I have gone between short and long hair almost all of my life and I like wearing both. In May of 2009 my son-in-law, NYC’s famous stylist and master colorist, Paul Cucinello, and I decided to cut my hair. I had just below the shoulder length hair and we started small, but by January 2010 I had the shortest haircut I had ever had in my life, about 1/2” to 3/4” all over. It looked awesome and, of course, was a breeze to care for. The reason I did this was because my hair was so dried, so fried from other “professionals” over processing, that it looked awful and it was completely unmanageable. Paul had been doing a single process (instead of the highlights, lowlights, burn my hair lights) since the first time I sat in his chair and it definitely helped by not adding insult to injury, but I still was not happy with my hair; so, snip!
Just as quickly as we cut, I wanted to grow, so the process started in February 2010 and is ongoing as I write. I now have hair that reaches to the middle of my back and Paul is still doing only single process color. My hair color is the blackest that money can buy – a blue black and it is shiny and very healthy. Yes, you read correctly, I have shiny black hair. Not something you usually see.
This is one of the reasons why:
