i love style needs to get their hair did

That looks very cool, and it would be great to see you! I'm heading to TO next week to try to find somewhere to live (please let me know if you know anyone who's looking for a share in TO...) and am fapping with FFM on Thursday night.

need to get my hair did; recommend a professional style for a schoolmarm itt please!

my hair is a touch above shoulder-length rn btw; my instinct is angled bob.

Well, you know I'm a fan.

I say go for it. It's cute but polished imo.

I'm getting mine cut on Thurs. Can't wait.

Angled bob yes!

yay! okay then. i need a haircut in the worst way; my kids will think i'm a bedraggled rat if i don't take care of this before i meet them!!!

Can you add me on FB or something so I can see? Do you ever wdyll? I hate not knowing what people look like. :( and I loove bobs so it's like, double torture!

haha i can add you on facebook but i can't promise you a prompt update on the new 'do. all of my facebook pictures are old! but, like, seven years from now, you can find out what this haircut from fall of 2012 looked like, sure!

Hahaha. Well, you look like you'd be wonderfully suited to a bob anyway. I look forward to 2019! ;)

:D maybe i can take a subpar webcam picture just for you! this is good: accountability. i always say i'm going to get a haircut and then six months go by.

There ya go! I'm available for shavings. Well, shamings but the autocorrect was too funny to let pass.

I have been growing my own hair but it's gotten so long that I can't do much with it (shoulder blades.. longest ever for me) and I am generally unhappy but conflicted as to whether I really should just cut it all off. To top it off, my hair dresser is moving in one year and I don't want to pay mega $$$ at a real salon so I am probably going to phase the red back into something DIY. Blah. So I will just do nothing for six months to avoid any decisions, haha. On second thought perhaps I'm not the one to hold another accountable. ;)

i promised i'd post my new haircut.

Cute!

yeah, i love it, jody! your hair is amazing, btw. i wish my hair were that thick.

aw, thanks. the thick hair is from my mom's side of the family.

oooh, that's really nice! I like your top too!

I was inspired by this thread and booked an appointment for tomorrow. Told hairdresser 'orange orange' with lightening. I hope it turns out! Last time I also asked for orange and she just put an orange tint on top of my red.. I need some of the red stripped away first.

Got hairs cut today. I like it, I think. Maybe she cut it a bit too short and it hits at a weird length. Idk. I think my face looks strange even though I like the actual cut. I am sick and probably just grumpy.

ok I hate that picture but there - there is the haircut

That's pretty! Classic E. your face does look a little funny - but self portraits do that sometimes!

hella cute cut.

Thanks guys. Jbr I really like yours too. :)

GORGEROUS, full stop.

ummm GORGEOUS is what I meant, but GORGEROUS is even better.

Looks kind of like gougere, which are fucking amazing puffs of cheesy deliciousness and I love them like I love your hair cut!

lol. Thanks, lady! I am liking it today esp after washing an drying it myself. I just didn't like that partic pic.

Also realized I never posted about loving Laurel's new do, which I do.

i got the angled bob and it is a technically correct cut in every way but i think it might be a little shorter than i was prepared for? i mean, that's good, because it will grow out a little before school starts. i basically have been staring at it for the past hour, though. sometimes i wonder whether i might be the most narcissistic person in history.

at some point every haircut became an existential crisis for me--maybe i should work on that.

Pics or you didn't happen.

omg but she put all this MOUSSE in it i just don't know if the internet is ready

i need a drink

haha I'm sure it's awesome. Every haircut is an existential crisis for me too. It's OK. I put too much mousse in mine this morning and wile I love mousse a lot, too much is not a good thing.

I'm going to go buy beer around the corner and by the time I get back you better have at least located a bottle of wine and emailed me a photo.

Maybe you'll like it better once you wash out all the mousse!

I wore my hair down for the first time in like a month today and now I'm thinking I want to get it all cut off. Haha.

I have a dilemma (well two)

1) Booked a cut/color for Saturday. But am now not in quite the same financial position I was when I made the appointment and I need to decide on one or the other.
Hair's getting a bit long, not as curly as I like it.
BUT my color has almost entirely grown out and I'm very salt and pepper...it'd look super shiny with the color.
AGH I'm torn. I don't know which to choose? cut is cheaper obv.

2) Inexpensive shampoo recommendations for fine curly hair? Help! I normally use B&B thickening, but that $$ is just not gonna fly.

I'd probably go with cut and I say this as someone who gets antsy when I have a centimeter of "phantom roots" that nobody else can see but I know are there. A good cut can make a not ideal color situation a lot more palatable.

Also if it comes to it, you can always color it yourself. I mean you could cut it yourself, but speaking personally, my home color success rate is much higher than my home cutting success rate.

good call. I am def more comfortable with home coloring than cutting.

I used to cut my own bangs for years until I saw pictures of me with these terrible jagged bangs and commented on how bad they looked and Jeff was like, "Yeah, your bangs always look fucked up like that when you cut them. You really should stop doing that."

I love it when spouses keep that information under their hats for years. It's like a great surprise of 'oh yeah that thing looks really dumb fyi, I always thought that'

i got that talk about my bangs once too

All that time I thought I was being awesome and frugal and DIY and "Who needs hair cuts more than twice a year? I cut my own bangs!" Nope. Just looked like a fool who cut her own bangs with drug store hair scissors.

an old roommate and i used to cut our own hair in college. years later, we were like man, it's way better when someone else does it for you. in the interim i had several hair stylists who were like umm, who cut your hair?

(because in a quest to save money, i would sometimes cut it myself, sometimes go to the salon)

God yes, my college roommates and I would cut each other's hair. We were all a bunch of long hairs so it was mostly just trimming the ends but still. I'm just grateful I'm a professional person with a salary who can afford a salon cut and color every eight weeks and has the gumption to go in for my complementary bang trim in between.

My housemate just used to tip her head upside down over the bathtub and go at it. I never could cut my own hair for fear of snipping off an ear or soemthing

i am so often tempted to chop off my ponytail, even though it's just a nascent ponytail that i'm trying to grow out into a full ponytail

i hate to think what my hair would have suffered at my own hand if during my impoverished years one of my best friends hadn't been a great hair stylist

she did show me how to cut my own bangs properly but i tried it a couple of times and just, no...

oh. i did cut my hair once. in 1988 I took kitchen scissors and cut 3 fake 'razor stripes' into the side of my short haircut.

everyone in the whole world lol'd at me including my mum.

screw them all, I thought I looked badass.

Haaaaaaaaaaa I shaved a ~ 2 inch patch over my ear once, kind of like this - http://www.z103.fm/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/rihanna-black-hair1.jpg - but 1000x more timid because I was a 13 year old living in a trailer in rural Delaware and not Rihanna and my mom was definitely not amused. I also think of the time I put a bunch of blue mascara in my hair to go see Mr. Mister at the Delaware State Fair and thought I looked TOTALLY BADASS. (spoiler: I looked like an idiot.)
