Paper's Hair Journal

Woooohoooooo!!! Welcome back to HB!   We've missed you!!

I like what you've done with the curling iron in your pics. You have fun with your hair girl - you know I'm right there with ya! Looking forward to seeing what you do with your hair over the next year(s) and also having a growing buddy.
(haha, that's the closest "buddy" smiley I could find)

      Hey Paper! I must be some kind of magician. I say "Paper", and presto, there you are. LOL Your fringe is about as attractive-looking as one could hope to see. I think that if you do stay the course and grow the length out, that front fringe cut should stay. So many times women go for a big change and go short, only to obfuscate their best features instead of playing them up. Think Vanessa Hudgens. Her new cut subtracted a lot more than hair.
      Recently, my one dear friend regretfully HAD to cut her stunning long hair short b/c of maddening scalp psoriasis. Her first couple cuts were nothing special, pleasant enough though. I suggested that since she has nice features, smile, ears, neck, etc, that she should bite the bullet, get a short pixie, and allow her face and her profile to be the center of focus. It worked like a charm. I would NEVER suggest this cut to most women, needless to say, but for her, it worked, just as your style works well for you. Bob

     Thank you for the kind words. You never really know how a pixie is going to look on a woman until it's done. I strongly *suspected* that a pixie with tapered back and sides would be the perfect short hair look for her, but when I saw her, I was relieved b/c it looked even more vibrant on her than I had hoped. She wasn't sure about it for the first day, she said, but now she loves it.
     Sometimes she has looked at pictures of herself with her former tresses and pined, but it's not in the cards for her to have it again, unless she finds a way to more readily remedy the itchiness. Really, though, it's hard to miss the old hair since this flattering cut, so I'm very happy for her.

     P.S. She's been like the sister I never had, in case you're wondering.

I can see the growth and your color is lovely. I think your hair is slightly more wavy than mine....but we are close to being hair twins. Just curious if you have ever had a perm...and how that went?

Thanks John!

Thanks Jenn, I had my hair dresser color my hair to match my natural color. Now that I have about an inch of new growth you can only notice the grays and they mix in nicely. I used to get a perm once a year, but that was a long time ago. Are you thinking about getting one? That might be a great idea, then you could just wash and go and have all that body and wave. Now you have given me something to think about!!!

Paper thank you for the update. The color looks great. Very nice.

Mike & Bob, thanks for your support and nice comments. As always, I appreciate it! :)

Nice update, I like the color! What are you washing/conditioning with these days?
