Sweet Yet Sour

Mom Hair

Monday, July 7th, 2008 | Mom Stuff

Now that I am a mom, I had to drag my hair kicking and screaming with me.

For a long time I have had long hair.  It’s been nice, but I can’t deal with it anymore.  My hair, although fine, is heavy.  With the summer heat and the fact that somedays I don’t have time to shower and thus, my hair gets oily, I made the decision to kick the long hair to the curb.

I went to see my lovely hair dresser, whom I hadn’t seen since I was 8 months pregnant.  I showed her lots of pictures of Anna and then we got down to the business of cutting my hair.  She gave me a lovely short little bob, with layers, and at the end pronounced, “Now you have Mom hair.”

Crap.  I didn’t really want my hair to say ” I am a mom”.  Does this mean that when I go out in public people will look at me and say, “She must be a mom, she has Mom Hair”?

Oh well, I guess I’ll deal with Mom Hair.  It’s short and off my neck, which is cooler during the summer.   Here’s a picture, which was taken the day of the cut.

This is probably the last time it will look this nice, since it involves a round brush and dryer to get to this stage.  If I don’t have time to shower, when I am going to have time to dry and primp my hair?
