Abby, I can answer that last one.

Bailey (Miranda Bailey) is a character on Grey's Anatomy. My favorite character. as a matter of fact.

eta: i've managed to keep up up w/a few of my reality tv shows. thank goodness...i would truly feel a void in my life in some ways. (and after years of guilt about that "fact"...i'm truly happy that i can admit how certain reality tv shows fill a certain "void" in me)

Abby, I am far from knowing what is done to my hair to get these results but over time, they have told me a few things.

I don't know why but my hair is pretty tough and easily allows the colors to be changed. Cover black? No problem! We don't know why but that's how my hair is. I have lots of red pigment in my hair, but reds often don't hold well. The last time, the pink really held. The metallics blues and greens really hold well but maybe it's just the process is done well by my stylist.

How he starts is with foil, lots and lots of foil. The hair is sectioned into areas and sometimes shapes like triangles or circles. The shapes are then further divided and foiled with alternate ones being bleached for later treatment.

We have been using black as under the colors and around the face. The top is usually colored but once the foil is removed, and rinsed, the hair is dried and then treated to change the ph so that the next part of the process, they call it the lock and load, will hold to the hairs.

I think there are about 4 steps with an icy cold rinse between each before we get to the cut. I swear the tears are running down my face and my scalp is frozen each time. It is sheer torture.

The cut is done by the owner and he has used scissors and razor, but the last few have been with scissors, followed by straight razor. I can't watch because it looks like he is just blindly hacking away. He used to cut it wet but with all the colors, he is now cutting dry to best see how the colors lay, and so he can expose them well.

This last time, we started at just before 1pm and finished before 6pm. I nearly nodded off a couple times during the foiling LOL.

My stylist gets so excited and he plans what he is going to do way before I get there. My hair has never been the same or even similar twice. He is always doing something new. This last one is amazing; I adore the lavender.

shadoe, i'm back. i just re-read your reply. i'm amazed...i've never heard about the shapes..circles/ triangles. also amazed how the color can change as you state and cold rinse.

1pm-6pm! i thought it would take much longer.

i'm most impressed with the cut. looking closely, i'm amazed how your hair falls so "perfectly" in place. still can't figure out how you get such shine.

you seem to have found the perfect stylist/colorist/"artist".

LOL Juju, I was thinking the same thing! When in the heck did #1 get so old? The kids on this board keep getting older, yet we members are not aging at all! How is that physically possible?

Mocha, love the new style!

I wacked off 5 more inches today! I figure I am going to loose it anyway so why not whack it off bit by bit!

When wet it is to my bra strap, when dry it's much shorter.

I hate it, I miss my long long hair!!!

Scooter can take a pix tomorrow.

Yes, I could put it in a ponytail, but for the pix today I want it down. Then you all can give me the advice on what to do with my poodle big hair.

Mocha, you have always said layers, but the girl would not do that. With the perm she said I would have REALLY big hair! LOL

no more processing for me, I am going to let it grow straight and long again.

It's so big I cannot even french braid it! WAAA!!!
