After 2 yrs of having long hair (ok, well part of that was growing it out) I finally did it. I cut it!!! I enjoyed my time with long hair and the benefits of having long hair, but it was time for a change. So I decided to cut it real short. My sister-in-law, Jenny did it for me and she cut about 14 inches off of my hair!!! At first there was about 13 inches off, but then I changed my mind and wanted a slightly different style, so it got a little shorter.
Here I am with long hair as we're entering the Seattle area a few days before I chopped it.

Jenny braided it first so we could cut it off and have it neat in order to measure it.

That's a lot of hair!!! (and we cut off more after this measurement)

The first do. It was short in the back and long in the front with no layers, but I decided I wanted it a little shorter in the front with more layers around.

VOILA! Here's the finished product. Ah!!! It's so much shorter!! I like it, though. It's a nice change. Thanks Jenny!!

You look different but very good!
What were the reactions from your kids and Richard?
Soooo.... Does Richard still love you after that stunt.... hahaha. J/K Doesn't look bad though. You look a lot more like your sisters now. Especially that last one.
Oh my gosh I totally was not expecting that!! Wow! You look great! After seeing how much hair was cut off I was expecting your hair to be a lot shorter than it is. You make me want to have short hair again!
Way cute hair, Bets! I quite like it. And you still look like you're 12. Good job on that.
Wow! I love it! I wasn't expecting to like it because you looked so good with it long but it looks awesome!
Ok so i know that we havent talked forever! Thats why this is really weird i had a dream last night that you were in and you had cut your hair and it looked exactly like it does in your pic's isnt thet so weird!I think so.Because i had know idea that you had cut it.Ha well it looks really good and its a good change i cut mine right after i had Avarey.So i know how you feel. Love,Alli
I think it is really cute! Luv it!
k so i totally left you a comment days ago and now its not here so if you didn't get it then i'll tell you again... I love it! I think its super cute and now i want to cut mine again
i love it Betsy---and i actually think you look like a LOT older!! i haven't seen you in just a month or so and you're all grown up (JK)---for reals though I think it's a hott change! (I don't got the guts to cut mine--just decided not to-I change my mind every other week!) good for you!!
:) Thanks everyone. I'm happy to announce that after the trial period (the few days after the cut) I've tried doing it a few different ways and I still love it! Yea!
In response to the comments, Richard's reaction was to smile and tell me that I look sexy, my kids just looked at me differently for 2 seconds and that was all the reaction I got, and no Richard's love isn't conditional to my hair length. He'll always prefer long hair, but he still thinks I look good with short too. And thanks for all the compliments! It's nice to get reassurances like this when you do something drastic with your hair. ;)
Wowsers! Gorgeous Bets!
Wow what a talented hairdresser you've got. Although you would probably look good bald too:)
Wow What a change! You look great both ways - - luckeee. I like it!
