So, I did it — I booked a hair appointment for Friday morning. My goal is to become a lot less bleached and a lot more caramelized and I’m inspired by this look. I hope I love the results, because one thing’s for sure: I’m not loving how often (and costly) I need to be highlighted. Besides, Fall is the perfect season to go a little darker. And with a newborn joining our family in just a handful of weeks, the last thing I want is to be sitting in a hair salon ;) Newborns are the best and I’m so so so so grateful to become a mama again.
Related: I’m giving myself a couple bonus points for knowing in advance how important it is to take care of my mama self. It can feel selfish to set time aside just for me, but I know that time benefits the whole family. Can I get an Amen?
AMEN!!! Gotta take care of yourself too! It’s not selfish! Plus do you really want to look back at pics + think “I don’t look my best!”
If we can’t take care of ourselves, mind, body + spirit, then how can we take care of the husband + little?
Enjoy!
Ha, your honesty is so refreshing :) no… I don’t want to look back and think that. XO
Good for you! Be sure to pics after-pics!
I agree, Maggie. I think it’s very responsible for you to take some time to feel good. Heaven knows that all the hormones and transition you will feel with new baby, it can really reek havoc on how one views herself and made worse if she’s not happy with what she sees in the mirror. I am only a week behind and after turning 30 this year I am saving my massage I received, as well as a mani-pedi, and hair appointment for the week before this baby is set to come!
And I love the color. So soft!
It may sound silly, but I am convinced that when I’ve taken the time/money to simply get my hair done…I am a better Mommy and Wife. : ) Six months ago my stylist had me ditch the foil highlights for Balayage and I love it! No more awful dark roots after three months…it grows out naturally and the best part is, I only need to get it done every six months. Yay for a happy budget!
Love the color you chose…it will look amazing on you! Enjoy your time to breathe and relax! : )
I love that look! You know I googled it to see what you were talking about, right? ;) xo
I googled “French method of dyeing hair” because I can’t remember how to spell it to save my life. ; ) I still don’t even pronounce it right every time. : )
Amen! Haha taking care of yourself is definitely important! Have fun at the salon! Hopefully they give you a my extra long head scrub in the shampoo chair!
Ohhhhh yes… I’ll be soaking up every minute at the salon ;)
I only colored my hair once in college from a box. I am thinking I may have to do a color change like the picture you posted! LOVING IT! Can’t wait to see what yours looks like :)

Agghh! This looks amazing! I’ve had the same photo pinned since you showed it the other day. So glad that you are taking the time for yourself. You deserve it! As a first time momma to be in just a few weeks, I hope that I can take some time for myself too! Good luck!
I’m finding out if I don’t schedule the time I put it off… so that’s my advice to you ;) congratulations on your babe!!!
Love the color choice. It is going to look fantastic!!
I JUST cut my hair like this over the weekend! I brought this exact picture, too! How funny! I cut off 8 inches! (Donated it, too.) It feels amazing and like it was always suppose to be this way. I have an almost 4 year-old, and a 4 month-old and I felt like I needed something to make me feel good about myself. It sure worked! Have fun!!
When I showed the photo to my stylist she mentioned she’s seen it before — it must be a popular color/cut! ;D
