I've never heard of this stuff before now and certainly haven't seen it in any stores... but of course now I'm going to be on the hunt for it, probably my next trip to the US.
I see BZAH10 has put up a new shoulder/arm avatar to taunt inspire and motivate me. Lol. I'm glad she posts so often in this thread so I get to see my Dream Shoulder regularly.
Hahaha! Thanks for noticing! I only posted a new picture because I was really white and pale in my other picture. Been outside recently and have a bit of color, so I thought I'd update it.
I've been toying with the idea of posting my own shoulder pic just for laughs (which will be totally meaningless to anyone outside of this thread) but it would definitely out-pale your old one as we're on our fifth month of winter here... snowing outside as I type.
I get confused when people change their avatar lol. Someone had your llama pic in a Facebook group I'm in, and I was like "you can't use that picture! That's @ythannah! ".
In other news, we're supposed to get a bit of snow tomorrow too.
Lol! That's what I get for putting up a pic poached from the net.
And if I'm not mistaken, somebody recently changed her avatar from a masked purple-haired girl to a very pretty brunette...
Thanks... The picture is actually a year and a half old, but I haven't changed much lol
I do wish I actually had purple hair though
Pretty easy to achieve, particularly now that the "unnatural" hair colours seem to be trendy again. You can probably get either permanent or wash-out dye.
Not sure how well they cover darker hair though. Might be necessary to do a colour strip first, and I think that's kinda hard on your hair.
I just want a skinny little teal streak.
My hair is fine and dry. It's also falling out like crazy. It doesn't hold colour at all, it will fade to a straw colour within a couple weeks. And bleaching it would probably leave me bald.
Unfortunately, it's not "just hair" to everyone and it might not grow back
Perhaps I should just invest in colourful wigs...
Have you had your thyroid checked? I take a prescription for it and I know when my levels are not right because my hair starts falling out.0 -
I've never dyed my hair either. I've been told that I have "virgin hair."
Not really a confession, but I just bought whey protein powder from Optimum Nutrition on a whim. It's vanilla flavored. Has anyone tried this? Is it good? I am a newbie to protein powder.0 -

I'm thinking of dying my hair black again but add some purple streaks, but it might not be appropriate for a 36yo SAHM. Mostly I'm too cheap to pay for that I think.
Confession - I'm already dreading Easter. We were supposed to stay home but we got invited by my sister in law, and with PMS here I know it's going to be hard to stick to my deficit this week to save calories for it. And I'm peeved about it because I actually had a chance to reach my goal weight this month, after being 2-3 pounds away since last May. Plus it's my birthday in 10 days and we're going to a nice restaurant and that's just too many 'cheat' days in a short amount of time, so I'm stressing out about it.
I realize I stress out too much about food but I can't help it.
I have a lot of 30something (and a few 40something) friends who put colors in. Some change it every month.0 -

What's "appropriate" for a 36yo SAHM?
I'll be 33 next month and am a SAHM... I've had my hair all different colors. And this week I plan on changing my brunette hair to "darkest blue". It's almost black... But it's not. Lol.
I've had my hair BRIGHT red before, and MAGENTA about a year ago.
I say go for an outrageous color. You only live once! Enjoy your time while you have it.
I LOVE your hair color. You are beyond gorgeous! I say, it is hair, it will always grow back if you hate it and cut it off!
Thank you! It was such a pain to keep up, so after a couple months I changed it to a dark burgandy. Then brown. My most recent was black... But it's all faded out. So I'm dying it dark blue (probably tomorrow). Never had that color. And it'll be all over color, not just chunks or pieces. Lol
Absolutely gorgeous picture! Hope you post one after you dye it blue! I'm dying to see that. I color mine myself, too. Just blonde and dark auburn. I'd be more adventurous but can't because of my job.
I'll definitely post a pic of the blue
My husband hates that I do it different colors, but it never lasts long (my hair always fades quickly).
And I am a SAHM... So my only critics are my family. Lol. And my kiddos love when I change it. They say I look like a "cool mom".
Kinda strange going to school functions though. Hahaha
Yeah, I pick up my kids every day, I just don't want everyone staring at me, lol.
I'm not (too) worried about the staring... I try and tell myself they are just jealous they aren't brave enough... Or they are in envy. Most people actually comment about how they would do it, if it wasn't for their job.
If I'm staring at someone with colourful hair, I'm envious. I wish I could have long, thick hair that I could dye on a whim.
Confession: when people complain about their hair being *too* thick, I want to simultaneously cry and hit them.
I complain about my hair being too thick. I actually thin it, otherwise it's completely unruly!0 -

