Short and Sassy
So for a while now, well ever since summer started, I’ve been wanting to get my hair whacked off. As the celebrities start going on their vacations and as I started reading the blogs this summer, I started noticing a trend. Everyone is chopping their hair off. It is like “the trend” right now. This of course gave me the desire even more so to get my hair chopped as well.
I started growing my hair out in 2004 when I found out I was pregnant with my first-born, p-nut. I knew growing it out while I was pregnant would be easy because your hair grows faster while your “knocked up” due to all of the excess hormones. And sure enough, when I gave birth to my son my hair was half way down my back and I started letting it grow when it was chin length. It typically takes years to get that much growth.
Well now 3 years later and 1 month post partum, It is time for a change again. I just had my second son which is a completely new chapter in my life, now I am more in love with my husband than I’ve ever been, I am a work from home mom now, and I feel that I should have a new look for this new “lifestyle” of mine.
I presented the idea to my mother at the beginning of June. My original plan was to have it done when my husband and I are supposed to have a renewing of our vows ceremony at the end of the month near our birthdays. Well due to having to shell to $2500 for a new transmition for our car, we will more than likely have to postpone our renewal due to lack of moo-lah. It sucks but really I don’t need a big ceremony to renew our vows. I love hubby and a couple vows isn’t going to make me feel more “in love” with him. I didn’t have a big wedding, I didn’t even buy a wedding dress, it just isn’t that big of a deal to me. I’m shy, remember, I have issues. Anyways, I decided to get it done Saturday while my Mom was visiting for the weekend. We had tons of fun and while I was getting my hair chopped she could watch all 4 kids.
The trip to the salon went really well. The boys were perfect angels. No fits or fighting at all. I was very surprised.
Here is the hair before the makeover…
The stylist kept asking me, “are you sure you want it that short?”. Everyone asked me that several times. “Sheesh, Yes I am sure”!
So the cutting begins…
Wow, my head fills lighter. LOL. I had alot of hair!!! Are you ready to see the finished product…
When the boys saw me walking up to the front to pay. They were all like “Wow, that is really short!!!” “Your hair is pretty, Hegar.” I asked pnut if he liked my hair to which I received a response around “Yes, I do, MaMa”. Awww. Approval from the crew, now it is time to go surprise hubby at work!!!
Hubby really LOVES the new ‘do! He says it reminds him of when we first started dating. He was never a real big fan of the big, sexy hair. He said it always go in the way and I’m sure he was tired of seeing me in a ponytail day in and day out.
The bean slept the whole time. He missed all of the action. But when he woke up, he had plenty to say about Mommy’s new hair. I had him in my wrap, he was just looking at me and cooing all kinds of compliments about the haircut. I like the short hair because now the bean isn’t constantly grabbing big handfuls and pulling it out.
So which hair do the readers like? Short & Sassy? or Long & Sexy??

I love the new ‘do! Wish my hair could be done like that, but its naturally curly and would frizz up in a heartbeat!
By the way the babys face filled out, he looks so much like Pnut now in those pics!

I agree w/ everyone else - Both ‘dos look great…but I’ve always been a fan of long hair. Although, now that I see how cute yours is, I suddenly have the fever to get mine cut…we’ll see whether or not I actually do it!!!
On a side note, you told me once before the name of the blog that you used before you got your own domain. What was it, again? I’m thinking of starting my own b/c Myspace is a little limited. Plus, then I could do the PayPerPost that seems to be working so well for you! (I would love to have that extra money on the side!)

I think short do’s are great for the summer. I’ve worn my hair around my chin before I hacked it off to go natural. My hair being short, drove me crazy. My hair now is the same length of your new do, if I got it pressed. I like long because if you’re having a bad hair day you can throw it in a ponytail, if it’s short what can you do? I’m currently growing my hair out, that’s why I’m natural. I want to see how long it can actually get without putting chemicals in it. I can’t wait to get preggy, it’s gonna be growing like that *snaps fingers*.
You are one hawt mama Hegar, lol. Aww at the bean cooing compliments. You look great!

I love both, but short looks very fresh and young. You are beatiful either way.
