After I had Jack, my hairdresser Nikki had her work cut out for her. My postpartum hair loss was REAL. The regrowth was worse.

First, we cut bangs for the first time since I was emotionally unstable in university. She made them look great, and made me feel great.

Nikki noticed immediately that I wasn’t allowing myself to take a lot of “me time”, so she developed a crafty plan:

Blonde.

I have never been blonde. My hair has been the same old natural brown for close to ten years. But going blonde was such a wonderful adventure- and guess what?

It takes a super long time in the chair.

This means that every few months, I get three hours with a best friend to relax, catch up and be baby free for a while.

A wonderful gift from a wonderful friend.
