New 'Do

Prior to my wedding in May 2009, I (along with what seems like every other bride to be!) grew out my hair. Now, to some, this might not seem like a big deal at all. However, just ask my stylist Sue and she'll fall into to the fetal position and whimper because she's the one who has to deal with blow drying, highlighting, and maintaining my thick, coarse, unruly mane. That being said, she loves me so much that I even got my own sign outside her salon the week of my wedding (and check out the lonnnnng hair!).

Then, because my stylist Sue loves me so much, she opened up her salon on the Monday after my wedding to chop off all the hair. I think she may have been more excited than I was! Sadly, I was just under 2 inches too short for Locks of Love but nevertheless, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders! We took it to right around shoulder length and that's where I've been hanging out ever since.

That is until today. I've been getting sick of the blah color I had going on (read: mousy brown from the lack of sun in the winter months!) accompanied by the side swept, bang shoulder length bob I 'd been rocking. I asked for a slight change and that's what I got... a bit more highlights, no more bangs (they need to grow out a smidgen more before they'll be perfect and less bang like) and a slightly inverted bob with some layering to lighten things up.

Please forgive the crummy Blackberry picture - It's only right that as a pro photographer I provide you with a decent picture so I promise that when Mr. TL comes home, I'll have him snap a REAL one ;)

So... what do ya think?! I'm digging it! I can still pull half up in those hot summer months and no longer have to worry about sweaty forehead bangs (you know the look!).
