Late 2009, I had a major transformation after I got a drastic change in hairstyle. One random day, I took the plunge and stepped into the salon and asked the stylist to give me a full fringe. I chose to go to Aveda, a reputable salon, and not the usual cheapo local salon I go to. I wanted to make sure I was in the best hands with this big decision. I remember how there was a full second pause before he actually cut it, as if giving me more time to savor the moment before what could either be cool or doom. The result?
I got mixed reviews from friends and family but I'd say it was mostly positive. Although my dad tells me to never get a cut like that again.
Towards the end of last year, I was toying with the idea of getting another "makeover" but I'm never the adventurous type to begin with. I had been wanting to get soft waves but would always chicken out. I had also always loved layered look but never really got to achieve it no matter which salon I went to because my hair is "too straight". I also thought maybe I'd look nice with a bob when that was the in thing but of course that didn't happen either. The new year celebrations are way over and I still have not made the trip to the salon. I've decided I'm keeping my hair long but it definitely needs updating. I did a quick google on this year's haircuts and ended up seeing this article on top hairstyles for 2011.
