HAIR (UP) DATE

long locks are my favorite. 

getting really long locks takes time. which is why when they need a little trim, i almost clinch with every snip of the scissors. but when you have the best hair dresser in town - who also covets long locks, you know your in good hands. 

if your in dallas and are looking for your favorite new hair cut, color and style, let me know!

just a few days ago, i finally had to trim up the ends and get a fresh new shape. 

there's not a huge difference... but to me, cutting off 4inches is a lot! 

which is why i took before and after pictures... 

 ...before...

long, a little stringy and straggly 

...after!!..

still long(ish) fresh and bouncy

i love of a good hair cut, makes you feel better instantly. 

its like the time you spend in the chair has magical powers!

SURPRISINGLY EASY

if my hair is not pulled back for yoga, then i like to take the time and curl it. by nature my hair is wavy, but it needs a little taming and tending to for the most part. lately i was feeling like my curls looked a little too dressy and needed to calm down. i came across this pintrest pin the other day and thought i would give it a go. 

i LOVE the outcome and wanted to share the how-to with my lovely readers. 

**side note: i didn't use the exact same products listed in the tutorial, just similar and i left the curls in the bun more like 30-40 minutes. 

Long Locks

I am almost ashamed to say it's been over a year since I had my last hair cut.. BUT, I  love my lock locks and even with the dead-ends it was hard for me to part with them. Until yesterday. My fabulous friends Team Hatchell both see the same amazing stylist at TRU SALON in Dallas and sent me her way. She's a total hair Rock Star!  I wanted to keep the locks as long as possible, but add more curl and bounce- She totally made it happen!!

(If you want my stylist info.. email me.. she's amazing!!)
