My first hair style was a hit!

Got tons of compliments from friends and family.

I don't know why I haven't done this sooner. haha

It's definitely a confidence boost.

I have normally just not cared what I looked like day to day.

But that's slowly changing and I couldn't be happier!

When I posted yesterday, I gave a link of how I did the "braided headband" part of my pony tail. Well today, I followed the tutorial 100%. 

If you watch the entire video, I went with option #2.

Enjoy =)

Here is my FIRST hair style!
(I did this yesterday)
I hope you enjoy it like I have. :)
Also, do you like the little "banner" I made? I think it's sweet.
I really think changing how I do my hair everyday will save me from
wanting to get it cut. WOO HOO!

I braid Zoie's hair all the time but definitely need more practice on my own hair.
But it doesn't look too bad. I am very happy with how it turned out.



I used a french braiding style to braid my bangs back.
Then put it in a pony tail.
To learn how I french braided it, watch THIS youtube video.
Same technique.

My hair is definitely not used to being pulled up into a ponytail, 

so about 2 pm, my head started to hurt...

So I took some asprin and told myself to "tough it out!"
Oh and sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures,
my camera memory card is FULL.

For those of you who KNOW me, know that I have LONG hair. 

And I just don't mean long, like below your shoulder... I mean LONG.

It's literally only several inches away from the top of my pants.


(This was May 2011... and my hair was below the middle of my back)

And to be honest, I am quite bored with it.

I'm tempted to get to cut, but I really don't think I could part with much more length.

I love it long. It is so versatile. And it's taken a long time to get it here.

Yeah, yeah. I know. It's just hair.

But I have had my fair share of short hair cuts.

)

Most good, some bad. But I just can't do it now.

So I needed to figure out why I am so bored with my hair!

Pretty sure I figured out why....

Because I wear it the same way EVERY day.

Straight. And it's never really all that straight, I just let it do whatever.

...ZZzzzZzzzZzzz

Boring!

So, I have challenged myself to 30 "days" of different hair styles.
I say "days" because I know there is no way I can do it 30 days in a row.
But I will post THIRTY, different hair styles within a timely matter.
(At most 2-3 months)

Most likely the new hair styles will be on the weekdays when I go to work.

But I am sure I'll come up with some on the weekends.
And just a fair warning... I'm sure a lot of them will be similar.
But they will all technically be different in one way or another.

Hopefully this will get me out of my funk!

Wish me luck!
