Yikes! Has she done your hair before or was she new? Did you tell her how disappointed you were? How is it styled?

My hair didn't turn out like Sarah's but it is cut straight across. And Texannie, you are absolutely correct ... it does look thicker. I still have a lot of layers and I don't know how to "swoop" the bangs over.
What do you think??

Well I like it, it frames your face nicely. It seems long enough to still pull back into a clip. (Always a dealbreaker for me. If can't pull it back into a clip, its too short for me.) But if you really are unhappy with it, you should let the manager know... and get their best stylist to fix it, but not before they show you a pic of what it should look like when they are done.

LOVE it!!! really frames your face nicely! to do the swoop bang, first dry the bang in the opposite direction, then take a really big round brush and bring it from underneath starting at the root down to the end. (did that make any sense? LOL) but i think having the bangs off your face is really flattering!

Looks nice. To swoop the bangs bring the hair forward first then brush to the side.

Many people here have donated their ponytails to Locks of Love, an organization that makes wigs for children who have lost their hair. Now there is a similar program for adult women: http://www.pantene.com/en_US/beautifullengths/index.jsp I just donated a third ponytail to Locks of Love, and thought it would be my last, but now I'm considering growing one for these women.

Dakota was just telling me yesterday that her best friend whacked off a 13 inch pony tail and sent it to locks of love. I don't know if ya'll can help me here or if I should post this in the dumb question thread. After debating Caleb's haircut (he was trying to choose between cutting it short or letting it grow long) I made the comment that I didn't care if he grew it out, got a mohawk, or dyed it blue so long as he got at least a trim to even it up. He finally decided he wanted his usual haircut, shaved short in the back and short spikes on top, but he hasn't forgotten the "dye it blue" part of my statement. This weekend will be the perfect time to do it since they go on spring break on Friday and though he'll still go to school next week for part day, they're not as tough on the dress code (and if they don't like it they can kick him out of intercession, lol!) Are there any hair dyes, blue preferably, that will last just a few weeks? It's got to be gone in three weeks and I'd like something that'd slowly fade away so it's gone by then. I can take him and get it cut off before they go back to school if I have to, but I'm not even sure where to find a dye that color.

War you can use some spray on color. You can find it in Target or any beauty supply store.

The stuff you'd use for like Halloween Mocha or something different? I was hoping to avoid the halloween type spray because it only lasts a couple days and I'd rather do it once and not have to mess with it til he has to go back to school.

I'd go to a salon supply store and try to find some "blue" hair dye. They are bound to have every color under the sun. When we were kids we used to dye our hair with kool aid. Just put it in the sink with water, and let your head soak. No sugar of course.

I'll tell ya, when he told me he wanted to do it, I really had no problem with it. He's 10 and starting to assert some independence about how he dresses and looks (just recently he asked me to stop buying him boxers that have cartoon characters on them..so I bought him some solid colors and plaid and he told me the plaid looked like old man drawers!) Anyways, I really got to thinking about it and realized I really wouldn't care if he dyed it, cut it into a mohawk or whatever, it's just hair, it'll grow back. So long as it's gone by the time they're back in school no big deal. When he told me he wanted to do it, Darren asked me what I was going to say if Dakota decided she wanted to dye her hair as well, my response: Over my dead body, lol! I don't know why such the drastic reaction from me, but for Caleb it's just hair...for her it's her hair! Maybe because I know we can cut it off and it'll grow back pretty quickly?

Hey Wargod, regarding the blue hair - Last summer my Kitty Sitter, a young male teenager (going on 16 yrs old AND a preacher's son) got together with his sisters and dyed (permanent type dye) his hair a dark blue, royal shimmery blue color. He had been letting it grow out some beforehand and the parents seemed accepting about that part. HOWEVER, needless to say, the blue dye didn't go over too well with his folks, with him sitting at the front of the congregation supplying much of the music for services. So, he and his two sisters tried to bleach his hair to get rid of the blue. I hadn't seen him beforehand, had given the key to his sister. So, when I went over to pay money I owed for the job, my mouth dropped at the GREEN wavy locks. Thoughtlessly I blurted out that he "looked like a Mermaid!" which is the honest truth and the youngster thought it was funny!!! (His Dad standing nearby didn't look too happy.) My friend (their church treasurer) told me later the hairdo was causing troubles at home. So, next time she went for her own appointment, she hauled the kid along where they trimmed his hair, conditioned and dyed it 'Brown'. LOL Anyways, just giving you the heads up that blue + bleach can come out 'different' than one might expect. Bisc

War, I know what you mean. I am much more cavalier with how my son wears his hair. It's funny too. My boy can dye his hair blue or wear it down to his shoulders and no one thinks too much about it, but when I let my dd have a few highlights put in her hair in 5th grade, my parenting was judged by other people!!!

LOL Bisc! Annie, I have really been thinking about this and I think it's the fact that for girls its such a drastic thing. With a boy, it can be temporary, no matter what they do to their hair, they can cut it all off and no one would blink, but if a girl were to do something like dye her hair an off the wall color, well you just have to wait for it to grow out. I wouldn't have a problem doing highlights for her though. And LOL, no matter what you do as a parent, there's always going to be someone there telling you how wrong you are! When I worked, I was told many times I was a lousy mom for not staying home with the kids, for letting a stranger (my mom!) watch them, for not being home when they got home. Blew them off cuz I'd have been a worse mom if they were starving and naked cuz I wasn't working, LOL! When I was able to quit..my first day off, I started to hear how terrible and selfish I was. I was teaching my kids archaic lessons about women staying home and making my hubby take on all the financial responsibility for our family. Blew them off because at this point it was perfectly clear no matter what I did, someone would find it horrible.
