New hair and stuff...

Hi you guys! Hope everyone is doing well. So in an effort to post more, I've purchased an iPad and bought an app for blog posting (I obviously didn't purchase it just for that, but it was definitely one of the main reasons) I miss chatting with you guys so this seemed like a good idea for when I have a minute at work. I can never find the time when I get home. It's too hectic with the little munchkins and when I don get a minute at home with them and the hubs, I just want to spend quality time with them you know?

Anyway, my first post on this puppy is going to be about hair. Every summer I get this hankering to do something drastic like chop it off or colour it. But I'm really digging the length (it's down to my lower back and I want it longer...I won't stop until I look like Rapunzel) and I made a pact with myself that I wouldn't colour it until I started to go gray. Why mess with a good thing, you know? So what to do, what to do...

This is what I did:





I've been wanting to do it since last year, but knew my hubby would hate it. And where I live is quite conservative (I stick out like a sore thumb already) so I put it off. But recently I started thinking, wait. It's just hair you know? It'll grow back. A girl who does feather extensions at the boutique I do nail art out of brought in her clippers and did this sick tribal print. I loved it! And the best part is that all I have to do is part my hair the other way and you can't even see it (so my neighborhood doesn't chase after me with torches and pitchforks). Haha, my husband hasn't even seen it yet and it's almost been a month. I think he's happier pretending it's not there and if he's happy I am too ;) Now don't get it twisted, he's not the unsupportive type, he told me to do it if it made me happy, but he's just not into the trends, you know?

But my hair grew sooooo fast. Seriously, I know it grows fast but it being short made it grow ridiculously fast. The print was gone in 4 days...needed a clip badly, so I did this one:









I had to get someone else to do it since my hair girl went out of town for the summer. I asked for a lightening bolt and let the stylist do what she wanted. And I made sure she went really short with it and it lasted longer. It's been a week today but it's getting long again and I'm getting frustrated again. Any ideas for the next print? I was thinking a diamond.

And would any of you guys do it? Or not your style?

I would love to do it, but I haven't plucked up the courage yet lol.

It took me long enough to cut my hair short to a Rihanna-esk style when she first cut her hair short lol.

Look's like I'll keep putting it off haha.

It looks shit hot though! ;) x

I am so jealous of the fact that you were brave enough to do it!! I'm a hair stylist and I want to do it but I think it'd look bad on me, I'm a little chicken, and the salon I work at I don't think the clientelle would approve...

Makeup Mama said...

Melanie*loves*makeup: that's the best part for me is that I can flip the part to the other side and ppl seriously have no clue! haha, one of the places work at is the same way. Definitely wouldn't approve...it's like the clark kent to my superman ;)

Makeup Mama said...

Thank you ladies for all your comments. I'll take a pic of what it looks like with the part on the other side soon ;)

Your hair looks cute! I really liked the tribal print!

As for the ipad 2, how are you liking it? I'm thinking of purchasing one this week.. I figured it would make blogging a lot more convenient. Are you loving it so far?

That looks amazing!

sixonetwosix said...

WHAAAAAAAT???!! That is INSANE!! I LOVE IT!! You totally suit it!! Dang you got balls!

Some clip-in extensions would look great on the side with long hair. Like, in a different color. Like a platinum blonde or something.

LOVE.LOVE.LOVE.

That is fabulous hair!! I can't wait until my hair grows out enough so that I can do that style, I've been dying to for that cut for almost a year now (right now it's a fauxhawk. I see you're based out of Vancouver, me too! :)

Mizz Entice: sorry for the late reply...might be too late! But I love my iPad. Bear in mind o that flash doesn't work on the apple products and I find it so annoying when websites tell me I need flash to view. Ugh. Other than that in love it :)

6126: thank u lady :) haha. U've made some ballsy hair moves in the past haven't u? Yup you have...

Makeup Mama said...

Sokolum79: based out of vancity? AND a makeup artist? You must be going to the imats then? I'd love to rock a faux hawk if I thought my big old head would suit it.

Arummmanis said...
