So Long Old Friend

Posted by Seeking Solace |

As many of you know, I have been having issues with my hair because of the methotrexate. It really did some damage to the front and top of my hair.

After several attempts to salvage what was left, my stylist and I agreed that it was time to start with a clean slate.

So, this is the "before"


And now the "after"

I now have a Halle Berry pixie cut. I have not worn my hair this short in 20 years. I am not sure if I like it or not. I guess I will have to get used to the change.

But I am a little sad. I have been losing a lot of things lately.

I like it!!

Having had no hair for a while, I think I'd keep it if the society wasn't so hair obsessed... I do think I'll keep it really short from now on, especially if you're spending time in the pool, you'll find it is easier to deal with.

I like it, too! Although, I do also understand....that is not just kind of short. that is short short. must feel weird.

It's a darling haircut!

It looks cute from the photos. Now, question is, what will you do with all the time that isn't spent styling longer hair...more time for fun!

Do you feel colder now? Whenever I get my hair cut short I always have the urge to wear a hat outside for a few days, even in the middle of the (OK British) summer.

Thanks everyone!

I do feel colder. When I left the salon, I could really feel the cold air!

I also miss having the back of my neck covered. I kept putting my hand on the back of my neck wondering where my hair was!

Cool! I'll bet you look fabulous and I'm guessing it will be much easier. I'm sure it is a shock, though, to see yourself in the mirror. I'm glad you have a supportive stylist who's working with you. That's a huge help.

That looks like an awesome cut! I had my hair cut like that for a while when I was a senior in college, and really liked it.

Just look at the plusses: you don't have much to do to make it look nice, so you won't have to waste time. You will get to sleep in!

Maybe this is an excuse to get a really cute and warm scarf?

Looks cute! I've always loved the pixie cut but could never pull it off.

A few good scarves are definitely in order!

Use the coldness as an excuse to buy and wear really cool scarves!

I bet your natural curliness gives your short hair some nice body. Mine would just stay plastered to my head.

It's really pretty! I understand mourning the hair. You'll probably have days of shock going by mirrors, but you'll get used to it.

I think it's darling!
