Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

I have a question. What do you think would be a good haircut for someone whose hair is wavy and has a tendency to curl at the end? When I say curl, I mean true ringlets.

I saw an article about wavy hair (let's just forget about the curls for now) and they said to get the hair cut in layers. So, I got it cut in layers (supposedly) and it never looked right. Three people couldn't get it right. Now I am letting it grow out again (but the split-ends are terrible!).

I have to have my hair long enough so that I can tie it back. I need to tie it back for dance and in the summertime. What is a hairstyle that you think could work? I made the decision to not get a haircut for awhile (I can trim my own hair), but if I give in (which I might), what hairstyle do you think would work best?

I would post a photo if I had one (every picture either has my hair tied back like a spinster or done up in some sort of style!). So you will have to use your imagination with this! Thanks. :D

That i think is where the problem is.
For layers to really work in wavey hair it needs to be long. I have wavy/curly mad hair thats straight in some places and like you was told i should get layers. Had hair shoulder length (just above) and it was ghastly with layers. I hated it when i got layers put in, always getting told that they would help my hair, but they never did. Now my hair is much longer, and i have layers and it is much better. Adds shape.

you should let it grow longer. If you go to the hairdressers get them to just trim the split ends and use a thinning scissors. This mkes a big difference. (trust me!) When you hair is partially down your back get the layers back in but make sure the shortest one is just below the jawline. And get a side fringe (think its bangs to you).
Something like this

LadyW, considering your description, your hair sounds a lot like mine. Keep it a little past shoulder length. Mine is about two inches past my shoulders

I SHAVED MY HEAD! :yawnb:
It took about three months to grow back to be an inch long, but maybe my hair just grows crazy fast.

Reading both of these, I have something to say and to ask. First of all, it is funny that you said to get the shortest part in front to be cut no shorter than the jawline. I asked them to do that and then magically everything else got cut so short! I tried to explain to them that I didn't want the choppy layers. I wanted the sort that seemed to flow into the hair. That was actually how the magazine described it after I'd gotten that haircut. I just thought that somebody else in the world actually thinks the same way as I do! How could the hairstylists not understand what was being asked of them? So, they pretty much chopped my hair and made it much shorter than expected. I also told them NOT to style it with any sort of product and they always did. :mad: It kind of amazed me how different people, who work in different salons, did the same thing!

As for what the length it should be, I have a question. Currently (in has been going through a slow growth period) it is about 1 1/2 inches past the middle of my back. So, if I would pull my hair straight (at least the longest part that I have) it would add another inch or so. So it is kind of long right now. Now, do you think that I should maybe try to grow it a little longer? That way when they cut the layers, I will be able to have longer layers, right? Meaning, if my hair is longer, and I ask for layers, there should be enough hair leftover to give me long layers. That makes sense, doesn't it? I am just trying to think of how to ask them to do it.

I want to get bangs. I haven't had them for years, and if I never got layers, I would at least have them to add a little more character to my face again.

What has your experience been with male hairdressers? Have you ever had one? I am seriously considering trying to find one to go to. I have never had a man do my hair. So I can't complain about them. Women have always messed mine up, though. Whenever I see a man do someone's hair on TV, it always looks better than when a woman does it. So I was thinking (and hoping) that maybe a man could come through for me.

Niamh, those photos are really what I did/do have in mind. This one is EXACTLY what I have been trying to get.

This is along the lines of what I have in mind now.
http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/d...gwithbangs.jpg

I should really print these out and take them with me. Wish me luck with all of it. I have to just decide on a salon now. There are just TOO many to choose from!:(

print them out oand tell the hairdresser that they are the look you are looking for. If your hair is already long well them yes you should have long layers. :nod:

heheh, my parents are the same. they are soooo stingy. when I was still living with them, they simply wouldn't pay for a hair cut. So I got used to cutting my own hair and I've never been to a salon in my whole life. I have curly, bushy hair, so it doesn't matter. even if I cut off a bit too much in one place, nobody will notice because it's just a big mess anyway

