Chronicles of Hairnia

[Scheherazade]

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.

I belong to a very active website for curly hair, just because we talk about it and share tips and products doesn't an obsession make.

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.

I think growing hair for sake of it (as an obsession) is different from having naturally curly hair and having to deal with it.

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.

I know... Which is why I keep studying. There is always a ready excuse to blame the bad hair days on!

It's tough to go with a new cut and color at once; you and your hair need to adjust. I've been dying my hair since I was 16, that is when I got a gray lock in my almost black hair.
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.

I'm trying to decide if I want to dye my hair. I have a small patch of gray in the front kinda like the lady from What Not to Wear:



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.

[Scheherazade]

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!

I think this woman probably needed the eye to move to her hair because her facial features are very sharp...
Purple might look cute on you and the highlights eventually grow out just like any color does; so you can go back to your gray look if you like.

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!

If that were the case, my hair would be enough to cure the baldness of half the men in the Northern hemisphere!
