My Pixie Life

I don't like to post photos of myself but my friend Helena wanted me to blog about this so she could see my hair, so this is for you babycakes!

I cut my hair real short a few weeks back. Pretty much all my life I've had long hair, I was born with lots of hair grew it out to my bottom but when I came to Australia I chopped it off to my shoulders (I was about 5). I think it grew out a bit then when I was 6 I thought my sister's friend was so pretty and she had hair bluntly cut to her chin. So I had my mom cut it the same way and lol it looked it really bad on me because my hair would fluff out to the shape of a triangle. From there I just grew it out and it was always roughly between my shoulders and half way down my back. I don't think I ever grew it down my bum again. About 4 years ago I cut it pretty short so it was in a bob kind of style but I hated it and grew it out. Lately I've had hair sitting above my shoulders and then grew it a bit past my shoulders. And then I decided to do what I've always wanted to do - get a Mia Farrow pixie cut.

I was always too chicken to go this short because I thought it would make me look like a boy since I don't have any overly girly features. But I really like...except it's a pain to style. So when I'm at home and don't need to go anywhere, I don't style it and it looks so funny! Right now the front is sticking up and there's a little piece that is hanging across my forehead...but no photos, no need to embarrass myself :)

The photos were edited with a little program called Poladroid. It's so awesome. I love polaroids and the program can change the way you want the photo to be processed. The first photo I left it on default and the second one I had it processed with a paper finish so that's why there are fingermarks on it. Go download it and have fun, it's free!

  1. Your new haircut looks lovely!

    I have pixie hair too. I always had hair down to the middle of my back, until abut 10 years back I got bored of it and had it cut off to about jawbone length. After that, it's just gotten shorter and shorter. :)
    I was worried about going very short as well, since my features aren't very feminine either, but I find that the short "Jean Seberg"-style pixie cut works better with my face shape than having longer hair.

  2. You're absolutely adorable! So cute! :)

    I could only wish I would look that good with short hair. My cousin experimented on me, while she was getting her license in hair. I was only in kindergarten, but someone thought I was a boy! I was so traumatized that I vowed never to get my hair cut short again! :)

  5. Hahaha... Remember when I saw you at Ikea? I told Michael that and he was like, "How's her hair look?" I was like, "Hair?" So yeah... I didn't notice and now I was feeling pretty stupid. I was a bit out of it that day so I guess I can be forgiven right? Anyway, it looks good! Now I want to go get a super short hair cut.
