Quarantine Messy Lob Haircut by the Hubby

My untamed hair right after roughly blow drying. My hair is naturally curly/coilly so I only straighten it once a week.

After Benji was born I was dreading the famed postpartum hair shedding, so I decided to get ahead of it by cutting my hair!

I had a ton of breakage and split ends so I figured, better to start with healthy hair than unhealthy hair.

The only problem: I was too nervous about COVID to go to a salon…

So I nervously handed my husband a pair of shears and hoped for the best! I told him I wanted a “blunt cut lob” and showed him a photo. If the cut came out horrible I knew I would at least be able to style it into a messy/beachy style for the remainder of the summer.

Turns out he did a great job! See before and after below!

I may never go to a salon again and just pocket that cash from now on ;)

A week before the chop…

And after! So much healthier looking and feeling.

And honestly this is more what it looks like every day. Once I straighten and style my hair for the week I just pin it up at night and shake it out in the morning!

If we weren’t inside all day I may smooth down the flyaways with some finishing cream :)

Would you ever have your partner or friend cut your hair?
