Growing It Out!

Growing It Out!

For the past year, I’ve been working to perfect my wedding hair. The main goals: length and color. Achieving the right length hasn’t been a terribly hard process—I mean, growing your hair out involves doing nothing at all. The biggest part is the time investment. I have definitely noticed an increase in the amount of time it takes to wash, style and blow-dry in the morning. All in the name of bridal beauty, right?

Overall, Step One was the most dramatic: going from blonde-ish to a rich brown.

Next was letting it GROOOOOOOW….

I seriously wish I had tracked my hair growth more than these two photos. The comparison is fun!

So, what’s my point? Well, aside from tracking change and progress I’m having this lingering thought: after all this hard work I’m second guessing a wedding day up-do. All this long, lovely, lush hair and I’m still yet to find a style I’m completely sure about? Remember this? And this? Perhaps I’m just having some hairy anxiety. To assuage my bridal brain I’ve set up yet another hair trial.

Think I can pull it off? Did you have a hair related freak out?

Ha, I sure did! I thought I knew for months what I wanted my hair to look like, but after my trial, I wasn’t in love, so I ended up paying the money to go back for a second trial too. It’s definitely worth it. You won’t regret it.

I’ve been growing my hair out, and it’s hard, because I tend to stick to chin-length hairstyles. FI really likes it this long (down to my shoulders), but it’s really fine, so having length means it will be flat. I’m also second guessing my hairstyle…. debating on a second hair trial… we’ll see!

I’m trying to grow mine out too, and it’s killing me! I love the darker color you’ve gone with though… it looks great!

I refused to grow out my hair for the wedding, in fact its much longer now than it was then, but since I was doing an updo that didn’t require a ton of hair, it wasn’t necessary.

Mostly I’m commenting because I am super jealous of your gorgeous hair! So full! and healthy and shiny! No matter what you end up with you’ll be stunning.

Ooh - I love the brown! I wasn’t planning on doing a trial, but now think I should!

I really love the deep brown on you. If you don’t get your desired length, you could add extensions (or a wiglet!). I thought there was no way for them to look natural, but I am living proof!

Love your long hair and the darker brown on you! I think that you should go for another hair trial if you’re ultra stressed about what your hair will look like. If it eases your mind leading up to your wedding day, it’s worth it!

@Mrs. Snow: If I’d only know of a wiglet sooner! It could have saved the day!
