ombre update

hey friends,

you can read all about my jump onto the ombre trend train in this post.

and i'm here with an update for you.

 

i really thought this was going to be an easy look to keep up.

i promised the mr after that first visit to the salon put an $80 dent in our checkbook (then $25 for the new curling iron), that would be it.

then i went in for a hair cut and root touch up 2 months after i took the plunge.

and i decided that the ends needed a blonde touch up as well.

then i said goodbye to another $80.

 

and the mr doesn't even like it.

well, i shouldn't say that. he just likes it better all brown. and straight. no waves.

so what do i do? curl it all the time. wife of the year, right?

 

but i haven't taken my cone curling iron out in a long time- i've been using my med. barrel normal curling iron.

same idea as with the cone- wrap the hair around the iron instead of clamping it and you'll get a totally different look. my curls are much looser and beach-ier. see:

when i look at this picture i think i need bangs.

not blunt ones, sweepy side ones.

 

so, long story short-

when my roots are in need of a touch up we'll be saying goodbye to the ombre look.

but we'll be keeping the waves from time to time now that i have them figured out.

marriage is all about compromise, right?

 

love, mrs. k
