Something must be in the air. Duke got a haircut this week, but so did I. Well, technically I did this a few weeks ago, but I’m still getting used to it.
I chopped off eight inches of hair.
Overall, I love it and I’m happy. It’s easier to do before work and it feels a lot fresher than my long hair (which, despite the photo above, tended to end up in a bun more often than not). I feel a lot more sassy now.
However, I did not consider that it would be quite so challenging to pull it back for riding. The front parts tend not to stay in a ponytail. Typically I shove a winter hat on top of it or just wear it down. And then of course it gets tucked into my helmet when I’m riding, so that’s not a problem.

I was asking my stylist for her opinion on some ideas that I had for post-wedding, and she started laughing. Apparently it’s a Thing for people to do a drastic change after they get married hahaha

Hahaha! I believe it! All that time of keeping my hair long “for the wedding” and doing nothing crazy finally caught up to me!

Oh! I did the same thing after my wedding. My sister calls it the “wife hair cut”. I need to get it cut again (lessons have leap frogged hair cuts in the budget), but I always threw it in a low pony and captured the front parts with a RWR hair net.

I really should wear a hair net during lessons but I don’t. However those RWR hair nets are the BEST. Maybe I’ll pick up a few extras.

They were the only way I could stand getting the shorter hair in a helmet. Unless I took the time to do a great french braid, but who has time for that?!

Not me for sure. And I don’t think my hair would stay in a French braid anymore either haha

ha it looks cute. Can you use bobby pins to pull it back for riding? I have short hair and have had to break some out before to get it all to mash down enough to stay under the helmet. Short hair is so flyaway 🙂 But it looks great!!

Thanks! I could use bobby pins I suppose. At the moment I just put it in a low, stubby ponytail and then flip upside down to catch all the extras in my helmet lol

It looks wonderful on you! I love it ❤ I did that too. I unfortunately am having a brain fart as to whether I did that this year or last year, but my hair used to be as long as the middle of my back. And it was quite a bit of maintenance! Just like you, it ended up in a bun more often than not. Or a braid. Or anything off of my face. And it was so hard to ride in – the braid was long enough to block the number on my show jacket LOL. So, a cut it was! I've realized though that collarbone length is perfect for my hair. Long enough to pull back into a pony to ride, but short enough my hair will still have it's natural waves. Easy maintenance for work 😀

Easy is the best! Unfortunately this one isn’t so easy…I pretty much have to do something with it every day so there are times when I wish I could put it in a bun! I think I will let it grow around collarbone length – like you say, easier maintenance!

The RWR hair nets are the best for shorter hair! I have your length hair or shorter now and I just use that net and no rubber band and my hair is pulled back without issue. SO EASY.
Love the hair too!

I LOVE RWR hairnets! That reminds me to go buy more because I’ve slowly lost mine over the years and I’m down to one, which I guard jealously haha

Love it! I can’t get away with short hair because of my curls, unless I want to look like an aged Shirley Temple (or Dirty Dancing’s Baby). But you look devine!

Thank you! I have this weird half-curly/half-wavy/mostly-frizzy thing going on so I do have to either straighten or curl. So far it’s working pretty well I think!
