Evolution of Hair (in only 18 months time)

So last night I was going through old photos on the computer and reminiscing over the last year.
I mean it's been a crazy ride since Caleb was born.
Lot's of change.
Lot's of adjustment.
And apparently a lot of hairstyles.
In fact I found myself becoming more and more amused with the extremely different haircuts and colors I have done in only an eighteen month span. I know I like to change my look, but I've never been this versatile in such a short amount of time.
So for my own amusement (and yours) I'm posting the pictures.

I neglected my appearance throughout the entire Caleb pregnancy, and this fine mess was the result.

My attempt at sprucing up my hair and saving on money led me to dying it blond all by myself. It's not the worst job I've done, but definitely not great.

The baby blues were hard, especially with a sick baby and lots of appointments and mountains of stress.

So when Cyndee came for a visit in July she treated me to a cut and color, and this was the result.

Two months later I found myself wandering a Sally's Beauty Supply, trying to come up with another self beauty treatment to cover my dark roots. In the process I struck up a conversation with the lady working there and asked for advice.

Her advice?

"You need to go dark, because your blond hair shows all your blemishes and isn't very flattering for people, especially since it's fall, dark is in when it's fall."

I fell for her bullying and went dark.

Another two months went by and I found myself approaching Caleb's heart surgery date.

Complete nerves.

So what did I do to calm them?

Of course, I cut my hair.

I love short hair.

I kept telling myself that when I lost all the baby fat I would chop my hair off.

So when that day came I did it.

The move to Arizona.

Every time I'm around my family and I have dark hair I get tons of mentions about how good I look with blond hair.

Well since I was getting crazily shaggy with my pixie cut I decided to trim it up and go blond.

Last but not least.
The most current look to date.

More blond, more bangs. I could be five again.

After writing this post I realize that I have no right to be irritated with people when they don't recognize me. Seriously. It's amazing my children aren't confused yet.
