Hair Cut

It’s getting hot down in the great southern desert. It still cools off at night (thank god) but May is the official beginning of summer, so it’s only going to get worse. Bucket baths and long hair was entirely too much of a hassle, so I cut it all off last weekend when I was in the capital.

This is what I was thinking:

This is how it turned out:

I’ve decided that I like it (as suprising as it was at first). It is so easy, pretty cute, and really really cool (temperature-wise). Long, non-kinky hair is adored here (they call it “pelo bueno”) and volunteers often get a lot of flack when they cut off big chunks, so I was a little worried going back to Batey 8. However, aside from a few little girls everyone has told me that they really like my hair short, some even like it better.

So that’s the new do. Hope you like it!
