After talking about cutting my hair and fretting over it for far too long, I finally just did it. On my lunch break at work. Luckily for me I work with amazingly talented freelance hair stylists every day, and one of these lovely folks offered to cut my locks in exchange for cocktails and many thankful hugs. It's a crazy thing to go from waist long hair to this new shoulder length 'do, but I am super happy with my decision. It was time for a change! I still keep making these long haired lady gestures, like trying to flip it all over one shoulder (channeling Cher probably), and then feeling silly because there is nothing really to flip. It feels amazing to have all that weight gone, especially during these sweaty sticky summer days. I loved my long hair and how it sort of became part of my identity over the years, but I'm glad I got over it and went for something new. It was about damn time.

Ashley, it looks fantastic and well done for being brave and giving it a go, you look stunning!
It's amazing how much hair can become a part of our identities. I was a platinum blonde for 7. 5 years, and was GUTTED when I changed it. My white blonde locks felt like a part of me. It's been four months now and I love my more natural golden blonde, and I agree with you, I am glad I got over it. I LOVE your new do! It may sound weird, but I feel like I can see your features more? A great 'do on you!
refreshing! :)

Big thumbs up for you new 'do, sweetheart! Those wavy locks really flatter your beautiful features and may I say that you could even dare a shorter length like in the Disguised pictures you posted a while ago, so charming!
I've been looking at my split ends a lot lately, hope I'll have the guts to chop them off soon ;)
It seriously looks adorable! Congrats! Alex
