New hair!

Well, just a new hairstyle :)

I LOVED my hairdresser!  I went to a new place because they were all booked at my first choice, but both are Aveda salons.  I'm really loving the Aveda salons!  They must be really picky about who they hire, because I was not disappointed at the Dharma Salon in Arcadia, and I was DEFINITELY not disappointed this time at the Orpheum Salon in Pasadena.  Ask for Vanessa, she's great with layers, side-swept bangs, sexy Victoria's Secret hair, and blowdrying haha.

This was right after I got out.  I was so excited I had to post a camera picture on FB haha.

Here it is after eating dinner with my friend, Allie.  My hair never holds curl, so I knew it would get flat :(

It looks less straggly, woohooo!

Hair issues.

Due to my hair rut, I've been wearing my hair up almost daily.  Not a bad look, but not a great look.

I don't know if you can tell how long my hair is, but it's UP and it's reaching mid-back!  Ugh.

 Please excuse my half-overexposed "bitch face."  Didn't feel like posing haha.

I do enjoy the french braid in the front to keep my greasy bangs out of my face.  Greatest hair idea EVER to whoever thought of it.  But, I can only wear it like that so often to keep the charm of it intact, haha.

I shall take a before and after picture the day I get my haircut :)

 I miss "happier hair" Kristy :(

In a rut.

Don't you hate it when your shampoo stops working for you?

Well, it's finally happened to me after using Redken All Soft for the past, I don't know, 6 months?  So disappointing...

It was the first shampoo and conditioner set that made my hair soft AND shiny without weighing it down, causing buildup, or feeling greasy.  Now, I can't even use it two days in a row without my hair feeling weighed down.  Perhaps it's due to how long my hair has grown?  It's past mid-back now!

Well, I'm going to try and get a haircut within the next few days.  If that doesn't help me... I'm going to have to ditch my former favorite shampoo forever!

Chop-chop.

Necesito un haircut. 

(that is a look of disgust on my face...)

Not sure how short I want to go (or what style I want), but I definitely want to hack off at least 6 inches.  I hate that I never have a good "example" picture of what I want for my hairstylists when I go.

I went to an Aveda salon the last time and really liked it.  For $40, I was very happy, so I think I'm going back there again!
