Hair Hoochie Explained

I'm Kalamity Kendall, and I am a self-proclaimed Hair Hoochie!


What does this mean you ask?  I got the phrase from my hairdresser, the fabulous Sophy.

She uses the description in reference to women who go with the flow and get new hairstyles on a whim, not bothering to remain faithful to one hairdresser.

I LOVE this phrase. However, I'm using it a little differently. Hairdresser loyalty aside, a Hair Hoochie is a woman who dares to delve into different hairstyles and above all, experiment with different colors. She does it without hesitation, she does it often, and she does it with fabulosity.

As I write this blog, I am embarking on my last week as a blonde (for now).

Here's the thing. I've always been a blonde and have never ventured far from my natural roots, so to speak. But that's all about to change!  I'm jumping on the latest fall trend in hair and going RED!

But it doesn't end there. I will spend the next six months changing hair colors and documenting how the world reacts to me...kind of a social experiment of sorts.

Some of the issues I will address on this blog will include: how hair color affects how I am perceived in social and professional situations, how hair color can bring out other natural beauty features, how hair color can be complemented by wardrobe choices, how to choose the correct shades based on skin tone and eye color, how men and women perceive hair color differently, etc.


Above all, I want to expose how taking a small risk with hair can lead to risks with even greater outcomes or rewards and inspire us to live fulfilling lives of passion.

Going red is a BIG, DARING step for me. I'm nervous! I've never known life as anything else than “the little blonde girl.” We as women get so wrapped up in certain colors and styles, that it almost seems like hair color embodies our identity. But you know what?


 Hair color is a very temporary, easily reversible way to change things up. Sometimes it's healthy and downright liberating to step out of that comfort zone! This is what I hope my blog will prove.

For subscribers to my blog, I will aim to create that feeling of adrenaline that comes from leaving the hair salon with a brand new style and an attitude to match!

I will encourage you ladies all along the way, to send me pictures and stories of your own hair escapades! My goal is to inspire each you out there, to embrace your inner Hair Hoochie and splash a little color around!

XOXO!
