The Experiment

So I tried something new with my hair today. I got tired of blow-drying it with the diffuser to make it curly and thought maybe I'd have fun with straight hair instead. I used to straighten it nearly every day (which drove Jason crazy because he much prefers it curly, but I liked it better straight with the cut I had), but for the last few months I've been using a diffuser to dry it curly in the mornings. It turns out pretty nice most days, but this morning I just wanted something different. This is how it turned out. Of course, this is about 3 minutes after I finished it, and by this evening it just looked flat and BLAH, but oh well.

First Attempt: Not So Bad

This was my first attempt at fixing my hair after washing it following my hairdressing appointment. It NEVER turns out looking the same, but fortunately I liked how it turned out this morning! I got it done on Monday, but didn't actually wash/fix my hair yesterday due to not having a shower. So today was the first day I did it on my own. And I now own a diffuser for my hair dryer. It's kind of fun! So we'll see how well subsequent days go... As a comparison, here's a picture of how it looked on Monday after Rachel (my hairdresser) cut and styled it:

And yes, that is MY OWN HAIR. It is not permed, nor did she use a curling iron. Crazy, eh?

A Funny Face

When I went to say hello to my sister in her office this morning, she noticed I had just had my hair done. She thought it was cute and rifled through my purse until she found my camera. Mission accomplished, she snapped a photo of me with my freshly trimmed and styled hair, and said, "Now you can be on your OWN blog today!" So, in honour of Ruth's request, here is me, on my own daily photo blog. (For the record, my tongue doesn't normally stick out of my mouth for photos, but I was just about to make a face at her.)

Much Better

No, he's not naked. This is a G-rated blog. He just took off his shirt because I'd cut his hair and some had gone down his shirt and were itchy. Anyway, the point is that tonight was haircut night. His hair was getting quite long, and I'd been meaning to cut it for about a week. So now it's done...and it'll look better in the morning after his shower.
