I got my hair cut short yesterday! Theres just a tiny bit of dye left. I am so happy to be rid of the dye! My hair feels great, and I love my natural color. Now, I'm ready to let it grow again! I just need 1 more little trim to get rid of the rest of they dye.

WOW, look how much grew out in a year! That's awesome. You should have all the dye out within the next year, right?

Hey Paper - OK - where is the picture with the flat ironed hair?
Glad you are really happy with your hair. It does look really healthy in the picture. Much more shine than the one above it.
I still want to see the other picture - <hint hint>

It's been 1 year since I last dyed my hair! Here are some before and after pictures.
This was taken about 2 weeks after I last dyed my hair.
And this is how it looks now, 1 year later.
I am happy with my hair right now. It's healthy and shiny and the color/s aren't bothering me as much. I can't wait to see what next year brings!
I used my new Flat Iron a couple times and Love it! I got lots of compliments when my hair was straightened.

hehe Jenn!
I took this picture yesterday of my hair in a half up wearing one of my new flexi's. It really shows my new growth. Just a few more inches of dye to cut off, yay!

Thanks for saying that Jenn, and you are so right!
Oh, I like updos and hats. I just don't like feeling that I have to wear them. DH always says I look sexy in a baseball cap :). Thanks for your nice comments and support Bob!

Thanks Paper. Yes, you answered my question. I thought maybe that your mentioning of updos and hats suggested that you felt that you long hair down looked "unstyled", as some women do.
I can't imagine how anyone else in this world who sees you from front or back, as we just have in your kind photos, would think of your hair as "awful". Think "pretty"!(lol) Hang in there, Gal! Keep the hat thing alive, as well. I long for the good old days in many ways. Thanks again, Bob

@flat iron!!! You should absolutely do what YOU want to do with your hair! You are well informed through the forums but shouldn't feel obligated to follow steadfast rules that make you feel crappy about your hair! (and yourself, as our hair can be an extension of self)

Thanks Jenn! Yes, this cut has definitely brought out my waves. I bought a flat iron today, I know *gasp*. I want to straighten my hair once in awhile for a change. I'm cutting the dyed part off anyways, so I don't have to worry about damaging it.
Hi Bob! No, I just hate the dyed part. There are days I want to cut all the dye off. I'm really surprised I lasted this long! I have black and white stripes on top and solid red on the length, it's awful! Hope that answers your question.

Now you've got me curious, Paper. Is it possible that after wearing short, "styled" hair for years, you don't feel "put together", so to speak, with your hair simply down, or with a clip in the back? Frankly, hats on women with long hair are HOT! You should see this 60'ish woman at a local Boscov's with waist length hair and gorgeous hats. Unreal!
P.S. My wife has yet to color, but once she does, I'm sure she'll be at it for life. Her mom has never colored at 77, still has a little brown, has great, thick hair, but it's too permed and short. She definitely has no need to color. The minute it grows out a bit and looks good, I know that the next time I see her it'll be ruined again. My wife agrees with me on this one. (lol) Bob

It looks great PAPER! Do you think cutting some made your waves more evident? That's what it looks like in the first pic. Good luck growing out the rest of your dye....I'm not that brave yet.

Thanks Bob! Yes, this was the best decision for me. I got sick of wearing updos and hats. I feel sooooo much better now. My hair journey for now, is growing out dye!
