On to other things

The girl who cut my hair said, "When women say, 'Wow, your hair is so long' it is a friendly way of saying, 'You are way overdue for a haircut- let's go today and do something about that.' " She also said men never suggest it's time for a haircut...the longer the better. :) I considered a shorter bob, but the last time I had a chin-length bob I was 30 lbs. heavier and pregnant with baby #1, and there are just some mental connections there that can't be overcome. Here's my happy medium (no pun intended) and I'm just glad to be free from all that hair.

Before and after (and I must say this all seems pretty self-focused, but even my dad was curious):

Nothing drastic, but as all women know- if you aren't worrying about your hair you are free to worry about other things. :) Just kidding...but you are free to think of something other than yourself, and that is important.

you look really cute in both those pictures, congrats ;)

and I completely disagree with your hair-cutter. I say "wow, your hair is so long!" and mean nothing except "its a lot longer than it was the last time I noticed". I don't think anyone should cut their hair unless they want to, and definitely not just because everyone isn't used to seeing longer hair on them.

Lee Ann said...

Super cute--and yes, I can totally relate. Currently in a hair crisis myself--wearing way too many ponytails. Must make appointment asap...

Great look, Brite!!! Does it take a long time to fix? I don't know that Scott would recognize me without a ponytail, so I think it's time for a hair appt...the one I have now is as old as Joseph (almost)!

Thanks! Julie, I wouldn't get a style that takes too long to fix- I would just look like a slob all the time because I just wouldn't do it. Maybe in my younger days (okay, definitely in those days) but there are too many other things to do now. :)

I love it...AND (I don't know how, but) it makes you not look tired!!
I've been thinking about getting mine cut (against Jenna's wishes). Even threatened to do it myself just today!
WOMEN! Don never threatens to cut HIS own hair!
