For the Love of Messy Hair

Well, today is my Monday, and after being off for the past week, that whole "washing your hair" thing just didn't happen this morning.  If you were to ask the beau or any of my friends, they could tell you how much I LOATHE washing my hair.  Dry shampoo is my best friend.  Right now, my favorite is Dove's Refresh+Care Invigorating Dry Shampoo.  It smells like heaven in a can.  I'm all about the messy hair, so today I'll share with you some of my favorite messy/dirty hair do's!

Add a headband or scarf!

Or a worn-in hat!

Now, there's a difference in dirty and greasy!  That's what the dry shampoo is for.  Give it a little tease to give it some more mess and texture, and your pretty much good to go.  It's hard to go wrong with a messy hair do.  

Also, did you know that washing your hair every day is actually BAD for it?  It strips all the good, natural oils from your scalp, and then your body produces excess oil to make up for it giving you GREASY hair.  To be really honest, while I do bathe every day, I only wash my hair 2 or 3 times a week.

Let me know which dirty do you decide to rock this week!

Miley's New Blue Do

Blah, blah, blah...it's Monday...

Just kidding!  What better way to start off a new week, fresh and ready to go, than with a new hairstyle??  Now, y'all know how much I love Miley.  Girl is ROCKING another new hair do, and it's BLUE!  I know the pastel look isn't everyone's cup of tea.  I could never do it because of school and work, but I do love it.  Kelly Osborne rocks her lavender locks, too.

Check out some of my favorite strangely colored strands

What do y'all think??

Haircut Blues

Saturday afternoon, it hit me like a ton of bricks.  It's something I've been dreading, but knew it was inevitable.  It was only a matter of time.  As we were getting in the car to go shopping, my best friend, Grace, broke the news to me (without regard for my feelings I might add). I have outrageous split ends going on all over my head.

To be really honest with y'all, I'm TERRIFIED of cutting my hair.  Five years ago, right before my high school graduation, I cut 12+ inches off of my hair and donated it to Locks of Love.  "Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis."  While they are an incredible organization, it didn't take long for me to realize that I HATED having short hair.  Due to the long period of growing out my hair again and hating the way it looked, I became extremely skittish of the shears.  "Hair-rexic" if you will...

I've had probably 5 hair TRIMS total since then.  (I know that's absolutely horrendous.)  As you can imagine and have seen on the blog, my hair is quite long and has become quite unhealthy.  So I'm biting the bullet and cutting off some length.  It's time to get some shiny, healthy, undead ends on this head of mine!

Tomorrow I shall give my favorite salon in Hattiesburg, Posh by Shane, a call.  If you're in the area, I HIGHLY suggest any of the stylists there.  It's the best experience I've ever had at a salon in my almost 23 years.  Here are some styles I'm considering:

This cut is in the lead.

I'm thinking lots of layers!  What do y'all think?
