The haircut that the hubs hates

 

On the 26th of September I decided that I needed a haircut. I was contemplating dying my hair bright pink… or red… or a combination of pink and blue… but in the end I decided on a cut.

This was my hair on the morning of September 27th. Long, dark, straight, with long bangs.

We cut off the pile of hair pictured above.

This is what my hair looked like after.

I am personally in love with it. Short hair is my favorite, especially in the age of clip in extensions. I love how easy it is to fix it, and leave. I don’t have to spend an hour actually styling my hair.

Husband had a very different idea of my hair thought.

Hubs was upset to say the least. This is his “annoyed/glaring/what the heck is my wife taking pictures of” face.. which is very appropriate to how he felt about my hair.

He’s gotten a little better about it, and hasn’t mentioned the emotional damage I’ve caused him by cutting off my hair.

Sorry Husband. It’s just hair. It’ll grow back. For now, I’ll enjoy my short, easy cut!

Better late then never… right?!

This past Friday, I was going to link up with Natalia over at Ma Nouvelle Mode… except that I wrote up the blog, edited the pictures, but never actually got around to combining the two together and scheduling it to post.

I could spend a lot of time giving you all kinds of excuses as to why I’m late, but I’m sure you don’t want to hear about how bad of a blogger I am and how I’m just SOOO tired all the time. SO, without further ado here are three of my styles.

My hair has gotten super long lately, and I have been keeping it pretty dark. My all time favorite color and the go to is the blue-black that my amazing stylist and friend mixes for me. The bangs are new, because I wanted something different. Speaking of something different, I had a few of my extensions died Katy Perry colors. Since I used my extensions when I was growing my hair out and now just use it for volume, I didn’t really need the one inch pieces so we died them hot pink, blue, aqua and purple. They stand out super well with the blue black and I love it. I also feel like I am 12 when my hair is so bright.

Day 2 was just as boring as day one, so I decided to throw in some braids. NOW, I suck at braiding my hair in all kids of cool French braids and twists sooo, I end up with boring braids as in the above pictures. I also DO NOT wash my hair daily… as a matter of fact, I wash my hair every 3 to 4 days. GROSSSSS I know. BUT it is much better for my hair. AND my color does not fade as fast. AND if you look at the first set of photos you can see how puffy and freezy my hair can get… and day two is usually much more tame.

OH… dry shampoo is my BEST FRIEND.

By Day 3, my hair needs to be pulled back, and really styled so that it does not look gross. Hence, the side messy bun. My bangs are also in need of a trim! Hence the side bangs. I usually add a few of my longer extension pieces to make my buns look fuller… however I am lazy and did not feel like putting in extensions … hence the miserable side bun.

I hope you all had a great weekend. I know mine was pretty productive, aside from a few work disasters that are going to make me cry tomorrow morning.

OH and in other news, I am now officially a graduate student and start class in 30 minutes. Can someone explain to me why I am going back to school?!

New!

 

This Sunday, I sort of took the morning for myself and visited my favorite hair stylist and amazing friend.

Kaitlin is a doll, and literally the best hair stylist here in Denver, so if you live anywhere in the area, make the drive out and see her in LoneTree. Ask me for details.

She is the one responsible for my hair going from this at the end of 2009…

Please ignore the super excited/crazy look on my face.

… through this little journey:

February 2010

November 2010 (chunks of blond that pretty hidden if I did not want them seen… and pardon the awful hair, humidity in Galveston Texas was not on my side)

December 2010 (just to show you how well the blond was hidden, and whoever it was that took this photo with my camera really failed)

February 2010, we put in some very bright red/hot pink into my hair

And Yesterday we did this number:

I love it!

Bangs always make me look a lot younger, but I honestly love them. And Kaitlin for making them look this good. My color is also perfect with so much shine I could die.
ALSO, this is how long my hair is right now WITHOUT extensions.

Have you done a hair transformation? What style are you loving right now?!

Miss Jordana Brewster was the inspiration behind the bangs, and while mine are a bit more full, I love them just as much. 

Do you get style inspirations from stars? If so, who?
