Ummm… I cut off all my hair!
So,
I am assuming there are a few of you who are wanting to murder me at this precise moment… Now, deep breaths, it will grow back at some point. And I think it is pretty darn cute.
For three years I have been wanting to cut my hair. It’s been long for about 15 bloody years. If I had not been working on a television series I would have cut it a while ago. I suppose this is kind of an expression of freedom, haha. Us gals tend to have so much tied up in hair. There is like this emotional attachment to it, and it is apparently a REALLY big deal to cut it all off…in one go. I had a plethora or offers to come with, to document, and I just went in there on my own and Sarah (she is the key hairstylist on Smallville, and is freakin rad) tied it in a ponytail and sawed the sucker off…
And now I have short hair. It feels really different. My head feels different. Washing my hair this morning was by far the strangest experience I have had in a while… Like, there is no hair there. And there was before. And now there isn’t. Really weird. And yoga was fun with no hair. And I can feel the wind rush through, and the sun hit the nape of my neck, and my head feels LIGHT. I am experiencing the world in a new way. Really that is how I feel about this new phase in my life.
Apart from my family, Smallville is the longest relationship I have been in. 7+ years. And it has now pretty much ended. The decisions I am making now are a reflection of where I am in my 20’s. GBD is my primary commitment at this point, as well as my relationships. I have got to admit that it is really strange to not walk into that studio every week. But, there is a whole world of new shizznat that I now have the opportunity to choose. I can grab the proverbial hair goo of life and play… I told you all last week. I am sappy.
Love,
Kristin
p.s. I have never used hair goo until now. I actually need to style my hair now. Oh, the possibilities….

July 28, 2008The new haircut looks very nice and stylish!
it’s amazing how much we really do concern ourselves with out hair. My hair was very long when I was a kid and I got it all chopped off when I was 5. It’s been short ever since, but not as short as I’d like it to be. It’s now down to my shoulders and I miss it being so very very short. I totally get your point about washing your hair and feeling the wind rush through it. Nice feelings… Now it just hangs there like a dead cat and I hate it, but because I tend to look like a boy when my hair is really short (people have been making the mistake several times in the past) I haven’t cut it for sometime. Also, I’m job hunting and I don’t think potential employers look for girls with shaved heads… Not that I’d shave it all off, but close. I miss short hair. So enjoy it, I guess is my point. You look gorgeous in any hair style! That is all.
