I don’t know about your little corner of the world, but things are muggy as a sauna in the Midwest. This weather is throwing a wrench in my plan to wear my hair down. Too bad that I’m dead set on wearing it down—I don’t look or feel like me any other way.

Also causing problems? My complete inability to articulate what I want. This is pretty much what my hair stylist got: Uh, down. Full…kind of wavy but NOT ringlet-y or tight spiral curls. Loose, natural, but definitely different from my usual look.

Somehow, she got my hair to look amazing. The following pictures are of my hair after a few hours and a VERY humid car ride home in wicked traffic. It fell, to be sure, but you know what? I felt like myself, natural but still a little more formal than usual. If the worst that happens is that all the volume and curls fall? Well, my hair will look like my everyday hair. And I will still whip it back and forth on the dance floor.

Note: makeup trial NOT involved. Do not blame my makeup artist for the way my face looks after a long day at work.

…Okay, I hesitate to show this picture because it’s a really great example of my complete camera awkwardness. I really need to learn how to pose for pictures in the next couple of days. Seriously. All that money for wedding photographer, and I’m about to blow it. Ready for this?

WHAT is this face I’m making? Skepticism? And (cringe) my awkward body language. Like a little kid tugging at her skirt, for lack of knowing what to do with her hands:

Hahaha. Oh wait? Nothing to do with your hands? Put them awkwardly behind your back! NO, SELF, NO. Good thing I’ll be carrying flowers, I guess…

Oh gosh, y’all. Someone help me.

Anyone else wearing their hair down despite sticky-hot weather? Also, if you have tips for holding curl- PLEASE share. Is there a kind of shampoo I can use to prep my hair? Some sort of treatment? Holla at your girl.
