My Morning Hair

Even Derby Girls Get the Blues...Er, Yellows.

Monday, August 22, 2011

Derby girls don't always look this bad the morning after a bout. Sometimes we look worse.

Gwen Stefani?

I'm pretty sure that Gwen stefani tried something like this once. Didn't turn out so well for her either.

I've gotten some lovely pout-bout hair photos from the lovely ladies of Houston Roller Derby, and have lots of pics to upload. However, I am spending a few days in Austin trying to work, so posting will be light and maybe in the nighttime, not morning. Keep the photos coming!

Awesomely Bad Hair Winner, Week 2!

As Seen on TV!

Kinda looks like I used a Bumpit on the side of my head.

Accidental Updo

This could be great for a prom...for zombies. Will they have prom in the zombie apocolypse? Would they call it Zom? Such good hair we have two angles.

Insomnia

Thursday, August 18, 2011

This week, I had three nights in a row of not sleeping for more than an hour straight. Not because I have insomnia; I have a sick kid. But this hair is actually just a result of derby and going to bed with wet hair. Can you tell which side I like to sleep on?

Warning: Curls Are Forever

There is a forever debate between owners of curly hair and owners of straight hair. People with straight hair often bemoan the fact that they want curly hair and those with curly hair try to tell those people they are wrong--curly hair is a challenge. I think this photo makes that argument very well.

Sustained Early Mornings

If you are unsure of the side effects of early-morning wake-ups over a period of time, here is the result of a study done on the subject. Yes, early mornings may impact your hair AND face.

If you are undeterred and think you might want to try an early-morning boot camp led by this person, check out Camp Gladiator.

Honeymoon Hair

I got married, went on my honeymoon, and all I came back with was this hair.

Congrats, Cynder and Ryan!

Solving Your Storage Problems

Wednesday, August 17, 2011

More fascinating than the hair here is the ingenious and inventive storage idea. Not sure where to put that bulky box of tissues? Just put one exactly where you'll need it later. Why hasn't Ikea thought of this?

The Coffee Won't Help

Coffee cures just about all my morning woes. This hair? Requires something a little stronger.

Pink Makes Everything Better

Not the singer, just so we're clear. But I think the bright pink brings out the natural beauty of this morning hair. If it were a little lighter, I might think it was cotton candy and try to eat it.

Welcome Back, 1992!

This is hair I would have coveted in junior high, and which would have taken hours to actually achieve. Check out the details--the subtle lift and height!

Marathon Hair

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

People give up a lot to run marathons: time, money, bodily functions, attractiveness, class. And, clearly, their hair.

A Moment of Silence

It's not possible for everyone to HAVE morning hair. Literally. If you have the opportunity, be grateful. So let's all take a moment to be thankful for our hair.
