The evolution of a haircut

Anybody who knows me knows that I am hardly ever happy with my haircut. Since high school, I was on the hunt for someone who could do my hair the way I wanted it done. The thing I’ve come to learn is that while finding the right hairstylist is a large part of the equation, my indecisiveness is larger. I have come to terms with this.
2 years ago, I came across our amazing hair lady from a friend in school. She listened and did my hair the way I wanted it done and what do you know? I actually liked my haircut. That wasn’t long-lived since I get antsy with my hair. I don’t think I’ve had the same haircut ever. Even when it is long I will get bangs, grow them out, add some highlights, and eventually chop it all of. When I think I have a perfect haircut, and go back to get a trim 2 months later, the trim will have just been all wrong. I will then find a new haircut. This is exactly the scenario going on now.

I grew my hair out for my wedding. The minute the wedding was over, I wanted it gone. I have always known I am not meant to have long hair. Short hair suits me. I wanted Tori Spelling’s haircut. A cute bob. I got the bob, but was too chicken to have her cut it shorter than her original cut. This resulted in a way too-long bob that was kind of an A-line.

Next cut, I was frustrated and gave her permission to chop it all of to her liking. Bless my hair lady’s soul. She loves short haircuts and got so excited. She then gave me a Victoria beckham-like haircut, which was surprisingly fitting for me. The reviews from the husband and friends were fabulous. But could I be happy? No! The back of it was too “boyish.”

Cut #3, just grow out the back and give me an A-line. Now, I must say this does work for the time being. But it’s too long! I feel as if the “trim” wasn’t trim enough.

Present time. While watching Oprah, when she was at Tom Cruise’s house, I saw Katie Holmes and instantly fell in love with her hair. It’s been weeks and I think I am obsessed. I’ve looked up photos of her, asked everyone what they’d think, etc. When scheduling my hair appointment today I had to exercise self-control to not say “I want Katie Holmes’ haircut!” So in two days, it’ll be another big hair change and I know I will love it. But with my history, lord only knows what reason I will come up with to hate it somehow. Hopefully none!
