But it's just hair; it grows back!" so very true! you see it all the time, and it IS very emo. but if you can find a way to let it go, you can reap great benefits!<br /><br />happy day ladies! stephtinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-69191578192451793822011-05-23T17:19:53.123-07:002011-05-23T17:19:53.123-07:00I think keeping your haircut fresh is one of the k...I think keeping your haircut fresh is one of the keys to great style. I love messing around with mine and trying new shapes and colors, although keeping it short is an enduring element of my style. I absolutely love your shorter cut, Steph.

I dig change, consistently change my hair, and 100% in agreement that there's almost no down side: one can always grow it out again.

As a fellow curly-girl, I love what you've done with your short cut. You have great thick curls, and you can go long or short. Change is fun!<br /><br />My curls are fine and fragile, and right now they're trying to get to shoulder length. I like them though, they're a little different every day. : >Patti @ NotDeadYet Stylehttp://notdeadyetstyle.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-77583217645426880582011-05-15T09:20:07.108-07:002011-05-15T09:20:07.108-07:00oh Ravina, it can be so difficult to get a decent ...oh Ravina, it can be so difficult to get a decent haircut - especially with curly hair! you do have glorious curls, i would say any great look for you should showcase them :) OTOH, some people's chameleon approach to hair is their trademark!<br /><br />Thank you Pam - it was really fun, i need to think of the right occasion to wear it (and convince Mr. E to let me borrow his shorts! )<br /><br />Welcome Ms. M! your story is more typical than people realize, i think - for so long we are heavily influenced by other people's ideas (even tho they have no experience with our particular situation).<br /><br />RE: CUTTING YOUR OWN HAIR:<br /><br />i've been doing this around a year now. i would get a pair of hair scissors and use them for hair ONLY. Sally's Beauty has them from $17.95. get some of those butterfly clips to keep the hair you're not working with out of the way, and a fine-tooth comb you can use to part your hair.<br /><br />i found a couple of old (20-30 years) books and VHS tapes on cutting hair at the library. no up-to-the-minute tips, but the basic concepts were very helpful. i also pay a lot of attention whenever i can see a pro at work. online videos are a better source for texturizing tips, etc.<br /><br />LASTLY: it always grows back ;) good luck, stephtinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-39142892563293926472011-05-14T19:15:15.073-07:002011-05-14T19:15:15.073-07:00I like your new look; it's very modern.
I hav...I like your new look; it's very modern.<br /><br />I have lots of hair stories! My hair has been a big issue throughout my life.<br /><br />Until I was in my mid-twenties, I had very short hair because my mom was convinced that it would be too unmanageable if I let it grow. I blow-dried it straight and had it cut every 6 weeks. Lots of product and lots of maintenance.<br /><br />As an adult, I decided to let it grow very, very long. Lo and behold, I had beautiful long curls with no maintenance required! I moved to a new city where no one had ever seen me with short hair, and they all assumed that my long hair was a lifelong "signature" look. <br /><br />Nowadays (in midlife) it's shorter, but still a long look. I'm just about ready to cut it into a bob-- not super-short, but not long either. <br /><br />I'll be cutting it myself at home. I don't know what it is about salons and curly hair, but it seems I always do a better job with careless chopping than they do with careful clipping. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-10259658310364311452011-05-14T16:11:36.872-07:002011-05-14T16:11:36.872-07:00You look so pretty in the first picture!!

I've parted it in the middle, on the side, had bangs, worn it up, etc. Purple streaks, pink, blue, red, black. Basically, you name it, my hair has done it! <br />I prefer my hair at least chin length and no shorter. My curls are so fun I just don't want to hack them off again! Paying for a haircut is my least favorite thing ever. I don't trust hair salons because I've had more bad cuts than good. I guess I'm still trying to find that perfect style! =)<br /><br />P.S. Love the short hair on you, it looks great!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05157392078089134689noreply@blogger.com
