In a couple days, Locks of Love will be receiving 10 inches of thick, super dark hair...compliments of Miss Raquel. :)
Yup, that's right! Today, I got my hair cut! I was kind of scared...I haven't had my hair short and styled for...years now! But, Mother took me to a SUPERB hair dresser (Mr. Don Dutro 'Edward Wadsworth Hair Salon' in Beaverton, OR) and I just told him how short I wanted it, that I wanted it styled but still long enough to play around with, etc...and he did exactly that and did such a FUN hair style on me!! :) I'm really liking it - especially for summer! My hair gets so heavy and hot, and I'm tired of just having it in a bun. :( I wish I had more time to do really fun stuff with it, but I don't. :( Living on a farm, being the oldest daughter in a growing family, only able to dress quickly and dab a little makeup on (when we're getting ready to go somewhere), etc., etc. just doesn't allow me time to do a lot with it. I can French Braid pretty quick, half-up looks okay on me, ponytails - I'm tired of! (on me...not on other people :), but...anyway...any other girl out there, from a big family can relate! :)
Anyway, my Mother took pictures of the whole hair cutting process, and so I've decided to share them here with you. :) Enjoy!
When I first got there...
Telling him what I would like him to do with my hair...
BEFORE
Sectioning it off...and letting him know how short. He started snipping here :)
Wow! This is one of my ponytails! :D
'Here's another one, Raquel.'
One last snip...and then...
Off to get a hair wash...and head massage...Ahhhh!
Rinsing my hair...
Hair's all nice and clean!! (Not that it wasn't before :)
(He actually hair blow dried my hair, but Mother didn't get any pics of that step...whoops!)
Snip-snip!

Awww... it's ADORABLE, Raquel!!! I *love* it. And I know what you mean about ponytails. I think they look great on other people, but I don't like them on me. I think shorter ponytails (like your new cut) are really cute, but since my hair is so long, I feel like they make me look younger than I am. I'm really hoping I'll be able to get my hair cut soon. I'll have to post pictures when/if I do, because I really enjoyed looking at yours. Thanks for sharing!! :)

Wow! You look gorgeous!
I donated my hair to Locks of Love about 2 years ago, and when I did that I got my hair cut really short, in a bob. I don't think it looked very good on me, but I'd like to donate my hair again and I think I might get something like yours. =) It looks really nice!
Oh my word, how CUTE!!! :-D <3 Love it!!!!

My little sister got her hair cut and donated it a couple weeks ago. I like mine long... I cut it when I was 8 or so (6 years ago), and have been growing it ever since :) I usually just wear it straight, since it's hard even for me to find time to do it up any way, even though there are only 3 kids in my family :)

That style looks really great on you, Raquel, so much more grown up looking! :)
wow it's sooo pretty! I think I'm getting my haircut soon and I can't wait! My hair is only shoulder length though :) your hair is soooo beautiful!!
So cute!!!! I just did almost the same thing to my hair about a week ago and sent it to Locks of Love. It feels SO much better!! Enjoy it!! You are beautiful! :)

Your new hair style is so cute! I love it! It will be so much fun to style and do stuff with now that it is shorter and easier to mess around with. :)

I love your new hairstyle, Raquel! Great for the summer too. I totally understand what you mean about ponytails --they get pretty boring. :-O

You know what's funny?
I was just looking at your picture on Simple Delights and my sister commented to me about how pretty and long your hair was. Then when I went on your blog, and saw your most resent picture I was thinking "she's got short hair now"?
I know what you mean about long hair being so heavy and hot. I think you looked so nice with long hair but it'll grow again :)
