A new look

As a child I always wanted to grow my hair long. When I was younger, and finally allowed to grow out my hair, I would often end up cutting it because of tangles, damage or lice. Over the past few years, I grew my hair to the longest it has ever been (even managing to keep growing it after getting lice while traveling abroad in 2014).

I decided that when I eventually cut it, I would donate my hair to a cancer charity. I also decided I would auction off the rights to my hair style as a way to raise scholarship funds for MARKcentral. My staff partner Jamie “won” the rights, and gave creative control to the students who received the scholarships, and the results were as follows:

(Can’t find the “before” photo, but this was taken a few days before the cut)

And here is the after:

In September, the same students gave me a trim and more pronounced undercut:

I am really happy with the look and length! Its grown out quite a bit since then, but I enjoy rocking the “Asian bob” with modern flourishes. I’m grateful for my Knights who came over and did the cutting and styling. One of my favourite memories of the cut was having my roommate make a video of the process (which she’s posted on facebook).
