the tortoise and the hair

get it? my glasses are tortoise shell frames. and here's the new haircut. the overwhelming majority of voters wanted side swiper bangs, so i delivered because i am just that much of a pushover. actually i wanted them pretty bad myself, the only thing really holding me back was that i hate hair in my face and side bangs are long enough to get in your eyes almost by definition. BUT since i have my new glasses, i can tuck the bangs behind the corner of the lens and they hold them back pretty well until they grow enough to blend with the other hair. i really like the cut and i LOVE the color. i am so happy to be out of 1 year old roots shamefest.
.
it took 4 hours and more than several dollars to accomplish this revival, but i am so happy i finally did it. the girl who did it was the same one who did it last november and she was proud that her cut and color had lasted so long without absolutely HAVING to be updated. she said ideally every 9 months is enough and would avoid fried hair syndrome. fantastic, that's probably how often i will have 4 spare hours and it will give me enough time to save up the cost again too!
.
judah played golf with daddy (buckled in the cart this time...dont get me started on what happened when i found out he was just sitting the carseat in the cart the 2 times before) while i had my hairathon, so major props to them for letting me go. there's still no way in hellfire i am going to be a hair down daily type of girl, but this should get my average back up to once a week at least...up from once a month since judah was born.

turns out that the trick for keeping degreased bangs doesn't work...i'm not sure it ever did since the frustration i was feeling late sunday was very familiar. the fruffle (ruffle+fluff) maneuver only keeps them separated for about 5 minutes until they congeal again. the best solution i have is baby power or makeup powder dusted in there. this works for blondies more than darkies because the white of the powder, although you could by some black lady makeup powder...that would work.

a toss of my new bangs to you all!

  1. So I can totally relate on the not having enough time to do your hair thing! I'd rather have an extra 30 minutes of playtime with Molly Grace than spend it drying my hair! This weekend I found the best stuff...it is dry shampoo and you spray it on your hair when you don't have time to wash your hair! Its AMAZING! I only wash my hair every other day because it is so thick and it really does make your hair look amazingly shiny and like you just washed it. Unfortunately, I can't remember the brand that makes it right now but if you want I can find it out and tell you! Just thought I would share! I love the new do!

    now it's my turn to get my act together and get rid of these ridiculous roots...and i could use a shower...
    PLEASE tell mary beth that there is an entire population of busy moms who desperately want to know the brand of this magic potion known as dry shampoo. is there a spray that makes your butt and thighs look better too?

  3. The brand I use is Rene Furterer Naturia Dry Shampoo. I promise it is amazing! I was in a wedding on Saturday and I used it Saturday morning instead of washing my hair and my hair looked better than the day I washed it. Bumble and Bumble also makes a great dry shampoo too. They are a little pricey but well worth the cost!!

  7. For the record, I didn't not strap Judah in while riding on the golf cart the last TWO times. Only once. I guess I just forgot with all the beer that we drank that time (swear he doesn't even remember). Or maybe it was because I didn't want his cigar to burn a hole in the car seat. But honestly, if he was strapped in, he wouldn't have been able to be the DD. Now would he? Come on. Golf Responsibly people.
