As a result, I've been thinking of cutting it off. A shorter hair cut might take less maintenance. At the same time, it not only runs the risk of not looking so great, but I also would probably have to curl it for sure every day to get it to look how I want--though it would take less time.
In the end, I decided to experiment what I can do with my current haircut. Medium-length hair lends itself to so many more options. And I'm just not quite brave enough to take the plunge and cut it all off. So, with this in mind, I plan to post some hair experiments here and there. Also, I'll post little tidbits of "style"--or whatever you want to call it--to help dress things up. A nice accessory, little trick, new piece of clothing, shoes, whatever is making me feel just a little bit better about myself. Because I know I'm not the only mom out there who feels less themselves physically and fashion-wise after having a baby.
Here's the first post!
Today I tried putting my hair in a "pretzel" using this tutorial from Joanna Goddard's A Cup of Jo.
It is raining today, and I knew if I took the time to curl my hair and stepped outside for a second, it would all be lost. I thought I'd give this a try as an alternative to a pony tail. It really doesn't take too long--and I didn't have to blowdry my hair all the way, so that was a bonus. I'm no hair expert and I'm sure I didn't do it perfectly, but it was reasonably easy and just took one try.
And of course here is a shot with Eliot just because.
Your not alone and it looks great :) For days that I don't dry my hair, or feel like doing anything to it, I just put some mousse in it and scrunch it up while it's wet. Whenever my hair is curly in pictures...thats all I did. I wonder if you could do that?
ReplyDeleteThanks! And that's all you do? It always looks so good that you surely had to do some serious curling! I'll give that a try today. :)
