Bed Head


When you have shorter hair you have to sacrifice a lot of things. You trade in  your scrunchies and bows for short and sassy and your curling iron for shaping paste. Short haired girls also don't look as lovely in hats...which really irritates me as I love hats...

But perhaps one of the most frustrating sacrifices we make comes in the morning. Women with long, flowing locks wake up with sexy, tousled hair. Short-haired chicks roll out of bed looking like Andy Warhol. And last time I checked my husband wasn't looking to roll around with someone who looks like him. (I jest, my husband would probably roll around with me even if I were bald...right, honey?)

Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I embrace the wacky hair. Sometimes, like the other day, I even like to capture the crazy moment on camera. Because it's one of those fun and quirky things about being me. Even though I look ridiculous I feel lovely. Because I am, no matter what I look like at 6 am! 

When the idea hit me to blog about it, I thought, who else wakes up looking crazy like I do? And would they feel comfortable broadcasting that to the whole world? So the question is out...do you wake up looking like someone who never learned to brush their hair?

If the answer is yes, and you've got the guts, email me a picture of your most epic bed head and I'll put together another "Bed Heads" post were we can celebrate the women we are and the skin we're comfortable in!

Email any bed head pics you have (for hair of all types!) to culture_connoisseur@yahoo.com. 
Be sure to include your name and a link to your blog for posting purposes.

  3. Oh you're fun! So I would pass for my long sexy tousled hair right? And you're right about you are who you are even at 6am!

  4. Hehe, I love this :) There is a very good reason why I never go to bed with wet hair. ... Short hair + curly hair + sleeping with a wet head = disaster!

  7. Haha, I have hair that is a bit past my shoulders, and I sooooo do not look sexy and tousled when I wake up! I put my hair up, on top of my head, before bed, so its usually a mess of half up, half down. I'll see if I can capture a picture!

  8. That is one thing I don't miss about having short hair. I could never just get up and go anywhere. I had to get ready to go to the gym or run to the corner store. I do love being able to just throw my hair into a ponytail and go now...but I still think about chopping my mane short sometimes! ☺

  11. You are too funny! One benefit of having stick straight Asian hair is that I can roll out of bed without brushing my hair most days. I've only had short hair once in my lifetime...let's just say it didn't work out so hot for me

  16. oh man, i have the worst bed head. it's bad if it's slightly wet, just washed and slept on our not washed in days (i mean...earlier that day) and slept. the worst is probably the days when it's been wet and in a messy bun all day, then slept on. i might have a good one tomorrow am. we'll see. oh we'll see.

  17. LOL! Love this post! I have long hair and I definitely DO NOT wake up with sexy, tousled hair. Though I sleep with it tied back so maybe that does it? Some days my hair is fine, others it's total bed head - if I have one of those days soon, you'll definitely get an e-mail from me! I'm totally in! How fun! :)
