Growing It Out!

For the past year, I've been working to perfect my wedding hair. The main goals: length and color. Achieving the right length hasn't been a terribly hard process - I mean, growing your hair out involves doing nothing at all. The biggest part is the time investment. I have definitely noticed an increase in the amount of time it takes to wash, style and blow-dry in the morning. All in the name of bridal beauty, right?

Overall, Step One was the most dramatic: going from blonde-ish to a rich brown.

Next was letting it GROOOOOOOW....

I seriously wish I had tracked my hair growth more than these two photos. The comparison is fun!

So, what's my point? Well, aside from tracking change and progress I'm having this lingering thought: after all this hard work I'm second guessing a wedding day up-do. All this long, lovely, lush hair and I'm still yet to find a style I'm completely sure about?  Remember this? And this? Perhaps I'm just having some hairy anxiety. To assuage my bridal brain I've set up yet another hair trial.

Think I can pull it off? Did you have a hair related freak out?
