Feeling a little blah...maybe a new hairstyle??? WDYT

PonyMaid

I feel like I am in a slump!  I want a new haircut or maybe color but I'm afraid I will love the haircut after they style it and then never have it look that way again (has happened before).  I just need a little pick me up and I was thinking of doing it before my shower on Saturday.  I am just at a loss and my few close girlfriends live hours away and I am missing their input!  I am looking to you ladies for some advice or suggestions and appreciate it!  TIA!!!

Personally I wouldn't do anything major. During my first pregnancy I went through bouts of this and cut my hair, and colored it etc. Now I look back at the photos and realize I would have felt prettier if I had just stuck with being a pregnant version of me. Its hard not to feel blah when you have a big belly sticking out, are tired and hormonal... but right before a shower (and all the pictures that go with it) isn't the best time to try out a new hairstyle. Maybe try a trim and a new outfit which is less permanent.

I got my hair highlighted and cut Saturday because I was feeling blah as well. I didn't want to do a full color or a major cut, but I thought adding layers and highlights was a nice compromise! I feel so much better and it should be fairly easy to maintain because the highlights aren't too far off of my natural color. Good luck!

I cut about 3 inches off today and I feel so much better!

I got a haircut this weekend also. I was definitely ready for a change. I was feeling the same way...blah is a very good description. I felt so much better afterwards. I would recommend going for it. It'll be a good pick-me-up and everyone will be complementing you at your shower. Of course, they would anyway, I'm sure

When I read "the girlfriend's guide to pregnancy" she said to NOT to make a major change in your hair style/cut/color...because your body/face is changing due to hormones so you might not look as good as you'd like ...but how about you get a facial? a mani/pedi? or just have them style your current hair now? buy yourself an outfit!

I get urges to cut off all my hair on occassion.  I usually give in because my hair grows really fast, but I think I will hold off until after LO gets here.  I think I will want to be able to pull it back in the hospital.  Plus our hair will fall out in clumps a couple of months after the birth, so a hair style that looks good right now, may not cover up our bald spots too well.  I've been eyeing those pixie hair styles that are all the rage right now, but I don't think I would have the courage to do it.

Let me know if you want a recommendation for a really great stylist!  The girl I go to is great and she always finds a medium ground between what I have and the craziness I sometimes come in wanting!  

FWIW, I adore my short hair and am keeping it even though I originally was going to grow it out because I figure it will be easier to take care of and not take up time once baby gets here.   I have extremely thick hair (she thins out half of it, literally, just to get it to lay down) so I'm almost looking forward to loosing some....

I felt like this in the very beginning of pregnancy and everyone warned me not to do anything drastic - but about 2 weeks ago now, I couldn't handle it anymore and DH was getting sick of me asking him what I should do, so one stress filled day (about a week before my baby shower), I decided that's it, I'm gonna chop it off! I cut about 10-12 inches off and I absolutely love it & I'm so happy I did it! I say do whatever you think will make YOU feel good & beautiful & relaxed! Best of luck
