New Year, New 'do

For a long time, I have alternated between chopping all of my hair off and growing it out.  Lately, my hair has been long for longer than usual.  So, I decided it was time to ring in the new year by getting a new haircut!  Here's my before and after pictures- there was a lot of length lost!

I'm still playing around with it, but I think my favorite might be the way it looks after straightening (not pictured).  It looks edgier when it's pin straight, which I really like.  I love having the side swept bangs, too, but I think I might get them more pronounced next time I go in for a cut.

What do you think?  Any of you decide to do something drastic in the new year?

    YES! Love it!! It looks great! I love the bangs too--definitely not something I can do with my hair. :(

    Is a tattoo drastic? Because that's my next big thing....

      I know! I'm chatting with artists right now. I had to make sure it was something I still wanted, and now that the crazy holiday season is over, I can sit in a chair for hours and not feel completely stressed about it. Ha!

      Thank you, Debra Lynn! If you can believe it, I've had even more drastic cuts in the past! This just felt refreshing :) I'm happy I took the plunge, for sure!

    LOVE it! Super cute and flirty but could easily be edgy and dark too! I would say that will start your new year out well!

      Thank you! I do love how it turned out :) and I'm just waiting for an occasion where it would be appropriate to wear it slicked back!
