Anyone who has known me for a long time, though, would say it is my old hairdo. I loved my long hair, but in the last three weeks or so, it started coming out by the handful! My step-daughter, Becky, who is a hairdresser, told me it is because of the anesthesia from my surgery. I found this article, that says that hair loss after surgery is caused by shock to your body. Whatever it was that caused it, it made me shed really bad. It looked like a rat in the shower after I washed my hair, and whenever I brushed it, there was hair all over me, the floor, in the brush. Not just a little bit, but a LOT. And it was starting to be noticeable to other people. (You know, starting to look scraggly.) So, I made the decision to get it cut short.
It was a decision that took me a while to make, but every time I saw another handful of hair come out, the decision got easier. So, while we were in Kanab yesterday, I just walked into the beauty shop and asked them to whack it off. I told the girl “Don’t be afraid to cut it short. It will grow back.”
Looks cute this way and it will grow back. Wonder how it’s going to handle the hat. 😉
Very chic! And if you discover you don’t like it, it will grow back. But I bet you like it.
It looks great! I hope you like the lighter hair-do for the rest of the summer!!
Very cute!
Very cute new do! Enjoy the easier maintenance!
Well, you look quite pretty, so not the worst thing in the world 🙂
I think you look even more fab than you did before!
It looks beautiful! Makes you look younger!
It looks great and I’m sure it feels a lot better, too. I know my head always feels lighter whenever I chop off my hair.
I like it, Karen. It does make you look younger. Are you trying to emulate Miley Cyrus? LOL!
It looks cute and it make you look younger.
Wow, you look so different! But it looks good. Plus I love your attitude. It is just hair. I’m struggling right now with cutting my hair because I *think* I’m ready to be my natural color which is now gray. I have been coloring my hair for so long that I just don’t know what to do. If I am going to go gray I figure I might as well cut it all off to so it is close to the real color.
It looks fabulous!
I think it looks wonderful on you, and very youthful. It’s a great wash and go haircut, not wash and wear that still needs to be primped, and it’s just what I’m planning on getting in a couple of weeks at my next hair appointment. Cajun man, a.k.a. hubby, mentioned that my hair would look good cut short again, so that is his kind way of saying that my terribly fine, thinning hair is starting to look stringy I guess. If you feel it doesn’t look right with your ranger hat try earrings and lip tint or tinted chapstick/balm, it’ll make you feel ‘pert near’ beautiful. You look really good..

Well I think you look fabulous! Short hair brings out your beautiful features. 🙂
Oh Karen, that’s so cute! That must feel so much more cool in the heat.
You look great!
You’re rockin’ it Karen!
I LOVE IT!!!!! It looks great!
It’s beautiful and really shows off your eyes and funky glasses frames!
I like your new look! Same thing happened to me after surgery. I wore it short for a few years and just recently let it grow out again. Wash and wear hair when it’s short!
Glad you posted…would not have recognized you! Looks cool and comfortable. “Mane and Tail” is a great cream rinse, makes hair thicker…though it’s for horses, it works well on humans!!!!! The shampoo is OK but the rinse works great….available at Tack n Feed stores. Great to meet you with Gaelyn!!!!

WOW, that is short…but I bet it feels VERY good!! I have not had mine quite that short…but there is such an advantage to having a short haircut…so quick to blow dry!! I hope you will enjoy wearing it. It makes you look so different…younger too I think!!
It looks amazing!! I love it!!
You look adorable! I love the shorter hair!
Looking good! That cut is very flattering and I bet it is a breeze to style!!
Seriously, Karen, that looks so good on you!! I love the short hair – so sassy and FAB!! 🙂
Very cute, you’re rocking the look!
