Hair update- BLONDES don't have more fun

Apparently REDHEADS have more fun.....at least in my house :-) (*insert leering grin here)

Rob loves the cut and color, said it makes me look sassy. LOL! I was so afraid he'd hate it because he likes my hair long. I showed my exhusband on the webcam last night and while he LOVED my hair long, he said I look great with it short. Of course, they both say I look nice with or without my glasses so I don't know if I should trust them. Rob didn't believe that I cut it myself, but he finally realized I had to have because I had no money to do it pro....LOL!

;-)

Both of my aunts like it lots, though not the color so much. But I LOVE having red hair! Always have, always will.

I think it's starting to grow on me. I DEFINITELY like the compliments!

LOL!

I have been coloring my hair varied shades of red since I was 15 and my natural red highlights abandoned me....I missed them so much I had to make up for it. There has been a point when my hair was about any color you can imagine- blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, pink, white, black, brown, blonde, etc. Black makes me look too pale (which was fine when I was a techy who wore black clothes and combat boots and flannel shirts all the time) but I always thought RED made my eyes stand out and accented me well. I was such a die-hard dye fan that my whole sophomore year of high school my history teacher called me Miss Skittles. He said my hair was a rainbow of fruit coloring. LOL!

Gotta say it- Red still does it for me.....and apparently for Rob too.

I know, red makes you feel....sassy, good word! I had red hair for over a year, and I absolutely loved it. Now I am natural brown again, but I really want to dye it auburn right now, just not sure if I will or not.

GASP! Never? My girlfriends and I used to dye our hair SO often! Like, almost weekly. I ended up looking like a calico cat once for trusting one friend to do it. I had to go to work with hair that was white on top, large blotches of tigger orange, burgundy blotches, blonde patches, and an area that was exactly the color of a standard number 2 pencil. LOL! My husband has even dyed some of my friends' hair for them (for which he received SO much teasing I was forbidden to ever tell anyone that again....he may kill me! LOL!)

I've never dyed my hair, either. I'm a brunette, and I guess I just felt I wouldn't look good with any other hair color. I have red highlights, so I might be able to get away with red, but I guess I'm just too chicken.

No perms for me either......my hair is FAR too naturally curly to think about adding to it's messy mass. My exhusband refers to it as a "cloud of curls" while I refer to it as a ghastly mop. LOL! I did used to iron it though....and then I started sleeping with it wound into a wet bun so when I woke up it would still be wet and it wouldn't be as curly or frizzy. The only true CURE for my curl has been letting it grow to my butt because it's thick and it pulls it mostly straight.
