Blonde vs Brunette

A while ago I received this research from Clairol Nice N Easy about blondes and brunettes. Apparently 60% of Australian women think that men prefer blondes and almost half wish they were blonde. On the other hand, 77% think brunettes are taken more seriously and over half think that brunettes make more money in the [...]

229/365 Taming the Hair

I spend a good deal of time worrying about my hair, but even more than that I spend a good deal of time on Riley’s hair, which she hates of course. Like I’m torturing her with some kind of arcane device the rest of us call a hair brush. So yesterday, when she not only [...]

Hair is a Really Big Deal

When I was a teenager there wasn’t much I liked about the way I looked. Who knows why. Teenagers are weird. I’m ignoring the fact that I will one day be a parent to teenagers. Because that’s freaking terrifying. But the one thing I did like was my hair. Sure it was a little unruly. [...]

161/365 The Hair Cut

Today I took Riley for her first ever hair cut. Yes, I’m aware that she is nearly three and I’m well behind in the hair cut stakes. But I resisted for as long as humanly possible. One of those ‘not a baby anymore’ milestones. I’m hoping that the haircut might encourage some real hair growth [...]

132/365 Mad Hair

It might or might not have been after this photo was taken and I noticed the true mad scientist hair situation that was going on that I opted to put the Googy in the bath this evening and wash her hair. Twice. After which it was decidedly more boring. Most of the curls miraculously disappeared, [...]

94/365 Still Haven’t Cut the Hair

Yes. I still haven’t cut her hair. Still waiting on that pesky fringe to grow out so I can just put it back. In theory. Putting it back would require me catching her, which isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Or maybe I’m just phobic about the first haircut being the end of babydom, [...]

20/365 The Fuzz

You see that? It’s fine hair fuzz all around the hairline. I still have it. Back when I was in school it was what determined whether you were a devil or an angel. Devils had the hair fuzz, angels did not. I didn’t mind being a devil. It seemed far more rebellious and daring. Besides [...]

Mooshy

Who wouldn’t want to kiss those mooshy cheeks? It’s no secret (if you twitter) that I’ve been feeling a little low. A few things happened today to cheer me up. When I got in the shower this morning there was a lovely message from Mr Goog using the foam letters that we have in there [...]

Hair is a Big Deal

Riley’s hair is finally long and thick enough that a clip will stay in. Momentous. Really. Hair is a big deal. It’s a big part of why she looks like a little girl and not a baby. And also will probably mean that people will stop referring to her as a ‘he’. Unfortunately I’m sure [...]
