I have never seen hair this long...EVER!

I wants bangs/fringe so badly. My hair grows down so I don't have to worry about it sticking up. I just want a little. What do you think? I now wear makeup every day. I think bangs/fringe would improve things, but my hair is already so long up front I'd be cutting off a lot of length. ...

Every few years, I get bored with my hair, and get the foolish notion in my head that I would look better with bangs. So I cut them, and they look good for a bit, especially if it is winter when my hair stays styled more easily. But then summer comes, with the aggravating humidity and resultant frizz. Then I curse myself for cutting the bangs... which aren't long enough to pull back into a ponytail, escape vengefully from all hairpins, or contort themselves into an inch-long edge-fro when the humidity level is optimal for shrinkage. I vow never to cut bangs again, and proceed to grow them out, for years and years. Finally, my bangs more or less reach the rest of my length. I enjoy it for a while, relieved no longer to have to do "extra" things because of the bangs. But eventually, I get bored again, and forget all the misery of 2-4 years of growing out bangs... and cut them again. The vicious cycle begins anew. :lol:

The nose to chin-length layered bangs I cut in the spring of 2008 are just now reaching midback to waistlength stretched (chin to shoulder curly). I hope I have finally learned my lesson!

I think Candy's idea about fake bangs is good, so you can see if you really like having bangs first, before you actually cut your hair.

The other fake bangs I know of are the ones on the original "Betty la Fea" that were folded and pinned from uncut hair. But you probably aren't going for that look, :lol:.

No Hair Washes For 11 Years??????
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Sky-News-Archive/Article/200806413291687

The Water Only Method (You can read the entire thread on the LHC link below. I found this very interesting and it was introduce with a lot of good information. I think this is why co-washing(no shampoo method) is beneficial as well.)
"Water only (WO) is the method of using only water to wash your hair, with the goal of coating your entire length of hair with naturally produced sebum. This was inspired by this article about a woman who has not washed her hair for 11 years."

I DC'd today. I modified my DC and my hair felt a noticeable difference... My hair feels great!:grin:

My usual mix is 2 egg yokes, 1 vitamin E capsule, 3 tablespoons of green tea, 3 tablespoons of oil (olive or grapeseed) and 1 cup of my favorite conditioner. (capsules are slit open and poured in the mix)

This time I used 2 egg yokes, 1 vitamin E capsule, 1 Omega3 capsule, 1/4 cup of green tea, 3 tablespoons of grapeseed oil and 1 1/4 cup of my favorite conditioner.

Put on my plastic cap for 3 hours.

I am in love :love2: with my DC!:grin:

Hallelujah for the booty touchers!:lol: I guess I'll be adding you to the CL Challenge... :lachen: You know if you breath my way, your in!:grin:

I think diet and hair care regime go hand in hand. You get the maximum growth and healthy hair benefit when you got both things on track. And... having a knock out body is always a bonus!:lol: I won a bike at a festival. So I started riding it to work (3 miles each way). Every month I go on mountain hikes on weekends... My body and legs have been whipping into shape nicely along with the hair! So yes, get back to those things that were working for you. Combine diet, exercise and a good hair regime!:yep:

Candy828, you cannot mention new hair toys without pictures! We want pictures! ;) :lol:

I love Flexi-8s; I wear them much more often than any other hair accessories. I went overboard buying them though; I have 3 X-Large, 2 Large, 3 Medium, 2 Small, 1 X-Small and 1 Mini. Those last two I use in my daughter's hair, so they don't count. ;)

Mz.MoMo5235, I hope you will be able to keep up with us once in a while from India. :)
 
Hi, everyone.

The foundation made me break out so now I can't wear makeup for a while. When my skin clears up I am going to wear a little concealer and eye makeup, but no more foundation.

I think I've made up my mind. I'm getting bangs cut, I think. I talked to my beautician today and she said it is possible for me to have bangs. So I plan on getting my hair cut. I need to do something different. I've wanted this for so long so I don't think I'll regret it.

Here's how my hair looks today:

If I do get the bangs cut a lot of length will have to be taken off and it will take years to grow back:

DSC03366-vi.jpg


^^^All of that hair will have to be cut to chin length at least, so I'll be losing a lot. I'm guessing it will take like 6 years to grow back to where it is now.

As a child and during part of my adolescence I kept bangs and I think I want them again. So, I plan on getting it cut.

Lately, I've been wearing hair combs everyday:

I like the 3 prong better than the 4 prong.
