Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees
5 Aug
The most common question people ask me about my brother’s wedding is how I’m going to wear my hair. Sorry, John. They don’t care about your honeymoon or whether I’ve picked the chicken or fish. (Chicken, ftw.) They want to know about the hair.
I guess I can’t blame them, as my hair has taken on a life of its own. It’s darn long now and a very odd reddish-brown shade that resulted from me dying it a horrifically dark color a little bit ago and letting it grow out and fade. People love the color. I like the color. Too bad I can’t ever recreate it. The ill-thought-out bangs have grown out and can be pinned over or back. I’ve been experimenting with pins and hairbands and even Bumpits (warning: obnoxious self-starting video on that site).
It looks better because I’ve been paying better attention to it, including lovingly combing conditioner through it a few times a week with a wide-toothed comb and using Fekkai Glossing Cream on it to give it a bit of shine.
For the wedding I’m going to wear it back in a low bun. Like in this gorgeous illustration:
I'm an artist!!!!
To add a bit of flair, I purchased a hair clip off of Etsy to put back there too.

The only thing I’m on the fence about is whether or not to have large rollers put in pre-bun to give some volume around my face or to just pull the hair back regularly. Maybe I’ll just let the stylist decide.
Now all I have to do in the next few days is resist the urge to do something stupid. Like dye it light blonde. Or get a bob cut.

i think that your hair will look very classy like that. i also have a hard time resisting hair dye and dramatic cuts… especially the bob because it is so cute… but then after a few weeks i just want to pull it back and i cant because it is too short.
Simple is always better when it comes to hair. I always lose my mind and cut it/dye it and I have learned the hard way to let it go.
Less than a week to go and I’m ready to cut it all off! Gah! Gah! Too much hair!
