Today I went to the hairdressers, instead of the usual root re-touch and trim I decided it was about time for a change.Bye, bye long blonde locks (above) and hello sleek, sophisticated bob.
Sorry for lack of make-up but I hadn't done it since 9am and it had been a long day!
I've been growing my hair for the last 5 years and had nearly got it to reach half way down my back at it's longest points.Recently it had been getting a little straggly at the ends and it didn't look as healthy as I'd like thanks to all the colour treatments and it's subjection to heating appliances.
Strangely I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be watching my hair fall to the ground, I had about 7-8 inches off the back in total.
I love it! It's really nice to have a change and liberating not having so much hair to look after but I'm definately going to miss my hair bouncing against my back and catching glimses of it in shop windows reflection.My hair was my security, it made me feel safe, feminine and pretty. I'm a little self conscious about today's chop but I think in a few days I'll get used to my new style. Hey, and if I don't there's always extensions.
What do you think?

I love it!
It looks really sleek and sophisticated!
I'm growing mine but the ends are so straggly. I have a feeling I won't manage to grow it past a certain length! :(

It looks great and you are BRAVE it's so hard to cut hair lol
<3
oooo lovely it really suits you :)
I LOVE it!
It's so sleek, sophisticated AND totally feminine!!
I think you could probably go shorter again but then that would be brave but i could see it really suiting.
You look great! xx
You look great, really chic and polished! I've been meaning to go to the hairdresser's for ages and like you I feel it's time for a change! I think hair needs to regenerate in the colder months especially after being in the sun/sea, so definitely a really good decision! xx
It looks lovely! x
It looks stunning! It really suits you!
Melissa,
xx.
Love it, looks great on you.
You are a brave girl, maybe I shoul do the same.

Love love love!!! Definately a fab choice :o) x
Wow, you're braver than me but it really suits you and you still look feminine and pretty x

Thats not too short at all, I was slightly panicked you were going to do a Gywneth Paltrow from Sliding Doors :)
Looks so sleek and healthy, love it xxx
That hair cut really suits. I love your top by the way, wheres it from? xx
Its really nice, really suits you :)
So So Gorgeous!
I've been considering chopping for a while too! And for the same reasons you feel self concious I have put it off, and off.
But I can whole heartedly say I think this is a gorgeous change for you!
Chamone! xx
It looks gorgeous Holly! Its so shiny and healthy looking, and i bet it will look so cute curled at that length too! :) xxx
I love it!!
as the girlies said it suites you
(:
gorgeous! you've made me want to go get the chop now! Your hair looks so glossy and healthy xxx
Love it!!! Mines half way down my back now, i have mine cut every 6 weeks though so never get any straggly bits/dead or split ends so i'm quite lucky really. It really suits you, looks more healthy too :) x
I really love it sex kitten hair :)
I hope your ok,
xx
Sorry forgot to add in my last post but where do you get your jumper from? Looks lovely x
Oh you are so brave and I envy you!!! I would love to cut my hair but it's defin. a security blanket for me too :) But wow you look so sleek and glam- just gorgeous!!!
@Saskia - thanks, hmm maybe if I'm feeling braver next time I go, I think I'll have to do it little by littlexxx

@ReeRee - thank you mofo!! chamonexxx
@Love at first bite - I can't wait to try conical wanding and curling itxx
@Sadie - River Island, jumper dress!xx
That's gorgeous, you can see how much sleeker and better condition it's in now. Really suits you - bravo for your bravery! I had most of my mid-back length hair chopped off a couple of months ago, wish I'd done it sooner! Took me nearly 11 years *gulp*
Your new haircut/style incredibly suits you! Excellent!
It really suits your face, I love it! x
LOVE IT!
It looks gorgeous, so much healthier and the length really frames your face. It looks lovely sleek and straight but would look cool wavy and messed up too. It'll be so much easier to manage, I had my hair cut last year from my belly button right up to above my shoulders and the time I saved washing and styling it was amazing! My head felt so much lighter too, you don't realise how heavy long hair is til you get it all cut off!
x x
I love it! so pretty :)
Love it - it really suits you and makes your hair look lovely and thick and healthy.
It´s really beautiful! Kind of wish I had the courage to do the same!
It looks lovely, really suits you! x
It looks great, really suits you :)
i really love this! xx
I LOVE the new haircut! You look great with both long and/or shorter hair. It's fresh and sophisticated, very flirty and feminine.
LOVE the new haircut! It's fresh, sexy and sophisticated.
It looks really great! I think it even looks better than your long hair, and the hair definitly looks a lot healthier now =)
Really pretty.
Awh that looks lovely! I am debating getting the chop to get out my layers! =) x
Wow Holly, I LOVE it. I actually think shorter hair suits you better, it provides great frame for your face :) Love it! xxx
I think it looks fab. I wish I could get to the hairdresser. I never seem to get round to it though. If I went I would probably take your photo with me and ask for that style. It's LOVELY
xoxox
Your hair looks stunning! Love it, really suits you!

This looks so sleek and refreshing on you..and it looks super-healthy! What did your little one think of it?
I LOVE!!!!! So chic hon! It suits you sooo welll!!!!
i like the bob...but i must admit..u look prettier in both looks.
i LOVE your hair! it looks so sophisticated!...my best friend recently had it done too, and it has made such a difference... it looks so current and sleek!
I do understand what you mean about it being your security, my hair is definately my security and sadly i dont think i would ever have the guts to do it, even though it looks so good!

It looks amazing - so healthy and pretty!
As much as I love long hair, I think a cut like this is more versatile and much better for a professional environment!!
Wow, great cut and colour :)
Emma :)
