hair today, gone tomarrow..well, yesterday

I was restless last night, couldn't sleep, so I went to You Tube and looked up "How to cut a bob." I think it came out okay, the back is really nice. My face scared me though. Good thing I have good hair, the rest of me is shot.

I agree, you're so brave...it looks great!

Dirty Disher said...

I meant IT feels good. Jeez, I feel like warmed over poo.

WoW! Terrific cut. And you did that yourself?! OMG - you are totally fearless.
It's amazing - you did that for free, gave yourself a stylish bob and yet Kate G.'s horrible, skankalishish "Ho-Doo" cost $7K?!
Heh.

Looks GREAT! I love a good bob cut. You can still sweep it up for evening or stick it in a ponytail on, "those days" and look decent without a blow dryer and a ton of time.

I love the new hair! The style works so good on you! I can't believe how evenly you cut it. Impressive!

You still got it! :)

Christina said...

You did a great job! I've cut my own hair many times, but I always have my husband readjust or trim the back for me. You go girl!

Casper said...

You did good ... it looks great!

Is there anything you can't do?

lisa k. said...

Dirty Disher said...

LOL, no, I didn't even have a mirror, I just sat here watching old Bewitched reruns and "felt around." I just took my time and it came out okay.

Alison said...

It looks nice! How did you get the back straight by yourself??

Dirty Disher said...

What's crabbie got to do with it? He might blog it if I cut off my head.

Sole` said...

Very beautiful Pat. You did a great job.

Wow, I could never do that by myself. It looks great!

Maureen said...

Off topic, but has anyone ever noticed that you can really age overnight? I just noticed that I have an age spot on my hand. I don't think it was there yesterday. ugh! Turning 50 sucks! I saw a picture of myself 2 years ago, thought I looked pretty OK. I look so much older now. I'm pretty upset!

Maureen said...

Sorry about that rant. Pat your hair does look nice and it looks even, that is an accomplishment!

Beth said...

DD,
Looks great! Really professional!
Feel better....

Maureen, if you want to be grossed out, turn your hand upside down and hold it in front of you. I showed a friend that the other day and we were horrified. LOL. My hands have so many spots I could play the dots game.

Wow, good job. I want to see a whole pic. I get scared just trimming my bangs.


When I was little I had one of those hair bead string things in that you get done at a fair, it was actually made with my hair not just a clip on, I got sick of it one day and thought I could just cut it out but then I had this little clump of alfalfa hair sticking straight up in the middle of my head, right on my part, for MONTHS AND MONTHS. I tried everything to get it to lay down, gelled the hell out of it, but nothing worked.

Man did I get teased about that.

Unknown said...

wow dd great job. I love it. want to come up here in pa and work on my hair?

Dirty Disher said...

I haven't decided about bangs yet.

AM, you look like a doll without a new hairdo.

valle said...

I likey!I did the same thing in high school.I whacked it off with some old scissors we had. I did a pretty good job too. My mom almost shit when she came home from work that day .

Vicki said...

Pat, your hair looks amazing. Great job. You saved yourself a lot of $$$$ doing it yourself.
A Salon cut and style around would be at least 70.00 and up.
Impressive!!!

Dirty Disher said...

The back needs some layers. I'll ask a client who's a stylist to clean it up a little. But, it looks alright.

I would NEVER pose in profile. At least not till I get a neck-lift. You look fab. I hate my neck!!!

Biz, once I slept with gum, when I was 6. I am 52 now. I went to school the next day with PB in my hair & a clump cut out by my mom. I was in line for recess and a little boy said to me "You're ugly"...think that didn't mess with my head for a while? Then in 6th grade, dumbass me washed my hair with bar soap. I couldn't even get a brush thru it the next day. Instaed of washing it out I started chopping it up so I could go to school. Gawd, 6th grade. I cannot believe I did that. 6th graders now I think(hope) know better. I got made fun of again. I once wore my grandmas dark brown(like me)curly 70's wig to school once in 8th grade. Ok, did I never learn my hair lessons? NOooo!!! Got laughed at by teachers even. I was too dumb to know what was so funny. I laugh my ass off now about it. I guess I was just being an individual. :(

Me likey your new cut!!! Looks well done!

CJ said...

Great job, looks hot! Did you leave it long enough to pull back in a pony tail?

I've had a bob for years, best part about it ... you look the same if you let it grow out. Don't have to go through that ugly stage.

Brig said...

It looks great Pat! Better than Kate's and you didn't have to spend $7000.00! You are so talented.

Noelle said...

Great Job on the Bob. Now I want one. I'm going to have to grow out!

A-Gran said...

Pat, if I had your hair I'd grow it out and sell it. I donated my hair to locks of love once but learned later that they sell most of the hair they receive so forget them.

People pay the most for your platinum blond hair... if you were wondering. Ha!

Dirty Disher said...

The troll seems to have lost it's shit because I cut my hair. Jesus, get a life, Allie cow.

Anonymous said...

Good God...you did that yourself?? That's freakin' amazing!!

Anonymous said...

LOL Rox... I think all little girls "experiment" with their hair some. I know I did it more than once, several times before I was even 10 probably.

But the peanut butter? oh man..

When I was in highschool I put that sun in crap in my hair, but I didn't get exactly how to use it and I really wanted to pass it off as professionally done so I just dumped the whole damn bottle in my hair. Oh gosh, it was AWFUL. My hair was rusty yellow crappy against the remaining natural dark brown hair. And yet I still told people, except my closest friends, that I had paid to have it done. HA.

Bayou Jane said...

I don't have hair I can cut myself. I have very thick, wavy hair. Two giant waves in the front of my head. Your hair is gorgeous. So shiney and silky and smooth.! Lucky dog!!

Dirty Disher said...

Oh, gawd, never cut curly hair yourself! I had a cousin who tried that. Man, it looked like an afro.

Dirty Disher said...

I forgot, if you guys want your hair to grow, trim it on the new moon.

Anonymous said...

I love it!! Its so shiny and glamorous!

"WHERE YA FROM?. . .
YOU SEXY THANG,
(sexy thang, yew!)"

Your hair looks like silk!

And us cajun peeps know about
the new moon trick-- my grandmother
swore by it.

Nadine said...

AMAZING.... you cut it by yourself without a mirror.... omggggg if I took a scissor to my hair I'd look worse than Kate G. (don't want to sound bitchy... but I bet a layers would make it totally perfect...)

Faerie♥Kat said...

It looks beautiful! Hair like yours, so smooth and shiny, is what occasionally makes me want to rip out my naturally curly hair.

coffeebean said...

You did that yourself? Is there anything you can't do, that rocks!!! You have great hair, but the rest of you is certainly not shot.
