16 weeks

That's how old Oli turned yesterday. That's how long it's been since I did anything to my hair. I went and got a trim right after he was born just so it would remain healthy. But, I wanted to grow it out and it had been a whole year before then since I had done anything to it. Well, it grew some but then starting last month, I started losing it by the clumps. Apparently, it's the 3 month postpartum hair loss that can continue till Oli's a year old. And I have been wearing it in a pony tail since I got back to work and with the loss, it started looking really raggedy. So, off I went yesterday and got it chopped off. The hairstylist was shocked at how much I wanted off (4-5 inches) but I told her to just do it. Here's a photo. I might update it tomorrow after I get a chance to wash and dry (who am I kidding? I never dry my hair, let the air do it) it.

I can't imagine letting it grow a year!!

Can you send me your address? I have something for Oli but need to get it to you before he gets to old... LOL

Looks good! I don't remember the last time I got mine cut. It has been a while.

I'm going next month. Not looking forward to the hair loss part. I was already getting it before I got pregnant and it has stopped for now.

I let mine air dry too :D

I love the new cut!

And I know what you mean about drying it. Who has the time anymore anyway, right?

Anjuli, chop it off right now, it'll save you time later :-P
