The elephant in the room
Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at 9:38AM I've had this drastic hair cut for two weeks now and I feel guilty not telling you about it sooner. It's just that for a few days I didn't know how to feel about it. When I left the salon I was squealing in delight. When I woke up the next morning I was all "What the fck did I do to myself?" But now I am super happy about my new look.
Given that my hair is wavy, frizzy, and my face is wide and chubby, only a master hair cutter can make my bob look this good. Oh and a blow drier along with some awesome hair products! Anyway I will write a separate post about my salon experience, but I'll tell you now that this hair cut is worth P6,500. Well, P7,500 including the dye job. I didn't pay for it although when my hair is long again, I have half a mind to go back to that salon!
So why did I do it? Well my hair has become extremely thin on top, so it was getting embarrassing to see my scalp spread out like a bombshell diva on photos. I would even tell photographers NOT to use photos where my scalp is showing, that's how bad it was! Thus, it was time to lessen the hair fall and increase volume on top. The best way to do it is let my long curly hair go.
I had a rough time coping with my new hair in the beginning, but when I got used to it I realized I look good in it. People were complimenting me and well, who doesn't like compliments? I love that I now have more options to style my hair. I want a messy Marion Cotillard curl, defined waves, maybe a pouf on top or slicked back for glamorous evenings - the list is endless!

So there! Expect more posts on hair in the near future. I will finally review my Vidal Sassoon hair blower, that's for sure. :P Oh and did you know Watsons has these awesome P99 barrel brushes?

HI liz! i also just had a haircut! I feel bad about it now; i had it yesterday though but let's just roll with it! Still let's feel pretty and confident with our new hairdo! :) i posted a pic over twitter.
Yours is too nice! You look super fab ;)) it's nice naman to have/wear something new di ba?
The haircut is worth 6500? For serious? Is this Juro Salon? Maaaan, expensive!
It looks great. I've come to the conclusion that long hair is overrated. Can't wait to get mine chopped again.
your new hair suits you. you look much younger!
ms.liz all i can say is that short hair looks really good on you. so fabulous. i also chopped my long hair back in february. i had it so short, shortest i ever had in my life and they said that it suit me. however my hubby prefer long haired girl so had no choice but to keep it longer though i want to make it short again. anyway enough of me. looking forward to your hair posts as like u i have wavy hair. take care and more power. :)
The do suits you, Ms. Liz! So fun and flirty and refreshing :)
You look so fresh and young. I love this look on you Liz :) though I gotta say 6500 for a haircut?? That's expensively cray cray!
Wow, gutsy! What a refreshing change for you! Well I guess its true that you'll never know what looks good on you until you've tried it right? :">
Maybe you can try shampoos with aloe and coconut oil/milk or gugo to strengthen your hair and make them appear thicker too :)
you look younger sa hair mo liz! :) I super duper loooove it. I wish I could get that kind of hairstyle too. :(
I want short hair, I have a round face, and I have curly hair too! If only my hair was less curly and more wavy, like yours, I'd have that haircut too. P6500? Definitely expensive, but the end result is great hair, so it's worth it. Curly hair is not that easy to shape, unlike straight hair, so you really need experts to handle it.
great haircut. really looks good on you. i know there was an issue about you getting tired of people saying that you look mature for your age, but lemme just say that your hairdo really made you look young. do not take that into offense, its just very refreshing for me to see you like that. keep it up!
Man oh man 6500 for a haircut, thats too much. I wouldnt even pay for 500 for a freakin haircut. Here in our province its just 100-500. But ours is just, wow. Havent thought a salon could charge that much. But reallllly u look good, promise!!
I have naturally curly hair, too. And while my stylist keeps my hair in great shape (long layers), I've been sporting this style since 2010 and I'm getting bored. Lately I've been wanting to cut it short, and was actually thinking about getting it done in South Salon but the difference of their rates from my current stylist's is a looooot. As in, 80 Php vs. at least 500 Php. And now here you are, getting an awesome cut for 6,500 Php! Waaaaaay over what I'm prepared to shell out, but I'm seriously thinking about it! But I do want something wash and wear lang, I don't have time to blow dry it everyday.
Do you think this salon can give an awesome wash-and-wear hair cut?
I felt the same too when I got a haircut, my first in 5 years, and decided on a short bob. I was like "WHY?!" But I did get used to it. Uh, I think I'm keeping my hair long, though. Hahaha! It fits me better. But, absolutely good on you for trying short hair.
OMG!! I love your new hair cut!!:) Super bagay!! Love it!:)
This!! This!!
i dont know if i can speak in behalf of everyone who thought you look older for your age, but haircut talaga was what you needed. pero don't mind nalang (pero if we were super close, I'd really nag you about it but since reader lang ako, don't mind me nalang. hehehe).
and hallelujah!! finally! you got your hair chopped.
finally finally finally!!
nakakatuwa naman.
pero damn 6500? parang no-go ako jan (if we were super close, I'd stop you from shelling out that much)
But but but at least you finally chopped those locks!
So Fresh!
That's a really expensive haircut! But you look soooo beautiful with short hair! I usually look like my dad when I cut my hair short :P I can't wait for posts regarding styling and products. :D
Your new hair looks ahh-mazing on you Ms. Liz! :) First 2 words that come to mind is Fun & Flirty! :) Lovin' how the waves hug your face! :)
Just wow! Even though you really think your face is "wide and chubby," it actually looks more streamlined with your new cut! I think it brings more attention to your eyes... maybe it's the way your stylist cut the layers. Gorgeous ;)
You look so much younger, and quite blooming. It's not easy to pull off short curly hair. They did a great job!
I sooooo love your new look, Liz!! Very refreshing! It suits you, really! :)
Ang pretty naman! I like this hairstyle better than the long one, you looked younger :)
You look really, really lovely Ms. Liz. I wish I had the same wavy hair that you have so I can pull off a haircut like this. I do agree with you that you can style it in so many ways. :)
omg you look gorgeous, Liz! :) Not a lot of people can pull of that kind of look. How do you maintain that volume days after the salon? When I get shorter hair, it always looks great right after the haircut. But after a couple of days, it looks blah because I don't know how to maintain it :-/ That's why I haven't had shoulder length hair for ages hahaha Hope you could do a How-To post someday :D
