Alex Drummond has officially entered her bob era!
The Pioneer Woman’s daughter recently hopped on Instagram for a quick little catch-up after spending a long weekend at the ranch with Sofia. She was back home in Dallas, latte in hand, and taking a few quiet minutes to herself before Sofia woke up. (Any mom knows that window of time is precious. It might be ten minutes, it might be thirty seconds, but either way, you take it!)
“First order of business, I chopped my hair off,” Alex said in the video. Her hair now falls right around her shoulders, with loose curls and a little more blonde to go with the new season. She also explained that the change wasn’t just about wanting a new style—her hair needed a full reset.
“I chopped my hair off because my hair was so dead and it was overstimulating me,” she said. “I just told my longtime hair girl, Amber, that I needed a chop.”
That’s about as relatable as it gets! There comes a point when the breakage starts feeling less like a hair issue and more like a personal attack. Alex said she was “tired of dealing with the dead ends” and wanted “a healthy, fresh start.” Enter the mom chop!
“It feels very nice to have a fresh chop,” she said. “I also got some more blonde in there for the summer.” And the timing is actually perfect! Alex said the new hair feels like “a really nice, light, healthy way to start the summer and to start the latter part of my pregnancy.” She also shared that she enters her third trimester this month, which she called “so wild.”
“In a lot of ways, this pregnancy feels like it has flown by,” Alex said. “But then sometimes I take a minute and I’m like, oh, it feels like I’ve been pregnant forever.”
That sounds about right! Time can fly and crawl at the same time, especially when there is a toddler at home and another baby on the way. But at least Alex is starting the next stretch with healthy hair, a little more blonde, and zero regrets.
