HI all, I wanted to tell you my latest hair story. Recently my husband was lamenting that he needed a change. Life was too stressful and routine. Not long after I found myself sitting in my favorite hairsalon, with my favorite hairstylist, who was posing the question, "How about a change?" Well if its change he wants, change he will get I thought to myself!!! I got 6 inches of hair cut off, styled chic, and coloured from dirty blonde to vibrant red. As I came in the door that night, before I came around the corner to the bedroom, I reminded my husband that he said he wanted a change. Well it appears that it was the best change he could have gotten. He's still smiling. Come to think of it, it hasn't been too bad for me either! I have been hiding behind my long blonde highlighted hair for years. Now I feel fresh and vibrant just like the colour.

Wow Wappy, way to go! At first I thought you were going to say you took him to your hairdresser for a cut and color. LOL When my hairdresser was doing my hair on Saturday I noticed the color on the brush didn't look right, mentioned it and she said she had checked the numbers. It can be difficult to be sure until you've washed your hair a couple days later (after the 48 hour wait). I am not as sure as she was, so it looks like the evil hairdressers may be up one. <sigh>

Well put a good glob on your hair and then sit with it in and then you'll feel it.

Here's an updated pic taken this morning:
Now for the saga behind the cut!!! Saturday, I got up bright & early for the 75 minute drive to get my hair done. I normally go to my girlfriend for my cut & highlights but something's going on with her and I haven't heard from her in about a month. My roots were getting out of hand, and the dead ends were horrendous. I was in dire need of a new style, etc. I elected to have my old boss do my hair for me this time as he's cut it so many times in the past and always done a great job. He sat me down and plunked the highlighting cap on my head and proceeded to pull three quarters of my hair through the cap. He bleached it, toned it then foiled in low-lites since my hair was entirely too bleached out. Then it came time for the cut. This was the picture that I had brought with me for the cut:
When he was finished the cut & was blow drying my hair, his next client had arrived and was sitting next to us with her hair dripping wet. Then it happened... he pulled out the mirror to show me the back of my head and he'd done the unthinkable. He'd created a MULLET. I kid you not. The front & sides were short and the back was pretty much all one length and a mullet. I was running behind and he was running behind so I paid and left. I thought, nope, he didn't just do what I thought he did - I'll go home tomorrow morning and wash & style it myself and it'll be fine. I drove another two hours to my girlfriend's surprise party with two pigtails sticking out the back and had a good time. Yesterday morning, I got home and had a long hot bath & washed my hair. Out came the hair dryer and pomade and I proceeded to style my hair, only to find out that I did indeed have a MULLET. I was in tears. I was tired, I was cranky and I was now panicking. Tim & I got into a huge row - not about my hair, about other things, but I was feeling so self-conscious about my head that it made things worse. Finally, while collapsing in the bathroom and crying my head off, I realized that a salon in the mall was actually open and ran out the door to get my hair fixed. Thank goodness! I showed the same picture to the new stylist and explained the situation. He agreed that the back was completely out of line with the rest of the cut and proceeded to snip away in fine fashion. Before he could get his blow dryer near my head, my hands flew through my hair and proclaimed it perfect. I've had this cut before - I know how it feels, and he had done it - he had to cut it shorter than the picture since he had to work with what had already been done to it. In any case, I'm now happy with the results and will never have my old boss do my hair ever again!

And I will try to remember to post one tonight. If I get my hair styled just right, do you think I will be as beautiful as Meg Ryan??? No? I didn't think so either, but it was worth a shot. Can't wait to see tomorrow's picture!

Well,if we are talking about hair in here,I just did something I've never done.I got my hair cut short.I've always has long,thin stringy hairand have always been afraid to go short thinking it would look terrible on my.I've been sick with a kidney infection for the last 6 weeks and last week I was starting to feel better and wanted to do something totally different,so I had my hairdresser cut my hair short.I think I like it but I'm not used to it yet.My girls like it though.
