Done!

22" braided, not stretched, from nape to tail. So probaby 24" straight and stretched with the split ends clipped off. Thanks to both my sister and my seester for helping with the scissors and the moral support.

Yes, there are pictures of the entire process, including the fashion consultation afterward involving hair clips and so on.

The Internet tells me that my current hairstyle is called an inverse inverted bob.* It's damn cool looking, and my hair has body and volume in a way that I never imagined. Serious mushroom head after 20 years of brushed-back cueball.

SO ADORABLE. I'm going to have RSS (reflective surface syndrome) for at least a week. And I keep running my fingers through my hair and it stops too soon.

* I like "inverse" better because I'm a math geek.

wow. I look forward to being challenged by how to get rope into shorter hair again ;) Will I be seeing you at ITW or Paradise? I can get ya in free for a day or 2 if you can't afford a ticket.

ITW totally snuck up on me. Not having arranged rides or anything, and it starting tomorrow, I think I'll be giving that a miss, unless there's a rideshare site somewhere I could inquire at. (Since the location is only given to registrants, I can't tell how far away it is, but I presume Inconvenient.) Le sigh.

Paradise, on the other hand, I definitely know someone who can give me a ride, and can swing a day pass or two. So yes, I'd love to call that a plan.
