Bad Hair Days » Marissa Rodriguez Photography

I chopped off more than twelve inches of my hair about two years ago. Just because. I was also going to dye it jet black but I chickened out. And after a few months of getting it cut, I went back to get it cut even shorter. Yes, I know. Sometimes I just can’t contain myself. I enjoyed my new hair style for quite a while until one day I decided I was ready to have my long hair again. All I can say is that I learned that when it comes to hair, I am not a patient person.

It wasn’t the fact that my hair was short that bothered me so much; it was during the stage when my hair was too long and yet too short to do anything with it. That’s what bothered me. It was when it wouldn’t quite reach my shoulders and the ends rested on my neck, right in the middle, tickling and poking me every day. I couldn’t put it up in a ponytail, I couldn’t leave it down. It was a mess. You couldn’t tell if I had bangs, layers or if I was just on a permanent bad hair day. To say the least, waiting for it to get past that annoying point was quite the task. It was a process and I’ve discovered that sometimes processes drive me crazy.

I’ve noticed that the process of re-branding is having a lot of similarities to growing out my hair. I am enjoying the searching and creating that comes along with re-branding but I’m ready to keep going. The only problem is that I can’t make up my mind about certain things. I’m in that stage where something is poking and pushing me to move forward but just as my hair took a while to stop resting its ends on my neck, I’m taking my sweet time. Sometimes it feels like a permanent bad hair day.

Fortunately, my hair eventually got past that annoying little stage and now it reaches my shoulders with ease and hopefully soon I can also decide and and organize my branding wants and ideas. Anyway, these next three photos have nothing to do with hair and re-branding but I love how I feel when I look at them. Sometimes I take a break from fighting with my hair and confusing ideas and I step out to my back yard, climb up a plastic slide and this is what I see…

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!
