i love style needs to get their hair did

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; .

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!

Hair rats from pulled out hair is v. Victorian of you.

You're from 3012, I'm from 1812.. :)

Ha!

Did a GIS to see what commercial hair rats look like and happened upon this cute page. I want a 'hair receiver'! I store mine in a little metal index card box from the 60s or 70s that I had laying around.. nowhere near as adorable!

I also found this. http://cl.jroo.me/z3/0/2/m/d/a.aaa-Best-Hair-Design-with-Rat.jpg :(

MOUSSE.

I have a lot of hair but it's very fine and stick straight and can lay very flat if I use too much conditioner or if it's very humid out. Mousse is a miracle product for thickening up hair and giving it volume. I used a bit much today and too voluminous for my liking but seriously, mousse is the best imo.

if you have a lot of hair, we do not have the same problem, sadly

Look at your cute little emoticon! She has a flower in her hair!!! AHHH!!

I should try more mousse. One day I want a true beehive!

She totally has a flower in her hair.

Do it. Then make an orange beehive. Take fotos.

I heard you can accomplish a beehive by pinning a bath poof thing as close as possible to the scalp and then wrapping the hair around! WE WILL SEE.

My grandmother had a hair receiver, and it had hair in it up until her death.

Dunno if you've seen some of the Victorian-era pictures of actual taxidermied rat and cat heads woven into hairstyles. Worn with dog collars*, toy car engines worn as pendents*, and pierced nipples with chains connecting them*, no doubt.

*All of which were fashionable in the 1890s. No, really.

Eeep! I have seen none of this.

I've seen photographs of the pierced nipples, the rat and cat heads was a drawing from a 19th century fashion magazine, and the rest come from references in print.

A student at my school – not one of mine but a friend of a former student who likes to hang out in my room – asked me today what color I dye my hair because she wants to do hers the same color. Part of me thought, aww. And part of me thought ––– people can tell I color my hair? Well, hello, why was I pretending anything there.

I'm kind of figuring that everyone knows that a 41 year old woman with no grey hair probably colors her hair, and not pretending otherwise. (And I change colors every time I dye, anyway.)
