Mullet No More

Here is evidence of Charly's first (ok, second) haircut. I say second because I trimmed Charly's bangs a while back and shared it in this post. And whoa, those bangs were short. Thank you everyone for not ridiculing me for that one! It was time for another trim of the bangs, but her hair was starting to look pretty mullet-y, too, so a full blown haircut was in order.

Charly's First Haircut

I'd never have guessed that Charly would have a luscious head of hair by her first birthday. Poor girl only had peach fuzz when she was born.

Now, at almost a year, her hair is long enough for pigtails! I decided it was time for a trim when her bangs started looking like this:

Crazy long. And she won't keep a clip in them. The pigtails fare alright, but any clip in her bangs meets and untimely demise. 

The Brush that Changed My Life

Maybe that sounds a little dramatic for a hairbrush, but its true. I have discovered something grand. Somehow they have bred a round brush with a Greek god, and this was born:

I was not blessed with thick or voluminous hair. It is not inordinately thin (did I make that word up?), but it is certainly lacking in volume and substance. I've been growing it out because I need something super low maintenance now that I'm a mom. I thought about chopping it all off (and still might) but decided that since I'd gotten this far in growing it out I should give the longer hair thing a shot. And by longer, I mean shoulder length. The problem is, the longer my not thick hair gets, the more drab and lifeless it seems. It gets tangled, flat, and I get frustrated and end up with a ponytail five days a week.

This pretty much sums up how I felt about my hair.
