Bed Head
[ 21 November 2007 ]
Tomorrow morning, when you get out of bed,
Walk to the mirror & look at your head.
Though tempting to beat your hair to submission,
Take time to admire its wild composition.
For little you know, every night while you sleep,
Your hair is devising a secret treat.
So when you wake up, before you reach for the comb,
First stop to consider the mess on your dome.
While your instinctive reaction might be to scream “Ew!”,
Bedhead is a gift from the night time to you.
Super-love & cupcakes,
Gala

(omg first comment!)
That’s a really cute poem. I’m tempted to say that your hair is awesome no matter what, and also short…my hair is kindda long and straight, so my bed hair is not so interesting…but I’ll follow your advice! :D
ahaha, bedhair! i am actually a huge fan of bedhair. i like messy ponytails for my own hair, because it is too long to just leave messy on its own :(
yay, it rhymes!
some days my bedhead look is exactly what i normally spend ages trying to achieve: shakira-esque curls! :)
Haha. I love bed head! It’s so cool. Like pixies have been working in your hair while you were dreaming.
my hair has a tendency to straighten itself while i sleep… it’s great, because i just have to spray the fly-a-ways and i’m set!
One day, I will master the messy hair look! But for now, I just look like birds attacked my head. :)
What’s that thing on the wall above your head?
que lindo! (who cute!)
That’s cute! Love bed head. Although my long hair sort of just looks poufy in the morning, unlike your cool hair Gala! :)
Valerie — It’s a picture of some birds. The same picture as this… http://flickr.com/photos/galadarling/494617251/
My hair looks like an afro in the mornings… my hair is down to my mid-back, and is curly… I love bedhead!
You look like you are wearing a crown/head-dress!
There’s an entire LiveJournal community devoted to bedhead… I can’t remember what it’s called (and will be tres embarrassed if it’s “bedhead”) but it’s delightful.
I’m really into wild curls right now and sleeping gets my hair half way there. I rarely brush my hair – a quick run of the fingers does the job.
Mind you I have been the victim of a few morning time giggles when the curl factor has hit the roof and resembled somewhat of a birds nest! Quite the morning treat for some!
It’s the only way to go! I know no other!
Just how the pillow intended it to be…why mess it up I say!
In Japanese it is called neguse…I often have friends and children say to me mata neguse (bed hair again) like it is something to poke fun at …little do they know, it is one of the yummiest feelings in the world!
I love your funky neguse!
Beautiful!!
If my bed head looked as nice as yours I would leave it alone. Undortunately my curls are a mess all the time and not a pretty one.
The poem is gorgeous and so is your hair.
Kisses.
hee! cute poem.
unfortch, my hair is so straight that when i wake up, my hair looks exactly the same as it did when i fell asleep.
i rarely brush my hair, like brooke. and i also rarely condition my hair. i’ve noticed that when i condition my hair, the next day my bedhead hair is really quite ugh and my fringe has gone crazy curly in all different directions. whereas when i don’t condition my hair, my bedhead hair is like a dream come true!
haha i love this poem…
my hair is in a constant state of bed-hair-ness… its jsut wont go “nice and neat” so i leave it all big and fluffy..
i think everyone should embrace bed hair, there should be a bed hair day!
Aww, that is such a cute poem! I never get real bed head hair, mine is too straight and long. All I get is a bit of fluffiness, which just looks like it needs brushing :(
ahaha, gala honey your hair must be a little damaged from all the dying, it looks like it’s already styled when you wake up!!! that’s so unfair!!!
my hair, after all the coloring, is somehow still very very straight and fine, so most of the time it looks the same as when i went to sleep. OR, it just looks flat and limp as hell. very very unsexy. haha.
I love the poem! busily sending it to everyone I know
My hair, unfortunately, looks like I’ve just gotten out of a long night at the bordello, or like I’m an angora rabbit who’s gone on a bender. That’s with or without bedhead.
Therefore, when I have to look professional rather than freshly-effed, it goes up in a 40’s style roll.
Gala,
I’ve got a secret to tell you, it’s not pixie work. It’s elves. They love to play with your hair at night, but the young ones get carried away. That’s why they call them elf-locks.
Shhhh!
(I’m so lonely in this new country – I think I’m going quietly insane!!!!!)
aww, what lovely pictures! I rather wish I had charming bedhead hair; mine never needs combing in the mornings because I have no volume.
You look exactly like Eva Amurri in the second picture, and she rocks my SOCKS off.
did you write this? its so cute :]]]
In theory bed head sounds really cool, but when I wake up in the morning I look like I just escaped from prison or something. :/ Not a good look.
Ah, well.
Hiihii ~ I usually go with my bedhead in the mornings, add a little hairspray and straighten my fringe and that’s all there is too it! :]
=>.<= is new I found your site by googling bento lunches (I’m quite keen on making one – I just ordered a bento box from eversolovelyEbay xD), and I’ve fallen in love with it! I also found out about EFT here, and so far it’s really useful! Handfuls of fluffie kudos for you!
Love, dork lala!
Bedhead is my everyhead! :) props G. Darlzzz heehee
how sweet!
Lovely. My boyfriend always has the cutest bed head, it makes me happy.
The second pic reminds me of Maria de Medeiros!
I am so proud of my bedhead at the moment!
It’s the same length as yours and it goes NUTS!!
Yours looks gorgeous, an it does look like a head dress.
I recently got my hair cut short, so now every morning when I wake up my curls look super cute. _
i’m pretty terrible, i hardly EVER brush my hair (OOPS!) cos it just goes frizzy… so usually i have bed hair all day!
someone actually commented on my hair once when it was particularly bed-headed, and said they liked it and how did i get it to stick out at the ends of the curls?!?!!
OMG!
I like bed-head! I think that frizzy hair is actually the epitome of cool- there’s nothing like a little unrepentant frizz.
That is so lovely! I always do that and wonder for minutes if I would look too ridiculous if I just go out like that. But my hair is way to curvy-wavy, so probably it would just look like I just got out of bed!!! hahaha, and by the way, you look lovely, as well!
i have curly hair it just tends to dreadlock while i sleep its looks ultra cool. but underneath its knot city!
xx
i love your bedhair!!
oh sure, it’s easy to say that when your hair looks like sex on legs :P
...
okay, that made no sense. whatever. you have gorgeous bed hair is my point :)
i love bed hair anyways! it just looks so “i-partied-too-hard-last-nigh-and-now-my-eyes-and-voice-and-soul-are-smokey-but-that’s-how-i-roll”. for shizzle :D i just wish i could get it to stay that way!
I do declare that all week next week I shall not brush my hair. Bedhead-o-rama!
*next week because it’s introduction to yr 12…lame. But bedhead will make it better.
bedhead is great!
Haha, my boyfriend loves my bedhead. It defies gravity in really ridiculous ways and he calls me a treasure troll and delights in pulling at it until it’s all standing straight up.
Bedhead is wonderful. I love when I have my hair chopped really short that it tends to stick up at odd angles. How I love my bedhead.
Ooh I got my hair cut short yesterday… A nice chunky, messy look. Hope my bedhead involves odd angles! Delightful!
Kx
bed head is incredible.
