AGHHHHHH......

If it wasn't for the fact that I was writing this blog, I can tell you now I wouldn't be continuing on this crazy quest for one length hair...

Most of the week has been fine - I've been away on business and so the scrunchy and the clip in pony tail have served me well .... that's not the problem...the problem is:

1.  I'm tired of pulling it back of my face
2.  I can no longer to anything else with it unless it's pinned back in some fashion...

So, at the moment I can:

1.  Put my scrunchy in
2. Wear my clip in pony
3. Part my hair to the side and pin the fringe back

I NEEEEED it to be longer!!!!

This is where I am in the growing stakes - 3 months on:

Before (3rd Jan)



Now: (1st April)


Ok, it looks REALLY bad here (just out of the shower) but you get the picture ... it's definitely growing ... just not fast enough!

Thankfully I AM writing the blog or else ....chop, chop, chop!!!!  :)

Polished & Professional

It's been a great week in the hair department (if not in the work one!!)

I'm finding my hair piece SO helpful with the darker mornings  - you know, I'm having those "it can't POSSIBLY be time to get up" moments on a regular basis - and the thought of blowdrying my hair makes me want to pull the duvet over my head and refuse to get up!!!

It's been great!

2 minutes after I pick up my hairbrush, my hair is looking polished and professional. The fringe is hidden by clipping it back and is now growing well - even if it seems to be taking AGES!! (look out for the photos later)




Hair's looking great - face not so much!!!
Well, it is only 7am!!!!

Little Bit In Love with Scrunchies!

Well, I've finally found a brilliant hairpiece to help with the growing out phase.

One of the problems with growing out your fringe when you hair is my length (medium inverted bob) is that it's not that easy to put into an "up do" without copious amounts of hair sprouting out at the back.  What I needed was a hair piece that would cover them ... and how in love with my scrunchie am I?

Day 3 of the wash cycle (day one and two were great - just parted my hair on the side and clipped my fringe under - perfect) however, it's raining today, we're off bowling and I REALLY didn't want to wash my hair.  Trouble is, there's no way I could have gone a third day without trying it back.

Am LOVING the easy and elegance of this.  As you may have gathered, I am not one for scruffy hair, so growing out my fringe is a real challenge!



Front - fringe twisted around and then using a bobby pin, have simply pinned pointing the clip towards my forehead - this gives extra grip:



And the back looks awesome too !!

I can definitely wear this to work and still feel "put together" ... ...   LOVING IT!!!!!
