How To: Cut Your Own Hair

I recently decided to go from dark to platinum, and being the impatient fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kinda gal that I am, I did it myself. Do you know how many times I've done this? And ended up looking like Ronald McDonald? Too many times to count and too many times NOT to have learned a lesson from it. I'm awesome. I tried to Hayley Williams it, but hers was professionally done and mine so obviously was not. 
(bah!)

Anyways, I bleached/toned the crap out of it and fried my ends, so I needed a haircut. I like to save my pennies, so I tried out this method. Here goes:


Most important: Make sure you take a really pretty picture, like this one:
(no alcohol was consumed, surprisingly)


I washed and straightened my hair so I could get the most even cut possible. 


Here it is, in all of it's fried glory.


-Part hair down the middle and tie one side off. 
-Brush through other side until smooth, then tilt head back and adjust the hair so the ends are even.
-Hold between middle and index finger so the hair doesn't move.
-Snip off your desired amount off.





Repeat on opposite side!

Ta Da!

From this to that

This is my daily diddy. (That word is already getting annoying) The one below is a pen sketch I did while I was

bored. And then I thought, "that would make a pretty cool
oil painting." And it became the piece on the right. I have to say, that this is one of my favorite paintings I've done. After I was done painting it, I thought, "why the snail?" well...I like animals and little creatures. And I've been told that the girl looks like me. Its interesting, because most of my work has a meaning behind it, but I don't quite know what it is until I'm done and I have a chance to really look at it and analyze it. I believe that this painting is a representation of me, staring procrastination (snails=slow/lazy) in the face. which I felt I had been doing for a long time. I hadn't done anything artistic for awhile, and so this is me finally accepting that I was being a lazy bum and I needed to get to work. TA DA! I know...its so deep you can hardly wrap your brain around it.
