Buzzy Short Salt & Pepper Haircut

So here’s the thing.

One month later, (yesterday) I wanted this cut.

I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent stalking blogs and Instagram and YouTube and articles about going grey and getting a pixie cut and shaving your head and short hair fat girls and and and every time I thought about what I wanted deep down inside, I knew it needed to be drastic. A buzz. Shaved? Could I do it?

I WANT a Buzzy Short Salt & Pepper Haircut!

I knew I could do it. It’s hair. It will grow back. I felt a kinship with the women who said FUCK IT and did it all at once. Bam.

Yesterday, I thought MAYBE it was the blow dry but the Captain Marvel swoosh was not what I wanted. My inspiration board cuts were shorter, closer to the head. My cut felt bulky and thick. And the back, felt matronly. The ONE THING I DIDN’T WANT is to feel matronly. The cut while, lovely wasn’t me. It wasn’t what I wanted RIGHT NOW deep down.

As soon as I got home from work I played with wee clips and barrettes and headbands and found the pair of scissors I had been looking at all month and started to chop. Choppy chop chop. It ended up looking like this.

I went to bed HAPPY AND SATISFIED. I wasn’t crazy, this is what I really wanted! I promised HWMMS I would go back to a salon and even it out and get it shaved in the back sometime this week.

This morning under different lighting, I saw this…

Hahahaha! Um, yeah. NOPE. So off to the salon I went because it looked even more haphazard once I got in the vehicle and under natural light. Who knew? Well, everyone, EVERYONE knew (including me, but I didn’t care.)

Now I looked like…

Mac’s Mom from Always Sunny. (Wah, wah.)

So, before heading into work, I got my 4th haircut in 30 days (Bob, Short, Personal Hack Job and Buzz) AND I AM NOW COMPLETELY SATISFIED. And confused to why I didn’t do this in the first place? Second guessing yourself is sooooooooooo 2019.

I love it so. I love the grombre color. The soft feeling. (BOY MY NECK IS COLD!) I might look ready to scream STOP THE INSANITY but I’m punky and sassy while doing it. I can’t wait to start rocking pretty headbands and long earrings while it grows out and then cute little clips and barrettes in a few months!

I’ve had people tell me they liked my hair yesterday. I did too, but it wasn’t ME right now on January 29, 2020. I wanted as much dyed brown gone as possible.
