Big Chop

July 19th, 2024 by Karen 38 Comments

Connor and I are bouncing out the front door in a second, but I just wanted to say hi and let ya know that I did a big ol’ choppity-chop yesterday afternoon. It was kinda premeditated but also unexpected! I thought I was going to get a small trim and non-crisis bangs (you know, the kind of bangs you request when you’re relatively sane and not under duress), but then I remembered that it’s just hair and it grows back. Plus, change can be good!

I hope your Friday is filled with lots of love and joy!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I love this hair! You look beautiful. I did a bigger than expected chop myself a few weeks ago and I’m loving it. I also happened to have my appointment on the hottest day of the summer (so far) and the longer hair in this heat was not working for me. Hope you love it!

      Thanks Eileen! The shirt is from J. Crew Factory. It’s cotton and lightweight, so it’s comfy to wear in the summer.

    I agree with all of the above comments! Sometimes we just need a change, right? You look beautiful, well rested, and happy. Have a great weekend, MBB fam!

    p.s. Is it fall yet? I’m over this hot weather.

    Looks beautiful. I remember when you were deciding whether to continue coloring your hair and I was among those who encouraged you to try letting the grey come through. It looks great!!! And you sparkle…hope you like it as much as some of us do.

    Looks good. I cut my hair from BSL to just under chin length a few years ago and haven’t looked back. I may color the edges (semi-permanent) one more time, but that might be it, since the white hair is starting to grow in other spots.