:lol: Your post made me think of my son and second daughter. They both have very, very curly hair...total ringlets. My daughter has hair to her waist but it's so curly that it looks shoulder length. When my son was in his teens, he was in a band and wanted his hair long so he grew it out. Well, I was doing laundry one day and found a drivers license and gave it to my daughter who put it in her purse because we just glanced at the photo and thought it was hers. My son couldn't find his licenses and was going to go get a replacement when my daughter cleaned out her purse and realized that she was carrying his licenses as well as hers. :lol: They look so much alike I didn't notice it and she didn't either. He has kept his hair very short from that time on.:lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

When a boy is old enough, if he wants long hair that's his choice. But I hate when some people make their sons have long hair when they're only 4 or 5 years old. I have a cousin who has a five year old son who's blonde hair is almost to the middle of his back. It's really difficult to tell that he's a boy. The parents are stubborn though and refuse to cut it.

Shea, cut it for him. you'll be doing the kid a favor...

Actually I had an inverted bob for a while a bit like this
http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...ataclysm_X.jpg but rather shorter at the back ( almost to the roots in places) and more pointy at the front that was a couple of years ago in feb, and its grown to mid shoulder and been bobed a couple of time since then.
Actually it was more like her hair
http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m.../soultitan.jpg
really as it was seeing this at the lovley age of 1 that inspire the wanting of that hairdo, (although it took me 5 years to get it) .
Actually its a style that rather suits me when Im in a thin stage ( which I most definetly am NOT at the moment having yet to shed the horrid freshers Stone.
Actuaqlly now that I think of it this is evidence opf my hairs phenomental growth rate isnt it? Now my only trouble is once I get ridof these splits I will just have to give up plats and braids...
And bobs do suit me best..

:lol: did they ever do Teh dreade..........BOWL CUT! i have the same type hair so everybody pretty much though i was a guy for a while. :blush:

Try moving to North Carolina, people here sure do love my hair, they can't stop playing with it and stuff, creepy!

People are like that with me all the time. Ramdom people. That I don't even know. They come up and boing a curl. Then everyone about has a cow when I straighten it. GAH!

Bakiryu, your add-on after your name has put a song in my head that I can't get out.

Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of Madonna's "Like a Virgin". It's maddening because I can only remember a little piece of it and that piece is playing over and over in my head.

Like a surgeon
Cuttin for the very first time.
Like a surgeon
Got your kidney's on my mind.

Gaaahh!!

Breathe, Shea, breathe. Do you need some hot tea to soothe you?

:lol: Yeah, that sounds good. I'm a cream person though. Hope no one holds that against me.

GAH!! Me, too. I sweeten mine, though. *hands you creamed, unsweetened tea, Earl Grey* You said you only like it sweet when you have a sore throat at another board we were chatting on. I have a photographic memory... :D

:lol: I love that song. We played on my mum's friend's birthday party and he was so angry/amused (since he's a real surgeon)

here ya go love: http://youtube.com/watch?v=N26KWq7MmSc

:lol: I don't know what's worse now, having that song in my head, or the image of Wierd Al dancing like that! Hope your mum's friend doesn't eat burgers over his patients!:lol:

*takes tea gratefully* Much more of that, and I may need to sweeten my tea with honey!:lol:

I get a bit like that but when my hair is MUCH shorter than that, like it is now. When it's that long, it's so straight, but when it's above my shoulders like right now, the bottom gets a bit curly and it's very hard to tame, I was happy I had shorter hair cos I thought it'd take me less time to dry it, but in fact it's just the opposite, I need to spend more time if I don't want crazy bits of hair in weird directions.
My mum has super straight hair and envies me so much. Well I do have enviable hair. :D

Nah, just commenting on the Wierd Al video.:p

Sometimes I get nervous about getting sick though. A friend of mine who is about 8 months pregnant, spent two days in the hospital because of a virus that she and her family had a hard time shaking. The doctor said that it was ok for me to take some airborne if I feel that I need to, but sometimes these pregnancy symptoms feel like a cold coming on that never develops. I'm afraid to take the airborne everday because I don't know what it would do to the baby. I guess the paranoia won't go away after the baby comes, will it? :)

I'd been having dreams that I had a boy, but last night I dreamed that I went into labor and had a girl. I remember more details of it. I think, deep down, I really really want a girl first. I just hope we can agree on the name.:p

Hello..I am new here and have just been enjoying this web site..You guys are a hoot! :)
Shea, congrats on the baby~ :)

Honey or sugar?

