Peanut Butter Cup didn't recognize me at first (I had been hoping that wouldn't happen, but thought it might), and it took him a good ten minutes to start behaving normally around me after we got back home! :-( My poor little Munchkin looked SO confused!
After washing my hair (before cutting it) the hairstylist, Cat, lifted up the top layer of my hair and told me that I do not in fact have straight hair with a slight wave, but in fact have curly hair! She gave me a mirror and turned me around so I could see, and it really did look like I had a perm! Cat told me that because my hair is so heavy and I always have it pulled back, that probably caused it to be straighter on the top and front, but it may eventually curl as well after not pulling it back for awhile. The back is already curling more (my husband thought I had gotten a perm when he first saw it, ha ha). No wonder it's been so 'poofy' for forever! It's been frizzing because I brush it too much and because of the humidity of the places that I've lived. Now I have to learn how to leave it alone, not brush it, and to use mousse. I didn't even know what mousse was for until yesterday. Yep, yesterday was full of interesting discoveries where my hair was concerned!
And here it is--my 'new look', ha ha!!

Peanut Butter Cup was still getting used to the new me in these pictures, which may explain why he looks somewhat quizzical. :-)
After #2
After #3
Anyhow, I think it makes me look more my age than my previous straight, poofy, long haircut did (I looked more like a teenager than a married woman with a baby!). My husband says he is starting to like it more and more . . . I'm just trying to get used to having hair so close to my eyes! :-)
I love it! I have been wanting to cut mine... but my hubby likes long hair. *sigh* I just may do it one of these days.
ReplyDeleteHeather! Your haircut is ADORABLE!!! I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, so now I'll confess ignorance. What exactly is mousse for? Does it help bring out natural curl or something?
Awh! It's really so cute!! It looks super good on you :)
ReplyDeleteHeather !!! It is beautiful!! I love the way it frames your face and shows off your pretty eyes!!
ReplyDeleteIt does change your looks and make you look "all grown Up"!! LOL Love you all! Aunt Helen
So cute, Heather!
ReplyDelete@Jennifer -- Thanks Jennifer!! My husband is the same way, preferring it long, but Peanut Butter Cup thought it was fun to try to dangle from . . . obviously I didn't share his sentiments, ha ha. It took some convincing on my part to get my husband to come around to the idea, but he eventually did! I think pointing out that it didn't have to be permanent necessarily and that it would grow back if we didn't like it was the biggest selling point! Ha ha!
ReplyDelete@Stacey -- Awww, thank you! From what I understand now (which might not be much! Ha ha!!), mousse is kind of like styling gel mixed with hair spray. I'm supposed to apply it to my hair in the mornings after spritzing it to make it damp, scrunch my hair so the curls are more curly, and then it holds them in place after it dries (or something to that effect). Hopefully I haven't just completely misled you!
@Beth -- Thanks!! How are you doing? How are things with that man of yours? You are such a cute couple! When I remember our ensemble days it's hard to believe we are 'all grown up' now! :-)
@Aunt Helen -- Thanks! Love you too!
@Christy -- Thanks!! Hope you are doing well!!
I love it...it lets me see the similarity between you and Laura too...I understand about little man always wanting to pull and play with the hair...I keep mine up a lot because he Loves to play with mine...you're adorable!
