Hair

Why does it seem like my family is always harassing me to get a haircut.... I HATE haircuts... 
Nevertheless I finally obliged on Thursday after weeks of my mothers nagging. But this time we weren't going to Dwight's, we went to Jean Paul instead... (Don't those names sound fancy?)
Now this is my first time getting my hair cut by Jean Paul, so I had no idea what to expect. Even when you tell a hair dresser what you want done, it's always different. I thought, like Dwight, Jean Paul would just do the regular scale down cut of my afro-ette. Boy was I wrong! 
This guy managed to make my curls go straight and he gave me an almost emo hairstyle. I was shocked for sure, but still rocked the look to lessons. Well who told me to do that! One of my friends began stuttering as I approached the gate,"L-l-levi? W-What did you d-do to your hair??!!" I'll admit it was too much of a shock for some people but others were lovin' it :) 
I'll post a pic but by the time I took it in the night, my hair had begun to lose it's silky softness and get that thick coarse feel again so it's not a perfect representation of what everyone saw.
Yesterday I tried redoing my hair in that style but to no avail. So what do I do instead? I pump some super hold serum into my hands and slick my hair up into a faux hawk... well, at least the closest thing to one that I could with my hair. Again at lessons, some were all love and others were just shocked. It was really funny actually. 
Today though I just left it alone on my head :D in no particular style. But I'll continue to mess around with it while its short until I get my fro-ette back.
Some pics?  :
