A hair-raising experience
Sun, 20 Nov 2011 5 Comments Back in mid July I had my hair cut, and found the photo below in a magazine a couple of minutes before my appointment.
My stylist opted to do a version of this and while it was an ok cut, I was disappointed that he didn't just do what was in the freaking photo. So I've been trying to grow the back and sides of my hair out so I can get this style. About every 2 weeks the shaved part really needs to be reshaved, so I have enlisted my husband on numerous occasions to do this for me with his shaver (he shaves his head regularly). Yesterday morning I asked him to shave the bottom of my hair as always, but this time bring the shaved line up a bit higher. After getting his help to clip up the hair to be left alone, he shaved the remainder of my head.
Ya, that was a little scary. But Jeff did a great job and it felt AWESOME. I need to go in soon and get a trim, and maybe have it thinned out a bit and made shorter around my ears. The back needs to be grown out a bit longer too for more of a "tail" look. Hubby took some photos of my melon for me.

Kim, I do this all the time. Mine isn't quite as long as yours on top but I just use the clippers to trim that as well...
Not many men dig such short hair but I love it!! How good does it feel... It's so much cooler in our Aussie summer!! Great job... :)
Thanks! This was maybe not the brightest idea considering winter just started here in Ottawa but I have lots of toques that I think we get plenty of use over the coming months.
I think it is awesome. Have you thought about going the same colour as the inspiration pic? cheers Katherine
Thanks Katherine! I would love to go bleach blonde/white like the photo but the maintenance would cost me a fortune (and my hair grows fast which doesn't help).
I like you more with hair on top (last photo). With shorter hair on the top you would look much younger. And the effect would be more visible.
