Hairstyle For PhotoShoot Session


These pictures were taken on May 2.  I washed my hair the night before and went to the hairdresser the next morning to have it styled.  My hairdresser would normally style my hair in a 'bob' hair style each time I have my hair relaxed.  I had to make specific request to have it styled differently. 

My hair was recently relaxed and I also put a rinse in my hair to hide the grey hairs.  I am getting alot now, but not the amount you would expect for a 50 year old!  But I notice in the second photo, it looks like I am balding a bit - maybe it is because I just had my hair blow dryed.

I have been using baking soda quite a few times in between my thorough hair washing days and it works great.  I would wet my hair, put a generous amount of baking soda in my hand and then massage the baking soda into my hair.  I will then rinse my hair.  Some people like to mix the baking soda with their conditioner before apply the mixture to their hair.

My initial intention was to have my son take some pictures of me with my camera for an article I wanted to submit for a local magazine.  When we sat down, that day (May 2, 2012), to have something to eat and set up to take the pictures, I realized that he had to have a camera (which he did not have) to take picture of me using my camera.

I was able to schedule an appointment (that same day - I could not afford to waste my well styled hair) with a local photographer to take the pictures for me.  I used one of the pictures on my About Me page of my photography website and one to change my profile picture on my facebook photography page.

I would like to aim to have the length of my hair reach to the middle of my back.  Think I can do it????