Yep, that would be me.
The coolest dye job I've ever seen was on a young teen with fairly long, blunt cut poker straight blonde hair. She had just the bottom inch of her hair dyed bright pink. It looked like a paintbrush dipped in paint... really striking.
Oh that sounds really pretty.
I dyed my hair a couple months ago.. made a huge mess and swore I'd never do it again. The color was gone in a month too... hardly worth the trouble.0 -
Calgary here. It's currently 17C and gorgeous. I've just spent a couple of hours doing some belated Fall cleanup in the front yard. Confession: I feel guilty for having woken up the ladybugs. What if it snows again?! (it will)Northern -ish Alberta. It's supposed to be +16 today (about 60F), then we might get a couple centimetres of snow tomorrow. The weather changes quickly here lol0 -
I just blew off the last hour of stuff I was going to work on today to play pacman on google maps. This is one of their more evil minigames yet.0

I can't tell you how many times I've purchased a box of at home hair color and ended up throwing it away. I get all brave in the store (I'm gonna go red!) and then chicken out at home. \
ETA: there's a box of some Garnier crap in my bathroom right now, taunting me with my inability to apply a temporary hair dye.0 -

I had it checked in September, the doctor swears everything is normal. She tested extra things too in case there was a deficiency (zinc, vitamin b and a couple other things.) My hair has been falling out for a while, I'm surprised I'm not bald yet 0 -

ETA: there's a box of some Garnier crap in my bathroom right now, taunting me with my inability to apply a temporary hair dye.
I once stained my hair with hair dye, rather than actually dye my hair. Let me explain...
I had dyed my hair fire engine red with black sections, and the red had faded, so I decided it was time for a change. I bleached it in order to get the old dye out, then planned to dye it close to my natural medium ash blonde so I could let it grow out for a bit. Blonde hair dye is generally purple when it's been mixed up.
Because my hair was so porous from the red dye, then the bleaching...it turned lavender. So, I had light lavendar hair for a few months while conditioning the hell out of it so I could try again.
Thankfully, this was during college while I worked at the campus Sbarro location, so they didn't care what I looked like, as long as I showed up. I routinely had funky colored hair and super impressive eye makeup (zebra stripes, leopard spots, color fades for sporting events, etc). I actually developed a freshman following on the eye shadow for a semester, who would come in every week on the same night and buy a bunch of food.
Standing out: Good for business. (You hear that, corporations?)0 -

I don't have to thin it as much anymore (guess that comes with age. Sigh).0 -

I get confused when people change their avatar lol. Someone had your llama pic in a Facebook group I'm in, and I was like "you can't use that picture! That's @ythannah! ".
In other news, we're supposed to get a bit of snow tomorrow too.
Lol! That's what I get for putting up a pic poached from the net.
And if I'm not mistaken, somebody recently changed her avatar from a masked purple-haired girl to a very pretty brunette...
Thanks... The picture is actually a year and a half old, but I haven't changed much lol
I do wish I actually had purple hair though
I'm thinking of dying my hair black again but add some purple streaks, but it might not be appropriate for a 36yo SAHM. Mostly I'm too cheap to pay for that I think.
Confession - I'm already dreading Easter. We were supposed to stay home but we got invited by my sister in law, and with PMS here I know it's going to be hard to stick to my deficit this week to save calories for it. And I'm peeved about it because I actually had a chance to reach my goal weight this month, after being 2-3 pounds away since last May. Plus it's my birthday in 10 days and we're going to a nice restaurant and that's just too many 'cheat' days in a short amount of time, so I'm stressing out about it.
I realize I stress out too much about food but I can't help it.
What's "appropriate" for a 36yo SAHM?
I'll be 33 next month and am a SAHM... I've had my hair all different colors. And this week I plan on changing my brunette hair to "darkest blue". It's almost black... But it's not. Lol.
I've had my hair BRIGHT red before, and MAGENTA about a year ago.
I say go for an outrageous color. You only live once! Enjoy your time while you have it.
I LOVE your hair color. You are beyond gorgeous! I say, it is hair, it will always grow back if you hate it and cut it off!
Thank you! It was such a pain to keep up, so after a couple months I changed it to a dark burgandy. Then brown. My most recent was black... But it's all faded out. So I'm dying it dark blue (probably tomorrow). Never had that color. And it'll be all over color, not just chunks or pieces. Lol
Absolutely gorgeous picture! Hope you post one after you dye it blue! I'm dying to see that. I color mine myself, too. Just blonde and dark auburn. I'd be more adventurous but can't because of my job.
I'll definitely post a pic of the blue
My husband hates that I do it different colors, but it never lasts long (my hair always fades quickly).
And I am a SAHM... So my only critics are my family. Lol. And my kiddos love when I change it. They say I look like a "cool mom".
Kinda strange going to school functions though. Hahaha
Yeah, I pick up my kids every day, I just don't want everyone staring at me, lol.
I'm not (too) worried about the staring... I try and tell myself they are just jealous they aren't brave enough... Or they are in envy. Most people actually comment about how they would do it, if it wasn't for their job.
If I'm staring at someone with colourful hair, I'm envious. I wish I could have long, thick hair that I could dye on a whim.
Confession: when people complain about their hair being *too* thick, I want to simultaneously cry and hit them.
I feel you

