A-Line Bob--A new do

Ever since I got my hair cut short(ish), I have been wondering whether I should grow it out or keep it at a short length.  Last Tuesday in class, however, we watched some video demonstrations on a few different types of haircuts.  One of them was an A-line bob, which is a cut I've always wanted, but avoided because it would leave my hair too short for work.

At this point, I was pretty bored with my hair so I decided to go for it.  I asked one of my favorite instructors, Ms. Charlene Dinsdale, to cut my hair for me.  She is one of the sweetest people I know.  I should have gotten a picture with her.

Just to recap, this is what my hair looked like after I got it cut short the first time (and with some curls in it):

It has grown another inch or two since then and didn't look too flattering on me:

I had wanted to keep the length in the front so that the slope from the back to the front would be at a steeper angle.  But my perfectionist of a teacher snipped the front just a bit to take out the layers that were hanging around the front.

It's quite different than what I'm used to from my long hair days!  I liked it okay at first but this hair style has really grown on me!  I do miss the things I can do with long hair but having a shorter do is quite refreshing.  My teachers say that keeping my hair at this length keeps the focus on my face when people looking me.  I suppose that should be a good thing.  In any case, next step will be to add more blond :)

Anybody else ready to chop their hair off for the summer?  Surprisingly, it's not as scary as I thought it would be.
