A New Year, A New Look: Part Two

A while back, I bought a daily deal (I subscribe to like 6 different sites - overkill? Quite possibly) for a haircut, partial highlight, and conditioning treatment at a swanky local salon. I decided to wait until after the new year to use it. See, when I go get my hair done, I always intend to just get a trim, but while I'm there, I end up agreeing to whatever the professional recommends. I have also only had highlights once in my life, and I was not a big fan. So I was looking forward to being pampered and getting a "new do"! I went in with the mindset of keeping my hair long since I've been wanting to grow it out. Well, here are the pictures....

I asked my mom to take a picture - we were at a fabric store!

Parted on the opposite side, shorter, subtle highlights....I love it! And I love that I can still wear it in a ponytail. And I love that the highlights are so subtle that it won't be obvious at all when it begins to grow out.
