my hair, a continuing saga
I haven't written about my hair in a while. Lucky you.
The truth of it is: I've been pretty pleased with my hair for about two years. It's been easy to take care of, I've had other things on my mind, and I was comfortable with the way it looked.
But time marches onward and I have become disillusioned with my hair. I look a little harsher than I wish to look and my short, cropped hair is beginning to draw attention to my older, harder-looking face.
So, yeah...looking like this:

only without the Botox.

Have decided I'd like to shoot for this:

but am terribly concerned that I may lapse into this:

when I'd love to have the guts to look like this:

I'm afraid it would be terribly butch on me.
Plus, I'd be divorced as K would pack his bags and leave. No. Wait. He'd throw me out.
I can't tell you how many times I've looked like this:

and this:

while striving to look like this:

So, this:

not this:

Got it?

So I feel your pain. And I think your goal 'do is super cute.
Sigh.
You need to print out these pictures and take them to the hairdresser. Take the one of Mrs Brady and with a black Sharpie, make that circle-with-a-slash international sign on her.
My solution? Shorter in the back than the front. Grows out relatively painlessly.
Good luck mama!
Heaven.
Your pictures of how your hair has looked are seriously funny. And yes, aim far way from a Carol Brady mullett.
This blogger showed pictures of her cute haircut...Sew Liberated. Very Amelie.

Good luck. All of my hair comes pre-styled. I think maybe I'll look for something different soon myself.
Don't feel bad about not being able to attain the Meg look. I've never seen anyone do it like she does.
And I'm glad you are 'just saying no' to the Carol Brady. It didn't even look good on her.
I like the "goal 'do", but having had something similar in the past, be prepared for very frequent trims, or you will quickly venture into Bradyville. Like, in three weeks.
I like the goal as well -- as long as you don't let the back grow too long, you won't venture into mullet territory.
oh, and got it.
Let me know when you decide to shave your head--I've always wanted to do that, but I'm too much of a chicken to START the craze.
And I am prone to take pictures of myself into the hairdressers to explain how I do NOT want to look. One day I will find a style I am happy with. One day.
