friday silliness

I got a badly needed haircut yesterday. Nothing drastic, just a good trim. Seems I have finally "figured out" my hair after 40-something years! Anyway, about 10 years ago I was having a hair identity crisis (one of many...) and decided to go to a salon that had hair-do imaging. They took a photo of me and then digitally mocked up any hair style I chose from the menu. I KNOW! So cool. I don't think it did much to help me make up my mind, but it sure was fun. I can't even believe I am sharing this with you:

Ha! Oh I get such a kick looking at this. It just illustrates why we obsess over our hair, doesn't it? It makes such a difference in how we feel about ourselves and how others view us. I can just imagine the different "personalities" each version of me up there might have.

Have a good weekend and do something silly! :)

i did something similar when i was in middle school or early high school. i went to the local department store for a makeover where they did your makeup (it was hideous!) and then made you a video of your head with all different hairstyles exactly like this. my family still uses it against me almost 2 decades later.

That picture montage is PRICELESS! I got my hair chopped off a couple of weeks ago... I still surprise myself when I look in the mirror. (Guess I should change my picture....) Have a great weekend!

I´m curious. That did you choose?

I am perplexed now, which one did you go with... if any? I so understand those hair problems. I am always stuck in a rut of the same hair for a decade or so. Then I decide I need something different - and have to go RIGHT NOW before I talk myself out of it. I normally am pretty happy with the change. Then again I am not one of those people who get all upset because they cut too much off, I figure... it is just HAIR, it will grow back!

Karla,
I didn't choose any of them! It was 10 yrs ago. I suppose it looks most like the center image now, but wavier!

I've always wanted to try this. You are so brave to post this - such a gift to be able to laugh at yourself!
Thanks for sharing, that was fun.

My personal fave is the blonde with black tips. Drew Barrymore was in Detroit yesterday promoting her roller derby flick Whip It and was sporting a similar do. HA!

How cool is that? I thought they were all different people at first. Just goes to show you what a hairdo can say about a person. Very fun.

I would love to find a place that did that, or a place online to try it out.
