I'm Growing My Hair Out

I've always wanted to grow my hair out and donate it, and I decided 2013 will be the year. My hair is the longest it's ever been, so I'm going to hang in there and grow it out a little longer, and then chop it all off - eek! It really is quite long, and it's constantly getting tangled and in my way (how do the Amish girls do it?!). I've been looking for ways to keep it up and out of my face, and below is my inspiration so far. Have a great weekend! xx

Hair Inspiration

I am terrible at fixing hair. The last time I had to fix my hair beyond the daily 'do was when I was in college and attended the Air Force Academy ring dance. I flew out to Colorado with my J. Crew gown in tow and spent the next afternoon getting ready for the dance. I remember walking into the bathroom, closing the door, and then just standing there looking in the mirror. I was in such a panic! I remember thinking, get a grip! I can't go to this dance with my hair down and frizzy! After who knows how long, I finally started curling and pinning. My hair ended up fine, and we had a great night. Since then I've stuck to a simple hair routine, or have opted for others to fix my hair for special occasions. My new goal is to spice up my hair a little, and these photos are inspiring me. (Click on the link above each picture for the how-to.)
