I am now rather happy with my hair. I used to wear it short. My mom loved it. I hated it. I always loved long hair. I met my hubby when it was short. He fell in love with me and we were married. <BR/><BR/>Over the years I changed my hair color. He loves me with auburn hair. I have to admit, I do too. Eventually I let it grow long. I absolutely love it! My mom hates it! I have come to the conclusion that my mom was dictating the way that I should wear my hair. I told her that I like my hair long. She just 'Harumphed'. <BR/><BR/>These days my hair is long, auburn, and very happy! I am happy and hubby is happy. I do find when my period rolls around though my hair tends to act up and doesn't lay very well. Those are my bad mood hair days! Ah well,...<BR/><BR/>Michele L.Michele L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15827059770508809460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-27880831236111256122008-09-02T16:39:00.000-05:002008-09-02T16:39:00.000-05:00I can't imagine you with a perm.

I do color my hair because gray isn't for me either. I do the coloring myself, and sometimes I nail it right and other times it's really dark. But I don't worry because it does eventually lighten up. I am one of those lucky people in that I just wash my hair 3 days a week, usually on Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday. I can curl it on those days & just kindof brush it out some and I am good to go. I can't put a perm in my hair, did that once, & I looked like Don King - very scary!!!! Overall, I am happy with my hair.<BR/>robertsonreadsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-20399405587224498752008-09-02T10:57:00.000-05:002008-09-02T10:57:00.000-05:00I've had the same hair stylist since I was 14, so ...I've had the same hair stylist since I was 14, so she knows what I'll let her get away with on my hair. I color every couple of months and have let her try all different colors on me. I had red hair when I was in college and loved it, but now I pretty much stick to blonde with highlights(so no more perms for me either). I love her and trust her completely...except with the overall length of my hair. I love to be able to pull it back or put it up. She thinks it should be too short for either of those things.

I've tried lighter reds lately and it isn't so much of a change that its worth the time or effort. <BR/><BR/>As for my hair, there's only a few things I can do with it unless I'm willing to straighten it or do a lot of work to it every day. Either all one length to my chin, or grow it out.

Once in a while I buy a box of Just for Men and cover the gray. JFM is cheap and since it's designed for men, it's simple to use. ;-) It isn't permanent and just fades out over time with shampooing.

I've had layered hair. Until recently, I've never had it colored. Now, I get highlights to accent my already blonde hair.<BR/><BR/>I have a fear of hair color. Probably because my mother was the hair color queen all my life. And she suffered the thinning hair, the catastrophes, etc. The worst I ever had was green hair (chlorine and new perms don't mix).<BR/><BR/>So, now I have long straight hair. I consider changes, but my stylist insists I have to be careful. I can't support bangs, and my hair is too fine to do some funky cut and then hope it lays right.<BR/><BR/>I want PC's CP's hair. That woman has gorgeous hair! She can do anything with it. It holds a style, she doesn't have to wash it every single day if she doesn't want, and it looks beautiful. I had hair envy in SF.<BR/><BR/>Me do something bold to myself and then love it?

I'd always stuck to the safe choices and the only change I'd made to my hair color was to add blond highlights. Now, I'd never go back (even if my husband would let me).

And not Invisalign or even ceramic, but good old full metal braces. I wore them for 29 months and at times I got really discouraged, but when they came off on June 6, 2006, I was beyond thrilled with the results.<BR/><BR/>While I was in the beginning stages of orthodontia, I found some websites for adults with braces, and one of the bits of advice they offered was to change your hairstyle to make the braces less noticeable. For about 20 years I'd had my hair permed. When I mentioned a new style to my hairdresser, the first thing she suggested was to grow out the perm and change the cut. "And if you don't like it, we can always perm it again."<BR/><BR/>I struggled through growing out that last perm and once it was finally gone, she was able to change the style. And a few months ago I decided I wanted to tweak it a bit by growing out the layers. I think next I might let the bangs grow out a bit so I can sweep them to one side more.<BR/><BR/>And if it doesn't work out, I can go back to the old style.<BR/><BR/>Not exactly "mood hair" in the PC sense, but it's about as moody as I'll get.
