I haven't always had a pixie cut.
In fact I had long and crazy hair until my senior year of high school.
This was back when I was part cat/cheetah... 2nd grade maybe?
In highschool I had quite the mane of hair. (I really didn't brush it.)
I can't find any good pictures of that.. but it looked similar to the above picture.
In the middle of my senior year I cut all of my hair off.
I can't say exactly what brought me to do such a thing, but I'm glad I did.
I loved having short hair. Nobody could convince me to grow it back out.
(Believe me they tried)
I was told some other pretty awful things, I was told I looked like a little boy.
But I felt myself, and there is nothing wrong with feeling like yourself.
I told myself I would only grow it out if the right boy asked me to.
Then I met Taylor
I met Taylor while I was in college.
We fell in love and he asked me to grow it out.
People do crazy things when they are in love.. right?
So I grew it out. I didn't like it, but I did it for Taylor.
(I'm not choking my kitty.. promise. and yeah.. we are wearing matching Peter Pan hats. Sweeet.)
After a two years of growing it out and dating, we got married.
Growing your hair out is borrrring. I gave myself highlights, bangs, braids, I dyed it, and I even bleached all my hair.
I got so sick of it being long, but Taylor didn't want me to cut it!
I got pretty frustrated..
So after being married for a year, I tried to perm parts of my hair.
Then my hair fell out.
I was panicking, and crying a little bit.. but I was actually excited.
So I cut my hair off again.
Then I looked in the mirror and thought,
"Oh, there you are."
I've bleached it, dyed parts of it pink, dyed it back to brown, let it get a little longer, cut it real short.
And I haven't grown it out since.
Taylor keeps asking me when I'm going to grow it back out.
I don't have an answer for him... I love it short.
And for the days that I want it long..
I think I'm covered.
You look gorgeous with short hair! I hope you never cut it for anyone again. : )
ReplyDeleteI've been aching to try a pixie cut! I think you look great with it short!
ReplyDeleteI remember being so jealous of your hair when we were kids because it was curly and mine was just a nasty cow-licked bush. I really love the pixie cut on you though, it fits you so well! I don't know what it is about boys but they like long hair, Bryant asked me to grow mine out cause it was short when I met him. But I think I look fine with long hair (cause I have a long face) I also love how dark your hair is now!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower of your blog and I love it!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read more from you!
p.s. the pixie cut is beautiful!
This is so sincerely silly and sweet, I loves it, and I love the way you look every way because you resonate, but ya' pixies got your number:)
ReplyDeleteI've been feeling that way too. I've had my hair long for a long time now. In high school it was always short. Always terrible, but short and I miss it. I hope you don't mind if I copy your adorable hair. And maybe some of your hats
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! You should see my hair history! It's terrible how many bad cuts I've had!!! I love your short hair, it frames your pixie face perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI love love love the pixie cut! You look good with long hair. But how good can you really look when your unhappy with it? mmmm pixie cut. If I hadn't of just dyed my hair, I'd be cutting it all off.
ReplyDeleteDid you get the wig from the Manic Panic website/store?
ReplyDeleteHaha omgggggg I tried to perm my hair once a few yrs ago and it fell out too! Eeek! I kind of love your hair either way - not everyone can pull off a pixie cut!
ReplyDeleteplease don't grow your hair out! anyone that tells you to is crazy, even your husband! i mean, you look good either way, but the pixie cut is by far my favorite. thanks for the history, i quite enjoyed it.
ReplyDeletesincerely,
your stalker. :)
Rachael, I have always thought that you are one of those people who just looks SO amazing with short hair! I envy you, my face does NOT do well with the short hair, but you look absolutely gorgeous with it.
ReplyDeleteAnd, the wig is awesome. I want one!
I totally wish I could get away with short hair ... But I don't think I have the right face for it :P
ReplyDeletePS - I totally have that wig in blue ...
You have the most perfect features for a pixie cut! Keep it short lady, I love it! :)
