I haven't colored my hair in over 3 months. I feel so drab.. luckily the hair color isn't too different from my natural color so you can't see the roots issue. I am having a hard time just finding the time to spread the goo and sit for a half hour. I am going to try to do it after lunch today. I need a hair pick me up.

I'm thinking of cutting my own hair. It is very long (to my hips) but not very healthy looking any more. Not just the ends. I have neglected my hair. It is broken because I wear it in a ponytail or bun all the time. It just lacks the luster it used to. I don't even think I would donate it with it being in this condition which is what I have done many times before in the past. I'm thinking of cutting it myself because I just can't afford a cut at this point.

I know what I want. I want to keep it long but I need to lose about 6 to 8 inches to get healthy hair. I also want layers to hide the fly-aways and breakage. My hair is somewhere between straight and wavy curls...mostly it is frizzy. I think layers would make it fuller which I like and maybe help it curl more than frizzy.

I found this site with hair cutting tips...
http://www.wikihow.com/Layer-Cut-Your-Own-Hair

And this one for a homemade treatment...
http://www.food.com/recipe/super-dup...ed-hair-129648

Here is a pic. Not the best but you can see the frizziness and the fly-aways...

For those of you in the know about hair...what do you think? Should I give it a try?

CarlaSixx · 07-01-2011, 10:06 PM

A good trim (you don't have to lose too much) and an at-home keratin treatment system would work out well. Keratin will restore the health to your hair and take away a LOT of the frizziness. It's the best thing I can think of for those who want to keep long hair but have a lot of it damaged.

GlassDaemon · 07-02-2011, 02:28 PM

BigCutieAnya on page 6 is seriously making me considering becoming a red head. I've always hated having brown hair and brown eyes I feel like nothing about me stands out, and I'm so MESMERIZED by the way Anya's brown eyes are framed in all that RED! I've never dyed my hair before though so I'll probably chicken out lol.

My hairs at my shoulders right now, for the last... err... 6 years I've kept it really short like pixie around my ears short, I'm working at growing it out now. It's really flipping frizzy/curly but I think I know how to take care of it now, at least better than when I was a fresh man in high school. So I'm ganna try again, I kinda of miss having long hair in some regards, the pure femininity that generally relates to it and just the mass of hair to run my fingers through and I'm sure my hunny wont' complain!

I just got my hair cut today

I got really sick of seeing the faded out green/blue colour, so I asked the stylist to chop off everything that had dye in it. Now the longest part is just under 2 inches long

I love it. It feels great. When styled, it's basically just like Wynona Ryder/Emma Watson, only it's pitch black, lol. Cuz that's my natural hair colour. Will get a pic later when I'm on a good computer for sharing images.

CarlaSixx · 07-04-2011, 08:44 PM

With ZERO styling. Right after the haircut. What my hair naturally wants to do.

From the front
From the side

And after a bit of styling. Which was really just some heat spray (which makes it smooth) and brushing.

HottiMegan · 07-04-2011, 10:59 PM

That is a totally adorable haircut!

Diana_Prince245 · 07-06-2011, 05:42 PM

New color, new cut, new chin, apparently

Crystal tried to cut her own hair from instructions she found online. Total disaster, its still not right after six months and three trips to the salon. Do you know anyone who could come over and shorten it, maybe shoulder length until you can get to a professional ? I know length makes a huge difference if it has reached a point where its hard to care for, Crystal has been keeping her hair short for a few years now since her fibromyalgia has gotten worse.

CarlaSixx · 07-06-2011, 07:57 PM

Have you tried to help her cut it?

I can't really help much, because I find hairstyling rather easy and cut my own hair fairly often, but my experience isn't that for everyone. It's possible to cut at home on your own, but I'm thinking it would take a lot of practice.

I tried when she did it, I just don't have what it takes to be a hairdresser. The instructions she found were also terrible, they seemed to be intentionally wrong.

That's very much a possibility. You could ask a hairdresser in your area for some tips or something next time she goes in. Usually they're nice enough to do so if they understand the reasons why you'd like to cut from home.

Fat Brian · 07-06-2011, 08:14 PM

Its not a super huge deal, I don't really know what possessed her to try to cut it herself, it wasn't a financial thing. Her hair is naturally curly and she used to wear it very long but due to medication and thyroid issues it had started to thin on top. She was trying to grow it out again but got frustrated with how it looked and got too impatient.

CarlaSixx · 07-06-2011, 08:17 PM

Ah, I hear ya. My mother was the same. Curly hair is definitely harder to cut because when wet and combed out, it lays differently than when dry and curly, so the style can very much come out uneven. My mother's hair is also thinning at the top from daily medication use. I got her a root booster and it helps it look a little fuller. Perhaps your wife may like to try it? It's not the top solution, but it may help a little.

Fat Brian · 07-06-2011, 08:22 PM

We've been doing a few things to help her hair. The thing that has worked the best is being on a high dose of thyroid medicine. Hers is pretty whacked due to pcos and the mega dose she gets now has improved her hair quality a good bit. We also tried womens Rogaine, it seemed to help but left her hair oily and limp.

CarlaSixx · 07-06-2011, 08:24 PM

Rogaine has a tendency to do that. She could possibly also use something that has almond oil in it. It's good for thickening hair and keeping it healthy. It's one of the main ingredient in good eyelash boosters and very good on the hair, too.

Fat Brian · 07-06-2011, 08:27 PM

I'll mention that to her, shes always looking something to make it look healthier, thanks.

kaylaisamachine · 07-09-2011, 11:05 AM

People always tell me to keep my hair natural, but it's kind of hard to want to when you go to new places and the people who don't know you stare at you like you're crazy? Like they've never seen big hair before or something?!

I must admit though, I like straightening and curling it and doing all those fancy things to it, but it's such a hassle and I am most of the time too lazy to do it. But, at the same time, I hate how wild my hair is because no matter what I do, it'll always be like that. I wish I could tame it back somehow. I get confused when I hear girls saying they want my hair because of the volume or whatever else they might say. I just say they are crazy. xP

By the way, forewarning. The pictures might be really big. I am sorry if they are. I don't know how to make them smaller if that is even possible. :/

Your hair is really fantastic in its afro-textured state -- very bold and free looking.

Heh, thank you.

I wish all people thought that when they looked at me but, then again, why should I care what other people think?

I think your natural hair is awesome and beautiful. Remember that what you think when someone stares is your perception of what is going on in their mind. They could very well think the way I do and be staring because you look great.
