I love your hair! I have seen some of your uke sample videos. When I see your hair, I want to chop mine off! I use to have a very short pixie cut that I loved. I have had many short haircuts but the pixie cut was my fave. I like having long hair but it's a lot to maintain. I had dreadlocks once. Lol Talk about low maintenance.
Thanks! I was thinking about dreadlocks. They would be so short for awhile. But at the same time, I love being able to change my hair color willy nilly. And my hair my hold it if bleached white. But at the same time, what I have going on is so easy to change the color on. And if I bleach and let my hair grow out some, it ends up by the 3rd of 4th time getting rubbery and breakable.
The story behind my hair cut. I had wanted my hair short for SO LONG. I would wear it like chin length short, but never short short. I wanted to try it for so long. Just scared to death to do it. And then I would ask hairdressers to do it and they would talk me out of it.
When Aloha Snow (my Ice Cream shop that did terrible that led to Mim's Ukes though) closed, it was quite a feeling of failure in my life. It was something I worked hard for with nothing to show for it besides debt.
I had gained weight, just felt blah about myself, and just needed a change. And I was doing a total flip in one month and diving head first into Mim's Ukes. And I kept half jokingly saying, "I am going to close the doors, then I am going to chop my hair all off and dye it blonde." Expecting #1 Levi to not believe me and #2 for him to talk me out of it. When he said, "Why not?" I was like... ok... I NEED this! I am going to do it! He said he would bleach it for me.
He said if I was going to do it I was not allowed to do my typical Great Clips things I do and I needed to get a decent haircut. So I paid for a $35 person (which for me is just, lots), and came in with 2 hairstyles I printed out. One was more of a longer short cut that is usually what hairdressers would talk me into and the other was short short. She actually was more apt to talk me into it and said, "Look, I will cut it to the length of this first cut, but I think you will like this shorter better." Sure enough, she cut it to the first length, looked at it, and said "You don't want this, you just don't, lets go with the short short cut." AND I LOVED IT! So freeing. Then I did the blonde thing. So much fun! THEN, we moved to the mountains and the only place to really get my hair done was 40 minutes away. And I got lazy one day and told Levi "I am taking a 1 inch guard to my hair" (it was NEVER that short, not even close). I waited for him to talk me out of It and he didn't. And I went into the bathroom and cut my own hair.
So, essentially my haircut is a 1 inch guard cut all over, I just make sure I leave some sideburn whispies to give it a feminine touch. And I like it once it grows out about 2-3 weeks so I plan my haircuts around events. Like I will cut it 2 weeks before Grand Northern, dye it a week later, and then it should be still at a good cut and dye by UWC. Whenever I think about going back to longer hair, I just don't see it happening. Well, anytime soon. I am very grey. VERY grey. But not ready to be grey. (I am more salt than pepper, in my Koaloha demos I am wearing a hat, because I just cut it, I have blue on the tips, but the rest is grey... it is pretty, but ages me a lot).
Ok, that was a lot of info, but yeah, the point is... I do love my short hair.
