Dressin’ Up the Hair

I tend to wear my hair two ways—down on the day I wash it:

Or bangs pinned back on the days I don’t wash it:

(And I have to admit: the bangs get pinned back even on days when I do wash my hair. It was a lot harder to find a picture with the bangs down than up.)

I used to be really creative with my hair. And then, for some reason, that stopped. So last week, in conjunction with Cheri’s Hair Week at I am Momma, Hear me Roar, I challenged myself to go five days without just pulling my bangs back in a centered pin. I had a lot of fun with it, and Nolan even complimented me one of the days because he liked my hair (unusual!). So here you have a sort of What I Wore: Hair Edition.

Monday: Pinned to the side with a rosette bobby pin.

Bobby Pin: Ruffles ‘n Such

Necklace: Ruffles ‘n Such

Shirt: Gap

Tuesday: A little up in a Waterfall French Braid

I forgot to take pictures until I got in the car. I only did the top portion on one side and liked the way it still got my bangs out of my face but was also a little more interesting than my usual look.

Shirt: Maurices (not that you can see much of it)

Wednesday: A twisted headband

Again, forgot until I was in the car… This one is just a two part French braid. I did it down both sides this time, so it essentially made a headband. Both sides are held in place at the end with bobby pins.

Cardigan: Target
(and I can’t remember what else I was wearing with it…)

Thursday: Oops! No pictures and I can’t remember what I did. I’m guessing I just left it down?

Friday: Waterfall French Braid (again)

It was my friend Mary’s birthday, so Jace and I an another friend and her son had a picnic with Mary followed by a carousel ride and sno cones at River Front Park in Salem. I liked the look from Monday so much I did it again.

Tank: Maurices
Shorts: Kohls

Saturday: Pinned back, but curly!

I was in a hurry to get ready for church after working in our yard all day. But at least I went a little different and wore it curly, right?

Dress: 1.5 Hour Maxi

I wish I could say I challenged myself again this week… but I am getting my hair cut today and I’m soooo excited! I love haircuts! And I made a super cute matching skirt/headband combo for my hair dresser’s daughter and her American Girl Doll since we do haircuts on exchange.

Do you get in a hair rut? How do you help yourself get out of it?
