The last time I had my hair cut was back in June. It was an interesting cut, I had these sort of dog ears in the front and chopped layers in the back. I was not pleased. So I let it grow. Then I stopped paying attention to it. When I realized how long it was, I thought, for about the tenth time, that I should donate it to Locks of Love. Apparently about the same time Jess was thinking of the same thing. Soooo I continued to let mine grow.
Strange thing about me and my hair, the longer it gets, the more I fear letting it go. Even when I realize that I am not looking my best.
Today was the day. Jess and I went together and did it.
I know that my hair was beyond shaggy buuuuuuutttttt, I was not quite ready for this short. I haven't even looked at the back, it is really short. Really. I can't bring myself to look. In spite of never, ever, wanting to do this again, I'm really glad I did it this once.
P.S. If anyone one of you tells me I look perky you'll be dead to me. Really. Not. Kidding.

I won't tell you that you look perky, that is NOT the correct discription, but I will tell you that you look amazing. I love it and you know (as I told Jess) that I LOVE long hair. I've always loved my girls with their beautiful hair long. BUT, oh my word, thought I would never say this...this hair style look beautiful on you. Enjoy the newness and differentness of it knowing 'you look good!!!'
P.S. and....you did a good thing for a good cause!!!!!
It looks fantastic! Oh, Corinnea, I love it! And it's awesome that you donated it; I've never cut enough off at once to donate mine.
I have to ask, though...where did the "no perky" thing come from? Did the stylist say it?
I think you look beautiful!!! I have always been envious of your hair, and think this cut really shows it off! Proud of you for doing such a great and really difficult thing, makes me want to cut mine off too!
from someone whose mom wears wigs when her hair is gone from chemo....your soul shines!
I like it, Corinnea! Lookin' good! And your donation to the cause has to make you feel good!
But it IS really CuTe! It's so tempting, but, ... I'll be NiCe *vbg*
Good donation, great cause! I've had several students over the years do this same thing. :-}pokey
yes, "perky" is definitely a word reserved for the boobs of those who haven't had children and flight attendants. I would say this is more "sleek and chic". And above all, gorgeous! You did a good thing.

You look great! Short hair really does become you whether you like it or not!
And I think what you did is a great thing! GREAT! You just made a HUGE impact on someone else's life!
Corinnea!! I miss you over here! I love seeing pictures of you and I love this cut on you!! Good job donating too. really cool.
Crafterhours: you made me laugh! I'm not sure mine were ever perky though...
Thanks so much everyone for the reassurance that my very vain little self needed!
Adrianne many years ago I had a very short cut and for some reason people thought perky was a compliment.... Why people needed to say anything other than hey, nice hair is beyond me. Guess I felt no one really liked the way it looked and thought perky was a good cover.
Seriously no part of me has ever been nor will be perky. Bubbly maybe but not perky.
I have issues.
Oh Corinnea! You look so perk... uh... bouncy... no... hehe! I think it looks good! I could be biased since we now have the same haircut... but I really do think it looks great! Wear it proudly!
oh wow what a wonderful thing to do. I have periodically gone and had my hair cut short - really short from long. Including the time age 17 I sat in a hairdressers window right before Christmas and they hacked my very long hair off randomly to save washing it all - much to the horror of Christmas shoppers passing by in the street!)and I figure it'll grown back. At least your donation (I had to google that) is helping someone who had no choice but to loose their hair.
I like it on you. It looks very sophisticated. Notice I didn't say perky.
After I looked up what "perky" means (just to stay on safe ground ...) - I can honestly say I wouldn't have thought of using a term like that. But I do think your new hair cut looks great, I really like it!
