Here you go, my peeps

Thanks for all your feedback. What I failed to mention is that I will NOT be straightening my hair every day (I don't even own a flatiron yet... that will change). So on the left, you see the result of my fabulous cousin/hairstylist Alina's flattening of my hair after she cut it. That shot is from last night's graduation where I got to not only wrangle seniors, but wear my Master's hood (a new tradition at IHS for the teachers). On the right, you see what my hair will look like most of the time, having simply been shampooed and air-dried.

I was going for the layering structure with the photo... my bad, I think I freaked everyone out. Kept y'all on your toes, eh?
