Volume!

I have long, and when I say long, I mean down to my waist long, dark brown, curly hair. I do straighten it everyday though, and that's all I do with it, there isn't really much I can do with it. I was looking through hairstyles the other day because me & my friend both grew out our hair and she dyed her's brown and cut it the other day for the new school year and says that I should cut my hair too. Only thing is, I've only done it once, in 5th grade. If this was a television show and not a blog, then this is where the flashback scene would begin...
I'm not sure who convinced me to do it, but somebody did, and so I was in the car on the way to the forumn to get my hair cut at CoolCuts for Kidz! because we had a discount coupon for this place. When I went in my mom told the lady where I wanted it cut, an inch below my shoulders. The lady asked me if I wanted to watch a movie or play a game, becuase that's why it's coolcuts for kids, I said no, all I wanted was a haircut, she said ok. "I'm going to watch Shrek becuase it's my favorite kids movie", she said and put the videotape in the tiny TV in front of us. Then the haircutting began. I didn't pay much attention while she did it, because it isn't that exciting, but I also wasn't watching Shrek, because I didn't, and still don't, like that movie. When she was done I looked in the mirror and was horrified; an inch below my shoulders turned into 3 inches above them.

Needless to say, I have not been back there.


I grew my hair back out, which went quickly because I remember having my long hair in 7th grade, and haven't gotten it cut since. But this picture is how I would like my hair to look, if I had to cut it, and I think this weekend I might do just that, and also get a french manicure, because, well, I want one.
