Saxy, my stylist puts a product called SILK in my hair at the very end, just before she tosses me out of her chair. It smooths away the 'flyaways' and the strays.

Saxy, I actually use "Static Guard"! I just hold the can as far away as my arm will go and spray my hair while I "fluf" it with my other hand. You just want a little bit. Don't get it wet. And then I style it. Works like a wonder. I don't particularly like the smell of it, but thank goodness it doesn't stay with me. I know some gals that just spray it on a brush or comb, but I prefer my way. My hair is very fine and using a comb makes it flat.

rubbing a dryer sheet on your hair also takes some of the static out. static guard smells like glue.

Yeah, that's about right Cnd. I'm glad the smell doesn't linger.....at least I don't smell it and no one's told me I stink! LOL

I think I'd have to go with the dryer sheet first... The fumes from static guard really bug me. It's gotta be something from the aeresol or something, cuz I have to hold my breath when I spray on my deoderant and keep holding it til i'm out of the stuff that didn't hit my pits.. LOL

these pictures are not for the sensitive or faint of heart. these are the after pictures of my hair disaster taken a few minutes ago with my camera phone. it has had time to grow out and fade a bit so you can't appreciate the orange.

i'm late to the "party" to respond. but: Saxy, you look so cute, as usual. the haircut suits you. but w/that smile and face... i don't think you can go wrong. max, i'm so happy you loved your new "do". cnd, i'm thinking the photos you are posting don't show the "true disaster" of the color??? i realize the horror of your color as you posted the story. you have posted about the comments you have received. personally, i don't find the color horrible. the cut, well, there is probably a better cut for you. but i would NEVER, look at you (from the photo) and think...OMG! but i do understand that your before was better than the after. the comments you received, though, validate what you feel. not knowing the difference, in person, well....i think you look great in both photos. but that's just me. i understand how you feel though. you should LOVE how you look after getting your hair done.

well, you are right about those pictures not showing the true color. bummer. trust me, my hair is orange, kinda like a new penny copper with black roots that show. when my mom saw it this weekend for the first time she said that the color wasn't too terribly bad but that they had cut it way too short. the rest of my family just said - so, this is what they did to your hair. hate it, hate it, hate it. can't wait for it to grow out.

cnd, was this the first time you used JC PENNEY to get your hair done? eta: sorry, i did look back on the archives. but have to admit i only spent about one minute doing so...so, don't know about the JC PENNEY. i ALWAYS mix/confuse names here at tvch. sorry, about my memory.

Well I like the 2001 pic best because you are smiling my dearest Dearie. And you have a beautiful smile! I'm mostly p'od at JCPENNEY cuz they robbed you of your smile when they messed with your beautiful tresses. Now repeat after me... it will grow back. it will grow back healthier and shinier and prettier than ever! it will grow back... it will...

Well, the color doesn't look absolutely freakish in the pictures, but you sure can't do much with that cut. On the bright side, now all the helpful tvchers will troop in and suggest what is the best style for your face when it grows back out, LOL.

I'm glad you got your money back! (Cnd knows I am teasing. I don't think it looks so bad).

Cnd, I agree with others that the color isn't bad, or we just aren't getting the full affect. But red fades fast, so it'll calm down even more over time. As far as the cut goes.. I think if you play with it, use hair products to give you a piecy, messy look you can pull it off! Try flipping it up in places, tucking it behind your ears, make it kind of spiky... It might just be a sassy cute look for you! If I lived closer I'd come over and help you play with it! In the mean time, don't let it rob you of your beautiful smile! Half of the way we are percieved by others is our attitude... if you walk into a room thinking "I'm hot" others will think that too!! Keep smiling!

Ok I was expecting something much more shocking Cnd, like the color would look like Carrot Top's lol. It's not bad and I understand that it's not what you want. Go get the rinse.

mocha, it DOES look like carrot top's. i don't know why my cell phone photos go to brown. it's the same with my cat pictures. my cats are orange/ginger but they come out brown on my cell phone camera.

CND, I am not saying this only to try to make you feel better, but I like it. I honestly do like it. Maybe it's the bit of bangs, but I really like the style better than the one with darker, longer hair.

thanks, julieboo and everyone for the encouragement. even though i have now received from JCPenney a full refund and the $199.62 (in cash no less!) for missing 6 hours of work i am still in shock every time i look in the mirror.

well i went and got a cut and highlight today, and i LOVE it! the girl who done it is an old friend of mine who works in a town about 40 minutes away, i thought what the heck. i'm so glad! she did lowlights too, so it is pretty drastic looking, but i love it...the wilder, the better. ironic that you have to go to a small town to get someone to do your hair how you want it. here are pics...before and after. before was taken last friday, after was taken today a few hours ago.
 here's the top of my head, so you can see the contrast of the highlights and lowlights:
i'm calling it my "rock star" hair. LOL