After catching back up from the last hour or so of posts it's apparent women have taken over this thread 0

I had to have my hair thinned too as it's so thick and frizzy! It's much better now that I condition first then shampoo.
I've just put my calories to maintain this week, we're having friends over at the weekend for part two of a Firefly marathon which includes dominos, alcohol and shots so have been worrying about fitting it all in, after changing it to maintenence it's a lot less scary to see how much I actually have without putting anything back on!
And today is the second time since reading this thread that I exercised with no underwear on and it's so much more comfortable so thank you

Pretty sure it's just jealousy from those of us who can't have fun with our hair like that!0 -

Not really a confession, but I just bought whey protein powder from Optimum Nutrition on a whim. It's vanilla flavored. Has anyone tried this? Is it good? I am a newbie to protein powder.
The ON Whey Double Dutch Chocolate is pretty good, too...if you like chocolate. I like to mix it with Fage Greek Yogurt (either 0% fat or 2% fat)--I use about 30-35g powder to about 150-175g yogurt.0 -

I once stained my hair with hair dye, rather than actually dye my hair. Let me explain...
I had dyed my hair fire engine red with black sections, and the red had faded, so I decided it was time for a change. I bleached it in order to get the old dye out, then planned to dye it close to my natural medium ash blonde so I could let it grow out for a bit.

Because my hair was so porous from the red dye, then the bleaching...it turned lavender. So, I had light lavendar hair for a few months while conditioning the hell out of it so I could try again.
Thankfully, this was during college while I worked at the campus Sbarro location, so they didn't care what I looked like, as long as I showed up. I routinely had funky colored hair and super impressive eye makeup (zebra stripes, leopard spots, color fades for sporting events, etc). I actually developed a freshman following on the eye shadow for a semester, who would come in every week on the same night and buy a bunch of food.
Standing out: Good for business. (You hear that, corporations?)
Once when I was in high school, my mom tried to help me bleach my hair. It came out more like:
I was freaked out, being a purposeful wallflower, and refused to go to school the next day. We could not afford to have it corrected in a salon. When I finally sucked it up and went in, everyone loved it, and some girls even did it on purpose. I actually left it like that until my roots started to show and I could finally dye it back a normal color.0 -

That sounds really good. I've seen some people on here swear by peanut butter marshmallow or cookies and cream. Whenever I hear"cookies and cream," my ears perk up.... but the vanilla ice cream one sounded good and was cheaper!0 -
I like to stir protein powder into my oatmeal. So tasty. I have vanilla, which is well vanilla. I like to use the Strawberry powder then put chopped strawberries on top of the oatmeal. I like the Chocolate Peanut Butter with banana on top of the oatmeal. They're all Body Fortress brand.0

Never tried conditioner first.
Have tried exercising with no underwear. Not for me. Too much sweating happens.
TMI Confession: I have used deodorant (down there) when exercise. Haha0 -

I also had the orange gradient for awhile. That was from bleaching after going full black (which was a result of a friend who "can totally do black streaks" jacking my hair up, and I just dyed it all to make my life easier).
I did terrible, horrible, no good, very bad things to my hair, and somehow it not only survived, but florished. Super healthy now - back to "virgin" hair - and I've even been able to donate it. Logic has no place here.0 -

Pretty easy to achieve, particularly now that the "unnatural" hair colours seem to be trendy again. You can probably get either permanent or wash-out dye.
Not sure how well they cover darker hair though. Might be necessary to do a colour strip first, and I think that's kinda hard on your hair.
I just want a skinny little teal streak.
My hair is fine and dry. It's also falling out like crazy. It doesn't hold colour at all, it will fade to a straw colour within a couple weeks. And bleaching it would probably leave me bald.
Unfortunately, it's not "just hair" to everyone and it might not grow back Perhaps I should just invest in colourful wigs...
Have you had your thyroid checked? I take a prescription for it and I know when my levels are not right because my hair starts falling out.
I had it checked in September, the doctor swears everything is normal. She tested extra things too in case there was a deficiency (zinc, vitamin b and a couple other things.) My hair has been falling out for a while, I'm surprised I'm not bald yet
I, too, have been cursed with fine, thin hair. It got really bad several years ago but after cleaning up my diet it has improved somewhat. My thyroid and all tests are fine, too. I think it's just genetic. The women on my mom's side of the family all have really fine, thin hair. Ironically, my nails grow like crazy! I have to cut them regularly to keep them manageable. I don't understand that at all.
Anyway, actually coloring your hair (adding either a darker shade or a gloss) will thicken it up. I also started taking Viviscal the beginning of this year and I'm FINALLY seeing some growth! Just a few suggestions.0
