Hair cut

I never understood why women always cut their hair after they had babies. I loved my long hair and I swore I wouldn't be like everyone else and cut mine too...

Then I had a baby. All of the sudden I felt like I got it-it was just always in the way! Smothering the poor little baby while nursing, sticking to me as I got sweaty and frazzled from a crying baby in public, constantly being pulled by the little guy, and finally just being put in a pony tail most days.

But I figured I would regret it if I cut it and so I kept it long. Then it all started falling out, and my once thick, thick hair felt thin and lifeless. And almost nine months after having my little baby I just knew I needed a change.  Because my hair had just changed and it just isn't the same hair I had before I had a baby. (Also helping in the convincing process was when I saw Conda on Biggest Loser, and even though I don't like her I loved her haircut.) So...that was the long explanation to say that I now get it. And I cut it.

Chel! I LOVE it! You could rock any hair, though. Weird to see you without long hair, but based on your description of life w/ a baby and long hair I think you made a good decision :)

So cuuuuuuuute! I love it! You totally rock it. And I laughed when I read your Conda comment because I thought the same thing when I saw her hair!

Ok so you didn't say whether or not you are loving it-- I hope you are!!! It was fun to be able to do a fresh style and of course was fun hanging with you guys!

It is always so nice to have a change every once in awhile. And it is way hard to keep long hair with a little baby, especially in the summer. and p.s. I totally agree, i'm not a big Conda fan, but couldn't believe how cute her hair looked :)

I love your new hair Chel! I cut mine for all the very same reasons you listed. It's true--hair is just not the same post baby. You look sooo cute!

Looks so cute! I hope you like it - I know you were always apprehensive about it...but I agree, it's just easier and more practical with little ones around.
