I swear splurge and try some Kiehl's products. They have a mud wrap that you can use every other week that will repair any type of damaged locks. Their hair products are a luxurious necessity in today's polluted air.

ok, I sound like a commercial. but, I definitely have to endorse this company, their beliefs and their products.

and, Moondance's moon beams swaying in the moon light glittered with laughter from the eyes of those she helped to feel normal gives a precious pic in my mind. Moondance!

Moondance, that's really cool that you did Locks of Love. I wanted to, but they wouldn't take my hair because it was processed. I had highlights. I haven't put any color in my hair in about 8 months now and I want to see what it looks like 100% natural if I can stand it. It comes out brown, but lightens naturally as it grows and with sun exposure. I was a very blonde child, but it darkened as I got older.

When I was in high school in the 80s, my hair was SO overprocessed. It was white blonde and permed. Because it was so processed, I couldn't keep it as long as I wanted. People called me cotton head because I looked like I had a cotton ball on my head. I was such an 80s chick!

If I could figure out how to upload pictures, I would post one of my hair about 3 years ago which is very similar to how it looks now.

I think it only looks long because my head is tilted a bit forward and it's brushed weird..

Sia, you asked about your daughters hair way up there. We've talked about our kids being the same age, LOL.....I have the same problem. Kota's hair gets tangled very easy. My solution is to condition it in the tub, comb it out using the spray on detangler, and then BRAIDING it! If she decides she wants pony tails or her hair down for the day, I braid it as soon as she gets ready to lay down. Now the only tangles we get our after baths when its still wet, but it sure cut down on the yelling at my house! I used to have to chase her down in the mornings and hold her down with my legs to brush her hair, now all I have to do is take out the braids and brush it. Makes life much simpler for me!

Mine is long red hair, down to my butt. Very straight and thin....but lots of it! I let it air dry, and don't bother wasting money on curling stuff becuase it doesn't hold any type of curl at all! Like Dakota, I wear braids or pony tails alot to keep it out of my face, but I wouldn't cut it.

I recently had my hair cut shoulder length. At first, I thought to have it permed. However, it "fluffed" out nicely after the haircut and I'm leaving it this way.
It's naturally streaked with brown, blonde and silver. I've been having silver in my hair since I was a teenager.

My hair is very healthy. (I'm lucky in that sense) So I don't need any special products.

Jed thinks we should all cut it nice and short to look like his.

<waiting for hermione's pics>

jed, don't you so free now?

as a child my mother used to straighten my hair with a straightening comb. hated it, she would always burn my ears and after it was done i wouldn't be able to go outside and play that day. i used to always wear 3 pony tails, 1 in front and 2 in the back. my hair used to be long, below my shoulders. when i was about 8 or 9 she took me to the hairdressers for the 1st time to get my hair relaxed. i was terrified, i started crying when they washed my hair. i thought they were trying to drown me. but afterwards i was gorgeous.

my hair is naturally dark brown with dark reddish hi-lites. at age 10 i went to live with my dad. he tried. he was a college professor. he took me to one of his student's mother's house who did hair. i was in the 6th grade, so i was 10. she put a jheri curl in my hair. it looked cute but lasted 1 day. i still had relaxer in my hair. 2 days later when it wouldn't curl i blow dried it straight i think. anyways a few months went by and my hair started breaking off in the back-middle of my head.

mom took me back to the 1st hairdresser who said that the hair needed to be cut down to the short length. and they did. i don't think they relaxed it again so later it puffed up and i had a sort of bush. i looked a mess. i don't know if i have any pics and i hope i don't. then sometime later that year or earlier the next year, dad took me to my aunt who also did hair back in the day. she started doing my hair regularly for the next couple of years. she relaxed and conditioned it. it finally grew back but never to the length it was.

after that my best friend who lived next door's mom started doing my hair, she was a current hairdresser. i wasn't allowd to get my hair cut short, till i was 17 and graduated from high school. i got my hair cut short. i loved it but hated the growing out process.

years have gone by and i have been thru lots of styles, cuts, braids, and colors. my hair is not that think unless its touch-up time. when relaxed its thin but has a very nice sheen and a healthy look. d.h. hates when i get my hair braided but for me thats 2 months that i don't have to do anything to my hair at all and i love it.

sorry this is so lengthy, for some reason i needed to chat.

Square, it sounds like it's right for you. That's how I feel about my hair right now. The braids sound nice and easy! (when you get them)


Jed, good for you!! You must be very confident to wear your hair that short!

Neko - Is that the picture you send to online guys when they ask what you look like?

I ask because I'm guilty of doing something like that years ago.

i am a major hair fanatic, too. i had it very short (like faith hill's when hers was short) for the last 5 or so years, because i loved how easy it was...fast to blowdry, no curling iron, etc. but i got sick of it looking the same all the time, so have been growing it out for about the last year. it is similar to psycho christi's from the bachelor 2 (don't worry, i don't share her bunny-boiling tendencies!). it is naturally a dark ashy-blonde, dishwater color, but i don't like it that color, so i dye it a very light ash blonde color (courtesy l'oreal feria professional line). i put golden blonde streaks in it tonight, pulled through a cap and everything. i haven't dried it yet so i don't know how it really looks.
i, too have had just about every color of hair imaginable, except for black (it wouldn't look right with my skin tone). dark brown was the worst color for me, my favorites are light blonde with strawberry highlights, but it doesn't look right unless a professional does it.

as far as frizz tamers go, i have to use it too, because my hair is dyed such a light blonde color, i have used frizz easy by john freida, too. but i really like frizz zapper by beyond zone, you can buy it at sally beauty supply, and it is only like $4.00 for a 4.3 fl oz bottle, and it has the exact same ingredients in it as the frizz ease, which is about the same price for a bottle that is only .8 fl oz!

cool idea for a thread, fluff, i love hair talk!

Okay, that's my hair now, more or less. It is a little darker and about 2 inches longer.

Sorry I browned out my face!
