beautiful length

In March I made a big change to my appearance- I donated all of my hair to a hair donation one of the greek organizations was having on campus!

I had started spring break with this big mop on my head: most photos by Natalie

(which had the potential to look like this:)

After five ponytails, four friends, and one pair of clippers, the deed was done.




My bangs went to my friend Joe to be made into paint brushes, and the rest was donated to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths. They say it takes six ponytails to make one wig. I have severely thick hair, they might have almost gotten one out of it!

It took quite a while to get used to, but I am glad I did it! This is my third time donating my hair, and I intend to do so again!

The Week of Hair

My lovely friend Natalie over at dear mom posted a couple weeks ago about The Month of Hair at Refinery 29. I was slightly discouraged after reading her post, because it is pretty hard for me to do virtually anything with my hair other than leave it down or use a clip. After complaining to Brandon for a second, and begging him to do cool things to my hair (to which he told me to ask our roommate, Becca) I got inspired. The rest of the week I did new things with my hair, including a curling method Natalie had told me about previously, and an old beehive do that I thought my hair had outgrown. I was very happy!
Day One:

A little twist to my shave spot!
Day Two:

Rediscovering the little beehive. Just so you know, I just tuck all my hair under it, no bump-it here. It helps that I have a BUNCH of hair.
Day Three:


Part one of curling my hair. Wrapped it around a headband and wore it all day and slept on it. Which brings us too:
Day Four:


Wild crazy awesome curly hair!
Day Five:
Still rocking the curls, but my bangs were looking wild!
I think there is much more I could do with that simple little headband, here is just a silly little thing I tried:


These days I wake up too early (and not too much before I have to be somewhere) to do much with my hair, although Brandon did put in it a ponytail when I went to the gym the other day and it looked nice! So here is to hair!

Mohawk!

Someone should help me do this to my hair coughmomcough!

Animal Hats

So, one of my friends just posted a wild picture on Facebook of animal heads made out of hair and placed on human heads. I thought this was so cool, that I did some research and was surprised to find other blogs, like Bleubird Vintage, posted about them in 2009! Well they are made by Nagi Noda, a Japanese designer. I also just found that Urban Outfitters had posted about them. I guess I am a little behind! Better late than never though, right?