I love it in my tea and it's great for your hair. But American honey tastes weird :sick: when I went back to home I drank a full rum bottle of it! :p

:lol:

I was very interested in all your comments on hair. When I was in middle school I was a cheerleader and we all had to have extremely long, no frizz,shiney hair, which meant washing it and creaming it each night and doing whatever each one of us had to do to get the sleek look. One of my friends had perfect and I mean perfect straight hair, not a frizzy hair in sight. It was about down to her waist and she needed a trim to get it all the same length and trusted no one. She asked me to do it and I was terrified. But I did it and she was so happy with the results she told everyone. In no time I was cutting hair. And as I had mostly cut my own or cut and styled it just by looking at a magazine picture I liked that was the next thing that I ended up doing , first for girls, and then for girls and guys. I would come home after an incredibly long day of work(research for legal and other) and there would be guys or girls, but mostly guys sitting on the step waiting for me to cut their hair for a prom or whatever. So I got rather interested in hair itself and studied all I could find on the subject and then I began making my own preparations to achieve that 'perfect' for me anyway look. The actual thought of going into hairdressing is a yawn for me, but still I like trying different things out.
I don't really care much for layered looks except if it is on the fringe (bangs) and they are quite long. The reason is that each hair shaft is like a mirror, if all the mirrors are the same length there is a radiance and gloss that is lost through layering. That to me is like smashing a mirror. You get little glints but nothing more. , So long or short I tend to keep it one length with perhaps a tiny variation like bangs for a change. I went from having absolutely straight hair u ntil about twenty and now it waves but is still soft like a child's. And thick, very thick. So it is work.

Come to Tallahassee and do mine :D

That is basically why I like to have longer hair. It can get in the way sometimes, but, for me, it is actually a lot more managable. Not only that, when I am in doubt, I can always just tie it back into a ponytail or braid it.

I used to have enviable hair! :( I haven't the vaguest idea why it seems so dead and flat now. I think it is the shampoo I have been using. I used to use a generic kind that I absolutely loved (but I can't find it anywhere anymore:( ). This name brand stuff is a killer for me!

even worse, my mum did the dreaded chop-everything-off-and-leave-only1/2-or 1-inch-of-hair cut (not even a crew-cut). she cut my ears a lot, too and even though there was blood dripping from them she'd tell me "bah, it's nothing, shut up!"

hey girls,
my hubby (boy friend) is getting skinnier and skinnier. he's 1.93 metres (6' 4" ?) tall. last year he weighed 74 kg (163 lb???), now he weighs only 70 kg (154 lb???).
maybe it's because he used to eat meat regularly, but now he's 80% veggie? but I gained a lot of weight when I became a veggie, so I don't think it's because of that?

do you know any food that is healthy but will make him gain weight at the same time? i don't mean french fries or the infamous banana+ice cream shake...
does soy/ tofu make you put on weight?

Here's a link to a message board :

This has been bugging me for a while, how in the world can I get my pants to not wrinkle????? I am tired of ironing!!!! Even some tops. I've tried hanging stuff up straight from the washing machine, putting in the dryer for just a few minutes, putting in the dryer for a little longer then a few minutes, and putting in the dryer for less then a few minutes...nothing seems to work, I'm always ironing.

Oh how I hate ironing !!! I iron my husband's shirts because he doesn't want me to bring them to the cleaners.
What kind of fabric are your pants ?
