Hairdos of New Years past: plain and pulled back in 2002.
It’s New Year’s Eve and I’m not sure what to do with my hair. Magazines are telling me to go updo, I managed a decent DIY blowout this morning that could work with some straightening iron help, and you know how I feel about a holiday crimp. But what I’m thinking is this: my hair saw a lot of action in 2008- blonde, blonder, less blonde, brown, brownish, this- so maybe I should just welcome in 2009 with a little less pomp and product.
This time last year I was VAIN blogging about The Crocodile closing and how we should keep the good kinds of change coming to our hairdos. A year later I still think that (and look what’s re-opening soon!), but it has occurred to me that maybe change, or at least mine, can be back to something from years past and not necessarily brand new. One of my favorite New Year’s Eves ever was spent with my hair just plain and pulled back. It felt good.
So- I’m going to tuck my hair behind my ears and head out to celebrate the year ahead. I hope whether yours is up, down, done or not, your hair, night, and new year are full of whatever change feels best to you, too.
