Hair by a Hare

HAIR…. I've always been crazy about my hair. If I'm having a bad hair day then I'm having a bad day. I know that sounds silly but I truly can't help it. It really doesn't help that my last name is Hare. I guess you can kind of say I was born to become a hair stylist...

I remember the first time I changed my hair color. I was in 5th grade and I bought a bottle of Sun-In. It’s basically lemon juice in a spay bottle. I would spray on unnatural amounts in my hair and it turned my hair a reddish orange but I loved it... From then it only went down hill. My grandma would give me chunky highlights. Then I went to box dyes and it was a very unhealthy habit and an expensive one too because I was constantly changing hair color. I can honestly say I haven't had my natural hair color since I was in 5th grade. I really don't mind, other than it would  probably be a lot healthier.

I have been told repeatedly that if I were to have one hair color for too long it just wouldn't be me. Sometimes I wish I could not color my hair and let it grow and stop cutting it. But that just wouldn’t be me. I'm a shorthaired girl whose hair color changes every 3 months. But I like it that way (most of the time).

I became a licensed cosmetologist about 4 years ago. And I have never regretted it. When I first got my license everyone assumed that I would start working in a salon. Which is a fair assumption but I never saw myself working in a salon. I knew I wanted my license but working in a salon wasn’t really what I wanted to do. Most people thought it was odd that I continued to work full time in an office. I love my office job and I love that I am able to do hair on the side. I have had a lot of great opportunities doing hair and I don’t see working on hair as work. It’s more of a hobby for me. I love it!

I truly believe becoming a hairstylist is part of God’s plan for me. Right now in my life I am not meant for a salon maybe one day but not today. I don’t really know why or what Gods plan for my life is. In His timing He is reveling parts of it to me. I am 100% sure that becoming a licensed cosmetologist was part of His plan. It may even be for some reason I may never know. But I know that He has given me this skill and love for hair for a reason.

We don’t always know why God has us do certain things but we just have to listen and obey.

Thank you so much for reading!!! Remember God loves you even when you don’t understand why.

1 Corinthians 12:4-6

 There are different kinds of gifts, but they are all from the same Spirit. There are different ways to serve but the same Lord to serve.  And there are different ways that God works through people but the same God. God works in all of us in everything we do.
