Got another straight-perm (as a gift from Paolo), but this time with a haircut and bangs. It got cut a little longer than shoulder length, and was supposed to be layered, but doesn't look it. After three hours at the salon, (which consisted of many, many painful minutes), I was presented with a whole new hairstyle. It's shorter than I would have wanted it, but surprisingly, I love it. This is the shortest that I have ever had my hair cut to (other than when I was little), but I'm really glad to have this change.
