A new era

 Sooooo....I've been shaving my head since 2011. I even did a blog post at the beginning of this hair journey here. Yes....since 2011!!! Holy crap! There was even a time I was shaving both sides!

Well, after thinking about it for awhile now, I decided to finally grow my hair out. Wut?!?!?

I thought I'd document here how it'll be like for me for the next few months. Honestly, as much as I love this hairstyle (because most people hate it...LOLZ), I'm just too lazy now to maintain it. (I have to shave it every other week minimum...sigh).

The beginning, taken Nov 2/2023.




Taken Nov 10/2023
I decided to bleach the growing undercut. It's totally uneven.
No makeup! Don't be scared:P

I will still be bleaching and colouring it, but here it is right now (in between hair colouring). I now flip my hair to the other side to cover the shaved part. The good thing with long hair is that, fingers crossed, the grow-out phase won't be too bad coz I can use the flipped hair to just cover it.

Yes. I know my hair is damaged. I'm beyond caring at this point.



I also wear baseball caps a lot for  now:D

Have you sported a hair style for a long period of time?

Oh, you are an artist! A very long time ago, I used to have one side shorter than the other while I was living back in Upstate New York. My neighbor cut it and it was a fun project through the dead of winter. My hair grew faster then too. I wished I had appreciated my hair more then. Since then, it went through a thinning phase and during the pandemic I let it grow out. Later, certain peeps in the family didn't want me to cut it. But as I said, it is so thin, So I really wear a short hair style now and sometimes, if I'm feeling pink I get out my pink wig and will go incognito.

All the best on this project. You do have so much style with this. I will be looking forward to this new journey.

I always loved your hair! I have pretty much had long hair for my entire life.. never changed color or anything. I did get a short bob right after I got married but that was the extent of my hair adventures.. so boring, I know.

I've always thought your undercut and hair was super cool Emmy! They people who hate are boring haterz ;p I've been wanting to do one but haven't been able to find the guts. I've been sporting some variation of a bob for years now, sometimes shorter, sometimes longer, sometimes shaggy, sometimes sleek. It just works for me and is the most low maintenance. I'm not into spending a ton of time on my hair LOL

I have always thought your hair is so so cool, but I can totally understand not wanting to maintain it all the time. It would be a lot! It's nice that you can flip your hair over to cover up the shaved part while it grows out. I hope you have a fabulous week <3

I use to have the sides of head shaved a long time ago. Growing it out was a challenge for sure. But 12 years that is something!!

Some analogue love #2

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)

The latest item I finished knitting: the Waiting For Rain shawl:) Love how this turned out, you guys:) The yarn was really lovely to work with (Kaleidoscope) and the pattern was easy to follow. Now that it's getting colder again, a knitted shawl is always handy to have:D It's just the right length, and it sits nicely on the shoulders. Waiting For Rain shawl by Sylvia McFadden, worn with my old Rainbow Bar&Grill shirt and UNIQLO pants In progress: Blocking:
