Me, Myself & I

Most of you know that I celebrated my five year loc'versary by getting my locks layered.  I wasn't really nervous about it, but the end result did take some getting used to.  Above, three looks:  Braidout, Caruso Steam Roller Set, Soft Spike Curler set.

The Pros of the layered cut:

• My head feels much lighter.  Although Sisterlocks don't pull, I did have a lot of density which was very hot in the summer and took additional washing and drying time.
• The cut is a little more age appropriate for a 50 year old woman
• I wear my hair down more often
• The bangs and layers keep the hair from falling into my face
• My high pony's fall perfectly, rather than being weighed down

The Cons of the layered cut:

I kind of miss my "signature" density

I had to learn new ways to style my hair

Pulling hair back can be a challenge because of the bangs and layers

The cut did away with my highlighted ends causing my hair to look darker.

Overall, I'm happy with the cut and bangs.  Now I have another 5 years to let them grow back!
