The Long and the Short of It

Once upon a time, there was a girl with super long hair.

Before

Then one day, this girl was watching one of her favorite TV shows and noticed the main character chopped off her long locks in favor of a graduated bob.

Kate Walsh Long Hair Kate Walsh Short Hair

Girl wondered if her face was suitable for a shorter style. Girl texted her hairstylist of 5 years: "Would Kate Walsh's bob work on me?" Super Boy Wonder Hairstylist replied: "Definitely."

A few weeks later, Super Boy Wonder Hairstylist called in a panic. "Betty, do you still want to do the bob? I would cut your hair for free. I need to videotape it for an audition." (For Bravo TV's Shear Genius reality competition!) Girl decided she would do it. Girl was nervous when she arrived at the salon for the audition haircut. Girl was very attached to her long hair and worried that she might hate it and cry, and that would certainly not be good for an audition tape.

Haircut Aftermath

Girl smiled at her shorter hair in the mirror after cutting and before the blow out. She already knew she loved. All smiles.

After

Guess I need to update my cartoon picture to reflect my sleeker, shorter hair.
