San Fernando Valley Choppers

I made a visit to my regular hair salon (been going for over 8 years now!) and decided it was time to chop my hair.

This was a few weekends ago - when we had the 100 plus weather heat wave - so I guess it shouldn't be too surprising that I probably left about 5 inch chunks of hair on the ground after the cutting was over.

Then i proceeded to color it a reddish mocha color and voila - new chopped 'Do. :)

Now the reality of any haircut is that it ALWAYS looks the best on the day you get it done.

Here's me on the same day i cut it:


My hair has some natural (and unpredictable) waves in it - so sometimes it seems to work in my favor, sometimes not at all. With some curling iron help, here's how it turned out:


Then here's another day... where it's just kinda there. But at least it's not frizzy and dry... (how it would look if i didn't do anything to it after washing)


After having my hair on the long and shaggy side for the last 2 plus years - it was actually quite refreshing to have this shorter cut. Save on Shampoo, that's for sure! And Barklee won't have super long strands of hair stuck to his toys... hahahha
