RG, You are already darling...cutting your hair won't make you any "less darling". Go for it!!

p.s. I like #1, including the color.

I did it! I gave my stylist the second picture, but she left the back a bit longer like the first... got golden highlites and it looks pretty good. And that is major coming from me... usually I hate hate hate change. I think after I play with it a bit and "funk" it up, I love it! Yay!!

Well,I finally decided to do something with the lifeless,stringy mop on my head. Got color on it now,waiting. Russet Glow,which I have used a lot in the past. After that,I'm gonna put some blondish highlights in it,then get the whole thing trimmed.
Right now,I'm typing without my glasses,lol. My nose is this close to the screen! -

Yeah,like her. I want the base more red than hers though,and not as much blonde chunkies.

I've been looking at the commercial where you use this wand or something to do your own streaks. Seems pretty easy to do but I would have to strip my hair first cause I want lighter streaks and I don't think that stuff will work on mine that easily cause it's black.

I saw someone at work who had black hair with copper colored streaks and I want something similar. May have to get that done professionally.

Mocha, Just did the wand thing with a Loreal product...ack!! Was supposed to be caramel highlights, but was orangy. Had to do some quick damage control and color over the highlights.

IMO you'd be better off going to a professional. I should have known better.

Hey girls...I went and got my hair professionally done today! Colored a honey brown and reddish/gold highlights and a cute new cut with bangs. It kinda looks like Chayse's hair but about 1" longer. I'm really pleased with the outcome. I'll have to work with it a little more to smooth out the curls but it'll be worth it.

I've got to tell you that it never ceases to amaze me how Egbob doesn't even notice the difference....I'm telling you, it's got a totally different look from this morning and he hasn't said a word. I picked up my sister this evening because we went to see a play and the first thing out of her mouth was "wow! I really like your new cut and color!!".

Try a jet black wig and then see if he notices any difference.

Yeah Jmm, go for it!! LOL!!

I actually have a wig that I use every now and then. It's one of those rainbow colored clown wigs and it works really well at keeping Egbob away from me...

Hey, Hippy - my hair's is thin also, but I have a ton of it and color tends to thicken it up alot. My beautician just showed me a new way to add body and some wild wave to it while still leaving it totally soft - when your hair's wet, add either a mousse or body building cream to it (I prefer a good body building cream because they don't have alcohol), then section it off into 5 or 6 large chunks. Crunch and twist (LOOSELY) each chuck of hair up to the scalp, then secure to the scalp with a medium size clip-comb. Make sure you DON'T get the ends of your hair in the comb - leave 4 or 5 inches free. Then just let it dry that way naturally or sit under a hair dryer if you're pressed for time (I prefer letting it dry on its own to minimize dryness or frizz from the hairdryer). The wave and body you get from the technique is phenomenal, and ever so much less expensive than going to get a body wave (which I spent many years of my life doing). I love it, and it provides a million different options in styling.

I was reading this on BlackAmericaWeb.com and thought it was interesting. Here's a snippet:

Roots of Black Hair Angst Explored
Date: Wednesday, February 04, 2004
Author: NIA NGINA MEEKS

Linda L. Jones admits wholeheartedly that wearing unprocessed hair -- no perm, no press -- in the South tends to be more difficult than other regions of the country, perhaps explaining part of the appeal of "A Nappy Hair Affair."

What started in 1998 in her Dallas home as a small gathering of women exchanging part- and twist-times with other natural hair wearers since has swelled to meetings that draw hundreds in locales across the country, and now across the globe.

Jones has delved into her outreach with such a passion that friends nicknamed her "Mosetta," a woman leading others from the land of chemical dependency.

This week, her freedom train stops in Washington, D.C. metro area, complete with workshops that she says are less about preaching and more for affirming.

Those still wedded to their Optimum or TCB need not fear.

"Some of my best supporters are ‘permies.’ You’re not going to find any hating," Jones, a full-time writer, told BlackAmericaWeb.com. She laughed. "You’re not going to feel ostracized or criticized."

If anything, Jones said, the hope is to entertain and enlighten.

This latest tour is a jumpstart for her book "Nappyisms: Affirmations for Nappy-Headed People and Wannabes!" (Manelock Press 2003)
