I need a yummy mummy makeover...

[lucylu87]

Hi girls. Since having Zak i seem to have lost all confidence in myself. I am still a stone heavier than when I got pregnant, have hardly any clothes that fit and my hair colour has grown out so much my roots are massive! I wanna feel like a yummy mummy and not a big mess! Soo... has anyone got any suggestions for a new hairstyle for me ?? My hair has been the same since I was about 11 and im 24 now ! ! (see my avatar pic). thats when it was nice tho.... its like that but with much bigger roots and a bit longer. I figure my hair is the 1st thing to change because its the easiest and quickest. I just feel like Im no longer a woman or a fiancee, just a mum ! and i wouldnt change having zak for the world, I couldnt describe how much I love him, and I love being a mummy but I dont wanna forget me and who I was before !


So any suggestions would be welcome.. thanks for reading my rant !

I am useless with hairstyles but can't wait to see some suggestions! I know the feeling though...I'm finally back to normal size but most days I just get up and chuck some clothes on, dry my hair and tie it up and I just feel so dull and self-conscious! The few days I've been going somewheire and had to wear something nice and some make up I've felt a million times better, but I just don't do it most days - if I even tried to properly get ready I'd have Sam asking me to make things/do jigsaws/dance or whatever with him and I'd just feel too guilty! I seriously need a makeover! x x

Why dont you have your hair cut into a long bob? That way it is quite low maintanance but you can also tie it up if you want to? Maybe go for a colour that is similar to your natural one and get highlights underneath the top layer so if it grows out then you dont notice it!

I would love one too! Just feel like a slob most days. Then I decide to try and make an effort and put on some make up and stuff, but that only ever lasts about 2 days. I spend most of my time in the park or the playground so can't be asked. But I do feel better on the days I make an effort.

i love changing my hair and appearance haha. i had bum length blonde hair and 2 years ago and SHAVED yes SHAVED it bald for charity!! it grew back and i had it in a long bob for ages, now ive chopped it all off. just go to a salon and say "change me" and they will! haha. also, i have a guilty pleasure of buying benefit make up. its so expensive, but i love goin to their counter in boots, letting them put it on me and then i buy a couple of things. you can also buy it on ebay cheaper. so go have your make up done! x

I'd recommend goin darker-match ur roots a bit so it lasts longer or highlights with a 'veil' of natural hair colour over the top so root regrowth isn't ad obvious. I'm a hairdresser but tbh I've not done much to my hair since b4 Xmas,I gave my fringe a trim the other day (1st time in 4-5 months) and I feel amillion times better already xx

Yay well done you! I got my hair done in Jan but just a trim back into my have a bob and it is easy to maintain and I have grey, yes grey at 29!! So I have to cover the grey a lot but I do it myself x
I am the same with clothes and stuff hun, I went to the docs as I cannot get my wedding ring on and he said I have gained 2 stone since April last year and that I am 4 stone overweight.........way to kick a woman when she is down but I am on weightwatchers now and it is only day 3 but feel better in myself.
