before and after

This is the way nature intended my hair, and sadly the way it looks most days.


Here's my hair (and a crazy-lady smile) thanks to the magical flat iron. I only look this sexy (see August post--sorry I'm too ignorant to do a link) once a week. Or month.


Beauty is pain, as my friend Rachel used to say. I'm itching to cut my hair short again. But then I'll be griping about having to get it cut every four weeks. Sigh. Why didn't I inherit my mother's gift for cheerfully getting up at 5:30 to beautify? Damon's right. I'm not much of a girl (see April post).

Mine looks something similiar if I don't round brush it or curl it with a curling iron. Blast our hair. Either long or short you are beautiful. Maybe when it is short Jake can cut it for you?

LL said...

no way. I LOVE IT!
although, you wear short hair better than anyone I've known, but I love it long.

Cute! I like your hair short and long. Hey--we're coming your way in November. Are you guys going to be around?

Barker Family said...

Very Cute!! I love the hair.

Charlotte said...

LD and LL and Shannon, you're fabulous to say so.

Shannon, have you gone private?

lissyfarnz, I lost your email but I want an invite to your blog. We will be going to St. George in Nov. When are you going to be here? I'd love see you!

Wendi said...

wow--your hair does look sexy straightened! I don't have any patience with my hair. I hate that I have to highlight it! Stupid stupid gray hair.

Hey, Charlotte! Of course I can send you an invite. Where should I send it?

We'll be there Nov. 14-Dec. 1. Will that overlap with you at all? It would be great to get together.

So Charlotte, if I could pull off short hair like you can I would chop it in a second. Oh, and Layne would absolutely freak...(not in a good way.)

If you like your hair straight you need to ask Jenny Jo about this amazing, wonderful thing she does to my hair about every 6 months! It's AWESOME! Seriously, it has cut my get ready time in half!

Charlotte my hair is the same way! I just try to go as long as I can without washing my hair after I use a flat iron. I HATE doing my hair. Just keep it long enough that you can pull it back in a ponytail on other days. But you do look great with short hair too. Uugghh... it's not easy being a woman!!

Wow - Charlotte I must say you really look absolutely fantastic. Your hair looks great straight but you are amazing regardless of the time you spend on your hair:)

LOVE this look! I have always been jealous of your ability to look fabulous with short hair too (not many can do that). BTW - Love your perspective on life. Thanks for sharing!
