New 'do!

I have been trying since 2010 to grow my hair lonnnnnnnnnnng and I'ts been working! I've gotten a trim here and there, but only when absolutely needed, and for the last 14 months, I haven't even colored my hair! I have been super good!! Well yesterday, I decided it was time to change it up a bit. Working on the farm, I tend to opt for a bun, braids, or a ponytail - but what's the point of having long hair if you can't ever feel good about wearing it down?? I darkened it a bit myself (that is the frugality of my nature ;) and my stylist HATES box color...) and then let my best gal pal, stylist, shear genius, Lauren Howard of Relic Salon work her magic on my locks.... P.S. these were all taken with my iPhone, hence the blurred pics - enjoy!
