I really have no explanation why it always takes me so long book an appointment to get my hair done.

I mean, the experience is nothing but pleasant! Even if you leave the whole “New hair, beautiful me” – thing aside, what is not to love?

Sitting in a chair with some tea and a book for more than two hours without getting up to a) wipe up spilled milk or b) wipe a bottom or c) wipe away tears due to spilled milk or wiping a bottom is an occasion so rare, I almost forget that a long time ago every weekend was supposed to be like this.

I vow not to let 13 months pass before I venture in the world of bleach and blow drys again!

With a new do however come certain needs, the most pressing one: The need to take about 279 selfies, changing up the parting, the angle, the lighting, you name it.

Which has me facing the next problem: I am rubbish at taking selfies.

Even if I accept that the model is to blame if I don´t like the majority of my pictures, there are still so many other things I need to work on.

Keeping my eyes open, for example, and figuring out the best lighting and how not to have the loo or a heap of dirty laundry right behind me.

Think I am exaggerating? No way, and as proof I will share a little “Behind the Scenes”, or “Outtakes” selection with you, all created on a Monday morning at 6:30 am.

There are many more, and only one that actually made the cut and got shared on my instagram stories. Now if only I could remember where I stood, and which way I tilted my head and held my arm, so recreating something similar would become easy.

Any tips for the perfect selfie you´d like to share?
