I gotta do it. I haven't done it in so long. And I really need to... I'm trying to recall the last time I got a haircut. Maybe February/March? I've got longish-hair, so it's not like it's that noticeable. I need to do something with it. I have such a hair dilemma that I'm sure some of you ladies will understand. When I was 10, I had long gorgeous luxurious hair. But that summer, I was being shipped off to 8week horse camp (while my parents started their divorce). The mom required that I whack off my hair. At the time, the "Dorthy Hamil" was 'the' cut. I cried for days afterwards. To make me feel better, the mom bought me Dorthy Hamil's special shampoo "Short n' Sassy". My hair was short but I never felt particularly sassy. So, ever since then, I have been on the pendulum between letting my hair grow out and then getting tired/frustrated about the situation and cutting it shorter. (Never as short as that god-awful Dorthy Hamil cut). Lately, it's been more about layers than length. The layers are somewhat grown out. Somewhere inbetween. I have such a love-hate relationship with my hair. I'm a Leo, who are known for their mane of hair. And I'm very much identified with my red hair. But my illness has my hair shedding - a lot. I feel like I'll be bald by xmas at this rate... Anyway...because I'm on medical leave from work, I haven't had to do much fussing with my hair. I've been keeping it twisted up on my head for the summer. Summer + my hair = SHEER FRUSTRATION It's very humid down here in Atlanta and my hair loves to kink up. Now, if it would kink in a consistent manner or a curly manner, it'd be ok. But it looks more like those "Before" pictures by John Frieda where the woman looks like you took her lollipop away. So I must apply a zillion products and straighten it. But, 5 mins later, when I walk outside, it looks like I never touched it. I really think I should take a pic every morning when I do my hair - and wear it around my neck with a sign that says "I really did do my hair this a.m., I swear!" Something about a bad hair day that just drives me nuts. Thank goodness for hats. I have quite a collection of straw hats for summer. I can hide under there. So, I'm heading off to get my hair whacked, I mean cut, this morning. Not sure what I'm going to do to it. I've also been toying with the idea of becoming a brunette for a while. Maybe I'll do that this fall... Maybe I won't have any hair left. Maybe the bald Demi Moore look will come back into vogue, but I won't hold my breath. |

My mother did the same torturous thing to me. Her brother did it and after I cried for hours he vowed never to do family hair again. He hasn't either. Too bad you didn't live closer. I have the same fights with my hair and found a wonderful man that does great. He gave me a european cut with layers and I love it. My hair is still about mid back but easier to manage and still long enough all over to put up out of the way for summer. For frizz there is stuff called Ion at the beauty supply stores. Works great. It's very humid here too. Good luck.

Maybe the trauma and embarrassment led to stress which caused our Raynauds?

I love layers...they're so much fun. I can sympathise about the humidity. Gawd...I suffered with that shit when I was in Houston. Not fun...I have naturally curly hair, what a mess! No hope for straightening it unless I want to look like the bride of Frankenstein. LOL
I bet you'd be really sexy as a brunette. Red, brown, bald, still the sexiest scuba chickie I know! ;-)

It's too short. :(
Alas, not much I can do about it now - it's not like they can glue it back on.
