Since Shari Twittered a request for a picture of my new haircut, I decided to take one using Photo Booth.

In December when I previously got my hair cut, I had gone with a bob, shorter in the back, angled toward the front. When it grew out, it started looking bell-shaped, which I did not appreciate, so I decided to go in the opposite direction: heavier on top, choppier on the bottom. I also opted to go with the long bangs, a look I haven’t done very much in the past. I actually wanted something that looked edgy and modern, but my stylist is pretty conservative so this is the end result. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, though. Being conservative tends to result in less potentially atrocious haircuts.

I love my stylist, but she tends to over-style my hair after cutting it. Today, with a handful of mousse, she used the flat iron and flipped the ends up. She also gave me quite a bit more height on the top and styled the bangs well away from my forehead. Needless to say, with my naked forehead and flippy hair, I looked like a throwback from the 50’s. In hindsight, I really should have taken a picture of it, but it was a little too scary, in my opinion. When I got home, I shampooed it (again), restyled it, and felt much happier.

So, this is the current champuru look. Like? I can’t decide.
