Changes

With all the change we have had the last few months (moving, Teancum starting Sunbeams, Jacob walking, expecting another baby ect.) I decided it was time for one more major change...My hair. So while I was visiting my parents this last week I headed to Toni and Guy (thanks mom for splitting the cost so I could get a really good haircut).

Not the best picture...but it shows how long my hair was before my haircut



When I got to the solon I still had no idea what I wanted other than getting my length chopped off. Kenny (my stylist) was excited right of the bat and sold me on cuting my hair short and layered. His excitement was definitly contagious and he did a wonderful job with both the cut and the style. The funnest 2 hour haircut I have had for sure. I do wish I had gotten a picture of the way Kenny styled it, as I can't quite replicate it. This is my favorite way to do my hair.



Things I love about my new hair:


1. It takes me half an hour to get ready in the morning...This includes shower, get dressed, dry hair, fix hair, do makeup...the works.



2. I love playing with my hair and feeling how short it is in the back.



3. It never gets tangled...the end of snarls



4. I can flip it out for a flirty do, or curl it under for a more reserved look... Kenny said I could do

it curly too and it would look cute, but I havn't tried it yet.


5. It doesnt' take too much to revive my hairdo after sleeping on it


6. It looks decent if I let it dry by itself


7. It brings out my facial structure



8. I feel cute, a definite plus as my tummy gets bigger.

I really, really like it! It is a very flattering style. I'm trying to figure out how to cut mine and I'm tempted to go very short, but scared too!
And congratulations on #3! Jolena just told me.

You look BEAUTIFUL!!!! I'm so glad that you had a good experience while going short...It can be tough to get a stylist to do a good job, and boy did he ever!!!

I LOVE it! You look super cute with that style. I chicken out every time. And that's so exciting that you're having another baby!

Kirsten!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new haircut. Sorry if this post is old-but I haven't been on your blog in a while. We just moved back to Waco-so I'm touching base with all of my old friends-including you! Sad you aren't here any more, but it sounds like ya'll are enjoying a new adventure. I totally dig your hair-always keep it this length. It's perfect. :) Hope you're feeling well! Congrats on the pregnancy!
