I had my hair cut and coloured for the first time in 6 months the other day and I can’t believe how much better it has made me feel!
Before I became a mummy I would have my hair done every 2 months. Since Bob came along it is harder to arrange time and I worry about the money more so it doesn’t happen as often. I think 6 months is some sort of record though!
I have even given up straightening my hair since Bob came along. I worry about how dangerous straighteners are and daren’t use them when she’s around. I do the ‘wash and go’ style which basically means I have a shower, let my hair dry and then hair grip the front sections. I call it ’embracing my inner scruff’.
On the rare occasion that I do straighten my hair it makes me think I should do it more often! It looks much better! On the other hand it is nice to save it for when I am going out/doing something special. When I used to straighten my hair all of the time it never looked any different when I got dressed up.
I do know that I can’t go 6 months between hair appointments again! When the hairdresser brushed my hair I noticed how long my roots were. I also knew how dry the ends of my hair were and I was embarrassed! I came clean and started waffling on about relocating and not knowing which salon to go to. Luckily the hairdresser was lovely and she didn’t kick me out of the salon.
I do panic about the cost of having my hair done though. It seems a lot to spend on myself on a regular basis. I also don’t have a regular salon because of relocating so I don’t feel the pressure to rebook. it would be very easy to let the moths go by and end up looking like a stray cat again. I need to find my perfect salon at a reasonable price.
Rock Pamper Scissors is a great site where you can find local salons, compare prices and get discounts. You can book online and you can also choose who cuts your hair. I am always nervous the first time I to to a salon as I don’t know what to expect. If I had seen photos of the employees and chosen who I would like to cut my hair it would be less scary.
I am not sure how far you can book in advance but I am tempted to book my next appointment now to make sure I don’t leave it too long.
I am beyond jealous at your curls!!
