New Hair Do!

Okay, I did have a post up and then I accidently deleted it...so this take number two.

On Tuesday 18th, I got a new do...the boys also had a trim.

I knew from Jazz asking me every day for weeks on end when we were getting a hair cut, that I was over due but, it wasn't until I took the below pic that I realised how badly I needed it.  Hmmm given that my bestie gave me a not so subtle hint last week, I should have though hey LOL...Biartch!

Anyway, as is usually the case in winter, I was well and truly over the blonde. So, the plan was to do something a little left of centre...to spice things up a tad.

BUT, it didn't work and that night I went to bed feeling what I can only describe as disappointed.  Admittedly, I was already somewhat emotional after a day of counselling friends, a misunderstanding with Mum, and rushing around to get Mark to his chiro appointment.  Bottom line though, was I didn't like it!  

I think it was due to a combination of reasons.  One, because I have grown fond of my curls and didn't like the blowdryed style (although I did like the warmth of the hairdyer), I don't mind it straight, but the hair straightening kind of straight.  Two, because I was expecting that wow factor and instead got 'brown'.

Anyway, the next day I washed it and let it dry naturally (apart from my bangs) and it grew on me a little more (no pun intended LOL).

Funnily enough, last night my Mum actually complimented me and said it was the nicest she has seen my hair look in quite a while.  Glenn agreed saying that it was better than the bright red; a colour I actually love!  Mark and the boys however, are on the fence...I think they were also disappointed given I had shown them the pic of what I was hoping for.

It isn't a reflection on the hairdresser by the way, as I think she has done a good job overall...I just really wish I could of had something 'different'...I guess I do, just not the different I was expecting.

Either way really, it looks much better than it did, so for that I am very thankful!

I am going to give it a few more days and if it still doesn't spark the kind of joy I want to feel then I will throw through a packet colour...probably a deep dark auburn!

Anyway as the quote above says, at the end of the day it doesn't matter what the hair looks like it is all about self confidence.

So with that in mind...here is me, smiling anyway!

P.S.  How do you 'get over' the disappointment of expecting one thing, but getting another?  I'm leaning towards the thought pattern that perhaps it just wasn't meant to be!
