Hang on to that matchbox car. Might be worth something years from now.

I don't know where else to look for Whomum.

I think that would be considered spamming.

I'm so excited! I found straightener at Wal-Mart! Its not Curl Free, which I've used for years, but it is Ogilvie which has good products and anyway I imagine they are all pretty much the same. I also got barretts, scrunchies, and the 3 inch wide cloth headbands...in 3 different colors. No more bad hair days for me! Its a shame I'm too tired tonight to do the straightening but I'll be doing it soon. I still have to wash and roll my hair for the grad party tomorrow but that doesn't take nearly as long as de-curling. Today was a long day with a real workout at PT and then dinner and shopping. Leg hurts and back hurts. I'm off to get horizontal with a bag of frozen peas on my leg for the swelling.

OK, I need some moral support to keep growing my hair for Locks of Love. I've donated two ponytails in the past, one 12" one for a wig and one 8" one for sale, but I want to go for another wig one. It will take another year to get there, but I'm at the "golly, all this hair is annoying in 90 degree/100% humidity" stage. I could cut it off and do another "for sale" ponytail, but I really want to do another wig one.

Maybe someone has some other creative ways of dealing with long, baby fine (but lots of it) hair other than piling it on top of my head with a clip.

Well Prisonerno6 - i can give you support - i'm trying to grow my hair out as well and was on the verge of chopping it off last week but fought off the urge thanks to my friends here at TVCH. That is a wonderful thing that you are doing :-) keep it up :-) <kk grabs all the scissors of the thread and hides them from Prisonerno6...>

What a wonderful thing you want to do! I hope that thinking about the receipent will help you cope better. In the mean time, I always found, wetting it, and putting it in a single braid a wonderful way to deal with long hair in the heat. Good luck

I'm a firm believer in headbands now. They hide a multitude of sins. LOL

I just washed my hair and I'm about to use a straightener I've never tried. I can't find Curl Free in stores anymore and have used it for years with great success. This is Olgilvie and it sure sounds a lot easier from the directions. I hope it works as well.

Braids and high pony tails are my customary hair style in summer. It's so dang hot you just can't wear it down without it driving you nuts! I actually never consider cutting it during the summer, but everytime I get a migraine I find myself looking for the scissors, lol.

Mission accomplished. The Ogilvie was just as much trouble but looks like the same results. Now I may or may not still have the energy to roll my hair to style it nicely. There's always tomorrow to do that. Sheesh, what I have to go through to have nice hair.

I think I am going to get my hair cut tomorrow, or rather, today since it is after midnight where I am. Right now it is just below my shoulders. I am growing out my natural color and think I want to cut all the bottle blonde out. I may go for an all one length cut. It will be pretty short if I do that, but should get most of the blonde out. I want to see what my hair will do on its own for about a year to see if I like it. My natural color now is a mousy brown, but it lightens on its own as it grows. I want to see what the sun and the pool does to it.

Anyway, if I do it, I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'll post a picture.

Why not just color it back to your natural color?

I tried that back in December, but the color leaks out pretty quickly. I think the hair gets really porous when you lighten it as much as I have so when you try to darken it, it doesn't hold. At least that is how someone explained it to me once.

I've calmed down, though. I'm not going to get it all lopped off like I planned to in the wee hours of the morning. I'm going to get a couple inches taken off, layers, and bangs. It will look like it did last summer, just less blonde.

Are you growing yours again? I think I remember reading that you were going to do that.

Ahh ok lol. Never make important hair decisions in the wee hours of the morning. Been there done that and paid for it lol.

Yes I'm trying to grow mine out right now, it's still boy short but I may get some twists or braids to help the growing process.
