New Place, New Life, New Hair

This is my old hair, preserved in a photo for all to see.

I figured that since I was doing a whole new life thing, I should have a new haircut to go along with it. It took me a whole week and a half to do it; it's amazing how many things come up last minute in this country.

The following is the picture I gave the stylist.


I really liked the bangs, but this cut seemed a little young. I wanted a little more texture at the bottom and I wanted it a bit shorter.











I wanted this kind of uneven texture at the bottom, but this girl's hair looked a little thin.








So I asked for this kind of fullness. Since the bottoms of my hair curl, I needed a haircut that could work with that. I didn't want something that went against my hair, but with it.






He nodded, told me he "understood," and started to cut. I was wearing my glasses, so there were times when I had to take them off so that he could work. I was a little nervous because he was cutting my hair dry, which most hairstylists never do when they work with my hair (it's very very thick).

I was feeling a little distraught because I just got rejected from yet another job because of my Asian appearance, so I really wanted to drastically change my hair. I wanted to look different from all the other long-haired Vietnamese girls.

So this is what I got:

It's a little different. What do you think?
