i love style needs to get their hair did

i am giving my hair an improvised hot oil treatment. i didn't bother to do any research, i just mixed some peppermint oil with some olive oil, heated it, rubbed it into my scalp and ends and put a shower cap on.

I'm sure it will work fine. My old stylist used to recommend at-home olive oiling.

i got some v v subtle lowlights but you can't really tell in these pics because apparently my camera loves to overexpose shit! but i think you should all witness the amazing 3-brush blowout so i took a few pics in a mall dressing room while it was still fresh.

pretty!!

xp I think rosemary oil is the better bet, esp. for brown hair.

Sexy hair, tehresa!
I hope you do not mind me asking but is part of your eyebrow white? My best friend has a white eyebrow. It happens to the coolest women, probably.

Does she have any other white spots on her body? Does she have any problems seeing out of that eye?

I mean that you know of, obviously.

Just white eyebrow hairs.

yes, my eyebrow is white. i also have a few very small patches of white skin (but i tend to stay out of the sun and i'm so pale that they are basically impossible to see to anyone but me). it appeared suddenly in middle school... dermo said it was vitiligo - same thing that made michael jackson white!

my hair is the most hilarious trainwreck right now

for a long time, i colored it in with an eyebrow pencil. but it looked moronic. in college, a friend convinced me to leave it white. i had it pierced for a while to be *really* weird. then i took it out because i grew up and had to get a real job.

So you have vitiligo rather than piebaldism, then. (The blindness question was because piebaldism can be a symptom of some really nasty congenital disorders.)

xp Tell us more, Aero.

I mean about your hair problems.

I cut my hair today and added some nicole richie-esque side weep bangs. Looks pretty good and my layer cutting is excelling which is a good thing since cunky perfectly straight layers are NAGL. Also I will be blonde again in the next two weeks.

your hair looks awesome, tza! i didn't realize it was so long - nice!

i had this thought abt growing my hair long again, but watching this week's 30 Rock and jack's line abt liz's hair not being able to deal with florida humidity made me lol enough to understand that what's funny is too true.

side weep bangs! sound sexy with a side of sadness

cunky side weep

I'm sorry, sunny, it just struck me!

In between being amazed that you cut layers into your own hair.

very nice, tza

sunny, do you use thinning shears? thinking about buying a pair

I may need a break-up restyle (haven't decided yet). I am nervous but convinced I could do better... Has anyone used those sites where you upload your photo and try hairstyles on? Any of them any good?

Just made impromptu lunch time hair did appt!

eek

Just gonna go with normal inverted bob I guess. It's OK to stick with what you know works, right?

sometimes it just feels boring

even neon red hair bores me sometimes. but then I don't have a particularly interesting cut..

shoot, any hot roller pro tips? i've got my hair in rollers but i only had enough to do the bottom 3/4 of it and i think the top layers will get curling iron for more control/better curl. but i'm afraid the rollers are going to come out looking scary and the hair will be a mess, and i won't have time to re-do. help!

does leaving rollers in for less long create less scary effect? I have never used them. Go for less time/more subtle effect? I think that would look fantastic on you.

Also if there is a problem at the end of it all, are you any good at up-dos?

as back up i have a clip w/ some sparkly shit on it that i will use for updo or like, half up.
but i am nervous about this bc of strapless dress. i can't find my big gawdy costume jewelry and hair up + strapless will leave me feeling really exposed!

i suppose if rollers look crazy i can try to fix w/ curling iron, but i'm still frightened.

where is my laurel with her hot roller expertise!?

how long are rollers supposed to be left in for?

i think until they are cool. the first ones had cooled so i took a few out. crazy! now i am fixing w/ curling iron and setting w/ a pin. hope this helps!

lol you should do your hair LABYRINTH styles!!

lol!

ok there is half a can of hairspray on my head but i think it looks ok?
i am also wearing 2 bras right now but that is for another thread.... lol.

I have been having bra conundrums, this is a solution I had hitherto not considered.

I haven't worn hairspray since I was about 18 and only recently realized that it would actually help fine hair TONS especially when not recently cut. don't know why I assigned it to the style past.

pics!!!

tza your hair looks fantastic!

i'm sort of wondering if i should go to a different hairdresser.. just once.. though i would feel really guilty, but i feel like my hair is perpetually a complete mess and unflattering :(

i couldn't get any good pics? so who knows. i think it looked nice. in the end, i hot rolled, touched up with iron, set, then touched up with iron again to finish after taking out the setting pins. the rollers were maybe not necessary except they may have added volume? or maybe just extra damage.

daria, your hair always looks great!

just tried... bad light, but may be you can tell?

!!!!

so preeeeeeeeety <3

lol may be? i am tired!

Awwwwww I was either out watching the derby or sound asleep!! But that pic looks lovely, and I'm sure it came out very, very nice. Weird that a set of rollers only held 1/3 of your hair, though?? I do my whole head with a set but they are fat ones.

so I dyed my hair grey and I like it a lot but in certain lighting I think perhaps this would have worked better when I was a dewy 20something.

I solved my looking-for-a-new-hairstyle worries by simply parting my hair on the side instead of the middle. Looks much better now!

yes! When I was about 10 I read something about center parts being bad for almost everyone because it draws attention to the nose and any asymmetry; this has been like an unbendable truth in my life and I have parted on the side since!

I have been growing my hair out for my wedding so that I have the length to get a good updo going on. I told my stylist I want something like this. (!!!)

but let me tell you! I have so many split ends and whatnot because it hasn't been trimmed or anything in months and I am READY TO CHOP THIS SHIT OFF!!
