Shifting a Shade for Fall with Clairol
Today I dyed my hair. I realize for most of you that's a pretty humdrum everyday sort of statement, but for me it's beyond novel, maybe even just a bit wild and crazy. I haven't dyed my hair since I was a teenager. After a handful of botched attempts at turning my hair red, I settled in for twenty-some years of very long and very brown. I will admit that occasionally over … [Read more...]
H is for… HAIR HUGS
With four long haired family members, we've got a whole lot of hair going on. Care to imagine what my bathtub drain looks like? And yes, my kids are still crazy obsessed with mama's hair and with hair hugs. Here we have some photos where my five year old helper tried to capture her little sister attacking me a hair hug in progress. Well, at least she looks … [Read more...]
First Haircut
In the never-ending battle to keep Rocket's hair tidy and out of her face, I had to admit defeat. I gave in and did what I swore I would never do and gave her bangs. After the botch-job I did trying to cut her big sister's hair, I took Rocket out and had it done at a shop. I hate that she just had it cut and already looks like she needs a trim. Other then that it beats fighting … [Read more...]
I chopped over a foot off of my hair…
Last week my mom came over and gave me my yearly trim. The entire time she was cutting my hair Rainbow was in the kitchen doorway yelling, "Don't cut too much Mimi! Leave me enough for hair hugs! hair hugs!!" My knee length hair, pre-hair cut. And my waist length hair, post hair cut. Notice how now the baby can't grab it when I'm standing up? Yeah. Much … [Read more...]
Rainbow’s New Haircut
So for those of you who have been following along on my adventures in horrible hair-cutting, here are a few photos of Rainbow's new and improved hairdresser corrected hair-do. If you missed out and want to see how bad it looked after I cut it you can take a peek here. I'm still have regrets over it ending up so short, but I am mostly relieved that she is no … [Read more...]
Rainbow’s Haircut – Part 2
I coerced Rainbow into letting me take some pics of her new haircut. She was reluctant. She said she wanted to wait until Mimi takes her to the hair-dresser. The hair-dresser who according to my daughter is going to fix her hair and make it tidy, but not cut it. Yeah, I'm so glad my mom is taking her and I get to sit this one out. So yeah, not exactly straight. … [Read more...]
Rainbow’s Haircut – Part 1
By request, I hunted around for some pre-haircut pictures of Rainbow. Her hair was actually a bit longer than it appears in most photos. As it hadn't been cut since she was born, it grew in sort of rounded -- with the back being longer than the sides. Up Next: Part 2, the post hair-cut pics. … [Read more...]
I Make a Lousy Hair-Dresser…
Today I gave Rainbow her first real haircut. Rainbow was born with a full head of dark thick hair. I was told it would probably fall out, but it never did. When she was 6 months old I cut bangs to keep her hair out of her eyes and later regretted it and let them grow out. Her hair has grown to a point where it is down past her bum. My hair is that long, and I don't … [Read more...]
Secret Mommyhood Confessions – Hair Hugs
I have long hair. My which I mean Really Long Hair. Seriously, down past my bum, encroaching on my knees, long hair. I haven't had short hair in at least twenty years. Over the years I have often been approached by strangers who want to talk to me about my hair. I am constantly asked questions, from the frequent and mundane, "Isn't it hard to take care of." (Heck no. It's … [Read more...]
