realizing the importance of hair

since it's winter, i decided to go back to straightening my hair. usually i go for the typically silk press, but this time i asked a new stylist at my local salon to give me a blowout.

wow did i ask for the right choice.

not only did it look amazing, but i noticed that i've gotten a lot of compliments from , strangers and loved ones. so many people have mentioned how they like my hair— an acquaintance in my class, a salesperson the minute i walked into a store, a doorman, a friend who said she didn't even recognize me when i walked by her. yesterday there were free headshots at my college, and the photographer compared me to a model (rarely hear that). my boyfriend was also really obsessed with the outcome.

overall, it made me realized how important your hair is in relation to beauty. tbh, i've always known this, since I believe that messy hair can make or break a look, though this is the first time i'm experiencing it. i think that blowouts are extremely trendy right now, so that could've been a factor as well.

also apologies if any of this sounded like bragging. that is not my intention. i just was a little surprised at the outcome
