Difference?

The left pic was taken on 1 Jan 08 & the right was taken on 9 Feb 08.

Notice any thing that's unusually different between these 2 pix?

Yep! My hair! It's grown 12cm long in 5 weeks.

Ok, I've actually gone for hair extension a week before CNY. :)

When it's first done up, my new hair was much longer... below my waist. The amazing part was I didn't redo my hair color... the extension just match mine perfectly. Not a single one discovered it's not my own hair.

The following day I went for a trim so my own hair could blend in better. I requested to shorten the length a lil but the stylist refused to do it as she thought it's a waste to cut too much of the extended hair. I didn't insist as I somewhat agreed. However, early next morning when I looked in the mirror (even before I brushed my teeth!), I was convinced I wanted it shorter... perhaps by 1 or 2 cm as the ends seemed a bit wispy.

The silly me decided to take it into my own hands since no one's willing to cut for me. And yes, I wasn't spared from the most typical disaster of cutting own's hair. I should have known it, right? First, the left was shorter than the right. Then the right was shorter than the left, & this went on several times. So you imagine what's happened to my hair :( The intended 2cm had become 5 - 6cm... As I was cutting my hair, I was also cutting my money... Sobz~ And the worse was, it didn't turn out right. I nearly couldn't leave home with this 'work' of mine. Hubby was so sweet to console me instead of chiding or laughing at me. Would have left lousy for the entire day if without his reassuring words.

During lunch that day, I went back to where I did my extension to seek help. The girl could only do simple trimming but it's useful enough. At least she managed to soften my blunt ends. So, I got myself busy with my hair for 2 days.

I wonder why I always make boo boos with the things I do. Bleah...

So this was my waist-length hair before the trims
