i love style needs to get their hair did

That would look pretty awesome with that epic beard imo.

will do tomorrow

My hair is pretty long now, too, so I rocked a side pony today.

Anybody familiar with using "Monchichi" to describe a hair style? My friend and I had been using it since 1989 and I figured we picked it up from somewhere yet when I have used it, no one else seems to know what I am talking about.

You mean like the little monkey things?

I think Monchichis are cute!

Yes! Used to describe a small forehead made even smaller by a low hairline. Both my friend and I have small foreheads and there doesn't seem to be any getting around it. I part my hair to the side and the bangs I have been growing out since 2005 are finally long enough to stay behind my ear giving me a monchichi. Pulling my hair back offers some relief.

After looking at Rita Hayworth's once incredible monchichi forehead and reading how electrolysis was used to raise her hairline, I decided to try that out. I didn't use electrolysis though, I just waxed it off and spent eight months dealing with the embarrassing and disastrous results.

I am getting a cut at 12:30 and I don't know what to ask for! Should I keep the long boring easy look or go for something daring? Decisions!

Daring. Interesting is more important than pretty. :)

What's wrong with Rita Hayworth's forehead in that picture?!

tza you should keep it long and easy, but i am always going to say that because i can't have long hair.

(i agree that interesting > pretty but there are lots of ways to be interesting)

There are lots of ways to be pretty, too, of course--and T certainly will be pretty whatever she does to her hair. I'm about to go even shorter, though, because on the 90-degree and 100% humidity days, it cannot touch me or my face at all.

Yeah, my concern is that in summer I MUST be able to have ponytails and I end up washing it more often bc of outdoor exercise, pools, etc. but my look definitely needs an update so I feel stuck! I like the word "interesting" - maybe I will use this with stylist and see what she says!

Laurel, I feel you. The length of your hair at your last cut, while gorgeous, is probably my least favorite hair length for myself because 1) it's not long enough to pull back; 2) it's too long to be short enough to not get in my way; and 3) I end up washing it too much because there's not as much room for error. Basically I can handle short or long but anything in between makes me antsy.

tehresa, how about the same length but a different shape? Or some layers? (haha I typed "lawyers" - do NOT put lawyers in your hair.) If you don't have bangs, you could get bangs.

This is my problem with my hair to a T. It's why I cut it all off a couple summers ago. I'm not willing to go that route again but not sure what else to do. I HATE YOU HOT WEATHER.

This is my goal for next cut, actually:

oh that's going to look awesome

god i need to leave this town so i can get a decent haircut

yeah that'll be cute. you have good hair and can do whatever you want with it!

I've had very similar cuts before. I'm a fan! I think that'll look great.

highly recommend AGAINST bangs for summer. I am thinking bangs will be in my future, but not until fall weather!

Laurel that haircut is awesome.

Yeah bangs stuck to a sweaty forehead are nagl

Yay the stylist was not terrible! Ended up bringing layers up a little for volume, but she also showed me how to make a nice wave with a curling iron in like 5 min. Hope I can recreate it!

Is it normal to get grey roots with semi-permanent hair color? It's been two or three weeks since the last coloring, and I have 3/4 inch long roots (3/4 inch on each side). I thought that you weren't supposed to get roots with semi-permanent color? Or is it that my hair just grows unnaturally fast?

i think it just washes out faster from the roots - the same thing happens to me

And it doesn't hold add well on greys

Going orange today! Or, as orange as I can get from this red without bleaching. Nervous!

Woah!!! Really? Neat. You'll have to post pics.

Hahaha, twist my arm.. ;) I hope it turns out alright. I haven't changed more than a tone or two since ~2008

I love orange. Excited to see it.

My hair is short enough now so that it's not on my neck at all which is awesome. I just couldn't deal.

Wooo! I am hating the hair on my neck. But I just go for updos because I can't believe I've managed to get my hair as long as I have. Trying to stay strong and not cut it all off, but I am going to have her cut/layer it today too.

I am interested in seeing the orange as well.

I'm wondering if long hair is worth it since it's hot and I'm basically sporting the Trendy in 3012 High Bun 24-7 (for real - I sleep with my hair in a bun; otherwise it's too hot) and what's the point, really.

hahaha 2012. I am not from the future (as far as you know).

<i>High Bun 24-7 (for real - I sleep with my hair in a bun; otherwise it's too hot)</i>

me too. <3 my spin pins so much u guys.

I never could keep them in my hair, but I've posted about that before.

xp Ha I was trying to remember what Charlize Theron's hair was like in prometheus :-)
I have a Big Event coming up soon and need to find a good hairdresser but NO TIME.

I am absolutely useless at buns. Mine end up the size of a mini donut.

So do mine, but it's because my hair is so thin.

Yup, mine too. Ponytails and buns look so pathetic on me that I only put my hair up if I am pinning it in a lazy retroish updo. Which works for me, so no big loss.. but it'd be nice to have other options.

There are good youtube tutorials about how to get it poofier. You can use a hair donut thing and wrap your hair around that. This one is good for shorter hair:

And I think this one will work with slightly short hair, too:

If I don't care that much what it looks like, meaning I'm not going to fuck with bobby pins or accessories, I put my hair in a high pony, then split it into two sections. I wrap each section around the hair band and then tuck the end under the bad. That makes it a little bigger, plus pieces kind of sproing off all around it to make it look poofier.

under the BAND

yeah those people both have way more hair than i do

i am trying to embrace "my hair is not thick or luxurious, deal with it" instead of pretending that it is ever going to look better
this is just the way it is

I had to put my hair up for work for 10 years, and I'd love it if I never had to do so ever again. But it's so hot here, and my air conditioner doesn't work well. (I do take it down whenever I leave the house.)

I've talked about this before, but my hair is so thin that brushes scrape my scalp painfully whenever I use them.

I keep meaning to try the tube sock trick, but I am with LL - just not enough hair (and what I have is thin.) When I make a fake ponytail the diameter is maybe an inch and a half tops. Really I should stick to funky short hair styles but I am stubborn!

The woman with the bleach blond hair doesn't have much hair. It's just textured from all the bleaching so she can make it do things. I think embracing the way things are is wise and definitely the way to go BUT if you ever want to fake thicker hair, I recommend 1) not washing it for a day (I wash my bangs when I do this so they don't get all greasy), 2) hairspray, and 3) back combing. Then you can bun it up poofily if that is your inclination.

Back comb it after you put it in the pony tail, I mean.

I don't have particularly thick hair at all, but it's wavy and it gets bigger when it's humid and if I don't wash it for a day or two I can make it look much bigger than it is.

I do these! #4 is a bit much for some people but my hairdresser told me to save my pulled-out hair from my brushes and make hair rats. Now I can get some serious volume in my updos!
