In late June I decided to get 9 inches lopped off my head in favor of what I started referring to as a “bitchy bob”.
It’s the shortest — and bitchiest — my hair has ever been.
We basically went from this (please pour one out for my wedding dress):
To this:
See? Bitchy.
I asked for my left side to be a little longer than the right, because that’s the way I toss and tuck my hair. I also asked for the slightest asymmetrical cut through the back to make it feel a little more modern and 2024. It was a huge change but I am thrilled with it. For reference, I have very thick hair and lots of it.
The holidays are coming, and I went through HUNDREDS of advent calendars to determine which ones were worth it and not just more stuff.
Want to know what made the cut?
What I learned from my stylist: You need products to keep hair bitchy. After much trial and error, I found what I was looking for in the Captain Blankenship Sea Salt Spray. Non-sticky, non-crunchy (I tried so many products and you wouldn’t believe how many I could not say this about!). Geezer and friend of the pod Ashley Spivey agrees with me: The Captain Blankenship Sea Salt Spray is THAT GIRL.
Now you can get 20% off in my Flagship shop!
Captain Blankenship's sea salt spray is beloved for its natural ingredients, including sea salt and essential oils, which offer a textured, beachy (bitchy!) look while being gentle on hair and the environment. It’s also cruelty-free, which I appreciate. It was also the one product I tried that made my hair look like it was just naturally tousled. At $26 a bottle, the formula I prefer has the shimmer.
Here’s how you use it:
Wash your hair
Squeeze out excess water and comb — this is super important. If your hair is too wet the spray won’t permeate.

DO NOT TOUCH YOUR HAIR OR COMB IT — JUST LET IT DRY.
