I guess it kind of did the same as some of our hair, it just vanished over night.

Lol Jag.

Well since my hair is so short again I think I'm gonna play around with some color. I have this burgandy/red at home but I'm now thinking of light brownish blondish.

Glad you got this thread started again M.

I've been letting my hair grow out and as it does, it gets weighted with thick loose curls. I like a lift on my crown, so I went in and had it cut/shaped and then blended/layered. At first I didn't like the look but 2 weeks later it's really come together and I'm happy with the little haircut/trimming/shaping that I had done.

The OLD Hair thread is gone??????? Does that mean Fluff is gone forever too? Say it ain't so! She grew up and left us too, just like Neko? Waaahhhhh.

Can anyone recommend a brand of anti-frizz lotion/cream? I have long hair and while most of it stays straight or slightly wavy, the whole top layer seems to just frizz. With the light behind it it looks awful. Can anyone recommend any products, preferably not too expensive ones? Thank you :-).

I've always wanted to get hair extensions.

Kitt, I have used the John Frieda products -- they have a small pump jar of Frizz-Ease serum that I put a pea-sized drop into my hair when it's damp and then comb through(you would likely use more as my hair is quite short).

I've decided to innaugurate the new hair thread with a picture. Mom and me last week, and sad to say, its the AFTER pic. LOL. The hair is okay, its the face I'm not too thrilled with. Not happy with the weight-gain. I cropped the heck outta the pic. I'm quite rolly-polly these days :-( Mom looks nice, though. :-)

(My stylist took the pic & dh's barber is standing next to me.)

kitt, i've used john freida's frizz ease before too. you can also try a product called zero frizz...it's the same thing as the john freida's but a little less expensive, and comes in a good sized bottle. another of the same product would be from sally beauty supply store called beyond zone....i think frizz-trol? not 100% sure.

hi...here's the post i put in mocha's folder last night (sorry it's long and rambling):
anuary 16, 2006 - 10:56 pm
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mocha, the hair thread is dead i guess.
i need your help asap.
last time i posted in the "hair thread" (about a week before Thanksgiving...when i had my hair colored), i said i was very happy with my hair. well, i posted that comment about one hour after i had my hair done (and it was evening and the "expert" didn't dry my hair and it was dark...so i didn't see my hair dry or in daylight.)

i was so delighted w/my hair at first...until i saw it in the day. i paid $200 just to get my hair back to my original color (meaning before i got old and grey). however, once i saw my hair during the day...i realized she just did a base color...brown...and there is an obvious "line" from the grey to the "now" natural color...brown.

anyway...i have an appointment w/Jonathan Salon. (you remember? the reality show). i paid $200 for just base color (one process)....she called it a stain...with the salon just 2 blocks from me. jonathan salon...unbelievable, but true is almost half her price! (and I called both salons).

anyway, i called Jonathan Salon 3 weeks ago. the price (not w/Jonathan...but w/a colorist at his salon)....is so cheap. can't believe it. 65-85 for base color. then for partial highlights (just top) is about $100.!

i'm not saying the above prices are cheap....just that i used to pay those prices (in Beverly Hills, not Jonathan's salon) in the 80's. so, i was amazed that those prices still are the same.

and just 2 blocks from me....i paid $200 for just a simple base color....brown.

so, i'm going to have "someone" at Jonathan's do a base and highlights just on the top.


please post in the "hair thread" tomorrow morning if you can. i have a few questions for you.

thanks, mocha. if you can't post....no problem.

either way, i'll let you know about the results.

------------------

just so you know, i know my post above is very
confusing. but i think you will get it. i just get all nervous and excited when it comes to my hair. once i get it done...i'll be more clear about it. i hope anyway.
--------------------------

so, i'm wondering if any of you watched the reality show Blow Out? if so, you might remember the "cut" Jonathan is famous for. well, i need to get my hair trimmed. i really think that haircut looks too 80's...but i guess that look came back in style last year.

what do you think of that cut? i'm so mad at myself. i have to be at the salon at 4pm (i'm only 15 minutes from there though).

i have to get ready to go and i'm sitting here typing about "having to get ready". i conditioned my hair last night....now, it's dried naturally because i didn't blow dry it. still have to shower.

so, what do you think of that cut?

kitt, i think i have a bottle of that John Frieda anti-frizz product. i have straight hair, no frizz. but, i bought it because my hair didn't have the shine it used to have. i thought it might help for shine.

well, it was "too heavy" for my hair (obviously, i should have figured that out on my own!). i will look tomorrow to see if i still have it. if so, i'll send it to you. however, it's probably at least 2 years old! so, might not be good to use.

i'll let you know. have to go.

Ah, hair! One of my two favorite topics!

I am pretty particular about who does my hair, but once I find the right guy, I don't care what gets done or how much it costs.

I love colors and different cuts, and get something completely different every few months.

I have pretty tough hair and we just found out that we have no problem putting some other color on black. Here I had thought that black was impossible to change, but not for me!

Below is the latest adventure.
Latest colors

The best thing is that I don't have to fuss because it looks the same before and after fussing. I can't use any conditioners - they are just like crazy glue on my hair - just shampoo, mousse n bubble gum gel for me.

wow! that is awesome! i love it! i have secretly always wanted an unusual hair color (like pink or purple), but then what if it looks like crap? so the best i can do is use temp. hairspray...a couple of years ago i had it pink.

someone paid more than $50 to have their hair cut and colored? yikes! i have an excellent stylist/colorist and even with tip i have never paid her more than $50. how in the world does one afford that? my back-up stylist/colorist tours with vidal sassoon and he doesn't charge anymore than that. i am sitting here in pure shock over the prices i read above. really! i am truly shocked.

I cut and colour my own hair...

Cost?

A box of hair colour from Walmart.

I've always cut my own hair...just one of my little quirks...lol.

There's a pic in my profile...it doesn't look that scary...honest! :-)

Jbean, just go for it! Hair grows back, so if you don't like what you get, you can change it or cut it off.
The worst part about what they do to my hair is the time it takes to finish. This last adventure took just under 5 hours. For some of the colors, they need to apply lotions which adjust the ph or something of the hair, then the coloring and foiling takes about 1.5 hours, then the metallic colors are applied, then they have to be 'locked n loaded'. It is an extremely draining chain of processes, all with their own particular times.

Cnd, you need to be adventuresome; literally let your hair down and try something new. Remember, hair can be like tattoos: A good tattoo ain't cheap, and a cheap tattoo ain't good. There is no way I will traumatize you with the price I pay on my hair! It is not a pleasant number, but I LOVE the results each and every time.
The last adventure had a longer top and different placement of colors.

Rupert, I used to do my own hair as well. Your hair looks great.

When I eventually went to the stylist, all he mumbled over and over was 'mush'. I had literally killed the hair. After so many years of abuse, any attempts at applying a real color would not even stick to the hairs. It took months of applying some gook to the hair to help the color stay longer than the first washing.

I may pay alot more now, but man is my hair super healthy. We don't use any products that are as harsh as the stuff off the shelves.

Abby I don't really remember which cut Jonathan was famous for? I have a vague idea but not the details.

Thanks, cutie! :-)

Shadoe...it's easy to see you are a very creative person and your being is your canvas...you express yourself in this wonderful manner.

Big props to you...you must be a secure, outgoing young woman as the way you choose to adorn yourself is so unique and is noted wherever you go, I'm sure.

Kudos to you for being such a strong young woman! :-)
