My Haircut | From Long, Layered Hair to a Lob

I did it! I made sure my hair salon knew what I wanted by showing them a picture of a celebrity who had this lob. I really liked that this was different from a bob; I liked how the sharp angle on the side goes from short in the back to long in the front.

I was able to get my haircut and donate about 12 inches to Locks of Love. I have donated to them once before, but I think that this is the most hair I ever donated! It’s listed that the minimum is 10 inches and has to be cut while in a ponytail. Once she cut it, my head felt lighter and I felt free. You then place the ponytail into a zip lock bag and into a padded envelope. I sent it out today and this is the result.

I had very long hair that, to me, was starting to look too long. I love long hair, so for me to think that was a big deal. I didn’t want it to be hippie long. I decided I needed a change and would like to do it after my birthday but before Fall ends.

I have been getting mixed reviews on how old this haircut makes me look. Some have said that because it’s shorter, I look even younger. But others have said that because of the angle of the lob, it makes me look older.
