New hair

I got a new haircut! I've been doing the part-in-the-middle, straight hair thing since I was 14, so I decided it was time for a change. It didn't turn out exactly as I imagined, mainly because I don't have the type of hair that would work best with the cut I was thinking about, but I think it's alright. I should have taken a photo yesterday after I left the salon, because today it doesn't look as good. How is it that you can never blow dry your hair as good as your stylist, no matter how slow and meticulous you are?

Anyway, my webcam can't seem to get a very good image because my hair is so dark, but it's parted towards the side now, I have long choppy bangs that are brushed to the side, and there are some subtle layers. I also had it died a couple shades darker than normal.

The best part of this haircut is that I can't just tie it back in a pony tail as easily, because of the bangs and layers. That was an objective, because I want to start having my hair look a little nicer than tied back all the time. Plus, I think it makes me look a little more my age. (Which is 25 in two weeks and one day!)
