Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

My hair is the longest it has been since high school, many, many moons ago! 3 1/2 years ago, I didn't cut it as winter was approaching and I always leave it go longer, so I have insulation over my neck. Nebraska winters can be frigid! Then 3 years ago, our son was getting married, and hubby, Tom, suggested I wait until after his wedding to cut it short for summer. Then....after the wedding, hubby Tom made another suggestion. Why not keep it a little longer and put it up under a cap when you are outside. Well, ok. It would be nice to have a little style to my hair again. Another year passed, and it was passed my shoulder blades. Then this spring, it was to my waist. I wanted my hair left just a little longer when she cut it, but it will grow again.

On Wednesday morning, this is what I looked like:


On Wednesday afternoon, it went to this:


I had 15 1/2" cut off and donated to Locks of Love. While styling, she cut another 2". A total of 17"! WOW!!!

HT's Photo Challenge "HAIR"

(I posted the story and other photos on my other blog, Horses Are Our Lives. I will start posting all of the photos for future Horsetales Photo Challenges on this blog.)

Our first challenge on the Horsetales Photo Challenge was the word "HAIR". I decided to take pictures of manes and forelocks.

Photo Challenge "HAIR"
Mane and Forelocks

A group, from Tammy's chat group, Horsetales, has decided to take a picture each week and post them. Since we are all horsey, then we need to look for a horsey influence. We would have a word a week and snap a picture that suits the word. We started last week and the word was "hair".

I love Honey's 2 tone mane!

At first, I thought of forelocks. I had visited a friend yesterday and I wished I would have had my camera. Her youngest horse has the most beautiful mane! So as I thought of her, I noticed that my young yearling that I sold has a gorgeous mane. The summer sun has given her natural highlights. It looks so much silkier in person though!

I would have taken pictures of all manes, but not all of the horses have been worked, or groomed. Most of the manes are a mess! So I snapped pictures of all of the horses forelocks.

Some of the horses have forelocks,

Shaggy


Buster


and some don't!

Starlet


Goldie


Some forelocks are long,

I wonder if different types of forelocks go hand-in-hand with any personality types???

Enjoy!
