I call it a "mom bun" but I think that's still an insult to a bun, and most days I feel like the only disheveled mom at MyGym classes with what can only be described as a five pound weight sitting on my head in the form of a halfway-but-not-all-the-way-through ponytail. The summer makes it all worse and certainly erases any motivation I have to do my hair, so I was finding myself breaking five elastic bands at a time until one held long enough to get me through half a day with my mangled, matted, messy half-bun, half-ponytail of doom. That was a wake up call that long hair -- my long hair -- just wasn't feasible right now.
As the days leading up to my hair appointment went on, I kept telling my husband I was going to shave my head. "That's it, all of it, it's gone." I was totally kidding but the thought was strangely appealing. As usual, I'm the least fashion conscious person on the planet and told my amazing, awesome, fantastic hair stylist to just cut it all off, but keep it a little bit long enough that I can pull the bulk of it up if I need to but no bangs and thinned out anyway possible, choppy layers being totally acceptable and welcomed. Yeah. Still, despite my obnoxiously tall order, my hair stylist pulled through as usual. For the first time ever since I was a kid, I have short hair. And I love it.
If you could have seen the hair that came off my head -- not just from the length cut, but the bulk of it during the thinning out process -- you would understand completely how much better I feel. My hair doesn't feel like I'm balancing a bowling ball on my head anymore and hair bands? Forget it, I can even bobby pin it back if I need to wash my face. I'm totally a convert and proud new member of the short hair club and, you know, it's nice to feel halfway human again.
I think the new cut really suits you!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!
DeleteIt looks great! Love it!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I think it's a great cut!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteLooks great, I suffer from mum-bun most days. I'm not sure I'll cut my hair though it's not lovely and thick like yours!
ReplyDeleteIt's been my strange dream to always have thin hair -- or at least thinner hair! It's kind of crazy to snap a minimum of two hair ties to pull up one ponytail, haha. It looks like my poor son has been "blessed" with my hair, so...good luck in the teenage years, kid.
DeleteLooks great on you. I too used to be a sock bun girl UNTIL of course I cut my hair. Now it's so easy to blow out and style.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! YES!! I'm looking forward to learning to style it on my own now, too! Much less intimidating!
DeleteHOT MAMA!

Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou look BEAUTIFUL Lindsay! I love the new hair! I am absolutely no stranger to the mom bun! In fact LP, has pointed out women with crazy folded over ponys and said things like "LOOK MOM, her hair looks EXACTLY like yours!". Don't you feel a bit better on the inside when you take care of the outside too? xx
