http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/10145  I had some of my women friends over last night and noticed a common topic and interest. Hair. Women are nuts about their hair. We're like birds building a nest with all the time, thought and product involved. We wax, buzz, trim, shave, laser off some areas... but dye, fluff, condition, and lovingly grow other parts. It makes no logical sense. Do men really care that much about women's hair? Not as much as other women. I'm not immune to this pandemic. I color, tweeze, and hack just like the rest of us. I also surf the net frequently for hair I like. I try to grow it long, I really do! But I have... a... what's the word? LIFE! Lack of a swat team who's full time job is to make me look like a Raphaelian Goddess. I'm busy and hate spending a lot of time on my hair. I also don't really like the feeling of hair all over me (in my face specifically.) My husband claims not to care, and as I had short hair when we met, I feel he knew what he was getting into up-front. My hair is also very straight and pretty thin, so once it gets a certain length, I just pin it up all the time anyway. My hair has of-late gotten to the annoying length and I decided to whack it. I took the above picture to my hairdresser, but all I got was a trim and a little layering. I'm not posting pictures cause I'm not 100% sure I'm keeping it as-is. I may ask my stylist friend to have another go. I have ALWAYS admired women like Anne Lennex (pictured here) who are beautiful women who just let their face take center stage. They say "To hell with it!" for one reason or another and hack it all away. I think she looks beautiful and if I lost 800lbs (and looked as hot as her), I may consider it. (Though I did have my hair this short, and white once as a teen. A VERY thin teen.) This is my dream hair. I think most women would agree. If I could wave a magic wand, drink a potion, swallow a pill, give up a goat... well, you get the idea. This would be my hair. But would it even look good on me? I doubt it. I think you just work with what you've got, be happy you have hair at all, and move along with your day. At the end of it, I'd rather be with my girlfriends, drinking wine on my patio than at the salon any day of the week!  I had some of my women friends over last night and noticed a common topic and interest.

LOL! Really? I hardly noticed. I felt that way about Anne and how amazing her skin looks. http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/10145/#c_84573 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/10145/#c_84573 LOL! Really? I hardly noticed. I felt that way about Anne and how amazing her skin looks. I too have always wished I could pull off a super short look, but I know myself too well. I'd be super lazy and not get it trimmed. I'd be fine, but it would drive my friends batty. :) http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/10145/#c_84584 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/10145/#c_84584 I too have always wished I could pull off a super short look, but I know myself too well.

I mean that as a compliment! http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/10145/#c_84585 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/10145/#c_84585 You'd look like a really cute elf. Especially in a green dress! I mean that as a compliment! I've had pixie hair, medium hair and long luxurious locks.  I always end up putting it  a pony tail or twist no matter what the style. (O.K., couldn't twist the pixie.) I've tweaked it all my life, but  realized my God given hair was appropriate when I straightened my hair a year ago and did not recognize myself.  I like my curly hair! Now about the gray that's sneaking in... http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/10145/#c_84588 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/10145/#c_84588 I've had pixie hair, medium hair and long luxurious locks.  I always end up putting it  a pony tail or twist no matter what the style.

Now about the gray that's sneaking in... I hear you theurbanmom. I'm not QUITE ready for the grey. And yes, my years of perming to give myself curly hair are over. I've embraced the thin, straight part of it all. http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/10145/#c_84592 http://www.sacmomsclub.com/home/Blog/creatress/10145/#c_84592 I hear you theurbanmom.
