The higher the hair...

My hair has changed since I've had Teddy. The ends seem dryer, the color is a little lackluster and handfuls come out in the shower.  This is all normal after having a baby. It just sucks for want of a better word as it was so very lovely when I was pregnant. Oh well.

Usually the first thing I would do when I get sick of my hair is chop as much of it off as possible, but I'm giving myself until the end of the year before I get scissor happy. 

Here are a few styles I've tried out

A little bit of a poof. (how cute is my baby in his moose suit?)

Center part and wavy texture.

Giant bow for Christmas!

Yet another go at the beehive. I really want to get this right.

Straight.

 Middle part Helga Braids

What do you think guys? Shall I chop my bob back? Or just deep condition the heck out of my hair and keep it long?

Summer Curls

The summer in Atlanta is pretty crazy. One minute it's 111 degrees and sunny, the next it's raining like crazy and lightning is striking my friends houses.

 Because of this I've been wearing my hair curly. Nature provided me with a hair texture  that is for want of a better word random, so I use my t3 straightening iron and twist it  because the iron gets hot on the outside of the barrel too.

 My hair is at that in-between stage where it's not quite a bob, but too short to be long yet. Sometimes I've ended up with Betty Boop hair which has been fun.

Lipstick is MAC Liberty of London Collection in "Ever Hip"

Mostly I just pin it up.

I've been looking on pinterest to see if there are some cool things I can learn how to do. I love all these braids

 but my hair is fine and thin, so I've been accessorizing with barrettes and hairbands

Barrette from Anthropologie

and then for days when I really can't be bothered I've just distracted people from my messy hair with red lips and Hello Kitty inspired sunnies! 

Lipstick is Lancome "Valentine",Eye  Liner is Benefit Babe Cake ( I love you and miss you) and glasses were from an independent store called "Psycho Sisters" in Little 5 Points Atlanta

Hooray summer! (Only a little sarcasm was in that)

Strawbaby Blonde.

Every now and again I have the urge to change my hair, but it's never I'll cut off an inch, or dye it one shade darker, I always want the extreme.

So, yesterday my friend and business partner Krystle helped me dye my brown mop strawberry blonde!

My husband was shocked to say the least, and I keep on doing a double take when I see my reflection. But overall I really dig the results! I kinda feel like a comic book hero.

The hardest part about deciding to change your hair color drastically on a whim is that your make up has to change.

When I was a brunette I loved pink or red lips, bronzy cheeks and a dark arched brow, but with my new hair color those choices wouldn't be the most flattering. To update my make up I actually used a lip liner to fill in my eyebrows (oh yeah, Amber Ember by M.A.C) and a more natural color palette overall.

The good news about my new hair is that my eyes look super green, so my go to eye shadow will definitely be "Sumptuous Olive" by M.A.C . I used it as an eyeliner yesterday.

I also wore M.A.C pro longwear eyeshadow in "Carefree",

and Matte squared eyeshadow in "Tete-A-Tint" in the crease

I wore M.A.C "Peachy Keen" blush

and "Prrrr" lipglass (also M.A.C)

If you're a redhead, tell me your favorite make up please :)
