I Am Not My Hair

Shana Alexander once said; Hair brings one's self-image into focus; it is vanity's proving ground. Hair is terribly personal, a tangle of mysterious prejudices.

I've been planning to have my haircut done for weeks and try something new and SHORT - I mean really short this time. I was surfing (on the net) for some good hairstyles to follow and I found MANY - I had a hard time choosing which style to follow that best suits the shape of my face.


But since I was so eager to cut it short so..."I went and did what I had to because it was time to change my life. To become the woman that I am inside... - India Arie"


In view of the fact that I live in a place wherein people don't speak the same language as I do, a photo of the hairstyle I'd love to have is a must :D.


Saturday morning, two of friends and I headed to the hair salon - EN CROUTE. And after an hour and 30 minutes of shampoo slash haircut slash shampoo again slash massage slash final cut this is now the new me...










Quoting India Arie's I Am Not My Hair: "At the turn of the century, it's time for us to redefine who we be. You can shave it off like a South African beauty or get in on lock like Bob Marley. You can rock it straight like Oprah Winfrey.... "
