I know I had to use some of that tough-love on my mum when it came to growing out. But eventually she learned to love it. When all else fails, just remember that no one in the kingdom of faerie has short hair when they can help it. Anais

Thanks guys. I get so many positive comments on my hair from people who don't know me that I would never consider changing my hair color.

I had honey measure my hair last night and I am still holding steady at 15.5 inches. If I make him measure more often will that make is grow faster? LOL! I have not been following my lunar haircare calendar lately. I wrote all the pertinent dates on my desk calendar so I can get back on the schedual.

My mother's main complaint about my hair is that it does not go with my complextion. She says red hair makes my skin look too red. I was checking out the other day and the cashier said, "I love your hair color, it looks so good with your complexion! You look so healthy." If I had a phone I would have called my mother then and there!! She just rolled her eyes when I told her the story. The few red heads I have seen in San Antonio have a red complexion so I am not worried.

Today I also had a patient ask me to tell him a story about something I had done because he was just sure red heads were wild and adventurous people. I was not offended, I just thought it was cute. Besides he was drugged up from the procedure we just performed.

I read the "how to cut your own hair link" and it looks simple enough. I am going to try it, esp since I don't want a complicated style. I like blunt cut ends. My question right now is bangs or no bangs? I have only grown my bangs out once in the 80s and I feel not having them made my face look long but if I grow them out it will be more hair to play with.

OOOHHH looking at my schedual my next lunar care day is Oct 4th--for beautification. Another trip to Sally's YEAH!!!

We went to Ren Fair in Plantersville this weekend, not what it used to be or perhaps its just because I was not falling down drunk like used to be in my 20s One guy did yell at me across the crowd "God save redheads!" Very flattering Grin

But at Ren Fair red is still a popular hair color so I don't stand out as much as usual. My hubby said he used my hair to find me in the crowds, cute.

We went to visit my grandparents this weekend. My grandmother is a retired hairdresser and she hates my red hair. Just to irk her I made my hair super curly. When I walked through the door she said, "Why don't you just put a carrot on your head?" I have no clue what that ment but I asked her if she had one I could use. Later during lunch she said my hair looked really nice right out of the blue so perhaps...

Maybe it just takes some getting used to from your grandma. She probably really likes it, but probably had initial color-shock. Or, sometimes people tease you about something they actually like about you. At any rate, I'm glad she paid you a compliment - that was nice of her! Cynde

My maternal grandmother (Jommie)* likes my hair. She is a big fan of the color red--red purses, red dresses, red gogo boots Shocked

and she was wearing those when she was in her 50s. My mom thinks Jommie is eccentric but I think mom is secretly jealous because she has never been really brave with color. I think it irks her that being flamboyant skipped a generation.

My Dad has no problems with my hair. His opinion is, "You are a grown-up. You can do what you want." YEAH DAD!!

Looking back I realize what my family has said sounds pretty harsh but women in my family are known for saying off the wall things. My mother once told me I looked good in ugly clothes. Translation "You look good in those 80s styles that are so not my generation" After thirty-five years I have just learned to smile and shake my head.

We had a great time at Ren Fair. I love giving my son new experiences and this was certainly a new experience for him. We will see if he still wants to go in costume next year. Just as I got done trying to explain that you were supposed to dress as a knight, king, or queen some guy walked by us dressed as a storm trooper *smiles and shakes head*

*Jommie is my maternal grandmother's nick name. I guess I was the one who came up with it when I was little but no one really remembers now. My mother has tried to adopt it a couple of times in place of 'grandma' but no one can be Jommie but Jommie Grin

Things I am thankful for
Reply #40 - Oct 4^th, 2005 at 2:54pm

I have been really disappointed in my hair growth lately. It's growing but what I really want is to wake up tomorrow with hair down to my shoulder blades. My hair has been long but I don't think it's been that long. So anyway I decided to write what I am thankful for about my hair b/c moods like these always seem to lead me to a haircut.

1. I am thankful that I have any hair at all

2. I am thankful that my hair is big and giant and poofy unlike the other women in my family who have thin flat hair

3. I am thankful that my hair is red, it keeps my life interesting

4. I am thankful for people who compliment my hair for no reason other than they like it.

5. I am especially thankful for my son who will say out of the blue "Mommy your hair is beautiful," just to see me smile

6. I am thankful for the hourglass figure God gave me to go with my hair, well not always as thankful as I should be when the waist on my pants doesn't fit but I try

7. I am thankful that my haircolor looks so good with my two favorite colors, purple and blue

8. I am thankful for LongLocks where I can talk to other people about hair and not be considerred strange or self-centered for doing so

9. I am thankful for my ancestors (whoever they maybe) that gave me the genetics to have red hair

10. I am thankful to live in the 21st century where people are not superstitious about redheads

I have obviously been reading too much of NR's hair witchery because I got the bright idea to whip up a hair concoction this morning. Well let me say, never use powdered herbs on your hair. I rinsed and rinsed and still it was like I had dirt in my hair. My hair felt really yucky and dry so I did a deep conditioning treatment which helped a little. I may be a country girl but my hair is bonafied city. When ever I put anything edible on my hair it goes bizerk. My hair loves 'cones and long words I can't pronounce.

But on the bright side I am now at 16 inches. Yeah!! My husband is so happy I will not be bugging him to measure my hair again for atleast...oh, two weeks Roll Eyes

Lady, I like your list you wrote Wink

Might be "just" hair, we are talking about, but........nonetheless it's obvious important to us

And my favorite colors are blue and earthtones. And has been for the past 10 years or so. Before that it has been purple. Everything was purple. I remember my curtains very well: different layers of at least 5 different shades of purple. So pretty. And I had grey carpet and a grey couch. The pillows were different shades of purple again. I think, back then, I even would have colored the plants purple if I would have been able to do so Grin
