Three and a half years I elected to grow out my hair (February 2009, while I was deployed, after a very bad haircut), I faced the scissors and cut off about 16″ of my hair about 2 weeks ago.<\/p>\n

I had last done this in September 2007 right before I had started a new position in the AF Reserves, and I had donated the hair to the organization Locks of Love<\/a>. I did the same thing this time around, although I was saddened to hear that Locks of Love is very discriminating about the hair they receive and very few of their donations are actually turned into wigs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enjoy some pictures from my August 24th haircut!<\/p>\n

First the hair has to be sectioned off before cutting. My stylist, Katrina, got four sections.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
I had to say “Just do it!”. And there they are…the top ends of those ponytails looked and felt like large makeup brushes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
We attempted some highlights. It was a fail. This picture was staged for a “Read Comic Books in Public” day last week<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
When all was said and done, Katrina had to straighten and flatten my hair to make sure it’s even. I felt like the Johnny Depp version of Willie Wonka. I don’t plan to wear my hair like this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
This is more how I will wear my hair. Much easier to style this way. More like that cute actress who plays Alice Cullen in Twilight<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
