Love the bangs Jenn! I know you will like them as your hair gets longer too, especially if you want to pull your hair back.

It's official....I'VE LOST MY MIND! In talking to my stylist yesterday, I've decided to grow my hair out again. I told her the things I didn't like about it last time and she made some suggestions that made sense.

1st, the lack of body/curl bugged me. I also got tired of Henna, so I've been using boxed dye (for grey coverage) for about 8mos. She told me that as long as I didn't try to lighten my hair, I can get a body wave if I want to, in the future, without frying my hair completely. I didn't like how HARD I had to work for curls before, so a perm will help a lot.

2nd, because of my job, I have to wear my hair up everyday and I didn't like that slicked back look on my face. Personally, I thought I looked really old. So she suggests choppy bangs with it graduated down the temples, stopping just at cheek bone length. I'll post a pic of the style I like, if I can get pics to post.

Yes, my hair is definitely my mid-life crisis....Oh well, guess it could be worse! LOL

Hi everyone!!! I heard you were talking about me over here. :) Jenn, I think that picture you posted would suit your face shape perfect! I agree with keeping your bangs, I think that will make a huge difference. Good luck growing. I look forward to watching your progress.

Yes, being a grandma is awesome!!! It's the most wonderful feeling ever! We all just keep staring at him lol.

I am attempting to grow my hair also, so we can grow together!

Teeheeee that's true Rob! She's a busy bee with life, as she tells me. I sent her an email the other day but haven't heard back. I'm sure being a Grandma is far more interesting than emails....hehe. Thank you for your continued support and never ending compliments. :)

     Well, you really don't need make-up Jenn. I'm glad to hear that you're back in the fold. You know what look *I* like best on you---and almost every woman on the planet. The short hair does look good on you, though, I'll say. NOW, if Paper rejoins the growing crowd, we'll be set! Rob [LOL]

**Where did my purple font go**???

Anyway, pardon the lack of makeup but here are starting pics. I didn't style it either....guess I'm a slacker!

LOVE this hairstyle.  I've decided my hair is my mid-life crisis and I will grow it back out some - to this cut.  And who knows....maybe long again one day.Tongue
