Gimme my sweet hairdresser: Post Wedding Chop

It was time to cut my hair. It was time in July, August, and September, but I kept the length for the wedding. So it grew and grew and lay boringly on my head for months. Well not anymore! A few weeks after the wedding I visited my favorite stylist at Walter Claudio Salon in downtown SB and got a chop. Not really sure how many inches I lost, but it does feel quite liberating and so light. A fresh start to married life :) Here are the before and after via BB photo.

Before. Too long, easy to maintain and effortless but flat.


Post cut :) Yay! Lost about 5 inches.


My head feels light. I must now hairdry/circle brush it or use the hair straightener to help the ends "flip in" but I'm oh so happy :)

Will you be doing a post wedding chop? Or do you like your hair long and flowy?

As you can see from the engagement photos last month, I did a pre-wedding chop. I have hair ADD so we'll see what happens in the spring.

Cute new 'do!! I love it! I chopped my hair after the wedding, too. I also got bangs. It's so freeing after months of long bridal hair.
