I cut it last Friday because the following Saturday I was going to one of my best friend's birthday bash, and I wanted to do something new and exciting to spice things up a bit, you know? Tired of the same old thing. So, I got it cut and blown straight and it looked very nice. The problem is that I have very curly hair, as most of you know, and when it curls it shrinks up to about two-thirds of the length it was when it was blown straight. So, I washed my hair the other day and styled it curly and it was a mess. A. Horrible. Mess. The length is all wrong - it needs to either be shorter and sassier or longer and sexier, but this length looks like a horrible waiting-for-it-to-grow-out stage. The pro to this is that I can keep it blown straight and it will look pretty good, except for the fact that I absolutely LOVE my curls and prefer wearing it curly than I do straight. I at least like having the option of having it either way! It will be getting colder here in NYC over the next few months though, so I suppose keeping it straight will only make sense since going out with my hair curly often means it's wet too, which won't be good in the upcoming cold months. Bah humbug.
Okay, I've vented enough. Thank you for allowing me to have my cyber-tantrum. Bless you all. :-|
P.S. Okay, I'm giving in - here's a picture of the new hair. You can almost see the pain in my eyes as I try to smile in vain for the camera...
...sigh...

aww sorry about the haircut. And it may not be as bad as you think. We are usually our harshest critic. You have to post a picture so we can judge. We will be honest, but nice. I promise. :-)
You're still gorgeous!
I don't like any hairstyle that makes me have to do too much work!
Honestly it doesn't look so bad!
Actually, I think it looks gorgeous! I had a dodgy do as well recently; paint splattered muck colour. Sigh.
Mama, I know how it is. I also have very curly hair. It is definitely hard to find someone to style and cut it. The shrink factor is a huge issue. My daughter is now 6 months and I haven't got my "hair did" since my first trimester. If you thought your picture was bad... :)
You can sort of make out some my hair on this post http://humpsandbump.blogspot.com/2009/05/babys-photo-shoot.html. Not only is it too long but I have about 5 inches of roots!
