I’ve been feeling like a multi-coloured mop these past few weeks. Why? Because I so desperately need a haircut and colour it’s not even funny anymore! I get it cut, short, every 4 weeks. I get it coloured every 6 weeks or so. Last time I was at the Salon for anything was on June 1st!!! I’m so overdue!
I feel like Polux. Do you remember or even know Polux The Dog? The main difference between Polux and me is that my hair isn’t straight, and the longer it gets the curlier it wants to be. Plus it’s often in my eyes.Why so long since my last cut/colour? Early July my hairdresser took a week off to go scuba diving. Then beginning of August she took two weeks off to go ride her motor bike, so... I was left with getting an appointment upon her return, which was yesterday!
Yesterday I was at a client all day, so I “placed” my hair, or if you will “I did everything from straight iron, to gel, to any other product that will keep it looking somewhat decent”, so when Hubby got home he asked if I had my colour redone. Nope! Far from it! Look at it under the light…
This was the second time in less than 4 days that I tell someone that I’m good at “camouflage”. Both, after they’ve seen the light, or “it, under a light” said: “Oooh… I see what you mean”… It’s bad! Janelle (on Big Brother 7) has nothing on me with her dark roots! Trust me! Multi-coloured roots are what I have, or a “reversed Janelle”, if you wish!
I’m (was) naturally dark (dark brown with natural red highlights – that was back then, before the white ones took over!). The last colour I got was a duo-tone type thing: dark base (like black!) and the top a reddish tone. I liked it. My hairdresser (who also a friend from when I was 12) is a funky one, she loves to try new things and I let her, since I enjoy that as well. It’s like trying a new colour paint on a wall; if I don’t like it I’ll get another colour. I feel the same about my hair: it will grow back and I can change the colour.
I just thought of something, just had a flash, I know what my hair looks like at the moment: Dilana’s on Rockstar: Supernova! That’s it! I’m almost as colourful as she is, except that I have lots of natural grey coming out!
Today my day is all about hair! First a good waxing, then make my way upstairs for a good cover all colour and then a much needed cut! Can’t wait to see what she’ll do!
Since I’ve been seeing her, almost 7 years now, she’s done some pretty wild things. The cuts are always short – haven’t had long hair in over 20 years. Let them grow a “little” longer at times, but nothing past my shoulders. I like my hair short and off my neck! As for colour…well… I’ve been thinking blue for a while, maybe this winter I’ll go for it. My hair colour is often season based. I know. Weird. But, I tend to go lighter in the summer or richer tones and colder in the winter… Fall is coming, so maybe copper will be it today…

I've never colored my hair. My hair is naturally a shade of auburn that I have yet to see emulated artificially. When/if my hair color changes naturally, then I'll consider it.
I get my hair cut short every eight weeks. I hate to pay that much for a haircut any more frequently, so I stick it out. It grows out quite nicely, and I always feel like I have a completely new hairdo after I get it cut.
Blue hair? Awesome! I have never done anything crazy with my hair.
3c: I started colouring after my father's passing - a tuff of white hair popped out almost overnight, and well... the rest is history!
I hate the prices too, but I feel so good when I come out of there, that I think it's worth it - especially on a day like today! I always do get a new hairdo - she doesn't do "repeats" as she says...
g_g: Yep! Really thinking about it, but that's not the way she went today! Nope! I'm caramel at the moment! Look a bit like one of those multi-coloured cat. It's very different from my last colour!
Love to change what I easily can, and hair colour is a very easy one for me!
I hate greys. They don't act like my other hair... all coarse and crazy. Bleh.
I didn't start coloring my hair until I was 30 or 31. I've only done highlights/lowlights... never all over color. I'm assuming that's not far off, though. Meh.
dcmm: Grey suck! I also started with highlights and then I completely changed it.
Today she had said that she would do a colour, and in the end she did 2, in streaks style. I don't mind it too much, rather have grey hairs than no hair!! ;-)
For many years I 'frosted' my hair. Thanks to my kids, (and genetics) my hair is naturally frosted. My grays are more like whites or blondes and with my natural color... it looks like like I frosted my hair.
mimaw: genetics do play a big role in this! I wish my hair was frosted, but despite what ny hair dresser thells me, my white hair show thru my natural colour, a little too much for my liking!
Gawd, I can't remember the last time I've been to a salon. I just cut my bangs and tips every month or so. LOL
I found an evil gray hair the other day. I might just start looking into getting some professional help! ;-)
atm: Hey Attila, I just notice that the abbreviation of your name is so "appropriate" to your post yesterday!
It all starts with one, and then they multiply! I like professionals, they are good to me, just like the chemicals they use! ;-)
