i love style needs to get their hair did

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.)

That's the orange I wanted! Mine turned out red with a slight orange tint. :*(

when i used to dye my hair bright orangey-red, strangers would stop me and ask if it was my natural colour... i always wanted to say 'are you for real??', i mean, it was CLEARLY not my natural colour, it was very UNNATURAL-looking and i was also lazy about keeping up the maintenance so i had terrible roots.

Hahaha! People are weird. I've been asked many times if my crayola red hair was for real, and I'm pretty sure a few of those times weren't in jest. :P

when i was 20 my friend and i both dyed our naturally red hair unnatural shades of red so people would think we were redheads by choice. after that i decided i liked having red hair after all so then mine perversely went brown but he still didn't like it so his stayed red.

i didn't know you used to be a redhead!?!?!

half of my family has got red hair but i didn't get freckles and this produced resentment in the ranks of the redheads when we should all have been sticking together.

My mother-in-law had naturally red hair, but she kept it dyed brown--even in the early 20th century, when most respectable women didn't dye their hair--because she was born in the North Carolina backcountry and they still considered red hair to be a sign of witchcraft.

My natural colour is a weirdly strawberry blonde, it's so yellowy it doesn't really look like it suits my natural colouring. I like getting cooler shades of highlights to dampen it down a bit.

Tonight I managed the poofy bun from the second YouTube video I posted. It was pretty easy! Also the first time I ever back combed my hair, which was scary but ultimately nbd and very effective. Anyway, if you have shoulder length hair, I think this poofy bun is within your reach.

I achieved a long-term personal goal today and put my hair in a French twist! Turns out the secret is to put it in a ponytail first, then pull the ponytail really loose and then roll it up and pin it, like so: http://whatiwore2day.blogspot.com/2008/06/lazy-girls-updo.html

I don't have any hair sticks (but you are darn tootin' I will) so I just used hairpins.

If it's not obvious, I'm having fun with long hair. I haven't even had the urge to cut it all off despite the endless stretch of 90+ degree days.

Fun! I do variations of that look a lot but secure everything and hide the ends with bobby pins. I'm a BP fanatic.

I like this girl's blog! Occasionally batshit outfits but I like the stuff she describes as casual/conservative. ;)

i totally need the sunglasses she's wearing in june 30 blogpost

Yes you do.

Maybe it's just because she's a petite, spunky redhead with her own sense of style, but she reminds me of ILX's own La Lechera. Although I think LL's style is more creative/less trend-focused.

haha! i am way more of a dirtbag than that lovely lady but i clean up alright.

Jeff and I were watching House Hunters no Saturday (yes, it is fake, still fun to judge people by their incomprehensible home requirements (why do you need three bedrooms and a yard when you live alone and have no pets?)) and there was a spunky little redhead buying a condo in Boulder, CO and about halfway through the episode I turned to Jeff and said, "It's Am@nda! She really reminds me of Amanda!" and Jeff was like yeah, duh, I figured that out thirty seconds in.

I got some F3kkai summer hair stuff & sprayed some frizz control on my hair and it smells sooo good, yay. Will comment on how it works when I try it from damp hair..

New cut, on Thurs, time for a new style. Top contenders are:

#1 http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e66/LimitedLiabilityGirl/mic_styling_short_hair.jpg

#2 http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e66/LimitedLiabilityGirl/short_hair_style_web_collection.jpg

#3 http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e66/LimitedLiabilityGirl/lisa_shepherd_hair_style_medium.jpg

But I also want to be able to do THIS:

I think you can, as long as you keep the bangs long! (& buy strong gel/spray.)
All are so cute, not sure I could choose! Middle is my least favourite because the volume isn't there.

Hm. Agree with that, I think. Favoritest is the last one.

My inspiration has actually been this lady:

i like #1 the best! and the second photo in the second set you posted

I was going to warn against cuts like that in summer because the bangs on the forehead are so hot and then they get sticky and look gross. I had a variation on this a couple summers ago and while I liked it overall it was a giant pain in the ass. If you like your hair totally off your face though and are willing to do the bangs up thing when it's really hot out you should be OK.

I totally love #2 but I may be being swayed by the colour.

It is also p p close to the whole public school boy cut I love.

I don't know, number 1 is kind of in the same family as The Kate Gosling (not that you would ever let that happen, but that's what it reminds me of). I like the third.

#3 is my fav too.

i've had my hair like this and ENBB is otm about sweat in the summer, but otherwise pretty easy to maintain and supports a fun dramatic makeup look too!
why wouldn't you just take in the picture that inspired you initially?

Because Elizabeth Valleau is a total glamazon and I think a former model(?) and there's no guarantee that what works for her would work for me. Also frankly her cut looks like it's halfway grown out from something else. I will take both and the amazing Steph will make it work!

Btw my stylist just changed salons but the new place is only going to charge us what we were already paying at her old place. Pretty good.

Ooookay. I didn't realize quite how bell_labs-y this was going to be--this is not what the picture looked like, at all!

wow i LOVE it. also you have such pretty eyes!!!

It's all the eyeliner. It's to distract you from my nose, which is woefully common.

Oh that's very cute. A little longer & scruffier will get you to the picture look!

Yeah to be fair I did have her cut it to the "right" length and then go a little shorter. I'll get to enjoy it for longer this way.

I do that too, especially my bangs!

i love it! pretty sure that mostly i love your face and whatever hairdo you have will be good, but this is a super good look
i had my hair like that for a while too but somehow it did NOT look that good

My face always looks weird, partly because that's my natural hair color and those are my natural eyebrows (actually there's probably a tiny bit of dye left in them from last time so they're a tiny bit DARKER than natural) and they're basically invisible even still! It's unbalancing and makes me look funny in photos. But it's sweet that you love my face. I have been told it's a pretty good face.

awesome! tho i would say that bc it appears that you, bell_labs and i all have v similar haircuts now!
even tho all our hairs have different textures/waves that make us special and unique individuals with similar haircuts ;)

Nngh, sorry to be a third wheel with the same haircut. I was on a quest to go shorter, SHORTER DAMN IT. Funnily enough, I barely stopped meself from asking for http://img2-2.timeinc.net/ew/dynamic/imgs/080430/robyn_l.jpg

Since I'm not an elf with a personal stylist.

SHORTER is BETTER!
haha i'm almost at the 'just shave the whole left side!' point
xps
yes!
