Air dried morning of May 1, 2013...today. |
I am not sure {and probably won't decide until I'm sitting in the chair} just how short I will go. It's been growing for several years and honestly, I did not realize it was as long as it is until Alyssa took a picture on my phone this morning...funny.
I've had it many different lengths over the years. It seems like major transitions in length have taken place prior to major life events:
From long {mid-back} to shoulder length before I got married...{I went in for a trim..hahaha}
From shoulder length to VERY short, right after having Zach, 23 years ago. {That was a shock for Mark...}
Top pic: 1990 {Zach was 6 months; his 1st road trip and the photo is 5 generations ... my great-grandmother's 82nd birthday} Bottom pic: 1996 {I let my hair grow into a "wedge style"} |
Then, I let it grow out into a "wedge style"...I really liked this style, but I was a LOT younger then and could carry it off. {The down side to this was I had to style it everyday to make it straight...and it was doable because I only had Zach then...}
I had my hair cut into a wedge style again from Austin's birth to my 25th birthday. {See above middle pic for the pre-cut length. 1996} Then the bottom pic in the 1st set shows the length it grew back to at the time of Logan's birth {2000}.
Then I started letting it grow back out. I had it just past my shoulders when Logan was born and let my natural curl rule.
Top pic: 2004 - Alyssa at 1 year, my hair had grown to bottom shoulder length.
Bottom pic: 2006 - Graham at 1 week and hair is just a bit longer in length.
Top pic: 2007 - 1 day after Kailynn's birth {not pictured}; now my hair is mid-back
Bottom pic: 2009 - Liz at 1 day young; hair is slightly longer than above.
2012 - Carolyne {my hair is now to the bottom of my back}
So, I guess it's taken about 6-7 years to get it from that length to this one.
I'll share the "LATER" shot after I get it done. We'll see in a few hours. ;D
Blessings ~
I love playing around with my hair too!
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to come stop by and say hi, but I haven't been online too much since the baby was born. I think about you every time I put one of the onesies you bought Ashlyn on her. I wanted to stop by and tell you again what a HUGE blessing you were to me while I was pregnant!! You were the only person who did anything for me and I will never forget your kindness. It is usually me who does for others so it was really a blessing for me to be on the receiving end. Thank you!!
I love your hair cut by the way!! :) I hope all is well with you and your family. I would love to hear how y'all are doing if you ever have time. Our email address is quinnfamily00@yahoo.com
