One of the fun things about having girls- hair personality.
Sage is at that age where she is having fun with hers. As long as she maintains good grades and a good attitude, we don't mind letting her explore self expression through a little lipstick and hair dye.
It's actually kind of a kick watching her have fun with her style. She's always had really thin, stringy hair. Short hair helps to disguise this problem. So really, coloring her hair is her only option for something different.
She can go a more natural shade of brown:

Or she can experiment with something darker:

Or like most recently, she can sport a dark red tint to go with her crazy lipstick and collection of hats.

Whatever she decides to do, it's always something fun and exciting!

True's hair has gotten quite long over last few years. Her hair grows faster than most people. I tell her it's because she's my healthiest eater, and the result of always eating her veggies.
She's got that sleek and shiny long hair most of us envy.
Whether it's pulled back in braids-


Or falling down her back-

Whatever she does with it, it usually looks pretty good.
Her only complaints of growing it out (her choice) is the part where she has to wash it. She really only needs to shampoo it every other day, so I got her a shower cap to help her out.
As you can see, she doesn't exactly like the shower cap either.

Miss Deni's hair is quite a lot of fun. By some weird genetic throw-back, we somehow got a curly-headed little girl.
It can be a lot of upkeep though. Unlike Sage and True, she can't really go one day without brushing hers out unless, of coarse, she's going for the dreadlocks look.
But the curly hair can be fun.
Curly hair is good for the compliments on almost every outing.


It's also good for mermaid hair.

Or the big poofy pom-pom pigtails.

Right now I'm at a loss of what to do with my own hair. I've had it short for over a year now, and it's time for a change. I've been dealing with these awkward in-between phases and it's driving me crazy! I'm not sure how long I can last before I take the scissors to my own head! I think I'm having a hair-identity crisis!

How about you? What is your hair-identity? Are you like Sage, and like to change it up often? Or like True, enjoying a grow-out after a few years of short hair? Or, are you like Deni, making the best of what you naturally have? Do you have any pointers for me? Should I wack it off again or just be patient and let it grow?

I can relate to Miss Deni - my hair just doesn't change - curl is curl. But it's served me well. Although, I would like a change. But I've been saying that for years!

And no, I don't think you're a mean mom for no TV - smart mom! We'll integrate more crafts. I have some Valentine ones I need to get started on. Thanks for the reminder.
