Hair: That stuff that's fun to change

How many hairstyles can a person have in such a short period of time? A lot. That is the biggest lesson I have learned over the past year. And now my hair is so short I can't change it anymore...well, unless I went bald, but I don't want that. Let's take a look at where I started:


Pretty long huh? Oh and that is my twin sister, Kamarie. Well, she isn't really my twin, but people mistake us for twins all the time! (I'm more than okay with that, too!) She is three years older and wiser than me. This was taken about a year ago. And then I chopped all that hair off...


Okay, you have to ignore the expression and awkward stance. We are looking at the hair here. Terrible picture but it gets the point across. Then I cut it again for senior pictures.


It doesn't seem like that big of a difference, but it really was. The back I was able to spike and give a lot more texture instead of looking all awkward like the first cut.
 I let it grow out a bit before I went to China.


Pretty nice, huh? This is my personal favorite. Oh, and that is my best friend of all time, Nicole. I went to Seattle to visit her last summer and as you can tell it was a huge party.


I got my hair cut in China after a few weeks of living there during the summer on an exchange. Telling them how I wanted it cut was extremely difficult--they don't teach cosmetic vocab in school! I eventually just told the guy to do whatever. He was really nice about it and was amazed at blonde hair! And that is my host sister with me at her house on the last day there. She was so cute!


When I got home from China, I decided it was time for something new. I cut it again and added some red!

 
Then I colored it purple for one day for a Shakspeare performance. I was Hermia and Maddie (she always has awesome hair, as well) was Helena.


I proceeded to grow out my hair and make it really big! Perfect for homecoming! That is my boyfriend, Dallin Perez. His hair is pretty good too, I guess ;)


I had to get a bob for the musical I was in. This hairsyle was NOT my choice at all. I was Millie in Thoroughly Modern Millie and unfortunately, I couldn't wear a wig. This picture was taken at Disney World when I went with my theatre class. And that is Brittany Shaffer. She was Miss Dorothy in the musical and I love love love performing with her!


And now it's dark brown!! Still a bob, but very dark. This was taken during one of the performances of Millie.


Right when the show was over, I chopped it all off! I hated that bob! It was awful. And there really was only one style I could get out of that. A pixie cut. (This was at senior prom with Dallin. We got to borrow our seminary teacher's Camaro...)


And this is how my hair is now! I'm growing it out and going light so I can start all over! Yay!
