Why my husband is SO excited
This post is brought to you by ‘Fro Me to You, the weekly carnival of photos that will never see the inside of a fancy-schmancy scrapbook. Or any other scrapbook in my lifetime. For more fun pics and the stories that accompany them, visit We Are That Family. You gotta go today because Kristin has a beautiful story about her first Christmas with her husband. It’s great.
Why is my husband so excited? My hair is growing. I know, I know! He said he loved the short hair after I got my long locks chopped, but it turns out that was code for “Baby, you’re so gorgeous and sexy; you could do anything to your hair and still look good to me.” He then clarified that he really does NOT like change and he really DOES prefer long hair. Hence, I’m not maintaining the look from my not-so-impulsive makeover.
It’s been almost two months since the big cut, and already I can do fun things like this.
It’s difficult to get a picture of the back of your head, especially when sporting an itty-bitty Pebble ponytail like this one.
And, on days I don’t plan to leave the house and really want it out of my face, I do this.
Much more attractive, I know. And why, if I wasn’t planning to leave the house, did I arm my 4-year-old with a camera?
The funny thing is that my husband thinks this is fantastic. Both the ponytail and the pigtails, he thinks they’re wonderful. I don’t get it. He doesn’t like short hair, but he loves it when I pull my hair back. What’s the point of having long hair if you always put it up? I don’t see a big difference, but I’m told there is one. And I know a happy husband is infinitely more valuable than a short, sassy ‘do.
While I’m definitely letting it grow, I may get the bangs cut again. I loved what the stylist did with them. And maybe I’ll play with some color too. *grin*

Love the piggies – really!!! My husband prefers long hair, too – but I have to admit – I don’t do short well – so I stick with it long.
I do not get why men love long hair on us. It’s so much more work and when my hair was long, hubs was constantly pulling on it/rolling on it in bed. Such a nuisance… and a mood killer, if you catch my drift. Can I say that here? *blush*
I do this same thing!!! Although sometimes it’s just one ala Pebbles, sticking up straight from my head. Love the photos.
Monica: you can say that here. I know EXACTLY what you mean. Nothing affects “the mood” like having to take five minutes to get your hair all tied back and out of the way.
But like I said — a happy husband is a wonderful thing!
My hubby likes my hair in pigtails, too. Must be some guy thing. Hey, it made Britney famous!
Definitely a guy thing. My hubs is the same way. But then again he really likes my hair short enough to get to my neck too. What to do…
My hubby prefers long hair too, though he likes it when I leave it down better than up. I think it is great you are trying to sport a do that he likes and wonderful you’ve found one. You are very cute in the pig tails.
My hubby likes my hair short-so I keep it that way ( I like it that way too) But we’re weird
Yours is adorable.
Even though I don’t know you, I love your haircut! It is SO cute.
I wish I was brave enough to go VERY short. My is between chin and shoulder length.
And the pigtails ARE awesome!
You looks so cute! Very youthful.
Maybe your husband is a neck/jawline kind of guy…
hey tanya, absolutely loved the pigtails on you! makes you look very girly! long or short locks, your adorable!
