It's All About Being Current

Will the madness ever end? Why do we continue to change our hair? A stylist said to me once that we usually change our hair when we are going through a major change in our lives. So what does that say about ME?...



And these are just a few pictures of the different hairstyles I have sported over the years. Does the obsession start when you are a child or when you are old enough to make decisions yourself? In my case, I think my obsession comes from my mom. She loves to try new styles and colors - perhaps not as often as I do but the switch-it-up attitude must come from her if my father is bald right? My mom loved to play with my (and my sister's) hair when we were kids. Dayna always got the ringlets and I always got the pigtails or Dorothy Hamel look. I was only 11 years old the first time I highlighted my hair. I remember begging my mom to let me do it. You see, my hair was really blonde as a child but it started to get darker at the age of 9. It is amazing how I had an urge at the age of 11 to go back to my blonde days. (There must be a psychological reason in this quest somewhere). In any case, as an adult I have been blonde, red, black, and orange. I have had really short hair and really long hair. Perhaps the madness will end someday, but for right now I must stay current. For right now I must follow my husband's theory of what looks best on me. I will be growing my hair long again....at least for right now.

I must say that I do not like you as a blond (as in the top left hand picture). You were very cute as a blond when you were really young, but not as an adult. You're a pretty brunette now. I think that Maya will be a brunette someday too.

Tammy, these pictures were so fun to look at! You have gone through quite the hairstyles! I thought this post was going to finish off with telling us that you were going to get a new hairstyle, so sharing that you are growing it out was a surprise!

I agree with Glenda...I think the brunette color suits you the best! (Even though I have only known you as a brunette.)
