Hair today...

What started as, I suspect, a bit of a lag in making the effort to get his hair cut, ended up as almost a year long quest to change up "the look".

I have to admit...at the beginning, I dug the new look.  My husband was blessed with a nice head of ringlet curls.  Most girls would kill for naturally wavy, curly hair like that (and the mile long eyelashes he has to match).  The new look suited him.

But, like a fine wine...there was a peak.  And that peak was about four months ago.

July

As the summer turned to fall, what was once a nice, tousled head of hair slowly became what can only be described as...a mop.  Less and less "Laid back Spanish Guy", and more and more "Where is the Nearest Shelter Guy".

I let to go for a while.  Hell, we've all made some bad choices whilst looking to change up our hair identity (anyone happen to catch the bob and bangs debacle of 2012?)  Clearly, I love the man no matter what and if he was happy with the look, then who I am to ask him to change it up.  But lately I had to start some gentle prodding.  He was starting to ask my opinion, and I had to break it to him.  My handsome husband was being buried in a sea of frizz.

November

"Just needs a little more time" he kept telling me.  Secretly, I think he liked the shock and awe factor.  But after taking a look at a little video I took of him today, even he agreed.  It was time.

With his whole family around him (no joke, even the dog was waiting outside the salon), we said goodbye to The Mop.  And damn, does he look good.

I give you...the before...

And after!
