i got my haircut!

i have always wanted long hair.

always.

i have always had short hair. 

always. 

recently my hair was the longest it had ever been in the history of me. it was only three or four inches below my collar bone, but that is long in my book! my hair was getting to be really gross and dry though so yesterday i went to my hair place and told the lady that i wanted three inches cut off. 

as i've learned in my 16 (almost 17) years of life, haircutters always cut off way more than you ask. i have cried countless times after i've gotten a haircut because i just hated it so much. but this time, even though my haircutter cut off more than i asked, i am in love with my new hair cut. i now have a long-ish bob that sits right above my collar bone. 

i think it's adorable, and i will probably keep getting this same hair cut for a while! 

my mom says that my hair looks best shorter because i have a rounder face, so this cut does flatter me best! 

here's a before picture :

also, i have been having a problem where my scalp is dry and flaky, but also having greasy hair. i asked the lady cutting my hair about this problem, and she asked me if i wash my hair every night. i do because it gets greasy if i don't wash it every night. she told me that washing your hair every night can cause your scalp to get dried out, and it also causes your hair to over produce oils! who knew?! so i will now be washing my hair every other night to keep my hair healthier. 

thanks for reading!

do you always end up going back to the same haircut? 

how often do you get your haircut? 

p.s. update! i went to francesca's to find the dress i talked about in my last post. they still had it on hold for me, but it was too small! for some strange reason the arms were ridiculously tight, and literally cut off my circulation ha! i guess it just wasn't meant to be with this dress ;)
the search still continues for the perfect winter dress though.
