So, as I have mentioned before it is HOT here! I have long hair and I love my long hair. I would never cut it. Okay, that’s a lie I would cut it but I love it long and so does Michael. He tells me if I cut it then that’s bait and switch…haha. He also says this about my hair color.
I spend the majority of my summers with my hair up. It is hot and as a lady with my hair down I glisten more. Yes, glisten. Ladies of the south do not sweat we glisten. I am not good at doing my hair. In fact, I stink at doing my hair. I have long, thin, straight hair. Unless I let it air dry and I have a nappy wave in my hair. That style is so not cute except when I am on the beach, and then it is fun. So, how do I normally do my hair? Pigtail braids or a bun. Sometimes I get fancy and do my old school “princess leia” look. Not the name I would have picked, see below, but someone nicknamed it that in school.
Did I mention I stink at doing my own hair? People always try and tell me how easy doing their own hair is and I laugh because I am a fool when it comes to my own. My cousin, my hairdresser/friend, and even a few friends always tell me how easy and fun my hair is to play with, and I just let them. I will let anyone play with my hair. You want to do my hair, go ahead and style away. I watch very eagerly when people do my hair and then I will try it later. It will end in failure each and every time.
With that, I have been trying new things. First, I love doing my hair wet in the summer. It keeps me cooler. The pigtail braids are perfect for wet hair and easy, hence why I do it a lot. A friend told me that some say braids are old fashioned (even though she likes them). Well I must be super old fashioned because I love them in the summer. Here are a couple NEW ways I am doing my hair this summer. Please note I do these on my own and take my own pictures. Please excuse the random bobby pins that happen to be sticking out. The pictures pointed those out and I pushed them back into hiding.
This style I wore to a party for Michael’s work.
I did this one for fun one day when it was blazing outside and I was bored.
I still wear my hair like that some days too! ;)
