sleeping

Hi Emilee. My name is actually Juliana. My user name is way too long, but I don't think I can change it now. Your natural hair colour really suits you and not getting highlights keeps it healthy.

I had really long hair as a child, but it was short through junior high and much of high school. I've had it long for about ten years now. I find it much easier to take care of than short hair (less bedhead). As for sleeping, I actually just flip it up over the top of my pillow. It doesn't stay there all night, though. My boyfriend often rolls over on it. I've been trapped a few times, but I've just gotten used to it. Sometimes I put it in a scrunchy on top of my head. It gives me some wave and a bit of lift at the roots the next day.

The first picture I'm attaching shows my natural colour. It's auburn (sort of a chestnut with red and gold highlights in the sun). It's been that colour for ever and I got a bit tired of it, so I dyed it for the very first time ever about 3 weeks ago. It was a nice honey blonde. I loved it until I added some highlights. They were pale lemony yellow. I tried to tone them myself. It was disastrous. Over the next 24 hours, I had numerous hair colours ranging from apricot to bleached blonde. I eventually ended up with brown hair (2nd picture). I still want highlights, but I've learned my lesson. I'm going to a pro to get it done.

The third picture is me before I got my new haircut. I know what you mean about wanting to have some hair around your face. I have a high forehead, so hair all one length is a little too severe for me (as you can see in the photo).

hi viktoria! thanks for joining it!

i am getting attached to this site it is so much fun!

i want to share with you guys my "hair journey"
i think i might go to that thread & post that later
on.. (no time to figure that out now) but i have
had quite the journey, i think you guys might
find it.. interesting (:

my hair has been doing well at night. ive been
just simply wearing it down & pulling it to one
side. it works great. if i wake up throughout the
night i just consciencely(sp?) pull it to the side
so my husband does not lay/roll on it.

i cut more hair around my face last night.
thanks for juliana (: you inspired me! so
yeah, it looks alright.. i hate how that hair
appears dirtier then the rest though.. washing
over the sink is helpful.. yet very annoying..

thanks for sharing those pictures with us.
i love seeing people's hair. personally, i think
that you look really good without bangs. but
then again, ive never seen you with bangs.
but yeah, i like you in the picture i think that
you are a very beautiful woman (:

aaah well i will post my hair journey soon then.
i can upload them through my husband's site
(he does webdesign) so yeah im all set that way
but thank you very much! hmm ill try adding one
on to this post just for fun..

this is a picture of my hair on my wedding day
(i got married this summer)

as you can see i edited this many times because
i cannot get the image to appear so here is the
link haha..



i got it!!!!!!
sortof! haha..
thats not the picture that i wanted to put on
but i guess that i got rid of the picture of my
hair all done.. they ended up taking all of those
curls & pinning them up into loose curls & then
they put flowers all through it. then the top of
my hair is all weaved together .. basket like..

Emilee, I love the hairstyle from your wedding photos. That is so cool. I've never seen that woven look before. Very beautiful.

I agree with you, it's great to find other women who enjoy talking about hair. Especially long hair.

Most of my friends have short hair. I've had short hair before and I've found that my long hair is easier to take care of. (None of my short-haired friends believe me when I tell them this.) When my hair was short I had to use a lot of styling products. I could never just roll out of bed, brush my hair and be ready to leave the house like I can now.

As for the teaching job, I'll probably stick with a loose bun for now. I'm sure that won't last for long, though. Once I've settled in I'll probably go back to leaving it down because that's my favourite way to wear it. I tend to get "hair headaches" when I leave my hair up all day. I think I was just concerned about the students' initial impression of me. I was afraid they wouldn't respect me as much if I looked too young.

Deltagirl, your hair looks highlighted in your photo. Is it or is that natural? Whatever it is, it's a lovely colour.

I'm planning on getting highlights soon. This is the colour I'm aiming for. The first time I ever coloured my hair was about a month ago (it's brown now). I want to be blonde though. I'm ready to try something new.

Hi Juliana:

That photo was taken a few months ago. My hair color is not natural in that photo. My natural color is a shade or two darker. You are correct. In that photo I do have highlites. Since that photo was taken the highlites are gone. I was thinking of adding them back in. I like the look it gives me.

What to you all think ?

When I ask my girlfriends, they all say. I should cut my hair much shorter. I am so against that.

Susan

Hi Em:

Big Welcome back. we missed you..

Susan

Great pictures, Emilee! You, Susan and Juliana, and your hair, are pretty. Looking "too" young is not a bad thing, IMO. I used to be mistaken for being as much as 10 years younger than I am. Not so sure how much people would underestimate my age these days - high stress takes a toll.

Juliana, where on your head do you position the bun? Your headaches might be reduced or even eliminated if the positioning is changed.

Susan, why invite trouble? Don't even ask your hometown girlfriends for their opinion.

Hi Juliana,

I think Denise (catt_grrl) may have some ideas for putting your hair up in a way that won't hurt. Denise....?

Thanks for the compliment on my youthful appearance, though I will say that being on vacation (when the picture was snapped) does help reduce stress considerably -- at least for the duration of the vacation.

Emilee, I just wanted to say I think your hair is really pretty!! I love that how they weaved it in your wedding photos. Very pretty!!

Dave, your hair is really long!! It looks very healthy and nice! Lol, Im envious!

Juliana, I think your natural hair color is so nice, I like that reddish auburn look, tho I know what you mean when you say you want to try a new color, cause I guess sometimes we get tired of our own color even though it is very pretty, and want to try something new. I bet you would look good blonde as well! I hope that works out good for you. :)
