Thanks Gal and Twinks. I think it's a combo of stress and just me damaging my hair. landi, sorry about your bad haircut. That sucks. Is she your regular stylist?

Spygirl's Tess Updates last night reminded me I meant to post here for purposes of Tess's ongoing TVCH vs. Evil Hairdressers poll. I finally got a good haircut in the town of my primary residence. Second time in three and a half years! (the woman from the first good haircut disappeared after she cut my hair, lol) I have had a couple decent haircuts in the past three years but they have always been when I was on the road, like South Padre Island, TX, and most recently in Cyprus. When I get back home, it is back to the butcher shop. I finally asked the next door neighbor where she gets her hair cut and went there. Gay man in his 50's, he gave me a good haircut. I begged him not to retire to Maui. He promised he would not.

Hmm the first one disappeared after doing your hair Zuzu? Better keep close tabs on this one. I'm just sayin. Seriously though, glad it worked out for you.

That happened to someone at the hairboard. All of a sudden, her hair is breaking terribly and her hairdresser has mysteriously left to work somewhere else, without leaving a phone number. I'm considering getting a nice haircut because my ends are a bloody mess. I got my hair bleached last week, and although it looks pretty, that doesn't help the problem.

Fluff, we wouldn't want to have to change your name to fuzz! My hair got cut today, but not at the salon. I did it myself and it's looking pretty good!

I have a question for any and all here. I'm really interested in letting my grey hair grow out. I've had it dyed for several years, is there a color stripper that works or do I have to have roots until it's long enough to cut off?

A color stripper would take all of the color out of your hair. Unless the stylist can rinse it out when it gets to the natural color but I really don't know if that will work or not. You're probably better off letting it grow out naturally.

Secret, I have gray hair and only once in my life have I let it go natural. You have to wait until all of it grows off. By the time it got half way there, I decided it was way to much gray and had it colored again. But the only way to get it off is to let it grow out naturally. Just try keeping it cut really short and it doesn't take that long, about 3 months or so.

Secret, maybe you could cover the roots with a temporary hair color that washes out (ammonia free) over time. At least your roots wouldn't be as noticeable.

You could also have gray highlights put in.

I finally have a picture that shows what my hair looks like since I got it cut again last month. This view doesn't show the back, but you can see what the front looks like at least. EDITED: Let me try another one - that one had a color problem...

I edited out the other one because I accidentally screwed up the color on it somehow. Thanks, Mocha - it is more layered now.

Hey guys! I ended up having to chop off about 2-3 inches of my hair (by myself, what a feat!) due to breakage. Eh well. Spy, your hair looks pwetty!

I liked the idea of the temporary dye to make the roots less noticeable. I pretty much knew that about the color stripper, but I was hoping I was wrong, LOL! 4 or 5 years ago I shaved my head so I could see how grey I really was. I was quite grey, and my kids complained that I looked too old. I'm sorry I let them influence me, because now my hair is below my shoulders and it'll be a drastic change to cut it short again. My family is still trying to convince me to keep it colored but it seems like I have to get it done every 3 weeks or so now, (does hair grow faster when we get older?).

Spy, love your cut and color. You're such a cutie! Fluff, you need to teach us how to do those home haircuts! I draw the line at cutting my bangs. Good luck, Secret. Let me know how well the temporary color covers the gray.

spy, your hair is very pretty. i thought i would stop by here and tell you guys that i now have BROWN hair! it's ok though, it looks natural because my eyes are brown. it's definitely drastic, though. kind of worried about what my mom's reaction will be. lol the dye i bought said "dark natural blonde". when the dye was in my hair it looked NATURAL BLACK. lol. it will probably wash out some. good luck with your coloring secret. coloring can be kind of scary.

Wow Jbean, it said blonde and your hair is brown? Have you used this brand before? Maybe next time do a strand test first, lol. Glad you like it though. Pic?

mochi, yes, i've used the brand before. i used just one shade lighter (med. natural blonde) and really like it. i just get sick of roots, so i thought i would try a little bit darker. i had very blonde (almost platinum streaks to my hair, and very dark (black when they were dyed, so it holds it) streaks. i am sure it is darker because the platinum just grabs the dark so much. it is definitely different. my mom said "your hair is dark". lol no digital camera or scanner, damn it. oh just in case you're wonderin', i got the stuff at sally beauty supply and it's called complements (i think clairol)

Ahh ok and I think you're right about the platinum taking to the dark color, it just absorbed it. p.s. regular camera and get the film developed on a disk.
