Well, it was pretty easy until it started to rain non-stop. I keep getting wet regularly on daily basis.Quote:

Perhaps the time has come for a close crop? Wet weather plays havoc with the bouncy look. I got caught in a colossal downpour on a day-trip to the Blue Mountains outside Sydney - I'd had a really short cut before I left for the trip, designed to minimise fussing over hair while travelling, so as soon as I got to a Ladies' Room (or should that be Sheilas' Room?), I stuck my head under the hand dryer, ruffled my drenched locks with my fingers in the hot air stream, shook my head and emerged more or less dried and 'styled'. I was a bit red in the cheeks and I'd no doubt confirmed a few Oz suspicions about the loony Poms - certainly got a few startled looks- but it worked!
Hey, great idea! Will remember it next time I am wet and have access to a hand dryer!Quote:

Just to remind anyone who happen to live in humid climates and have wavy hair:
Do not forget to use conditioner in the shower!
I am perfect for Frizz-Ease commercials at the moment. :-/
Well, since Scher seems to be resurrecting all the old threads I'll mention my horrendous hair day. I've been sick, and with super-thick hair one night's sleep gets it pretty tangled, but a day and two nights in bed equals rats nest! I really should have braided it. It's going to take _forever_ to brush out. I think I might just have to shave it all off, like I'm always threatening to do.
We have a very bored Scher in our hands tonight :D
Combing before rinsing off the conditioner in the bath doesn't help?
Putting in a whole bottle of conditioner is going to be the only way to it keep from coming out with the brushing or from getting shaved!
Ack!!
We have a bangs crisis!!!!
Yeah!
I dyed my hair at home and it didn't stick to the gray very well. It's weird all my gray are sprouting from one specific area, kinda like Bonnie Riatt. Then two hair cuts ago I went to a different stylist and she did something wanky to my bangs now when the get to a certain point I have a giant cowlick.
i need to dye my hair. I had bad hair morning when i got up. whitney huston a la bodyguard had nothing on my hair this morning! :p
I think I will let my hair grow again.
At the moment it is barely touching my shoulders.
I guess I'll mention this here. The other day (oddly enough through an image search of Dorothea Brooke) I came across a forum called The Long Hair Community. It was a very active forum, with women obsessive about growing long hair. They talk and talk and talk about how to grow their hair, and what to do with it, and how long it is, etc.
I have relatively long hair, and I'm not completely immune to female interests. But seriously, I don't know whether to laugh or cry about women so obsessed with hair.

Well, um... I'm not saying that membership on such a board has no uses. It would probably benefit me, since I should learn to do more with my hair, rather than always threatening to shave it. But it just seemed like those women spent an inordinate amount of time and money, growing their hair to great lengths.Quote:

If my hair were that curly, I would look for ways of dealing with it as well. Even now, I have to use some product to tame mine although it is only wavy.
What is the craziest permanent hair colour have you ever had?
I'm having a bad hair month. Its in need of a cut and a dye. I've spotted more greys in the last two months than in the last year... I think its all because of college. :p
I know... Which is why I keep studying. There is always a ready excuse to blame the bad hair days on!Quote:

Last month, I used the same dye I use all the time, Loreal cream, and it turned my hair a fake cheap wig shade of blue black. Fortunately, I wash my hair daily and either put conditioner or mousse in it. I could probably dye again in 4 weeks; but I wait 6.
Oh, a few years ago, during a thin hair period, I tried that Feria, a black with maroone highlights...my head looked like it was bleeding; so I wore a wig until I got rid of the color.
Right. Those of us who wish we had curly hair, probably just don't know the trials attending it.Quote:

only not as much gray. I saw this lady at the pool the other day and she had purplish highlights and she said she got the highligts to cover the gray. I would love purple highlights!!! But I don't necessarily want to keep dying the gray.
I think the grey in the picture is rather cute... And so are the purple highlights.
All my hair was dyed plum a few years ago.
So, I say give the purple highlights a try... You live once! :D
I think this woman probably needed the eye to move to her hair because her facial features are very sharp...Quote:

During the past couple of weeks, when the weather was dry and warm, my hair was rather good but now that the rain is back, I am back to being a dandelion!
:-/
So when people blow your hair flies away, and each hair grows into another wig that is impossible to get rid of next year?
Wishful thinking!Quote:

Due to humidity I've been going curly for a couple moths now. Yesterday I decided to straighten and it looked like crap. Is it the hair cut, have I lost my round brush wielding ability?? ack!
Of course it is the hair cut!Quote:

This made me realise maybe my hair is now long enough to donate again... I cannot believe it's been more than 3 years since last time.
I am just wondering if I want to do that before Christmas and look like an urchin during the holiday season... On the other hand, it is good to get it over and done with.
Will it not be a little chilly if you cut it all off over the winter? But then again, getting headaches is no good either.
I'm bored with my hair. I have been wearing it in the same style and colour for yeeeeeeeeeears now and I want something different, but I don't really think anything else will suite me as well as this look does. *sigh*
I was getting the headaches because of the cold I had (though I suffer from sinus infections regularly too) but chill factor is something to consider, no doubt. Because of my hair type, I cannot wear hats either.Quote:

Um, maybe not. :D Donating is a nice idea, but anything shorter than shoulder length doesn't really work with my type of hair or face shape. I end up looking like a mushroom most of the time.Quote:

I realise it is a hard decision, though. I was just joking :)
No, I know you were joking...I didn't mean to sound so serious. :)Quote:

Edit: Oh, and kudos to you for donating your hair. I think it's a really great thing to do.
I think I can speak for everyone when I say pictures please.Quote:
