Before
After
I haven't had my hair short since college. And even then, it wasn't THIS short. :) I donated a little over 10" to Locks of Love. 7 Salon offers free Locks of Love haircuts Mondays-Wednesdays. This includes shampoo, cut, style and they will send your donation in. Cat did a wonderful job on my hair and I couldn't be more pleased. She was nervous about me taking so much length off! She said that this was the most drastic cut she has performed. Haha! All for a good cause and I feel so liberated with the new do. :)
I will say, that even with short hair, I still shed like crazy. I thought it would subside, but nope! Well, at least the hair is easier to clean up. I hella dislike the long strands all over the carpet and bathroom floor. I would get grossed out, even with MY OWN HAIR! LOL!
With new hair, comes new hair responsibilities. I no longer have wash & go hair, but it does not take too much time to style. Maybe 15 minutes max. I have to blow dry my hair and the lovely cowlicks down and also use a styling cream. As recommended by a friend, I picked up Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree Shaping Cream. Love the smell and the hold! Holds my hair in place, yet still pliable.

Pros:
- Flexible hold
- Amazing smell - so clean & fresh
- Does not create visible build up like some gels & mousse do
Cons
- Feel the product when I run my fingers through my hair (that's a given & I think its just my OCD tendencies!)
Would I recommend this product?
- YES!!
