it's just hair....right?

for as long as I can remember, I have had longish hair. I have been between blonde and brown and a few times a bit ashy grey and even a terrible purple. I have been through many colorists and hair stylists.

in new York, I had one girl for 5 years and even flew up to see her before my wedding.

so, it's always been just a part of me.

plus, I haven't been able to change it since I started modeling at 14. IF I wanted to change my hair, I would have to run it by the agency and then, I would have to re-do my whole book that clients see and that would be $$$!

 

I went to see my agency last wednesday and I walked in, caught up with everyone and heard the words : brooke, honey, I think it is time to cut your hair.

say what?!?!?

"it is time to look your age."

SAY WHAT???!!!

hey, I get it. this isn't new York. I am a mommy. I am in a category now that is older and need to look more "mommyish"

 

so, I made an appointment.

once I had the idea in my head, my hair started getting on my last nerve. I wanted it gone. but I was still scared because it is kinda like a comfort blanket. that may sounds dumb, but it is true! I haven't seen myself with short hair since I chopped it before my freshman year of college, dyed it brown and gained 50 pounds (not really, but it looked like it)! so, the image of myself was NOT great...

but I kept telling myself a change is going to be good.

so, here are the stupid selfies I sent to jack who is away for work in AZ.
I can't stand a selfie. but this is the only pic I have of my haircut!

here is to "looking my age"!! blech.
