Having seen your picture though you do a great job. Perhaps if I am ever over your way you can trim it for me.

Unfortunately, my hair is uneven, but I cut it to fit or form to my face. Hubby keeps telling me to go to the salon everytime I asked him to even out the back. I don't ask him anymore, thus the uneven cut hair stays, but I'm happy with my work.tashabudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17707659728810975773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-71480002553719517242008-06-20T17:58:00.000+10:002008-06-20T17:58:00.000+10:00OMG - the stuff of nightmares.I love my long hair ...OMG - the stuff of nightmares.<BR/>I love my long hair too and I doubt I will cut it off again.<BR/>I did once too.

Yes, ...Trouble x2 - men do love long hair its true. Yes, I too look BAD with short hair. Hopefully your extra blonde bits fade somehow. Some people do not know the meaning of subtle is the problem. Enjoy your summer!!<BR/><BR/>Redchair - You are right things are a little different now. I checked out your friend's site - she truly is beautiful - you both look similar in fact. OK, I am going to keep my long hair I think.

Mine is about shoulder length. <BR/><BR/>I have an artist friend who’s my age. She’s extraordinarly beautiful in person- Audrey Hepburn like. (This is her site- http://www.zanniki.com/ )She has long hair-sometimes pulls it back in a ponytail. <BR/> Women are keeping themselves looking young physically and they want their hair to reflect a more youthful appearance. Keep it long, Lilly.<BR/><BR/>VikkiVikki Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00843590983216729306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-73947068144416238052008-06-20T00:17:00.000+10:002008-06-20T00:17:00.000+10:00My hair is long, and it stays that way.

I got my hair cut a little below the ears early on in our marriage, and the man wouldn't touch me for a month. Ha! <BR/><BR/>I'm recovering from a bad color job right now. I told the girl I wanted highlights. SUBTLE highlights just around my face. Ugh and Grrrr....she turned me into a bleach blonde bimbo. I mean white! I'm a natural blonde and I didn't think I could go much lighter, but dang! Scary that these people actually get licenses. Actually, I think she had blonde envy. It's a master plot by brunettes to turn all of us real blondes into fake ones :)TroubleX2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05509052696921493349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-7898030361977871002008-06-19T16:13:00.000+10:002008-06-19T16:13:00.000+10:00Redchair - blue is quite becoming don't you think?...Redchair - blue is quite becoming don't you think? Wait till you see me with blue hair - I will change the profile picture when you least expect it one day. Oh, that is a horrible story - your poor scalp. I hope they gave you a free pass at the salon for the next year. They could have been sued for pain and suffering. I guess we tend to think we are in capable hands and just ride it out. I think natural in everything is best - your hair from the pictures you showed on your blog does look healthy and shiny - I am starting to see the grey popping through now and I don't like that much either. The joys. What fun it all is. Do you have views on when its time to cut long hair - 30, 40 never?

I have started to wear mine in a bun because I cannot imagine ever having short hair again. Wow, I love your story about the zebra look. Reminds me when I had blonde pieces at the front of mine and dark hair at the back. Your hair is gorgeous the way it is by the way - guess you are planning what style to do for your wedding, what fun it all must be for you.

I was in the’ blond weave phase’ which needed to retouched every 6 weeks or so. My regular stylist wasn’t available and I used someone else. <BR/><BR/>When the stylist put the stuff on my hair, I could feel my scalp starting to burn. I did mention it to her and she said that was normal. Normal? Odd. - I hadn’t experienced it before. Like you, I set saying nothing,- but in pain as well as anguish. I paid her and went home with a tender scalp and unhappy with the color to boot. Over the following weeks my hair started breaking off like crazy. My regular stylist was beside herself telling me that a ‘burning scalp’ is never normal and I should have stopped-screamed- whatever. She had to cut my long hair off to chin length for me to look presentable. <BR/><BR/>I’ve let my hair go back to my natural dishwater blond. It’s healthy, thick and shiny and I think I’m going to stick with it.<BR/>VikkiVikki Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00843590983216729306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-73586086868489364792008-06-19T02:26:00.000+10:002008-06-19T02:26:00.000+10:00Hi Lilly ~ Why is it that people think long hair n...Hi Lilly ~ Why is it that people think long hair needs to be cut short? (shivers) I did try short hair when I was in high school, about 15 years old. I had a perm on the top and it was cut really short and straight on the bottom. I looked like a cotton ball!<BR/><BR/>The other hair style that I attempted lasted all of 2 hours. I went to the lady who has done my hair for years and years. I trusted her and I said, "OK, I'm ready to try some blonde highlights." I have dark brown hair naturally.<BR/><BR/>She put the blonde in with streaks and the thought that came to mind was, "I look like a Zebra!"<BR/><BR/>I didn't even show my hair to my mom or any friends or family. I went home, looked at the mirror, got back in my car and told the hairstylist, "I don't like it!" I couldn't face myself in the mirror!
