Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are…
Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect Tomorrow.
One day I shall dig my nails into the earth,
or bury my face in my pillow,
or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky
and want, more than all the world, your return.

The Reveal...

Before                                                                                              After
Subtle differences to be sure.  Most of them aren't that visible in the picture.  In the "after" my color is deeper, richer.  The length is a bit shorter, the curl is better defined, though I'm not sure if that's because of product/styling or something to do with the cut.  I've never had a "dry" cut before, that was definitely an experience.  Basically she just snips anywhere and everywhere to shape it, it's a cut specifically designed to enhance curly hair.  It was a bit disconcerting after being used to an all-over uniform cut all of my life, but I can see the logic in it.  I'm curious how my hair will be tomorrow and as the days go by as I style it myself.  Excited with the possibilities, as Rebekah put it, cautiously optimistic.

This is the first time I've ever posted a picture of myself on this blog.  Warning:  it could self-destruct at any time.  :)

I've never heard of a cut like that but I think it looks fantastic. I does seem to subtley enhance your curls. Very nice.
