in,. The way I see it, It’s just hair. It’ll grow back.
Cool necklace by the way.
AWW…I think you still look like a supermodel…would a flat iron help? My hair does the same, only when it gets longer. I am growing out my pixie cut now and have the MOST HORRENDOUS curls at my ears!
