when your hair is this big, you blog about getting it cut
I got my hair cut today. And it was kind of a big deal. I ended up with three braids, each about a foot long or more, which I will donate. I was going to leave them at the salon for them to donate, but when I saw them, I realized I really, really wanted to photograph them.
I don’t know, it felt kind of significant… I’d gone into the appointment feeling like my hair was a burden I needed to rid myself of. I felt like I’d been hiding behind it for too long. But once it was cut I was all nostalgic, thinking about how long those strands had been attached to me, and what had gone into growing them. But whatever. My head is lighter and my neck is cooler. Yay!

Kate – you look gorgeous! And some lucky person will get a beautiful head of red hair from your donation! Enjoy the freedom that comes from removing a veil.

I have been meaning to write about your pictures, Capetown, the derby girls and everything before and after. They are moving pictures with each full of stores. You are talented.
Talented and now cooler than ever. Shorter hair is liberating and the new do perfect timing with summer weather. You and your hair look cool.

WOW!! I love the haircut. I always let my hair grow out between cuts (because I’m lazy) and I love the feeling of freedom that comes once it gets cut again. I can only imagine how much lighter you feel!
