Remember I promised you to show you my new haircut? And I always keep my promises… Just with one month and a half of delay (you all know why by now) but it’s OK, right?
This was kinda epic, because cutting my hair after something like 9 years of super duper long lengths was really a big deal. But I was very happy that I did it… It happened in a very happy moment of my life (quite ironic, since it was just a few days before the “bomb” exploded) and I wanted to do something for myself.
I managed to lose all that weight (even a little bit more right now actually) and I was feeling good with myself so I wanted to mark this “good” moment somehow.
I was a bit scared because I loved my hair, but seriously, I feel so changed in such a positive way that I will never go back! (and actually tomorrow I’m going to fix the cut again ;-) )
So here is the full process (The Red Dot has never seen such an ego trip before, I’ll get really mad if you tell me again I never show you pics of me! :D)
A day before the cut, I decided to say goodbye to my hair with a pic. How romantic of me to do it in an H&M fitting room…
A second goodbyeeeee…. Now a few second before the thrilling ZAC! of the scissors
There she goes!! Panic!
OMG!!!!
I do believe that my hairdresser, apart being incredibly cool, is an artist of the scissors. Do you get what I mean? See her style?
They’re gone!! Brushing started!
Et voilà!!
Like them? I LOVE them big time. I don’t think I’ll go back very soon to long hair… Probably never?
Oh and look what she has in her salon!
Cool uh?! It feels kinda weird to see them hanging on a wall!
Big kisses!
Al
PS: the first pic is my first attempt with self-portrait! I did it in my parents’ bedroom using a very old mirror because I really liked the light and the blurry feel. This below is another one (please ignore the pseudo-sexy-wannabe pose, in that moment I wasn’t myself, I was the subject for my camera! Maybe I should try to do some more of them…)
Il primo taglio corto (in età ‘adulta’, io da piccola ho sempre avuto un caschetto corto, grazie mamma) non si scorda mai :D
ahahah verissimo! Anche io da piccola e adolescente li ho portati spessissimo così! xx
OMG i’ve been dying for to see this post, because it was such a big step i remember all those should I shouldn’t I moments over on FB, i remember following your success at your diet and resulting weight loss and that promise to get your hair chopped off if you did (i’ve somehow made that sound like a charity fundraising event). Of course your personal circumstances changed and it was quite rightly delayed but now its here i can’t help but feel all happy to see it :D
Ok ok so i was about give you a dressing down after reading “So here is the full process (The Red Dot has never seen such an ego trip before, I’ll get really mad if you tell me again I never show you pics of me! :D)” only for the next photo to feature your face cut off by a mirror that clearly wanted to be center of attention. This was then followed by you hiding behind your camera in a couple and i was like SHE LIED, i feel cheated i demand a refund this instant!!! Alas however we were treated to the photos of you with that face hugging camera firmly away (yes i forgot the one at the top). So yeah i am going to say it, you look sensational the cut is simply beautiful and suits you so well. I absolutely adore the self portraits that soft flaring light and that pose despite what you say is just lovely, but hey i could write more lines of compliments but i shall keep it short save you the reading time xD
I did however during my time typing this realise that i…have forgotten the name you gave your camera hence why its referred to as the ‘camera’ i know it was a beautiful japanese name and i was sure it began with Ts… but i’ve forgotten this is why i named mine Barry clearly its boring enough to remember.
Oh dear lord i’ve rambled like a mad man, never let me reply at 2.30am AGAIN!!!
Looking forward to your future posts :)

