So there’s good news and there’s bad news.

The bad news is that it is absolutely true about losing a fair amount of hair after childbirth.  The good news is that your hair does grow back.  Unfortunately, you have to go through the awkward regrowth stage when your hair refuses to be part of the team and is intent on standing up and being recognized.

My hairline is a pokey halo of baby hair and despite my most vigorous efforts to beat it into submission, there’s nothing that can be done to prevent me from looking like I fell victim to static electricity.

It’s been something like six months since my last haircut and it’s starting to show.  I’m just waiting for Stacy and Clinton to ambush me in a public place to show me my secret footage of my bad hair days (everyday) and frumpy new mom wardrobe.

More bad news: I spotted two gray hairs in the regrowth. Tempted as I was, I managed to resist the urge to pluck them out.  After all, there is that old wives’ tale that says for every gray hair you pull, three more crop up in its place.  I know, two gray hairs is nothing to cry over, but it just reminds me that I’m not as young as I like to think I am.

I feel the need to reinvent my look.  Maybe I need to get a totally new hairstyle. Maybe even a new color? Something that says, “I’m sasssy, commanding, always in control: I am Mom, here me roar!” Here’s what I’m thinking…

You like?   Okay, maybe not.  Back to the drawing board.

Bonus if you can identify who’s famous ‘do that belongs to.
