Adventures in Beautyland: How to Chop Off All Your Hair

Step one: yearn

Heeeeeeeeey! Whoa! Fancy seeing you here! Long time, no blog. Or, rather, long time, no beauty blog. I have missed writing about beauty and style stuff, and I wanted to do it on my terms; this new column, Adventures in Beautyland, marks an occasional foray back into the digital writing that served as my gateway into publishing online.

Please note: the title is a reference to Beautyland, an upcoming book by Marie-Helene Bertino, which you should order.

Earlier today, I saw a friend for the first time since July. We aren’t connected on any social media – we only really talk via Zoom – and she had no idea that I’d cut off my hair in early August. I’d already started working on this newsletter, and I’d actually just scheduled a follow-up appointment with my stylist for a trim, so it was fun to have a first-look reaction several months after The Big Chop.
