One thing I have never understood is the reluctance that many women have to change their hairstyles. I resist many forms of change, but hair? Please. Change it. Color it. Cut it. I don’t care. If it doesn’t look great, cut it again. Hell, shave it entirely. I don’t care. It will grow back.<\/p>\n

I almost got the sides shaved off entirely…and still kind of wish I had. Oh well. Next time. <\/p>\n

There are only two rules:
\n1. It can’t look like a goat has been grazing on the back of my head.
\n2. No puppy ear flaps. <\/p>\n

Three rules:
\n3. Not too blonde. <\/p>\n

Today? Shorter. Bare necked. Lighter on the head. It’s good. <\/p>\n
