How to spot a blogger out in public: she’s the one who, realising she forgot to take a ‘before’ picture, hands the hairdresser the camera before he can touch her hair.
This actually caused much consternation among the staff as the woman handed the camera couldn’t work it and the senior hairdresser had to come over and take the picture. They thought I was quite mad.
You can confirm that the suspected blogger is, indeed, a blogger when she takes out the camera to document the process. Cementing the ‘this woman is a lunatic’ thought in the minds of non-bloggers.
This was the first time I’d been put under one of these. On the second time around I got too hot and felt a bit woozy and had to ask them to take it off.
Not wanting to freak the staff out completely I waited until I met up with a fellow blogger to have the after shot taken.
I’m wondering though, what part of “Don’t blow-dry my hair into a helmet” was ambiguous?
I’m quite happy with the cut and the colour – though it’s more orange than I expected. Because I can never recreate the haircut from the hair dresser – the blow-dryer and I hate each other, I’ll post a ‘reality’ after picture in a few days.
Yes, that is my wedding ring I’m wearing around my neck. The engagement ring still fits, but I can’t fit both of them on my finger any more.
Because this is a craft blog (though I do get distracted from time to time) here is the latest finish for charity. This is number 13 for my commitment to 25 Things for Charity, so I’m on track for the year.
I have a confession to make. This is only the second hat I’ve ever knitted in the round. I love knitting hats in the round. I told Gorgeous Man that I was never knitting a hat flat ever again.
If you haven’t joined 25 Things for Charity I’d encourage you to do so. There’s no penalty if your target isn’t reached, but it’s a good reminder to be mindful of what gifts and blessings we have, and to share those blessings with others
well, it looks like it was a hairdresser day:)
Pretty. I also never like when i get out, but in a couple of days it is fine again!
have a nice weekend.
I think your haircut came out great! I love that slightly orangish side of the red spectrum, but my hair takes to it very … strongly. I look like I’m trying for a punk look when I go for it. 😉
Your hat, and the 25 things for charity, is fabulous stuff. I belong, though I’ve been more like a 12 things person this year.
I LOVE the new color – very nice!
I like the hair! And I love knitting hats in the round. So much easier than going back and forth for ages.
I like your hair also. Hope your keeping well. It was nice to catch up with your blog after all this time 🙂
Oh boy, you’ve got great hair. Both ‘before’ & ‘after’ ! I have only ever knitted hats in the round, I started hat knitting around the time I discovered circular needles and Elizabeth Zimmerman. Thanks for the link to 25 things, food for thought.
You look amazing dah-ling! I love the color!!
Love the hair…and knowing what you look like!! Hugs, Tracey
your hair looks fabulous!! that colour suits you!
(and it’s great to see your face, nice to meet you ruth.
I can image the hair dresser bit… You know they were thinking “Crazy Aussie.”
What a nice hairdresser to take the before pic for you. I can’t ever do my hair the same way at the stylist does … and they make it look so easy too.
Your hair looks great and the beanie is fabulous, love the colours in it! Knitting in the round is so much better is’t it! You make me really think I should take up this knitting for charity….maybe I’ll start it in a few weeks when it all settles down here….
lovely haircut- i think it’s so pretty, but you did make me laugh with the thought of you getting the hairdressers to take pictures of you!
thanks for the link to the 25 things website, very inspiring.
I love the new color. It looks great on you! I took pictures once when I was getting foil highlights. They thought I was nuts too. Then they said…”What is a blog?”
I don’t think hairdressers understand that particular phrase… I like the look, though, especially the colour. Ooh, and cool pics of the offspring, too.
