Look of the Day: Hair Tales

I like to keep track of things. I like to note, remember and record thing. More often then not, in notebooks, hence the name of my blog. Recently, utilizing my camera has added some depth to this habit of mine. One thing I have keep good track of when I get my hair done.
I like to see how my hair looks when I get it done, so I can attempt to imitate the look, and keep track of cuts/colors I like. I am lucky that one of my best friends also is my current hair stylist and she takes great care of my baby fine hair. She came over tonight and did my hair in my kitchen. During which, we chatted and snacked on carrots, peppers, asparagus and hummus. The end result was just perfect! Highlights that are very subtle but still make me feel blonde, and really short trim, as I am in the "growing out" phase.
And some past looks.
Please tell me someone else does this...
Curly Q
Short and sweet
Banging
Goldilocks
On the Dark Side
Yay for friends, veggies and highlights!

  7. Amber I definitely take pictures of myself after a hair cut. I've got unruly curly hair and pictures help me remember which cuts I liked (and didn't like) and inspires me to recreate them.

    I'm with the other ladies, I LOVE your hair with bangs and the soft blonde color. The 4th pic down, white cable-knit shirt, I think your hair looks great that way. I love the bangs, the cut, the color and the flat-ironed straight style. And I like your current cut & color too!!

  8. You are so cute, and I totally know what you mean! In the past year my hair has been blonde, auburn and brown..and now back to blondeish, but still has a reddish hue I feel like will never go away (the auburn was a mistake). I love the bangs look on you!

  9. Thanks for the feedback ladies. The woopy bang picture looks good there when someone else did my hair but I was never able to make it look as good as it did in that picture.

    The banging bangs I may bring back if I get my hair back to that length. But I have been growing out my bangs along with my hair, so we shall see. I did love that look, but the only thing that bothered me was there was not much variation when you have bangs like that.

    I had it cute SUPER short but I was not a fan and for some reason did not take one of these pictures. I wish I did because I can't believe how short I had it.

  13. This is such a great idea! You've inspired me to do it. As much as I play with color, I should be documenting the process.
