Mrs. Lox's Picture
Mrs. Lox, Baltimore Age and Occupation: 33, Government Worker Fiance's Age and Occupation: 35. IT Consultant Engagement Date: May 8, 2010 Wedding Date: May 2011 Venue: Vandiver Inn About Me: I’m an East Coast gal born and bred and a suburban brat turned city rat for the last year. Now Mr. Lox and I enjoy walking all kinds of places, having the coolest things around in our backyard, and especially our garage parking. I love gadgets, toys, Ben & Jerry’s Chubby Hubby ice cream, monkeys, and our insane cats. I’m a blonde by birth and a redhead by choice. I’m that girl in the cubicle farm with all the cool toys and the file cabinet covered in magnetic poetry. I still use smiley faces in my emails, whether people like it or not. This is not the first rodeo for Mr. Lox nor me. And together, we are planning an intimate afternoon wedding on a budget we can afford by ourselves.
About Mrs. Lox

This weekend was the weekend of trials for me. And first up? Was the hair.

Now before we get started, let’s take a walk down memory lane. We talked about my original hair-spiration. We also talked about how much I hate my natural curls. (I know, a bad curly girl is me. But that’s the way it goes.) And then we talked about new hair-spiration for straight lox. (Sorry, couldn’t help it.) Let’s revisit the final chosen inspiration…

With side swept bangs like these…

I had high hopes. And while the end result wasn’t exactly what I imagined, I think it’s perfect. What’s that? You want to see pictures?

Well, OK then. Just don’t mind the weird red eye. I mean, this is about the hair, after all. ;)

Now, here’s what I never told you. See how sleek and awesome my hair looks? (Toot toot! That’s me with my horn. Sorry.) It was not tortured, beat up, or otherwise mangled to make this happen. I actually got a keratin express blowout last month and my hair is so shiny and easy to straighten now. And frizz proof! It’s one of the best hair decisions I’ve ever made. Love. It. :)

So anyway, what do you think? And have you had your hair trial yet?

That looks phenomenal! I also am a curly haired girl and I straighten every. single. day. I am considering the keratin treatment as I am growing my hair out and I don’t know how I am going to make it through the summer to August with the heat and humidity!

Do you mind me asking how much you paid for the blowout and whether you think it was worth it?
