Two weeks ago I went in to see Eric with a few ideas about how I either wanted to bleach my hair to look like my fake kid sister, or cut it into something that hinted at the 90s with a bit of an undercut (Eric and I had matching undercuts in high school- how cute!) but I wanted to keep one side really full and long so I could still join the circus. There was some trepidation about whether or not the bleach would make my hair orange, so we went for the cut and foils instead. It went white-blonde, but we had also put black foils in some spots so my plans of being a suicide blonde were in fact... foiled! At the half way mark we discussed layering the long side and before I could argue: chop, chop, off it came.

Eric is a master of the razor cut, but I wasn't exactly thrilled with how it turned out because I was wanting to keep it full and long so I could still play around with girly pin curls and stuff. The layers sort of hinder that kind of thing. I tried doing pin curls and I looked like I had a porcupine stuck to the side of my head. Srsly. Not pretty.
So after a few days I hacked another three inches or so off the long side. It was still an awkward length for me, but I lived with it for a few more days...

This morning, I cut some more length off, and it looks so much better. It was kind of difficult cutting the back, but I'm PRO, so, it turned out pretty alright, if I do say so myself. I imagine I'll probably keep cutting it shorter and shorter until I have a pixie cut just in time for fall. I may get Eric to help me out with that one though... I'm not sure I'm that pro.

I! Love! It! That haircut looks great on you. (I have tried the asymmetrical situation on several occasions to no good end, so I love living vicariously through those who can pull it off so well!) Also great: the dress on the dress form in the background.
thank you! i feel a little 2003 rockin' the asymmetrics again, but it was time for a change and the "just letting my hair grow out" look was no longer working for me. I'm thinking of going "rosemary's baby" soon. maybe. only time will tell.
i was working on adding that dress to my etsy shop... but the embroidery had some issues; so we start again!
I love it. I wish I could work this kind of cut.
Whenever I see short hair I get terribly jealous. It will be so easy to manage! When I cut off my hair I didn't like it for a little bit but then I started to absolutely love it. Hope you feel the same!
You are hot, hot, hot!
omg I been rockin' the asymmetrics (I started with a similar haircut to yours) since last year and it NEVER gets old. I actually feel you have MORE versatility with it.
It looks amazzin! I like your modifications; so much better! total babe!
Honey, that haircut is a million kinds of sassyfied hott messes, and you tots amazing, srsly fer realz! Rosemary's Baby!!! I rocked the pixie look for a long time and love it. Then I had my Mr. Spock/Louise Brooks thing, and now I have british schoolboy edging towards some amalgamation of a mohawk!
xoxo!
ambika: thanks! i know it's not for everyone, but you never really know until you try it! (i know that's scary)
tara diane: i never really found long hair that difficult to manage. shorter hair can be just as high maintenance if you want it to be. i'm no stranger to short hair either. my hair is in a constant state of flux; i'm either growing it out or chopping it off. meh. it's just hair. it grows.
anabella: ssssssizzling! thanks babe!
america: sweet! we're twins! i still sort of feel like i've already done the asymmetrics and feel a bit dated... like i've regressed six years and should be hanging out at all night makeout parties or something... maybe i should embrace it!
chad: holy crap, you're the cutest!!! i had a pixie for years too. i LOVE that you did your hair like MR. SPOCK!!! that's so much better than the time i cut my hair like ozzy osborne.
embrace it sister! you look amazzzing!
damn girl, yer hurr looks good.
a little tegan and sara, i might add.
I LOVE it! I am already contemplating my fall do!!!
America: I cut it again! ha ha!
