Hair Woes

I think hair is one of the many "Grass is always greener" situations. 

I used to have thinner, straighter hair. I would have 

given my left arm {I'm right handed you see} to have 

long, thick, luscious locks that could hold curl. 

Then- around high school or something- as a lame part of my maturation 

I got bushy thicker hair.
It still didn't hold a curl well- but at least it had some body.

Fast forward a few years and a baby later and now my hair is just that. 

Long, thick, luscious locks. 

Okay,okay. It isn't all that it's cracked up to be. 

Most days I wake up and it's just so thick that if I leave it down I feel like my

 head is on fire cuz I get so hot chasing PK. 

*Cue Napoleon Dynamite*: 

"Well, when I came home from school my head started to get really hot.

 So I drank some cold water, but it didn't do nothing. 

So I laid in the bathtub for a while, but then I realized that it was my hair 

that was making my head hot. So I went into my kitchen and I shaved it all off. " From here

Seriously. This is what I feel like everyday. I just want to shave it off! 

Basically- I just have never had this type of hair before- 

so I don't have any idea what to do with it. 

What do you do when you have any question these days? 

Pinterest. 

Sock bun tutorials are basically everywhere- and you may have already tried it.
I was seriously skeptical. There's no way that my a sock could help me out- 

or so I thought. 

***Unfortunately I do not have a "before" picture.

This tutorial shows how to put your hair in a sock bun (also a super cute hairstyle!). 

I did that to my slightly damp hair and slept on it. Woke up and this is what I saw. 

 

I seriously didn't add any extra curling or anything! Crazy, right!

In all fairness- my hair does have natural curl to it- but nothing like this :) 

All I did was pin my bangs back and straightened the very top part to get rid of some frizz. 

What do you think? Are you going to go try this? 

***My hair is actually a few inches longer (this was taken back in October) 

which I am stoked about 

{now that I have a hairstyle that works for my hair- and 

my lifestyle (no time for hours in front of the mirror anymore!)}
