First of all, thanks so much for the birthday wishes for Miss Braeya Jo yesterday. She had the best kitty day. She napped. She drank a lot of water (a hobby for her), and she watched the birds.
Next up, in important topics of conversation, can we talk about hair?
If you've been reading here for a while, you probably know a few things about my hair. Namely, I have a lot of it and it's very attitudinal.
I mentioned to Ryan the other day that I am actually not NEARLY as adventuresome with my hair as I used to be. When I was first out of college, I had about a hundred hair cuts and colors. I would try just about anything. You remember the orange mishap, right???
But it's been longish and blondish for a while now. And you know how it goes with me. When it's anything for too long, I start itchin' for a change.
I've been trying to grow out my bangs, which is also an adventure that comes and goes with time. Right now it's smack in the middle of ultra maddening. Bobby pins are my besties right now.
And I finally learned how to curl my hair with a flat iron, and then one day last week, these four random sections of hair went on strike. They just won't curl. I have no idea why. They're just done, I guess.
I'm presuming humidity is ramping up again because the hair is also starting to grow (not in length, but in volume) and lose its curl by the end of the day.
So last night I spent a small chunk of time on Pinterest trying to figure out if I wanted to try a new cut or a new color this summer. While I've definitely decided AGAINST the above cut and color, I am not sure what I'm aiming for.
Do any of you have favorite "hair people?" One of mine is Nicole Huntsman. (Here are some examples of her haircuts and colors.) Though I don't want to explore anything as super short as some of hers, I feel like her general hair thickness and volume is somewhat similar to mine, and I like the ways she has cut and styled it.
So I shall ponder this for the next month or so, but if you have anything to send my way, please do!! (I would consider changing colors to anything that is considered a natural color. Because of my job, I can't go non-natural, so no blues or greens or pinks. Or orange, Bekah.)

I am of no help... my hair is long thick and naturally curly... it maddening most days but I normally braid it and call it a day.
My philosophy on my own hair style has been to keep it as simple and decision free as possible. I have had the same style for about my entire adult life. I just have to decide how often to trim it and/ or get it highlighted (weighty enough hair decisions for me :)). My thoughts on hair color in general on others are that super dark hair is harsh looking (if the person has fairly pale skin) and super light hair is unnatural looking. I think you would look good with light brown or dark blond hair color. I would keep it long enough to be able to pull it back in a pony tail. That is all I have!
Well I am guessing that purple is out as well...that’s been my go to color of the last two years because it’s such a nice contrast with white! Lois
I always think your hair is super! It was so nerve-wracking to move and need to leave my hair person of 10 years!! I lucked out with a great guy here!
I am no help but my hair philosophy is "It will always grow back." This allows me to make changes that I might regret but won't have to live with forever.
