I was thinking today, who doesn't like to show off their new do when they have one? Since not everyone wants to start a one-person thread, here's an all-purpose one instead. So if you have shots from before or after a salon visit, a new style or just a good hair day, post them here if you like.

Random hair comments/discussion welcome too.

BigCutieSasha · 08-22-2009, 04:33 PM

I've considered changing mine up a bit lately. If I do, I'm gonna take a before and after just for this thread.

AnotherJessica · 08-22-2009, 05:34 PM

I had rrrrreally long hair and I decided to get a couple of inches off of it to keep it healthy and she completely butchered it. Soo, I'm growing it back out. I'm scared to ever get it cut again. It's been 3 months and I'm still a little mad about it.

The upside is that it's been cooler for the summer and I use less shampoo.

Fallenangel2904 · 08-22-2009, 05:51 PM

I've been wanting to get a hair cut for a LONG time now so maybe you all can help me. I have pretty long hair (about passed my shoulders) and its pretty curly as well. I REALLY want to get a style that is flattering to curly hair, but will also look good if I decide to straighten it. Any suggestions? I've been hearing 'long layers' from a lot of people and I'm kind of unsure. Anyone have long layers? Does it take a lot bulk out (which is just what I want!) Any help and I will love you forever!

Oh and BTW when I do eventually get it cut I will post before and afters as well!

Teleute · 08-22-2009, 05:53 PM

I got my hair redone yesterday! It's not really "new", as it's basically the same thing I usually get, but I particularly like how it turned out this time.

Goofy face, and a better idea of the color:

And a side view, showing the layers and some of the peek-a-boo highlights.

Risible · 08-22-2009, 06:23 PM

I like it, Teleute. I like the way the blonde frames your face.

StarWitness · 08-22-2009, 06:28 PM

Teleute, you look so cute!

I had blonde Rogue streaks like that in high school, I've been occasionally tempted to resurrect them...

My hair is pretty wavy and I've always had longer layers up until recently and have been very happy with it. One thing I have heard from many people is to not use a razor on curly hair.

Weeze · 08-22-2009, 07:38 PM

I'm in the process of growing mine out. I haven't had hair much below my chin since I was 8...

it's insane.

rainyday · 08-22-2009, 07:52 PM

Telute, I like how just a hint of the light streaks are carried over to the back.

Cool. Please do. I'm going to hack some of mine off in a couple months, but nothing to post until then.

Teleute · 08-22-2009, 10:42 PM

Thanks ladies!

The blond in front has kind of become my signature thing... I keep that through all kinds of different styles and cuts. Fortunately the hair right there at the forehead seems to grow more slowly than the rest of it, so I don't have to touch it up all the time; if that weren't the case I'd probably have given up on it ages ago. And I'm glad you like the blond bits in the back, rainy! They're kind of my favorite bit... not nearly as striking as the front streaks, but I like having the secret blond strands that peek out through my layers.

Fallenangel, I totally forgot to respond to your post earlier, but my mom has really thick curly hair as well. She's got about jaw-length hair, slightly higher in the back than in the front, and she has some long layers which work well for her (although she's had non-layered hair about the same length - it was still cute, but it was more work to maintain). Her stylist thins her hair as part of the cut, it doesn't cost any extra and makes it SO much less bulky and difficult.

Phatchk, that is super cute! I like the rockabilly look of the first pic, but the short hair looks really cute on you. The fringe is adorable!

Tracii · 08-22-2009, 11:27 PM

The last highlights I had done I had her put some of them on the underside so depending on how I fix it I can have more or less showing.
I did have one on each side in the front to sort of have a frame if you will same with them they are underneath a little.

We can grow it out together!
I've had my hair the same way for a long time. I'm a scratchin' for a change. I'd kill for some gorgeous long hair.

ButlerGirl09 · 09-01-2009, 12:05 AM

I recently colored my hair to a nice chocolate brown with some red undertones. I love my hair when its darker. I'm also lucky to have versatile hair and I can style is both curly (natural) and then straighten it out.

archivaltype · 09-01-2009, 12:08 AM

So pretty!!

Tracii · 09-01-2009, 12:24 AM

Looks fab either way, very nice.Love the color too.
I tried curls and just didn't work for me.I'm lucky to have a lot of auburn in mine so I don't color it just highlights.

Teleute · 09-01-2009, 09:32 AM

Gorgeous, Butlergirl! I like the color, and your curls are incredible too.

Tracii, that color is gorgeous... hard to believe you only get highlights done, there's so much depth to the color. It goes beautifully with your skin!

cherylharrell · 09-02-2009, 12:18 AM

Ya'll look so nice in those dresses and hairdo's. Enjoying the pix here. Long hair is not easy to care for lol. By the time you are 48 it goes gray and get frizzy as all getout...

My braids, which I adore! I went for red and blond to help bring on summer

I like the way your hair falls - if that makes any sense! Its full but looks very light - and colour is fantastic

Tracii · 09-02-2009, 01:48 AM

Thanks Tau you have awesome hair.
Thanks Teleute I've had it blonde,brown you name it but I like the natural color the best.When the sun hits it all the red comes out
Kinda windy that day so its messed up but you get the idea
