Hair Confessions: Major Hair Makeover?

In exactly one week I will be cutting my hair, now I'm not talking a trim, I'm talking nine inches lopped off at once.  I will be donating my hair with a group of former co-workers to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths program.  While this kind of change is a little nerve-wracking I am excited by the prospect of changing up my look.  In preparation for the big chop I have been scouring magazines and the internet for inspiration.  In one of those internet fueled expeditions I happened on Instyle's Hollywood Makeover, an extension of their web-zine that let's you "try on" the hair looks of today's hottest Hollywood celebs.  I had tried this type of hair try on before, but I thought it would be fun to record and share my results this time.

As you will see the the difference is in the details.
