I'm so happy to hear that it turned out well this time! It sounds lovely.
Monica: Isn't there any way that you could look at this as flattering? I mean, she's doing this to be more like you.
Rachel: Well, then, couldn't she have just copied my haircut?

Some photos of my continuing long hair journey --

I really needed a change so I got about 6 inches of length cut off and had some layers added. Then, I went blonde.

Your hair looks awesome. Did you go blonde after you did the highlighting kt? Or are we looking at the results of the work you did yourself. Reagrdless, it looks really nice and healthy.

Enjoy!

Thanks for your kind words. I used the highlighting kit to go blonde. I used L'Oreal Creme Lights and highlighted about 90% of my hair. I applied the bleach mixture with a denture brush for wide highlights and a toothbrush for finer ones. It's the first do-it-yourself colour job I haven't screwed up and my hair still feels really healthy.

Beautiful hair, alista. Your natural waves are absolutely gorgeous. I'm a natural redhead too (sort of a chestnut/auburn). I had that hair colour for 34 years, but I just went blonde. I love being a blonde (because it's a nice change), but I loved being a redhead too. Your hair is a particularly beautiful, rich and uncommon colour.

P.S. I've noticed that lots of men love blondes and brunettes, but those men who love reheads, REALLY LOVE redheads.

P.P.S. An update to my long hair journey. I've become a bit obsessed with tweaking my hair colour. I went a bit blonder last week (added more highlights) and toned with a purple-based toner to try to get my colour more blonde and less strawberry. I'm still not sure what colour it actually IS, though, because it looks so different depending on the lighting conditions. It still feels healthy though; that's the most important thing.

Korsakovhatt you have beautiful hair! I love the color! I used to want to dye my hair and get rid of the million different colors it seems to have but have since decided I like being a redhead. And I have found guys eaither love or hate redheads...there is no middle ground.

Thank you both for the kind words. My hair isn't as healty as it could be but I'm getting it there with plenty of help and ideas from everyone here.

Hi Alista, I really like the way you and your hair looks. You look very sporty and active, yet laid back and accessible. I think long hair suits you perfectly.

The more you complain, the longer God lets you live.

Alista, your natural colour is gorgeous! It's a good thing you're "too chicken" to colour it. I think that may be wisdom, not cowardice. :-)

I began growing mine back in November of 2000. Prior to that it had always been short. Here is a picture from July 2001...




Here is a picture from February 2004...



I don't have a current picture. When I get around to it, I'll post one.

By the way, everyone's pictures are very impressive. There is such a variety :-)

Hi Sunsailing. Thanks so much for sharing your photos. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous -- so shiny, silky & healthy-looking. Is that your natural colour? (It's similar to my natural colour.) I look forward to seeing your current photo.

Thanks for posting, sunsailing! your hair is absolutely beautiful...

I wish I could get mine that shiny....but, alas...I can't seem to stop coloring it :D everytime I decide not to dye it anymore and color it back to my natural color, it fades, I get roots again and end up having to color it again anyway. ah the wicked word!
