Whatdya think??

Did I fool ya?? ;) hahaha what a BAD photoshop job that was!!!
No, I didn’t chop off my hair (not yet anyways!).
Here is the ‘after’ picture:
I got 2-3 inches off and I also got low-lites. My hair had become that dreaded ‘one colour’ look from too much highlighting, so she added in some low-lites today to break it up. I think it looks so much healthier!
It is amazing what a few small changes can make!! :D I am really happy with it and have a little kick to my step! I don’t know why I always put off getting my hair done. I wait for months until I can’t stand it any longer! lol. I will have to remember these pictures and try to get it done more frequently. It makes me feel so great!
Before and after comparisons:
And that concludes tonight’s post! hahaha. Pretty pointless, I KNOW. But I just need a break tonight. Not every post can be a hot topic, ya know?! :p
Well, I guess there is a broader take-home message that may pertain to our own lives:
Take care of yourself- if you don’t no one will! Get that hair cut, make time for exercise, and do something YOU enjoy each day. Life is too short!!

Tonight’s question:
Do you change your hair for the summer? Do you style it differently or get it cut or coloured?
I always prefer to dry my hair with a round brush, but I must admit, in the summer when it is hot out, I just don’t have the patience to blow dry my hair and sweat to death! My hair is worn in a ponytail much more often in the summer. I also flat iron it once a week (like shown above) because it is quick and pulls my look together.
Peace out homies! It’s back to work for this chicky!
I’ve had a snag with my US shipping that I need to sort out. I also just got my GST number so now I have a huge amount of backlogging to do since my GST number was back dated to April.
My Brother in law and sis in law are giving us TWO tables and chairs tonight for FREE! I’m so excited, Eric is bringing them home now. We are actually going to have a dining room table now! whohoo!
I’ll be announcing the winner of the Neal Brother’s contest tomorrow AM- have no fear!
Wow, this is sooooo pretty! ANGELA, hahaha, is that the second photoshop scare? I like the long and lush, ohh myyy, like a celebrity!
I am trying to grow my hair out, to no success. I’ve been trying to grow it for YEARS it seems. :( Just keepin’ on with the vitamins and green monsters!
Ohhh, and you want to stick the cherry on the sharp tip, actually, like this! http://www.flickr.com/photos/chiffonade/3682082659/

Love the new haircut! It definitely looks healthier and the color looks more natural. For summer I cut a few inches off as well…I have thin hair so if it gets too long it looks gangly! I like the get natural sun highlights too :)
LOVE IT!
very pretty, hair looks great!! my hair is short and i am trying to grow it out.
Sneaky, Angela! You almost had me. I have never, ever dyed my hair or high/low lighted it, but seeing yours makes me want to try! It looks great!
Looks great! So shiny and healthy!
can’t fool us TWICE lol :-)
I love the new cut! I am thinking about going WAY shorter pretty soon here – I’ve got some pretty awful split ends myself – but I’m scurred and I don’t know just how short to go…. I wish I had a hairdresser friend to point me in the right direction!

NICE cut! I always schedule my next hair appointment when I go in. I used to have long hair (like yours) and it was driving me nuts so I semi-randomly decided to chop it last November. I love switching up hairstyles every once in awhile, keeps things fun! And it always grows back right??
beautiful, before and after, coloring is fantastic.
Even if you did cut your hair short its BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes its amazing how much healthier your hair is! speaking of which… I SO need to get mine tended too!
So pretty Ange! I love long locks, but mine is SO THICK. It always looks flat and weighted down. Yours just looks gorgeous!
gorgeous!
Your hair looks beautiful! I love how the lowlights really seem to make it look healthier.
I actually dye mine about twice a year, but I’m a brunette girl. I vary the shades of brown, red, and black, just depending on my moods. Usually, I’ll do it right at the END of summer since the sun seems to really lighten my hair. A dye at the beginning of the summer would definitely fade a lot by August.

Your hair is gorgeous :) YOU are gorgeous!
I have never dyed mine, but am probably getting highlights soon. I have curly hair so I understand hair issues ;)
<3 jess
It looks so much healthier – good call!!!!! :)
The hair looks great – I wish I could go blonde again!
I usually cut mine for the winter and grow it out for the summers so I can pull it back in a ponytail when I exercise!
Love It!
love the new cut!!! you are soooooooo gorgeous. your arms are lookin super toned too :)