LOL Adam your ramblings are amazing XD
I’m happy you like the haircut :) and my camera’s name is Tsugumi! Like the book of Banana Yoshimoto, which I loved as a teenager..
Many kisses!
Love your new haircut, Al! So chic ;)
And congratulations on the weight loss!
Thank you!! Now I have to keep the weight though… Which looks like the most difficult part :/
Kiss!
Al,
your hair looks gorgeous! It really makes your eyes become such a focus-lovely! For some reason I only saw this post come up in my feed and missed the previous ones-I hope you’re feeling better. Big hugs!
Definitely a great cut-suits you!
Hi Sarah!
Indeed I’m feeling better, not well though… Let’s say I’m not desperate anymore and I’m working on it :)
Thank you for the compliments on my hair!
A big hug
How does one say “holy elegance” in Italian?! Al, your new look is timeless. Whenever you feel sad and reflect on ‘the bomb’, please do yourself a favour and look in the mirror; it’s sure to make you smile.
Congratulations on your weight loss and beauty, inside and out.
ahaha Milla, “holy elegance” you’re too funny… In Italian is “Santa eleganza!”
Very good suggestion you gave me, I’ll try to do it every day ;)
Thank you so much for your words, love you
you’re looking super duper cute, Al – the hair cut is ideal for you. (wow, i didn’t know your hair had been THAT long – but still, good choice!) it makes your delicate features stand out even more. so beautiful! and – every negative thing has a positive side: weight loss :) ok ok, this is really not how and why we want to loose weight, but still… you’re amazing, Al! xo
Weight loss and haircut came before “the bomb” so it’s even better! :D
Actually I have the feeling that being myself in a way that I really like is helping me very much to go through it… I hope this moment will end soon, I’m so tired :( But I’m working on it!
Send you a lot of kisses, will mail you one day I promise! ;D
Wooow, you look super beautiful!! :D
Thank you Stiene! xxx
you know I’m an advocate of short hair so I’m definitely loving your new haircut! It looks more polished and smooth :)
Yay for smooth!! :D
Thank you Anna <3
Shit, just noticed still have to reply to your fb message (thank you very much btw)… I really don’t know where I have my head these days…
kiss
Nice haircut! You are beautiful Al! xx
Thank you dear Gigi!! <3

Amica in queste foto sei un vero schianto :-P
Quando ho visto su Facebook la foto con cui dicevi addio alla tua treccia giuro che ho urlato “noooooooooooooo”!!!
Ma devo ammettere che hai fatto bene: questa lunghezza ti dona tantissimo!
Probabilmente dovro’ tagliarli anche io: le punte sono cosi’ rovinate nonostante i continui trattamenti ristrutturanti che non credo di avere altra scelta :-(
Baci :-***
Partendo dal presupposto che la treccia era semplicemente splendida (sono una loro grande fan), con il taglio nuovo stai davvero bene! Ogni tanto ci vuole proprio. Ammetto però che, dopo due anni di carré fisso, ed essendo stata abituata fin da piccola ai capelli lunghi, a me era venuta una gran nostalgia, infatti ora li sto facendo crescere!
Ciao Alessia! Anche se ti ho gia’ fatto i complimenti per il nuovo taglio, te lo ridico nuovamente perche’ stai davvero benissimo e sono molto contenta che ora abbiamo entrambe la francia, la new entry dell’estate! Penso che tu ti stia godendo una vacanza italiana e spero di vedere presto qualche nuovo disegno o foto…Take care!
Al, you are too adorable! That looks suits you perfectly…. ready to take on the world! I hope all is well and can’t wait to see more drawings =)

Ciao bella!!! eccomi rientratta ahimè dalle ferie nella splendida (e fresca) Inghilterra.. Complimenti per le foto e per la tua decisione! Spesso cambiare se stesse anche solo fisicamente aiuta molto a sentirsi diverse, per lo meno a me succede. La tua treccia era favolosa, fammelo dire… Questo taglio ti sta benissimo, è qualcosa di piu personale, di brioso…sei bellissimaaaa! E aspetto presto altre tue foto. Mi raccomando!
Ricordo quando fino ai 30 anni ho tenuti i capelli superlunghi (e super lisci) ed il mio capo mi diceva che parevo mariamaddalena coicapelligiuperlaschiena! Lo odiavo. Ma quando poi ho iniziato a tagliarmeli, a volte piu a volte meno, ne sono stata soddisfatta e mi sono detta che in fondo in fondo non si sbagliava di troppo…. ;)
Un bacione! a presto, msbx
This haircut suits you so incredibly well. Love it!
