Brave Ruth

Ruth-Before (Gorgeous right?)

Ruth- After (Short, Sexy and Confident!)

My second night staying in my freshman dorm, my blonde bombshell neighbor from across the hall popped her head in my room and said,  "Hey, I hear you're good at hair!" to which I replied, "I sure am! What's up?" One funny thing I've learned about styling hair is that it's not a talent you can be modest about. The way I see it, you're either good or you're not and answering, "I guess I'm OK.." or "Oh, no I'm really not that good" in an effort to appear humble just doesn't cut it. She  told me her name was Ruth and that she wanted to chop off all of her hair! Her hair was long, blonde and beautiful so at first I was confused at her request, but I love hair so much I couldn't refuse her.  She had had short hair in the past and said she felt more sexy with a short cut versus when she has long hair and feels pretty or cute. In the middle of my messy dorm room (I had not even finished unpacking yet!) Ruth took a seat in my desk chair while I dug my spray bottle and scissors out of my suitcase. After spraying down her hair and letting her comb it one last time, I pulled it back into a pony tail and chopped it off to the length of a cute bob which fell at the base of her neck. "Shorter!" she said. "Are you sure? I can always cut more but I can't glue it back on," I replied. "Just do it, short and sexy remember?" With that, I went for it and it turned out darling! Ruth was fearless and now her hairstyle proved it. She looked great with long hair but her new short cut gave her a whole new look and the confidence she wanted to start a new chapter in her life!
