The countdown to Paige Drummond's wedding is on, and her matron of honor Alex just checked off a very important item on her own to-do list: a fresh haircut and color.

"Mommy is getting her hair done for the first time since you were born," Alex said in a video to baby Sofia ahead of the appointment. "For the first time in eight months. Last time I got my hair done was October, for my baby shower. Can you believe that?" She added that Sofia would be spending time with Ree while she snuck away for a little self-care.

After the appointment, Alex showed off her new 'do (and fresh attitude!) in a classic, post-salon video taken from the car. "The A.C. is really giving the windblown look right now," she said. "I did not realize how much I needed this...but this is the hair reveal. I love it! So fresh for summer! I'm obsessed. I don't know why it took me so long to do this but... chef's kiss."

She captioned the moment with "I needed this in my soul"—and anyone can relate to the feeling. There's nothing like a fresh cut to boost your mood! Between juggling the responsibilities of being a new mom and helping her baby sis get ready for her big day, it sounds like this was the perfect moment for a little reset.

With just days to go until Paige walks down the aisle, the entire family (dogs included) is gearing up for the big celebration. And now, Alex is feeling refreshed, recharged, and ready to stand by her sister's side—with great hair, of course.
