Sia | Monday, July 21, 2003 - 02:38 pm     Fluff, I won't use "real" rubber bands, but my Mom does when she watches my daughter once in a while. I do love those scrunchies for pulling hair back at night, although they fall off her ponytail while she's sleeping. Hair accessories are fun! Saturday my daughter's hair protected most of her back from sunburn, while her shoulders did turn pink. |
Twinkie | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 06:08 am     Is there such a thing as an affordable and comfortable wig? I'm trying to let my hair grow out after cutting it all off and right now its at a stage that is driving my crazy. Letting the sides grow out is really getting to me so much that I'm seriously about to get the scissors to it again. Someone stop me! |
Squaredsc | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 06:28 am     STOP! |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 07:10 am     Twinkie, can you pull it back at all? When my hair gets in that awkward stage, I usually just wear it pulled back. Or maybe a hairband? They have really cool hairbands at Walmart. Sia, your daughter has such great hair. Neko, love your cut! |
Sia | Wednesday, July 23, 2003 - 10:52 am     Thanks, Hermione. I think she looks pretty good when she crawls out of bed compared to me! My hair looks like clown hair when I wake up, but her hair, even tousled, is curly and cute. She just hates to let me take care of it. We overslept for Kung Fu this morning, so I took her to town with her hair totally unbrushed! It was still in a ponytail from last night. Nobody at the grocery store tried to run us out, though. |
Squaredsc | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 10:48 am     yo fluff, i went to the hair store last weekend and got some perm, which is what i went there for, and picked up this new hair oil/condtioner stuff. its mayonaise and honey, smells great and makes my hair very soft and i love how it moisturizes. its by bronner bros. |
Fluff | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 12:12 pm     Ah. B&B Hair Mayonnaise and Honey. I've definitely heard of that one, but I don't see it in stores. I'll look harder next time. Did it give your hair a shine? Is it greasy? |
Squaredsc | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 12:19 pm     yes its shining, and no greasy feel, but my hair gets really dry when i touch it up so it needed the mayo and honey. |
Twinkie | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 12:25 pm     Herm, I wish it was long enough to pull back but its only about 2 inches long on the sides and lower back and about 4 inches long on top. I can comb it back on the sides and it'll stay if I spray it but I rarely ever use hair spray. I just want to cover it up completely until it grows out. LOL |
Squaredsc | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 12:53 pm     you can also gel it back twinks or use a headband or wear a hat, lol. |
Fluff | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 01:37 pm     I need to hide out in here. SBG is really starting to scare me.  |
Squaredsc | Thursday, July 24, 2003 - 01:50 pm     rofl fluff. she is very fiesty. |
Bigd | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 11:15 am     I just returned from getting the worst hair cut in the history of the world. I had to stop the girl, she just kept cutting and cutting. She didn't admit it, but she had to have been trying to correct a mistake. This is nothing near the cut we discussed. It is unbelievably short, so short I cannot go to someone else to fix it. I am not kidding - it is the worst. I look hideous. I have not stopped crying. I used to get away with not wearing any makeup cause my hair would look nice, there is not enough makeup in the world to help me now. I am at my wits end. |
Squaredsc | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 11:50 am     its going to be ok bigd. is there any way you can style it differently? how short is it? is it cut close to your scalp? can you get a curl pattern going? is it below your ears or at your ears? how fast does your hair grow? and you can always wear a hat or wig till it grows out a little. or is it long enough to slick back into a ponytail and then add some hair to it? i need details. |
Bigd | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 12:19 pm     The sides and back are VERY short, not even a 1/2 inch, the top is too long and doesn't go with the cut. I have naturally curly hair but honestly she cut off all the curl. I think I probably need to go to someone else to make the top look like it belongs, but I just don't know if I can bring myself to do it. The sides are especially bad - I can't even cover my ears. It grows really slowly too. There is no good news here. |
Squaredsc | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 12:28 pm     ok here is what i would do. hopefully you voiced your displeasure to the stylist. i would go to a different one, one that a friend goes to and who is reliable. get her to cut the top of your hair to match the sides so then it will look like it belongs and you will then have to wait it out till it grow to where you want it. |
Hippyt | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 12:41 pm     Geez,Bigd,you poor thing!How awful,you didn't tip the woman did you????? I agree with Square,you need to get the top to at least match the sides. Maybe get a nifty summer hat to wear for a while. |
Fluff | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 12:41 pm     BigD, all I can say is shoot her. I am honestly starting to think hairdressers do that stuff on purpose, no kidding. If they can't do it, they oughtta say so! Perhaps, we get SBG to beat her down. Great advice Square. |
Bigd | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 12:46 pm     Actually the girl that did this cut was recommded to me by a friend - I called her and told her how displeased I am. I also let the stylist know in no uncertain terms that she had screwed me over. It is not the cut we discussed. I was very upset and she knew it. In the end though, it is my problem, she'll sleep fine tonight. I guess I am gonna have to go to the shop I used to go to and ask them for advise. Thanks for being sympathetic. My husband has been sweet on the phone too. |
Rabbit | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 01:09 pm     So sorry Bigd, that sucks. I would suggest you take your softball bat on your next appointment. My bet is the stylist will pay closer attention to your instructions then. |
Whoami | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 01:21 pm     Oh dear BigD1! How awful. Now I'm scared. I'm going to a new stylist tomorrow. She's supposed to be an expert on curly hair. I found her through the naturallycurly.com website recommended on this thread in fact! The site has a link to recommended salons. Now I know to proceed with caution. At least I have long hair, and I won't let her just start chopping it all off! |
Squaredsc | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 01:51 pm     you didn't pay her did you bigd? |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 03:03 pm     I bet Bigd got the poodle cut!!! They poodle cut me sometimes, Bigd, and I have to run around looking like a freak for a while. There there. Hey! Is there any way you could dye parts of it black and white? so maybe it would look like you meant to do it?

Ladytex | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 04:21 pm     Funny, Juju! |
Costacat | Friday, July 25, 2003 - 04:44 pm     Ah GEEZ, Big! Boy, do I feel your pain. Once (and only once) did I go to a different stylist. One who was "highly recommended" by a very close friend of mine. At the time, my naturally curly hair was longish (mid back length, when the curls were stretched). I just wanted a trim and a bit of style, but I wanted to keep the length. This PERSON obviously didn't know how to cut curly hair. He kept saying, "oh, I love long hair" and then proceeded to cut off over 5" of my hair! When I realized it, I told him cut too much off. He said "nope, look at the floor, it's only an inch." I said, "nope, pick up a curl and UNCURL it!" Needless to say, I drove home in tears. I called the salon to complain, and basically got the "oh well, it'll grow back" nonsympathetic response. MY response? (Although I don't recommend it! <grin>) I stopped payment on my check. Funny, but they never called me about the stopped payment! <snicker> And, literally, I hibernated for a very long time. I refused to date for over a month. I truly was traumatized. So I do understand exactly how you feel. And now, if my stylist EVER leaves San Diego, I'm flying to visit her monthly. I will not let anyone else cut my curls! (They're now waistlength, too!) |
