I did it
« on: January 16, 2012, 04:29:02 PM »
I posted in the past about letting my hair grow....being an "older woman with long hair".....well.....I changed my mind. My hair was chest length and I decided to cut it all off drastically into a pixie. I've gotta say....I just love it!
I don't have to do anything at all to it anymore. I don't worry about damaging it either because I get it cut every 6 weeks.
I've given away all of my expensive hair products and I'm now using and loving Suave shampoo and conditioner. It costs me about $3 a month for hair products now :grin:
Life is good!

But Cathy, you have the most lovely face to be shown off with this cut!  I wish I had your bone structure :)

Thanks for the hint.  I think I had avatars hidden for some reason.  All this time I've probably been missing out!

I am so envious of your cut, Cathy.  It takes a certain confidence to go that short, plus the right features, head shape, and everything.  It looks wonderful and really brings out your eyes, just like Judi Dench!  It must be the freest feeling to have hair that is so easy to care for.  I think you look fabulous!

Adore this cut! It really suits your face and you carry it off to a "t." So glad you're loving the low maintenance freedom!

You look beautiful!  You have gorgeous skin AND great hair!  Thank you for posting the pic!  I can see avatars now, but you look too good to stay mini-sized.  :)

Really pretty!  I think it's your strong eye color and brows that make this look work so well for you.  Love your earrings, too - bet you have a lot of fun choosing them now with your new hair.

Perfection!

Goodness knows when, if ever, my hair will be beautifully platinum. I mustn't wish my life away wanting it to happen but your photo makes me impatient.

I can see why you're so happy with a pixie style. It's made for you.

I´d be so happy if my hair was that color! I´d never ever color it.

Pixie does not suit my face but it really, really does yours.

You have a face made for a pixie cut. I can't imagine any other length on you because that cut is so perfect for you.

Your skin is perfectly beautiful too. What's your secret to such a flawless complexion?
