It’s not the chitchatting of a hair stylist that bothers me. I never like my hair despite everyone’s opinions. I have straight thin hair. This picture is me at a conference but you see what I do with my hair. I pin it out of my face and then move on with my life. (Shawls make me feel classy.) My hair doesn’t get big. It doesn’t get wild. It doesn’t do anything. I can go through a windstorm, and my hair will brush out. It will stay lifeless.
So when Rossie says for my photos to be done, I must be ready, it feels like I’m gearing up for a wedding and not a few photos of myself.
Yesterday I bought one dress. So now I have my 3 options. Today is the hair. Let’s hope this website ends up with a great header of me as that’s the goal. I can share my picture with the world.
This is supposed to be so I’m taken serious in 2016. We are preparing for the future now. Part of me wishes though I could stay home and write the next in my Frosted Game of Hearts books. I have started it and it’s about halfway done. I need time post holidays to get into gear.
I hope everyone is having an amazing day. My rebranding continues.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you style thin straight hair for professional photos?
For professional photos with thin, straight hair, one practical approach is to pin it away from your face and focus on outfit choices — like a dress or statement shawl — to elevate the overall look. Since thin straight hair resists volume and styling, keeping it simple and neat lets clothing and accessories carry the visual impact instead.
What is rebranding yourself for a professional website in 2016?
Rebranding yourself for a professional website involves updating your public image to be taken more seriously. This can include selecting outfit options, getting professional photos taken, and creating a polished website header photo. The goal is to present a credible, intentional image to your audience — essentially treating a personal photo shoot like preparation for an important event.
Should you hire a photographer or take your own website header photo?
Hiring a photographer for your website header photo, as described in this post, is worthwhile when you want to be taken seriously professionally. Working with a photographer means coordinating outfits in advance, styling your hair, and planning the shoot — more effort than a DIY snapshot, but the result is a polished, credible image suitable for a professional website.
