Pretty soon, it will be a wig.
The night before my birthday, I did something drastic. I was bored, and Ryan was working on an assignment, and I found a pair of scissors and reverted back to my five-year-old self. And cut my bangs.
It wasn't until after I got started that I realized how hard it is to see what you're cutting when you've got bangs in the way. But I persevered, cut myself some blunt bangs, and ran downstairs to show Ryan. He approved. But then we got to thinking. Which lead to something even more drastic.
I was going to post a picture the night I did it, but then I realized that we would be going to see Ryan's fam for Thanksgiving, and I wanted it to be a surprise. They approved. Then when I got back I was going to post a picture, but then I realized that I would be going to see MY family the day after Christmas, and I wanted it to be a surprise.
But, like with most surprises, I just can't wait any longer.
SURPRISE!!
Some of you may wonder why I did it. Well...
- The week prior, I found a piece of rice in my hair. It was 3:00 in the afternoon. How long had it been there? Had I even eaten rice for lunch that day?
- In this same week, I found a split end that split off into 7 new split ends, some of which split off into additional split ends. Some people spend quiet moments trying to find a split end to cut off. I spent mine trying to find an end that wasn't split.
- Who wants to spend 20 minutes in the shower devoted solely to lathering, rinsing, and repeating? I just don't have that kind of time right now, people.
- I shed. The longer the hair, the bigger the mess.
- And, yes, of course: Think of the children. I only hope that once it's in wig form, my real hair will look a little more real than it did in first grade.

I LOVE it! You look great. The bangs are super fun. I am way too scared to do anything that drastic, but you definitely can pull it off. Plus there's nothing cooler than donating your hair. Seriously if I was bald (and maybe a little less white) I would SO buy your hair in wig form. I'm glad you like the new do too.
I LOVE it Lisa! You really pull off that look. Congrats to you. That's a big, risky step but you look amazing! And some cute little girl will have long, glossy black hair!
Super CUTE!!! I'm itchin for a cute cut now... Did you donate your locks?
It looks cute ... and it's not even springtime! Remember when I used to talk you girls into haircuts every spring before it got hot? Now you look like a real Tingey woman (w/ short dark hair)! Surprises are overrated anyway ... love it & see you soon!
OH MY GOSH--You look so great!! That is a perfect cut for you! Way to be adventurous!
How brave of you! Your haircut looks great! I bet you lost a few pounds too. I did the same thing when Hyrum was 6 months old and he cried for a few hours after I got home and was holding him because he didn't recognize me.
Love the bangs - very chic!
Sooo cute! When you failed to post a picture, I was worried it went horribly bad. It looks great though! Can't wait to see it in person!
Gorgeous! Isn't short hair so much fun? You look great, Lisa. As always :)
I hope we can find some time to meet up in Houston!!
Ok. First of all, it looks awesome. I LOVE it.
BUT.
Did you cut your hair yourself??!?! I am freaking out here. How did you do that? Or did you just get it started and then go to a pro? If you did it yourself, I am seriously flabbergasted.
Cute!!
I will never forget finding one of your hairs in my pants... while I was wearing them...
haha--thank you! I've got the best friends.
To answer a few questions, yes, I donated it; no, I didn't do it myself (I may be impulsive, but I'm not crazy); and yes, short hair really IS fun!
