I take back my "Cut It!!!!!", do what's right for you.
I agree! Like Niamh, I've cut off my long hair a couple times and I've always regretted it. Although my suggestion would be if you really feel the need to cut it, don't do layers because they are a nightmare to grow out. If you keep the length and just put layers at the end, that's not so bad but if you're going to go short, find a style where you can keep things at one length, that way, if you hate it and want to grow it back out, it won't take as long and it won't be nearly as painful. I went from middle of the back to one of the ugliest short, shag-like haircuts in the world and it took me a good couple of years to grow out all the layers and get it back to the length I wanted it. I could show you pictures but I would never get over the humiliation. :sick: :blush: :rolleyes:Quote:

Mmm that toast looks to die for kiz! I´ve already eaten too much on my holiday(must make up for it in looooots of running when i get back), so I might pass this one.
Aww, I´m sure it wasnt that bad Idril. We always think we look worse than we do :pQuote:

Hopefully my Aunt will be able to help me once I'm down in Mexico. At least my hair grows back fast.
Aww, Mortis, I'm sure you look fine. Cheer up! :)
Don't worry: YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH HATS!
Mortis, a pretty girl should never worry about her current 'do' ... Hair will grow back, and at least now you have taken that plunge that you were unsure of only days ago!

It was embarrassing. I remember trying to disguise it by putting the short part back in a barrett. And I tried headbands but it wasn't foolin' anyone. I had a mullett (but I guess back then a lot of people had mulletts) and I knew it was a greasy haircut to have
(I hesitate to post here -- everytime I do, I feel like I am that girl at that party that everyone ignores --- I'm just hanging out drinking my punch talking to nobody so somebody better at least agree with me that mulletts are bad, or better yet, tell me about the time you had a mullett)

And I thought my mum cutting my fringe unevenly was bad.... Actually, I got used to it and I didn't care that much, but on reflection, mum does. Now I've grown out my fringe because I got sick of having to trim the (what I call) Devil horns.Quote:

I would have had the mall hair but I wasn't so skilled with the curling iron. And my hair would not hold the poof and I felt so inadequate. Luckily, by the time I got to high school, mall hair was over with and if you ever did see anyone wearing it, they were probably on drugs or something and still listening to winger while most everyone else had moved on to Pearl Jam)
When I was little it was: short, short, short boyish haircut. Most people tought I was a guy if i didn't wear earrings (where talking before and 10 and cleavage). My mum *evil* was the one who cut my hair. but the bangs were worse: imagine extremely curly hair with bangs! Luckily she didn't know what a mullet was!
And yet, none of these can compare to the horrors of the

PIXIE CUT
DA DA DA..... (evil orchestration)
My mom MADE me have a pixie cut as a small girl and I still harbor ill feelings about that damn hairdo... :flare: :flare: :flare:
I don't know what it is. How does it look like (pic?)
I am posting a pic that I found Googling. I have altered the pic only to display the hair style that I was talking about.... so that explains why I have 'disguised' the face of the girl with the pixie cut:
http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s...xiehaircut.jpg
No offence to the young lady, but you can see that the close crop of the hair was not really that flattering, and my hair just hung (flopped) short to my face, no style at all.... like a bowl was put on my bean and snip snip away....
Once, the hairdresser was smoking, and the ashes of a cigarette that was badly needed to be flicked away, dropped on my neck when he was snipping and I jumped and he cropped away too much above my eyebrows. Oh my word, you really should have seen the mess I was. Grrrrr! Thankfully smoking in the hair salons is a thing of the past...
hellloooo

Hello, Opti! I welcomed you back in another thread, but hey, it SURE is good to see you again!
Would you like a piece of this delicious danish roll that I am enjoying? Coffee or tea (we have some lovely peach tea, just 'cuz Downy loves peach!) :)
My mom got me the pixie cut once, too. I have to agree about not liking it at all. It is way too short and on most little girls it makes them look like a little boy.
Agh, I must agree the pixie cut looks pretty horrific. A nice short,above the ears mushroom cut can sometimes be pulled off as cute...
Well speaking about hair, a couple of years ago I decided to use a highlighter and it rendered my wheat blonde hair with streaks of that platinum blonde look, but it also rendered my hair to be totally impossible to comb out after washing. What a nightmare it was for quite some time. I am now in the process of still growing that out. No more for me. (btw it was a hair dresser who did the job, not some cheap homemade stuff, either!)
UNLESS ... someone can give me a pointer or two as to what went wrong there... So many other girls highlight their hair in the streaks (you know?). Does every one of them pull out half their hair after washing it, or was it just my bad luck? :sick:
Yeah, I've had the pixie cut too. My hair was so curly and always poked me on the eyes.
KP: Maybe your hair got really tangly?
Not more tangly than usual (I have curly hair, too, remember, until I straighten it). No, it was feeling like straw, what a price to pay for light streaks... :sick:
My hair is dark brown and I've only gotten purplish/maroon highlights before and haven't had any problems. I think it was the hairdresser....Quote:

