A Hair Story in Pictures
Like I mentioned on my About Me page, I change my hair a lot. Allow me to demonstrate.

May 2005 
July 2005
November 2005 (longer and blonder + bangs)
March 2006
May 2006 (I wonder if my hair was poking my friends in the head.)
July 2006. I think this was the shortest I’ve ever had it.
August 2006. Hi faux-hawk. I miss you. 
December 6, 2006
December 29, 2006. (I wish I had a picture of my hair about two weeks prior to this picture. It was nearly black – it had faded by the time this picture was taken.)
July 2007
October 2007. (j/k – bald cap for a Britney Spears costume 
)
December 1, 2007
December 31, 2007. Go Jazz! 
September 2008. 
October 2008. (I LOVED this rich auburn color.)
November 2008
December 2008
April 2009. This is as close as I’ve been to my natural color in a long time (this was in April 2009 and the last time I’d colored it before this was in October 2008). So I think I have light brown hair naturally now (it was a lot lighter when I was younger). Sorry about the weird shot; I didn’t want to exploit my darling niece on my blog so I cropped her out.

hi! i just found you through a comment you left at kitchen corners.
i love this post, i change my hair constantly too and i love seeing fun hair journeys!
my votes: May 05, July 07,August 09, Feb 10. blonde looks great on you, you look younger with curls and older with straight. at least from an outside hair doers view.
Thanks for letting me know your favorites! I always like feedback, especially from “outsiders”.
November 2005, and September 2009 are my favorite Teri!!! Miss you girl!!!
Miss you too!!!! Hope you are loving your new town!
I so wish I still had pics left from Middle school….You look exactly the same! Love the Blog!
haha! Yes, I do look the same!
Thanks for visiting my blog! <3
You look so much like Carrie Underwood – it’s remarkable!
oh my goodness, you just made my day!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! I LOVE Carrie Underwood and think she is beautiful!!
Hi Teri! LOVE your hair story in photos – wow – mine would be quite a journey as I shaved my head in high school and then dyed what grew back into various colors. These days, I’m totally dye free and I love it! You are quite adorable and I can see why you are the favorite
wow! you are brave! Did you like having the shaved head? I think some women pull it off beautifully!
Hey Teri!
I love how you’ve tried everything. Honestly, you look good with all of them! Not many people can pull off every hairstyle.
My favorites are: the dark and straight by a christmas tree with a dog, the short wavy blonde with black headband, and at the top under May 2005. It was too hard to decide on just one!
I love your blog! I used to be the same in college and a little after – long hair, 1″ hair, platinum, black and everything in-between! Now, it’s fairly boring
medium color and long. I’m now paranoid of cutting it which is odd considering my old ways. 
~andrea (yogabyandrea.com)
haha! I love finding others that understand the desire to change! But that is funny that you are scared of cutting it now!
Ooo…this is inspiring…I like the super short one as well as the long blond one with the bangs. But they all look great!
Great. Now I want to get my hair done! Do you have a stylist do the color or do you have any at-home tips? It would be so much fun to change it up often, but I’m my natural color right now because we’re trying to save $$. Ho hum.
I used to color my hair myself about 7 years ago but I’ve been going to a stylist since. If you do it at home, I would use a demi-permanent color since it won’t damage hair as much and if you don’t love it, you can get it to wash out more easily by shampooing it multiple times.
I would probably never try blonde by myself but I’m more daring with brunettes from a store box of color.
Your hair grows amazingly fast! I love the auburn on you, but each color truly looks amazing. I admire you taking so much risk with the different styles!
Hi! I found your site through Janetha’s.
I LOVE you hair story; it’s amazing how many looks you were able to have! 
My favorites are May 2005, July 2007, August 2009, and Feb 2010! 
BTW, how did you curl your hair in the Aug. 2009 picture since your hair is so short? I LOVE it! 
Hi Marie! Thanks for visiting!
I curled it with a small barrel curling iron, starting by grabbing the hair up by the root and twisting down. It’s hard to explain…perhaps I’ll do a video on it soon!
Yes, please!
copper/red with bangs and layers..deffinately the most flattering colour on you!
the long version!!…(pic with dog and bf)
thanks! that’s one of my very favorites too!
May 2005 & Dec 2008 are my favorites!
those are two of my favorites too!
If you love Pureology you will go crazy for Alterna Caviar Shampoo/Conditioner and the masque. Have you tried them I think they are superior to Pureology by far, definitely worth the price…
The snow is great in Park City !
oooh, I’ve never heard of that brand – I’ll check it out. thanks!
I keep coming back to this post as I try to decide what to do with my mop of hair! I LOVE how confident and gorgeous you are in your many hair styles! I will keep coming back to build up my courage to go shorter
Midlife Cruiser´s last [type] ..Extra- extra
thank you! I hope this page helps you get the courage to cut it – having a short hair style is so liberating for some reason! I feel like I can conquer the world when my hair is above my shoulders!
I adore this “hair journey” about you! I am constantly changing my hair too – combined with my weight loss, I’ll meet people that I had a class with in college that have NO idea who I am!

that is AWESOME!
I LOVE May 2005 – but mostly i’m just shocked at how many looks look GOOD on you! I just found your blog and if I didn’t like it i’d probably hate you. (due to jealousy
) I’ve had the same hair FOREVER. True story! 
Found your blog from hungry meets healthy – love it!
hahaha! Well, I’m glad you don’t hate me!
I’m so glad you came to visit my blog! I just looked at yours – I LOVE that striped dress you posted on Thursday!!
last one DEFINITELY
thanks! I love that one too!
I hardly ever change my hair and I never color my hair, so this was fun for me to see. I think you look much younger with waves and hair to at least your shoulders. I think short and straight ages you. Not that it’s any of my concern… but you asked…
that’s great feedback – thanks for sharing! I’ll especially take note as I’ll be turning 27 this year!
Hi, I just found your blog thru Fitnessista! You really can pull off just about any hair color! I love your blond and brown colors equally, do you get that a lot?
I have to comment on your darling new boxer. We just got one too! He’s about 4 1/2 months right now. They are the best dogs ever and I am pretty much obsessed with mine
xo Kat
WOW! I love it when people are adventerous with their hair because I am most definitely not. It is hard to pick a favorite because you are just so adorable! But I really like the November 2005 picture.
wow i love this page! you are so lucky that you can pull off every single kind of hair color/style and look stunning in ever single one. i’m a little jealous, my jet black eyebrows force me to stay in only the brown/black color range.
Mila @ loftyappetite´s last [type] ..the green monster
You probably have the most stunning face of anyone I’ve seen.. which is why your hair looks amazing in every color, length, and style! Completely jealous.
November 2005 and November 2008 are my favs…. although you’re GORGEOUS in all! Love your blog!
Wow, you look amazing in every shot. Love the Nov 2008 with your puppy. What colour did you use ?
Love your blog !!
You carry the reds and browns beautifully! But you look good regardless, so have fun with it!
Now I’m re-debating what color to do my hair this week… I could do a similar blog of all the colors I have gone through (not as drastic with cuts though, I’m scared of going too short!). Currently at a dark blonde. Done with black. Not a fan of my natural. Miss the red/browns at times. But don’t miss the hair stripping process!
You look amazing in all the different colors and lengths! Even though I always advocate going brunette [since I am one
], but I have to say, I think I like you best as a blonde. November 2005 is my favorite! <3
Amanda Jewell´s last [type] ..June Goals… albeit a little late
Thank you! and thanks for your vote! I always felt most “myself” as a blonde but I’m quite digging the red right now… but I know I’ll always default to blonde eventually.
i love the june and august 2009. I just got my hair cut really similar to this and am blonde too so i might be partial
I think May 2005 and October 2008 are my favorites. You really do have a great colorist! The blond looks so natural.
I had to check this out after seeing it on Lisa’s blog…oh my God, I love your hair. I think you have a trick…short to long to short and colored. Somehow…it looks absolutely 100% healthy! How do you do it!?!
And by the way….love your blog and just have to tell you, you’ve got such a beautiful smile!
OOOOOO! Tons of changes. So inspiring. I never ever change my hair!!
You look gorgeous in every rendition!
Just found your blog and I am loving it! xo
the december 2010 hair
I think I just found my Hair Soulmate! I totally do this too, ALL THE TIME, and have been wanting to create a post just like this one! You’ve officially inspired me to share some of my hair changes with the world, too. Happy cutting/dying/blowdying/curling/highlighting/etc!

Hi Teri,
I just stumbled upon your blog through the fitnessista. It’s incredible how beautiful you look with all those different styles. Every one looks great! Do you have a favorite?
HOW is this the first time I’m reading your blog?!?! Found you from Holly’s blog. I gotta say, you can rock all of those hairstyles, but my favorite was the auburn (oct. 2008)…so rich and lovely!

Do you do or take anything to make your hair grow faster??
I love your faux-hawk!!! I also change my hair all the time, and I’ve been wanting to try this cut forever
Daniella´s last [type] ..Let’s Go Spinning!
Gorg!!!
I love them all! I’m actually insanely jealous that you can pull off any hair style/color.
My hair has been the same for life. Medium length, brown, & straight but sometime wavy. I only get trims & I hate when the hair stylist takes off more than an inch at a time!
Cheers to always changing & look fabulous!

You’re so lucky you look great no matter what you do to your hair!
I stumbled upon your blog from another blog I was reading, and I must say – your hair looks fabulous in any cut/color! I completely understand, as I change my hair color all the time. I’ve done different lengths, too – never above the shoulders though. You’re brave!
Love your blog – keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you!!
Hi Teri,
I love your website. Wow, you look fantastic in ALL of these pictures. It is hard to pick one but I guess I like the last one and the one with the puppy and your husband. As a fellow fitness instructor and someone who is looking to do something “different” with my medium length (below my shoulders) hair that I only highlight and rarely change… What is the easiest hairstyle that you have had. I need to find something that looks good with my face shape (narrow and long) as well as my hair type (thick and semi wavy). I usually blow it out with a round brush or let it air dry. Any thoughts are appreciated.
You need to update this!!! So many changes since Dec 2010
