Since I got to Korea I regretted not cutting my hair before I came. I don't know what I was thinking. I thought I could go 12 months and not cut my already extremely long hair. Getting ready for school was a chore: washing, blow drying, curling, and often resulted in me being late everyday. I couldn't put it in a pony tail because the thickness gave me headaches and I often experienced neck pains from the weight.
I had planned to get it cut when I was in Seoul for New Years, but everyone we crossed was closed. Andrew and I are planning to go back to Seoul in less than a month and I was going to get it done then. Wednesday morning I woke up and decided, I don't care, it's good as gone this weekend. I decided that I would get it cut longer than wanted and if it was horrible I would get it fixed in Seoul.
So Jinyeong is a very small place. No one speaks English or understands it here, so Glen came with me to get it cut. I had asked for layering and thinning because I have so much hair that without it, it would just get frizzy, especially when the rainy season starts. My friend Choi said to have the director of this one shop cut it. But the director wasn't there and apparently is the only person in the shop that knows how to cut layers. So we waited an hour for the director to come.
I'm glad I waited. He had me very worried for a bit and cut a little shorter than wanted, but it looks great, I don't have to go to Seoul to get a hair cut! And it was less than 10 dollars. Here are some before and after photos.
