"When you're ready this is going to be really hard to grow out."

Last March I posted about cutting my hair off. I absolutely loved how my hairdresser and friend Ashley was able to give me exactly what I wanted. It was short all around and long on one side. For a year I loved it and then...I started to get bored. This... Continue reading
