Here are two pictures of the new 'do. They were taken this morning before church. I decided to see how little I could do to look presentable: I took my half-straight, half-curly just rolled out of bed hair, brushed it, and stuck hot rollers in it while I put on my makeup- this was the result:



It looks a lot better when it's blown out straight and then curled at the ends (especially in the back), but this took less than 10 minutes from start to finish, including makeup application, and I think it's good enough to wear out in public. I wish I'd taken a picture when I got back from the hair place, it's never going to look that cute again. I'm still working on my hot roller skills- I've used them twice and am not particularly coordinated with the sectioning and the rolling, but I have hope that one day it will not require all my concentration to stop dropping the clips every few seconds.

Now I must get back to my doc review and pint of Ben & Jerry's Half Baked ice cream, hope everyone had a relaxing weekend!

  2. I think it looks great. And the 10 minutes prep time is a definite plus.

  3. I like it.
    A bit of a dramatic change (esp for you, I imagine!) but it suits your face, I think.

  4. Very nice! And I'm so impressed you did anything involving hot rollers in ten minutes or less. I don't think I could even get hot rollers into my hair in ten minutes much less be done by then!

  5. Beautiful!

    And 10 min... I'm impressed. My hair is super flat and straight, won't curl, so I always end up just putting it in a ponytail. ew.

  9. Thanks K! I love them as well- they're 3.5" peeptoes with a tiny bit of a platform to make them fee like a comfy 3". They're Elie Tahari, originally $250, but $24.99 TJ Maxx clearance - man I love that store!

  13. I love it! It looks great on you. This post is very timely for me because I've gone six months without a haircut and finally got desperate enough last night to cut my own. Now THAT is desperation. Luckily it turned out pretty well.
