Hair Mood Boards

I'm seeing a new hair person on Thursday. I'm sick of looking. I really want to settle down.  He sounds amazing and I really want things to work out between us. I want to have a lasting, productive relationship. I really want to establish a standing appointment. Having a standing hair appointment will be some grown-ass-lady stuff. Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.

I've been creating mood board collages of my hair history. The good and the better.

Sure, it's vain, but it's also hard to create verbal illustrations of how you expect your hair to turn out. I recommend when you're having a good hair day that you photograph it. You don't have to share it with the internet, but save it somewhere you can refer to if you need to meet a new stylist.

I sometimes feel like a little psycho taking all these photos of my hair, but look, they're helpful. I'm really happy I've got this crazy-girl archive to mull back over and decide where to go from here.






Til then, I'm breathing deep and printing, printing, printing examples.

I bet I'm the only person who brings in example photos of myself.

My Fluffy Big Hair

I did something different today with the hair routine. I just shampooed with Bliss SuperShine and skipped conditioner. I put a touch of conditioner on the ends after blotting it dry and did not rinse. I blow-dried it to about 90% dry and I use a round-brush. I know my co-workers were staring at the bigness.


I haven't whittled or thinned it out in over a month. Normally thickness can't survive because I get hot wearing a helmet and rush home to cut it with my thinning razor. I'm like Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite, I don't even hesitate to relieve myself of the misery of a hot wig.

I'm trying to embrace the possibility of having that wall of bangs like Zooey D.

But alas, when my head gets hot, and when I feel like blow-drying hair is a waste of my precious time - out will come the thinning razor and I will chop that shag right off.
