Hair styles

I've only just come to like my natural hair color. I used to think it was just boring, but it does compliment my skin tone and eye color. My favorite hair colors are not seen in nature. I love vibrant dark purples, burgundies and blues. I have longer length hair (varies from mid-thigh to right below my butt length) so I don't really dye my hair because I don't want to damage it. When I had shorter hair I thought it was a lot more upkeep than now. I had to wash my hair much more frequently. I had to blow dry, style and put products onto it to get it to behave. Now I wash, condition and let it air dry.

I have "interesting" hair...it is naturally curly, but only from the crown down! People assume that I color it (until they meet my family & see it everywhere) and also assume that I straighten the top and/or curl it...nope! I wash & condition, run a little frizzease through the tips & go! My hairdresser says that my hair actually grows in its own style! It is super easy, but doesn't allow for a lot of variation. Some days I just wish for a simple, sleek ponytail but that just isn't in the cards!

i pay for a professional to add blue or red to my hair. he also does a wash so the rest of my hair matches my eyebrow colors.
i grow it out after christmas and cut it after labor day. i prefer to be able to put my hair up in summer. that and i do the renaissance fair every year and it's good to have long hair for some fun styles.

I can't stand to sit and have my hair dyed so maybe once ever few years I get bored and get highlights. I like your natural colour
long hair is so easy cause you can just pop it into a pony tail but I had mine cut to maybe like just below my chin and loved it. It's super easy I can put it back if I want to but it's just long enough that I can do basically nothing. My hair gets curly as it gets longer so this was awesome
I hate anything hair related cause it just takes too long. Sitting in a chair for an hour or more makes me feel stressed

You're just a razor away from being unencumbered.

I always dye my hair jet black.
It's thick and has a mind of its own.
My hair literally shrinks from 16 inches to as bad as one inch if water touches it. Frizz isn't the word for what I experience. I become a puff ball.

It's a bloody struggle.

Most days I hate my hair, and the cost of upkeep
It's thin and I think ruined by dying it etc
Do you like your natural hair colour?
What's your favourite hair colour?
Do you cut it short and think it's easier to manage? Iv tried to grow it long, with various degrees of success but some days it's so frizzy and dry I think about just getting the chop

I died my hair sporadically throughout my teens, either a reddish brown colour, or caramel highlights (my natural hair being a chestnut brown). I cannot stand sitting in a chair for 3+ hours while it's being done, and the gross chemical smell. About a year ago a finally returned to my natural colour, and have no desire to do anything at all to it. It suits me, it is healthier, and I am happy!

My natural hair color is black. My current hair is black with some grays popping out and light highlights to cover those gray.

I've had short hair since college, with the exception of my wedding and the current photo. Short hair was great for me since all I had to do was wash and go. I finally needed a change so am in the process of growing it out into a bob. I'm currently have highlights though you can't see it in the photo.

I don't even own a curling iron or straightening iron & from my other posts you can see I have yet to even master a ponytail, so wash & go it is! Only a drag in the winter when it occasionally freezes whilst scraping ice & snow off the car! Lol!

My hair is inconsistently curly. The top layer is not as curly--kind of loose curly that falls into wavy when it dries. The bottom layer is very curly & stays that way can get frizzy. I just wash it, scrunch it with curling mousse & let it air dry. My hair has never grown very fast & is now about to my bra strap--the longest it's ever been. I have very thin strands, but a lot of them. It's either reddish brown or brownish red which has faded over the years & I've gotten some gray along my hairline. The gray & fading of the red was unacceptable, so I started coloring it several years ago. I've tried sooo many different reds. I have been trying to match my natural color & it's really hard to find a red that doesn't have that burgundy color in it--not what I want.

I use a #10 developer (3% peroxide) & mix it with any dye (I buy mine at Sally Beauty) to make it demi-permanent. It's not as damaging. It won't lighten your hair. It is basically just putting the color over the top of your natural color, but if you are going with dark colors or your natural color is light, it could be an option for you. It also won't last as long as permanent color, but I can generally get a couple months out of a color & that's with red dye & washing every other day. But I am sticking close to my natural color too, so my roots aren't very noticeable. It's a super cheap way to do it too. I bought a big bottle of developer for around $6 & it lasts me about a year. Each box of dye costs around $5. I could never afford to go to the salon to get it done.

Some salons can run a computer color match of your hair so that dye only covers greys but doesn't change your color!
