Apparently, getting a mini-makeover and then not showing people the new you for three weeks doesn't work out very well.  Three people noticed.  I gave one of them a hug.

What am I talking about?  Before I left for Florida, I lopped six inches off my hair and colored my naturally brown hair a temporary shade of red.  A few shampoos and 10 days of Florida sun later, the red has faded somewhat.  I have no clue what color to call my hair now.  Directly under the sun as well as artificial light, the reddish tint is obvious, but otherwise the change is not as noticeable (note: when I mention that I colored my hair, people instantly notice that it's redder.) However, six inches of hair!?  How can people not notice that?

I was thrown for a loop by what one person had to say about my new hairstyle. Upon seeing me for the first time upon my return home, she looked at me and said words that stunned me into saying, "What did you say?"  So she repeated the following words: "Your hair is getting long."  I nearly flipped out right there in the restaurant.  "What are you talking about, getting long?! I cut off six inches!"

I guess I'd have to cut my hair to shoulder-length and dye it blonde for anyone to notice. Oh well.
