I dealt with the crisis....

When I look at my last blog post and realize it was in January, I'm a little shocked. February happened at light speed! So, let's talk about February and my hair. Thanks for all the input on what I should do. In the end, I decided to get it colored and cut a few inches off. The cut and color were both good, but the change wasn't dramatic.

This weekend, I went a little more dramatic. Thanks to a recommendation from my sister Cathy, I partook of a Brazilian Blowout! In a nutshell, it's a keratin coating that's put on your hair to make it healthier, less frizzy, softer, etc. So, yesterday I had it done, and I came home with my hair straighter than it's ever been in its life!

The stylist assures me it didn't get rid of my girls, but it will tame them. In the meantime, she used a flat iron and straightened it out section by section. This time the change was dramatic! Oh, and did I mention the streak of purple??? Just a little dream I've had for some time to go to church with purple hair. I'm still a little too conservative to dye it all purple, but the streak is fun!
The fun part is that I didn't get it cut this weekend. This is the cut I've had; it just looks a whole lot different when it's straight.

I don't intend to ever permanently give up my curls - they are too much a part of who I am, but I have to say that the change has been dang fun! And my hair has never felt so soft. Thanks for the encouragement, Cathy!
