Hair update: Growing a haystack

sept_12_hair
I haven't talked about my hair in a while. It's super long.
I had a bit of a trauma and I'm just getting over it, so now I can talk about it. I went to a new colorist and she put some dark brown streaks in my hair. I didn't cry, but I made her re-do it.

I don't know why in the world she thought it was OK to put dark streaks. Not OK.

This means it's crunchy-dry. I got these fiercest rehabilitator Kerastase, and it's recovering from the crunchies. It's kind of nice being so cotton-y though, I'm embracing my 1960's style cotton-boll hair.

I've had one haircut since I've been in Arkansas, and I got it at the Paul Mitchell Beauty School for $10. The student did a good job and I'll be back to get her to trim this hay stack.

I should have just gotten it colored at the beauty school.

  1. I always get my hair coloured by apprentices at their college. I work there (not in hairdressing though) and now I can't bare spending big $$$ on getting my hair done! They do a great job too. It pays to be mates with the teacher, you always get the best student!!

  2. I feel your pain. When I moved to Flagstaff I went to a new stylist who put wide copper stripes in my hair. Do I look like someone who would want wide copper stripes in my hair. Obviously not. This is why, when it comes to my hair, I'm a control freak. I actually take a small notebook to all my haircuts (especially if it's a new person). The notebook contains pictures of me with cuts I love and hate with detailed notes about what I love and hate. I also put in clippings of hairstyles of models and celebs that I like and dislike. A lot of the time, I just know that A, B or C haircut won't work with my type of hair, which is completely the opposite of yours. Mine is fine and thin, which truly limits any stylists free reign to do whatever. I'm glad you asserted yourself and had the brown stripes removed. Life is too short to be miserable about your hair.
