My Life as Mama Jodi

I went and got it cut this morning. What do you thnk?
I had to go out and buy a flat iron, so I can get my hair flat and smooth. I have so much wave/curl in the back. I have never used a flat iron before, this will take some getting used to for sure.

I colored my hair this morning. I went from a red head to a brunette. Its darker than what I thought it would be, but I am good with it. I also want to get my hair cut. I think I found the style I want to go with too.

I spent a little time today at the store going through hair magazines only to grab the “First” as I seen a cute style I like, and the mag was cheaper than the hair ones, and had so much more in the mag for me to read.

What do you think, cute or no?

This past Thursday I got the afternoon off unexpectedily. So I went to lunch with my hubby, then stopped to get my eyebrows waxed and decided at the last minute to get my haircut. I told her I wanted some layers in it as its just to thick to keep it all one length, but do NOT touch the length! She said she would leave the length. NOT… its just as short as the last time the other place cut my hair! Grrrrrrrr I don’t have to worry about it being thick now. There just isn’t any hair left. I should have told her to just thin it out for me.

I will not be getting my haircut ever again! Now for it to grow back! I had to come home and wash it real fast (so I could get back to school to get Trent) as I hate the hair products they put in my hair. It made my hair all greasy looking, and I couldn’t stand that!

This is what it looked like last week. I have the sides pulled back in clips, so you can’t see how full the sides were, but you can see the length.

And a couple of views of the new cut. I can’t pull the sides up in clips now, even if I wanted to, there are too many short pieces! I colored it this past week to, prior to getting it cut, so its a little darker, as I was tired of the red again. I can never make up my mind.

When you get that “bug” to change your hair, why can’t you just ignore it? LOL So last weekend I decided to color it. I did like the color I had, but just wanted a change. This is the color I started with.

Then went to this. Not too keen on the darkness. While it is my natural hair color, it had been so light for so long, I think it is more of a shock than anything.

Then today I decided I wanted to get some layers. So off to the beauty salon. I have a few pics of what I liked, just didn’t want to loose the length I had. I have really thick hair and had her thin it as well. When all said and done this is what I ended up with. I am not to happy with it, but there is nothing I can do about it now. By the time fall is here, it should have grown out some. The only plus is that it is so much lighter!
