Hair!!!

HAIR!!!

Our hair is important to us. For many women it’s our ‘crowning glory.’
Our hair makes a statement about who we are because we are often recognized by it.
Hair is fun! We cut it, curl it , straighten it, colour it, style it, shave it .... but we are also conditioned by society to conform.
From commercials on television , magazine ads, to the internet; we are bombarded with “how we ‘should’ look.” Many of us fall prey to hair dressers who love to cut, style, curl, colour, blow dry etc., etc., etc. Unfortunately we trust these people but all too often end up with hair we don’t like.

How do you feel about others stating :
-you are too old to have long hair?
-you should cut & colour it?

Have you ever had a bad hair experience?

How did you transition from your youthful hair to your hair now? ie: cut it? Colour it? Shave it? Grow it?

I LOVE hair and have somewhat of an obsession or hair fettish.
Here are some pictures of my cherry cola / hibiscus / hennaed hair along with some self made hair toys.

Show us pictures of your hair !!!

Re: Hair!!!

Then August 2015 I decided to stop colouring. While I loved my cherry cola colour I found I had to colour every 10 days which became too much. Plus I’d often dreamed of having silver grey hair and since the colours now in fashion , I thought , why not?

Here are some pictures of my transition.

The hair rose stick I turned on the lathe then carved.
The molly mouse hair fork is made from spalted maple off of our property which I hand carved and the hair pearl buckle I made from beads and wire. It also has an acrylic stick which was turned on a lathe. The maple leaf hairtoy is also made from spalted maple . The stick was turned on my lathe.

So far I’m liking my transition and I have no plans on cutting my hair to conform to any of societies expectations.

Come and share some hair stories and pictures.

Bratti asked, "Have you ever had a bad hair experience?"

Yes! I looked in the mirror one day, in my latter years, and realized that my hair had disappeared!!! - - -I kept glancing in th mirror every now and then but it never returned.

My husband is going through the same type of transition.
He prefers to state that he’s not losing hair but merely gaining more forehead.

Re: Hair!!!

You have beautiful hair and it is obvious from the photos that you take care of it. Don't let anyone persuade you to cut it until you are ready to do so.

The hair ornaments are really pretty - you are very talented.

Re: Hair!!!

I like my hair very short, and run the hair clippers over it once a week. I had long hair as a young child and I hated it. My hair is fine and having it brushed and combed was a nightmare. I knew if I got head lice I would probably have it cut. I rubbed my head against a girl at school who came from a poor home, and whose head was always crawling with nits. RESULT!! My parents, sisters and uncle caught them off me. My uncle was not best pleased, to put it mildly, as he was due to fly back to the UK to resume his studies at Oxford Uni. WHOOPS! My hair was cut much shorter, as was that of my sisters.

Re: Hair!!!

My little grandson asked my hubby the other day, grandpops why have you got a hole in your head ? Meaning his bald patch....so funny.

Your hair is lovely Bratti, I've never had long hair and it's a regret for me, I've tried to grow it a few times but I always give up at that in between stage. Under the blonde I'm pure white and have been for many years I keep thinking I will just go white but I chicken out

Re: Hair!!!

My hair went silver grey in my 40's and I left it like that.

I don't like dyed hair particularly if it is a dark colour ,it looks harsh. Natural colour hair has many shades it is not just one blank colour and that is something that can't really be achieved with dyed hair.

I prefer well cut shiny non dyed hair long or short depending on what suits each person.

Re: Hair!!!

Those hair pictures are lovely - they look like professional photos.

I'm satisfied with my hair - it's dark, flecked with grey (which I don't try to hide) & thick and naturally wavy. It takes minimum care - just a dry trim every 2 months and a twice weekly wash & air dry - I use the hair dryer if I'm in a hurry.

I'm so glad I don't have to spend lots of time faffing around with it. I wouldn't have the patience.

Re: Hair!!!

My hair has most of its natural colour still. I would never consider dying it when I go grey.
