So…let’s talk hair today.
A few weeks ago, I decided it was high time I found someone to cut/style my hair here in El Paso.
I mean, we have been here for a year and a half and will be here a while longer and my hair was driving. me. crazy!
I remembered a friend of mine mentioning that she would a hairdresser and salon she really liked right before moving away, so I called this salon and made an appointment for yesterday.
And then I got serious about researching a new, fresh hair cut.
I decided to go short.
For several reasons…
I wanted something new.
It’s hot in El Paso and long, thick, hair makes it extra hot.
I’m beyond tired of cleaning my hair out of our shower drain…yuck!
Did I mention that it’s really hot in El Paso?
So, I made a Pinterest board and started pinning short, curly hairstyles that I really liked.
For the first time ever, I went into a hair appointment armed with an idea of what I wanted and pictures to so it.
And I’m so excited with the results!!!!
Here’s a before picture I took right before leaving for my appointment yesterday.
My hair was at one of the longest lengths it’s ever been.
The thing about curly hair is that stylists really don’t know what to do with it. It has taken me a long time to know exactly what to do with my curly hair myself, so I let my hairdresser style it straight knowing that I would do it curly today.
My kids were very concerned that my hair wouldn’t be curly anymore if I cut it short. I promised them this wouldn’t be the case.
Here’s an after shot of what I looked like after having it cut.
It’s such a fun cut!
I do often switch from wearing my hair curly and straight, and I think this cut will work well with both.
And here we are this morning after I’ve styled it myself. (excuse the lipstick on my teeth…that has been taken care of now)
Yay for a much cooler, easier and fun hair cut for the summer and beyond!!
If you’d like to check out my Pinterest board of hair styles, here it is.
When’s the last time you went for a new hair style?

Cutest haircut EVER!!!!!! I’ve always loved your hair. The color, the curls. But this new length is just SO cute!
Monica says
Thanks, Amy!!!
I just finished reading your post about your super busy summer this morning. And…wow….kudos to you, girl…I’m officially tired after reading all about it! But you sure know how to enjoy your family and I admire that so much about you. Can’t wait to hear baby news! 🙂
Monica says

I LOVE it! So beautiful on you, and it’s great that you can wear it straight or curly. I wish my hair had a little more curl to it.
Pat says
I think you look beautiful whatever length your hair is but I really like the straight short look on you.

I think it looks great! It was very pretty before but I love the shorter look as well. My hair is curly too but not as curly as yours. I like mine better when its shorter. The curls seem to do better and not get weighed down. It took me almost my whole life to figure out how best to style it.