I know that probably seems weird, but sometimes it is the only way to find out information. :)Quote:

Of course, buying me some hair conditioner might have helped but anyway. I ended up looking like one of those kids on the cans of Campbell's soup. :lol:Quote:

Tell me, is that better?! I don't think so. :rolleyes:
I like that yellow sweater thing-ma-jig you've got on there Idril (seriously - it reminds me of when I was little)
About blonde highlights kiz, I had mine highlighted for the longest time and didn't have problems combing it out either. I did use shampoos and conditioners that said "For color-treated hair" or "Moisterizing" though --- maybe that helped out a little.
My guess is that Kathy is right and your hair stylist left your foils in too long (or did you get the dreaded cap?). Don't you hate it when you get a bad hairdresser? I strayed from my normal salon and tried to have someone darken my hair because I was sick of the highlights and I ended up with this soupy looking goldish greenish hue :( Then I had to spend big bucks again getting someone to weave lowlights and highlights through it to disguise the poopy color.
Now I am back to my natural color which is real dirty blonde (and I was born with hair as light as Idril's in those photos up there -- why does it have to darken?).
I am considering red hair. I am going to go with a demi-permenant and wear it around until it washes out and see if I like it. I had a semi-permanent red dye job at Christmas that washed out -- it was okay but I did it myself and I think a professional could have selected a more flattering shade perhaps.
Papayahed, Niamh, Kathy and Shalot, you are all probably right on the money. It is likely the hairdresser. And Shalot asked if the 'dreaded cap' was used.... IT WAS!! She used a steel crochet hook and pulled out my hair through those wee holes.... which set off my sneezing reflex (does anyone else have that -- where if your hair is pulled you sneeze??)
So after getting half bald, my hair was brightened, as I thought it would be, my wallet was lighter, and I have to fight with my hair every single time I wash it...
My friend, Billie, works at a corner drugstore, and she wants to get me the home streaking kit (L'oreal, I believe it is), and 'do it proper' (to quote her). I have lost faith in products because my hair is not the best its been...
But thanks all for your input.
Shalot, perhaps, since you did like the red dye you tried, maybe see a professional you trust (ha!) and get something that will last, as you say. It is so much fun getting a new look.
And Idril, you are adorable with either long or short hair. Both pictures are very sweet. :)
I didn't look any where near as cute as that second picture of yours. Probably because with very short hair my head resembles a poodle's coat. :sick: :lol:Quote:

You are all very kind but I think it's just the ugly clothes, they make you feel sorry for me. :p :lol:
And Kiz, I can't imagine sneezing while my hair was being worked on with one of those hooks, how much hair was ripped out?
aw. let me ask you, did you ever get called "son" or asked at a restaurant what "this young man would like to eat" after you got the do shortened?
you look adorable, btw.
Poor Niamh with that tuff ... and kids can be mean, we have all been made plenty aware of that eh?
** thinks back to a small bald spot that the kids made me aware that they noticed... hmmmmmph ** :crash: :crash:
Thank goodness someone understands about that sneezing thing -- it is so difficult to explain .. it almost sounds crazy! And I also get it with the bright light, which makes going to the dentist somewhat of a chore, er, shall we say...! :lol: :lol:
I never had that experience where my mother chopped off nearly all my hair, but she did comb it rather harshly, as I remember. :( I have very thin, tangle-succeptible hair and it is not cool. I brush it for a couple minutes a day and use conditioner, but I refuse to do anything else. It may have some tangles in it, but I like it that way. :D
My sympathies to those who actually did get teased by the kiddies in school because of that, though. :(
My mother would comb my hair "briskly" when she was in a bad mood. And I really didn't like to comb my hair much until I was in the fourth or fifth grade maybe. One time I decided it would be a good idea to put baby oil in my hair. That made her really mad. I remember her saying, "You can't go to school like that!" and she vigorously washed my hair with some stinky shampoo. And it still didn't work and I think she called me a dope. And then my teacher asked me what happened to my hair when I got to school. She shouldn't have called me a dope but I shouldn't have done that. Anyone ever cut their own hair?
And I had an aunt who liked to french braid hair but she would pull it so tight that it made my head hurt and I would was one unhappy little girl until I pulled that braid out and then she had the nerve to be offended that I pulled out her braids ("you took out your braid!!" she said, all surprised about it)
Little girls are not dolls and should not be treated as such!
Oh, poor Shalot! That sounds like the kind of thing that would send you to a therapist's office.
No no! I like the clothes - especially the yellow thingy in the first picture. It really does remind me of being little. In some ways childhood kind of sucks because you hope for the days when you don't have to clean your room because your mom has gone psycho, but most of the time it's really magical. I mean you can PLAY! You can sit there for a long time and play with your little toys and be perfectly content for the longest time.Quote:
