i love style needs to get their hair did

i considered MP brushes, but yeah whoa with teh price. could not justify that expense, tho the reviews are glowing.

i bought this for $14 instead. orig got a cheaper one but it was too soft. (diane boar bristle brush at amazon)

haven't used it much, mostly because i can't be bothered. i dunno. seems a good brush tho.

I got mine from Amazon too - this set of 2: link. I had got a spendier one from Ulta at one point, but it fell apart the first time I washed it. I've had this set for over a year.

I started using some argan oil every once in awhile - either stroke it onto my wet hair after detangling with a wide comb, or put a drop or two onto the brush bristles and go to town on dry hair. Seems to keep the frizz and static factors down.

i got my hair cut i got my hair cut! and 'glossed' darker! and...

rrobs you look beautiful and you look like a fucking boss. I love it.

thanks, abbs! i'm so into it and happy :)

abbott otm! you look grrreat!

Whoa, very, very nice rrrobyn!

how is having it 'glossed' sift that a regular dye job?

sift = dift = different

does it make your hair soft? it looks really soft!

from what i understand, it's semi-permanent and doesn't have ammonia in it and fades out differently than a permanent colour - something about adhering to hair differently, i don't know, but i won't have such extreme roots as with a permanent colour when hair grows. it's also really glossy! which my hair needed/"needed"
xp
very soft, yes! but that's also because it's been straight-ironed o_O might have to invest in a pro-quality straight iron - he said he'd order one for me if i wanted! aw friends with small salons :)

but he also said that he cut it so my natural curl/wave would work well and i'm to go back on friday for any adjustments

That looks great! I want to see it with the curl/wave. I bet that is going to look pretty awesome, too.

rrrrobyn i like your haircut but i looooove your face!!

SO AWES. Robyn, that is the haircut I wasn't brave enough to get!! Everyone at the FAP tonight agreed: most awesome hair.

robyn that is the best haircut EVER you look so cooooooool!

but that's not to diminish laurel's haircut which is also the best haircut ever. there can be only two!

You're going under the scissors tomorrow, sister, don't speak too soon.

needed/"needed"

Also I was too sleepy last night to register or appreciate this, but lol

my appt is a week from tomorrow
can't wait!!

It's an epidemic!!

my hair is a total abomination right now. a lady at work was like "but a! you look great, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself" and i was like "lady, i am not trying AT ALL. i can do much better than this." it's like a cycle -- i give up on my hair, it looks like shit for ~ 1 yr, i realize that, i try harder, i get tired of trying, repeat.

currently in must try harder mode, starting next friday. cut AND color. ready for drastic change.

"I can do so much better than this," hahaha, awww you're awesome.
I hate my stupid hair right now. Cutting off the dead ends was very necessary but I hate the length, kinda hate that it's not layered, hate the way my bangs fall.. a big MEH to my current cut. Grow, grow!

I wish I had the guts to do a shaved side! But my hair is VERY thin anyway, so probably a bad idea.

(I think it looks fantastic on your, Robyn!)

that errant R - I meant "you" obviously - but clearly you are meant to be "rRobyn"!

loooooooool Amanda. She's right, though, that lady.

no way man -- she's not right. it's like my head is wearing the equivalent of sweatpants to work and she was trying to tell me that i should be proud? seriously.

What she's right about is that you shouldn't be so hard on yourself, my little cabbage.

I can accept that, but she's plum wrong about my hair looking "good" like this though :D

i can't wait to see everyone's new haircuts! i guess it is haircut season!
finefine, yes, hair will grow, but i also feel like if you don't like your haircut, go get another one that is more interesting/you, because, yes, hair will grow anyway!

i have quite thick hair and so the shaving really works to tame it a bit and not have to blow dry all the time (because it is not only thick but kind of dry), so, like, shaving is actually a practical solution for my hair woes! lol.

That profile shot is album cover material imo.

roobyn: I'm cheap! I already paid for this one - I'll wait a while to let it grow a little more (basically I get my hair cut every 2 or so dyes.. though she trims for free everytime) and then maybe get some layers cut back in. I'm just bitching and moaning for no good reason ;)

lol "roobyn"

I am not planning any drastic haircuts but I do have my hair in a clip today. I had to replace my work ID and in the photo, taken 4 years ago, I have longish hair. My hair is longish now for the first time since I had that photo taken. The dumb, mean lady at the ID place kept insisting I needed a new photo because I had changed my hair. I actually pulled the clip out and shook out my hair (and whipped off my glasses and said "Is it hot in here or is it just you?" (just kidding this lady is an asshole)) because for some reason, "It's the same length. It's just up in a clip" was not registering.

looollll @ (just kidding this lady is an asshole)

xp - people irl soemtimes call me roobin/rubin/rubinder/rubinski/etc

loooove it robyn!

Incredible, Jenny! People are CRAZY. Also - Rubinder! Teehee!!

are there any nice people on your job, Jenny? h8 mean id lady!

I love the administrative assistant in our office! She's super nice and smart and funny and always has good gossip. There's a lady in IT who's hilariously mean to other people but nice to me, which is awesome.

Everybody else pretty much sucks though.

In keeping w/ the thread, the AA has great hair. She and the mean IT lady and I enjoy being very catty about the many terrible, I mean just o_O wig choices our coworkers made. We want to host a very local, What Not to Wear-type show called Wig Intervention in which we swoop into people's cubes and kidnap them and take them wig shopping.

I hair is awful right now. So much so that I have it half up which i never do. I still can't decide what to do with the color. Blah. I need a cut.

It just grows so fast - hate that. I seriously need to get it cut like every 6 weeks if I want to keep it looking good. Obv I don't do that so wind up like this.

my hair is awful right now, too. i don't really believe yours is, Erica; but i think going red would be fun if you're still considering that.

mayyyyyybe

I don't know if I have it in me to keep up with it tho. Probably leave it boring and natural for winter. We'll see.

I am getting a cut & dye tomorrow and I am both really looking forward to it but also terrified! My sister sent me this pic and says I should do my hair like this:

http://shorthairstyleswomen.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Ginnifer-Goodwin.jpg

I am worried it will show off my puffy underchin tho idk

tbh tho there's really no way of hiding my puffy underchin, I need to own this shit

you kind of resemble ginifer goodwin, abbott! i agree with your sister fwiw.

yeah horseshoe otm!

all these crazy short haircuts are making me want to chop all mine off, too

do not worry about underchin (lol "underchin"), for so many people have the underchin incl me and it is imo less of a big deal than most people think, like, maybe it's an issue in photos but irl, it's like, hey whatever (unless it is goiter-sized, which is more worrisome than anything else)
so what i'm saying is GET CUTE HAIR YES
