Right before we left on vacation, I got my hair cut. I chose to have side bangs with hair cut to frame my face. My mom wanted me to choose a haircut that I would fix my hair every day and not wear it in a pony tail all the time. Mostly, I fix my hair now and even when I don't, it looks better just because of the bangs. While we were on vacation, I chose to color part of my hair bright red. It looked really good. Maybe I will do purple next...
