I am feeling like I lost 5 pounds! How did I do it? Easy! I thinned out my hair. This is a quasi-yearly occurrence, which involves me, thinning shears, and a hairy bathroom to clean. It's been over 4 years since I have had my hair cut by anyone beside myself. Why? Well, first of all, I am cheap. That's right, I embrace it. Secondly, I know my hair and how it has a life of its own, therefore, I feel pretty confident in being my hair stylist. Luckily, my hair's texture (dryish loose curls) is very forgiving for amateur cuts. All I do these days is thinning and trimming, but I have, in the past cropped it pretty darn short (a curly flapper bob). What the heck, I figure if I royally screw it up, I'll pay a professional to fix it. Plus cutting my hair allows me to have instant gratification...no need to wait to book an appointment.
You know what is crazy about thinning my hair? It looks pretty much the same after I take out a tumbleweed sized amount. How much did I take out? I'll let the pictures do the talkin'.

| Hmmm...this could be really small, right? |

| Think again! I added my huge-ass man-hands in there for size comparison. Oh, and you can see my engagement ring, kinda. I'll have to take a "real" picture of it to share sometime soonish. |

Any of you cut-it-yourself when it comes to your hair?
hahahahaa that is hilarious the pic of it in the snow like a tumbleweed. I also only cut my own hair and am in need of some sort of thinning because its so damn thick! ugh!
