Hi Strawberryfine,

Just dropping a note to say Happy post-Holidays I hijacked a stray computer just as you suggested... and have a lot of catching up to do. As for the three ghosts... I think I shall borrow your idea and tuck it in the Lair. Hope you had a warm holiday and sending you good dream vibes.

Hugs

Hi Red,
Too much oil is just too much of a good thing, don't you think?

I find I have to put less than a drop on the palm of my hand, rub my hands together vigorously and then rub my hands mostly on the ends only or I get too much.

I got complimented four times today on my hair looking good put up!  It was all from one person, but I'll take it!

I guess that's my first RL hair compliment since I started growing out.  Cool.

I only have it up with a fake-suede scrunchie in a loose, high ponytail at the crown with a LOT of wispies down in the back and a few on the sides.  The scrunchie is one of the few that will not slide out of my hair because of its texture.  It's a gold caramel color and I'm wearing my new glasses today and they are wire rimmed and kind of bronze colored; I got complimented on them, too.

Makes me glad I didn't cut it while I was going through that wannacut phase.

The snow melted today but we had a lovely snow for several days; it was beautiful.

That's great you got a compliment! Your style sounds
pretty!  That's something I should try, for those of us
whose hair isn't quite as long.  I'm always glad I haven't
cut mine through my wanna cut stages, either.

Well, I got about 1" trimmed off.  I was only bargaining for 1/8", so I'm not cutting again until it is long enough to pull around to the front and I can cut it myself.  I will do S&D's in the meantime, though.

But that is 1" less of bleached hair to contend with.  The cut itself is atrocious, so I'm going to pretend it is fairytale ends until it is long enough to do something else.

My hair was handled a little too roughly for my liking, and this is someone I know who is a stylist.  I took his plastic comb away from him in the middle of the haircut because I could hear hair snapping.  I made him finish with one of my combs, much smoother.

Oh, I wasn't going to think about that!

Well, one of the few times I'm at a loss for words.  I wonder what's up with that?

Don't be depressed Strawberryfine!  My hair changes a  lot too.  You hair looks great in your Avatar!
I'm sorry you got more cut off than you wanted.  Here's
a ((hug)) but 1" isn't too much and you'll have it grown back in no time. Also, like you said, less bleached hair
to contend with.  I'll confess, I have a trim appointment for next week.  I am so frustrated with my ends, they're so straggly looking.  My hair looks good from the earlobes up.  I think my bleached ends have reached critical mass.  I have thought about just cutting it all back and starting over again with healthy hair.  But then
I would lose a years growth.  I know my hair would look better.  But I'm seriously thinking about getting 1" cut off
my ends.  I think, one inch, that's only two months, and
it will look.  so much thicker and healthier.  No more bleach for me! At least I hope not.  You'll have that length back in no time.  And  healthier!!

 

Thanks, Babyfine,
You really made me feel better.
I've got a sinus infection and I think not feeling well is making everything seem like a bigger deal than it really is.
