Blow Out

I haven't used a blow drier in years. I'm a night showerer, so it's usually not that big of a deal to let things air dry, but every now and again waiting for my crazy long and thick hair to finally dry so I can flat iron it into submission is a trial of patience.

So when I saw a blow drier at Costco for $15, I decided it was time to get on board with fried but quickly dried hair.

After the next shower, I let things air dry for a bit, got frustrated  with waiting around for so long and decided to go use my new toy. And walked out of the bathroom looking like this:

Yes, Zach laughed his head off. And so did I. Silly me, I assumed that all you did with a blow drier was point the hot air at your hair, and it would dry and look like normal dried hair. I assure you, that is not normal, dried hair for me. Apparently it is possible to mess up something as simple as drying your hair, because I certainly did.

Apparently I now get to learn yet another piece of normal girl life. And just when I was starting to learn how to wear matching outfits other that jeans and t-shirts.

Or I could just continue to flat iron my hair into some semblance of normalcy.

(Also, I would like to point out that I'm not wearing any makeup in either of these. Granted, posting that first picture just about killed any hopes of blog vanity, but still.)
