Looks great, Lyris! Thanks for sharing your photos with us.

Scrolling through the responses and seeing the signature pics, I have to agree with Gord. Beautiful hair y'all have, too!

Lovely pictures! You are inspiring me to do something about my own raggedy ends. But braving a salon visit? I don´t know...

Hi ladies and gents. Glad you are enjoying a trim now and then as am I. I love the feel of blunt, even ends brushing my back. Unfortunately they don't brush nearly as far down now, but alas!

Gord, I'm in Southwest Michigan and we have had just awful weather. My good friend was nearly killed last night on I-94 near Benton Harbor when he hit a patch of black ice, spun three times and went in a ditch. I hope everyone has the sense to slow down when the next installment of winter hell hits.

Good luck at the salon Jenna! Don't you love the way salons smell? I feel sexy the moment I walk in. :-)

Beautiful, Lyris! I prefer a more blunt cut as well, so I'm actually off to the salon today to get some of the under layers taken off. Some people look really nice with layers, but for me I think my hair appears thicker and healthier at one length.

Seems we have quite a few living dolls here. What else would I expect when we're surrounded by women with long gorgeous hair.

Lyris, I, too, am battling the winter elements in Michigan. I'm south of Detroit. You?

Lyris, you look like a doll! You have beautiful complexion and your hair, so silky looking! I had a haircut too, last Wednesday... long layers. I had 2 inches cut off on the back. I had to do it, my hair was so damaged on the ends, split ends plus it took forever to dry. I love how my hair looks now though!

Have you tried Redken Smooth Down? I am using that now. I like it just as much as the All Soft. Smells nice also.

Am I the first person to see these, then? Cool

The cut looks nice and blunt, and very even. Well done, it looks like you picked the right place to go to! It is a shame you had to lose the length, but the end result will be worth it. Will you be going back to the salon for trims as you grow, or is this it now until you reach your goal?

Sorry everyone---it looks like the image hosting service is now permanently demented. My apologies--does anyone know of a free service that actually works?

Dave, I sent you the pix!

Hi Lyris,

I too would like to see the pictures but I also get the "exceeded daily maximum" message.

Lyris... Seems you are pleased.. happy for you! At this time you photos are unavailable for viewing - hope to see them soon.

Davy Wrote - The boards were disabled for several days after a particularly vicious and unwarranted verbal assault was directed toward a certain upstanding member of this long hair community, who has since (sadly) chosen to not participate here any longer. I see that Hal has posted within this thread -- Hal, you wouldn't happen to know anything about this, would you?

I know quite a bit about that situation but unlike you I chose to respond to the two people who ask about it by bmail as to not farther stir the pot, so to speak. Dave would you like me to send all my post to you so you can approve them or can I not post I your domain at all? Are you sure that upstanding person "chose" to no longer participate?

Hi Lyris! I'm so glad things went well for you at the salon. I tried to view your before and after shots, but got some message about exceeding the daily usage limit. I guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Take care!
Becky

Hi Dave--thanks for enlightening all of us on the recent HB incident. Let's hope we can keep things even keel in the future and continue our hair ramblings as peacefully as possible.

Well, I just couldn't stand the ratty ends any longer, so I moved my salon visit up and got three inches taken off. Of course, this has set me back a good six months from my length goal (now I'm looking at this fall) but I absolutely hated the frayed ends.

Here are before and after photos. (Note: these may not work today, as sometimes the server tells me I've exceeded my daily data transfer limit, even when I clearly have not. Oh well, it's a free service.) Try tomorrow if you can't see them.

Before (the damaged ends aren't evident in this photo, but believe me, they're there)

And after!

I was pretty stunned, because I wasn't aware of problems, especially on this forum.

Hi Ally, and everyone,

The boards were disabled for several days after a particularly vicious and unwarranted verbal assault was directed toward a certain upstanding member of this long hair community, who has since (sadly) chosen to not participate here any longer. I see that Hal has posted within this thread -- Hal, you wouldn't happen to know anything about this, would you?

Karen decided to delete two of the boards ("Just Chillin" and "Philosophize"), where the attacks occurred. So anything that anybody posted there was removed for good.

Karen also instituted some other changes which will hopefully make a recurrence of the unpleasant scenario less likely. These activites were done in an attempt to help ensure that the HairBoutique's message boards are a friendly and pleasant place to visit and exchange thoughts, ideas, and helpful advise.

Jacqui, I'm happy to hear that your trim last month was a success. And Lyris, I wish you the best in your upcoming salon visit. Personally I wouldn't worry about seeming "educated and cool," I would rather just get the service I want. But that's a somewhat-older-than-you-are man talking.
