I know you all are waiting with baited breath to find out what I did with my hair. Let’s review my before picture:

Before

My hair is all stringy and full of split ends. The color is a mess. There is no shape. It needed a change and it needed one bad.

After

The cut is very similar – I wanted to keep length for the all-important pony tail. There are some long bangs cut in that blend with the rest of my hair when I want them to. But the color is what I am most excited about. I’ve wanted to go darker for a while, but my stylist has always talked me out of it for varying reasons. Not this time! She did convince me to put some summery highlights in, and a bit of red.

I know what you’re thinking and yes, I have a license for that gun. Also, has my face always had that shape? Where did that chin come from?! Wow.

I am really happy with how it turned out. All you ladies out there (and probably some of you guys, too) know how great it is to go to a salon and get pampered. I love getting my hair washed and brushed, it’s so relaxing. I didn’t let myself think about my mommy-do list or feel guilty for one second about spending money on myself. My “me time” has fallen by the wayside now that Maddie is around. While it’s true I want to spend my free time with her, it’s important that I charge my batteries with frivolous things, too. Although, really, there is nothing frivolous about getting one’s hair did.
