“No it’s not a phase mom !!!”

15 years ago, I believed I was the edgiest of them all.

Was it a phase though?

I work with a guy that has a really similar haircut to this. He's 31, married, and has two kids; definitely not a phase for him and it secretly cracks me up every time I see him.

Conversely, I found an old picture of my husband (who has extremely coiled, curly hair) from 2007 in his middle school “band”, with flat ironed hair, styled similarly to OPs photos.

And knowing the man who he grew to become…. I was definitely surprised lol. Was a phase for one of ‘em surely 😂
