I NEVER dye my hair!! I KILL it!!!!!! LOLOL Have been killing it for so long it should have been buried years ago. I can't even remember what my "natural" (is there such a thing) color was! Great board!!

Well, I have a hair update.

I got my hair highlighted again, but with different colors this time.

I got blond (bleach) streaks and mixed it with some red. It looks very fall-ish :) I like it a lot, but will add a darker brown the next time I get it done and do three colors. It is getting too blond and it is pretty common to add in natural color highlights when you've been getting lighter highlights as long as I have.

The part I'm most excited about is that I got it cut! She wacked at least 2 inches off the bottom - much needed inches - and then added in choppy sorta layers all up the back. Then on the sides, she razored it so that there are shorter pieces framing my face. For as long as I can remember, it has been one length. I have never had long hair and layers.

I bought a curling iron (haven't had one of those in ages) a flat iron, and some great Bed Head products to protect my hair. I'm very excited!

I'll take some pictures this weekend and post them when I get them developed.

That sounds B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! Layers are so pretty, especially with a nice mix of highlights. I bet your hair looks great.

Daggonit. I still have a camera at home with undeveloped hair pics from March.

I think I'm getting a haircut next week. I lost a lot of hair this summer due to excessive tangling after shampooing, not to mention I'm transitioning back to my natural hair. So, I have different textures on my hair, and that alone means breakage. Oh well. I need a new look anyway.

OK hair experts! Anyone heard of, or used this product?

Straight To The Maxx

I just saw it for the first time on an infomercial last night. My first question would be...does it contain alcohol? Just wondered if it worked.

You know how those infomercials can be!

Hello, all. I've an appt. for trimming my hair tomorrow (only the front)...I'm really happy because my hair has grown enough so that I can now pull it back in a ponytail that brushes my neck. Immediately after cut, I was unable to pull it back at all! (Some of you may recall I got my hair "chopped off" by a "scissor-happy wench" back in Aug.)


Quote:

Infusium doesn't help me anymore. Someone help! Fluff

after having the highlights and redying it again my hair is extremely dry. i have dyed my hair for years (store bought) and it has never been this dry. once i blowdry it, i put biosilk and its okay for the day but when i wash it and its wet it's just in tangles. Meemo




For detangling my hair I use Infusium, as well as Citre Shine's Shine Miracle Anti-Frizz Polisher--not even the most expensive products will do as great a job as Shine Miracle.

For those of you who use relaxers, you might want to check Mirtha de Perales' Placenta Hairdressing. One of my aunts told my mom about this product & now I buy it for her. (I think you need to look for this product in a Latino neighborhood, as I've never seen it at K-mart or Target).

Squared, why does it hurt so much when you have your hair braided? Also, is it true that your hair grows faster when it's braided?

well it hurts because for one, i'm tenderheaded so the least little bit of pulling hurts like hell. and there is alot of pulling when you hair is braided. and it is somewhat true that your hair grows faster. or it seems too because you aren't putting undue stess on it with the constant brushing and blow drying and curling and washing. you are basically leaving hair alone to do its thing.

Squared, I too have a sensitive scalp. I prefer to blow dry my own hair rather than get it done at the salon because they pull so very hard.

I don't know how you manage to sleep with your braids, I cannot sleep with anything on my hair, not even a ribbon--I guess that's why my hair's so tangled in the mornings.

trisha, it took me about 3 days to be able to sleep on them and so far so good. i also hate sleeping on hair rollers which is why i curl my hair every morning when its not braided.

Square, you've suffered no damage from curling every morning?

Your hair looks very lovely Spy!
At first, I was just wondering why you were showing a picture of Barbie.

no fluff but over the weekend i have noticed i suffered damage from my hairdresser using too hot curling irons while my hair was short. i keep mine on the lowest possible setting.

p.s. ive been curling my hair everyday for years and this is the first time its been damaged by the heat from the salon.

Monday, September 29, 2003 - 12:55 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Wow! Consider yourself very lucky, but I do think the heat is evil theory is overhyped. Stylists tend to do the most damage of all. At least your hair is short, so growout only takes a snap.

I'm still trying to decide how to get my hair chopped on Friday. My hair looks disgusting. The right side is long and the left side is super short. Have you ever been to clickonbeauty.com to look at their style slideshows? That's where I'm trying to find a new style at.

yeah im with you there fluff, sometimes they do cause damage inadvertently. i also had an episode with a blond streak years ago, lol.

ive never been to that site but i will soon as i get home. so are you going to stick with your short side lenghth for all over or go shorter??
