Hi Bob!    Thanks for stopping by! Thanks for the compliments and encouragement!  
 
I know I hated losing 4 months of growth. But, I think your right, my sides were shorter then my back and now it's all nice and even. I'm already much happier with the way my ends look. I'm thinking of doing regular trims, maybe half an inch every 6 months? I think you were the one that recommended that.
 
I am so glad using the semi permanent was a success! I'm hoping when I go darker it will be even a better blend. I actually like the 2 tone look too, on others. When people make comments on my hair that the top is black and the back is red, it makes me want to cut it off. I agree too, I hate when women cut their hair really short just to cut off dye. I follow the web site www.goinggraylookinggreat.com It's very inspirational, but I hate that most cut off their hair. I love seeing the before and after pictures. They almost always look better with their natural color silver hair. Anyways, I am excited again about letting my hair grow!
 
P.S. My journal will probably slow down. I am planning on taking a length shot every 3 months instead of every month. I think it will be more exciting this way. So, Oct. will be my next length shot.

     Big%20smile Hello Paper! I believe that your jourmal is the most active thread at HB! (LOL) I'm happy for you that your trim went well. Maybe if I had that precision tool, I'd be less nervous trimming DW's hair. Anyway, looks good.
     Well, I'm crossing my fingers that your thickness will increase at longer lengths. Remember, you are growing from a layered short cut. I don't believe that all your hairs have reached your shoulder blades yet. Also, iIt seems to me that underneath hair grows more slowly than top layers. Sooo... I think (hope) that you will be more pleased this time. I know that patience was well rewarded with my wife's hair!
     As for the uneven coloring, I like your idea about the temp rinses to blend it. I admit to disappointment when women go the chop route when attempting a new color, whether silver or any other. As long as I'm blabbering, I might as well confess that I really enjoy seeing long hair with several colors, as long as they are not too contrasting. Those ladies with several inches of bright platinum blonde at the bottom ends and darker colors above, ahhh...!  Maybe I'm in the minority on this one.LOL
     Keep up the great work, Paper. The hair is already a smashing success story. Cordially, Bob

I am so excited! I've been wanting to try an experiment and finally did yesterday. As you all know, I'm unhappy with the 2 tone I have going on. I really, really, don't want to cut my hair, thats not an option! I decided to put semi permanent on my dyed part only. I used half med brown and half dark brown. Next time, I'm going to use just the dark brown. I think I need to go darker, then I'll have a better blend. I am happy with the results! I like seeing the brown now instead of the red!
 
 
Usually my hair looks really red outside, you can see here, it looks brown...
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here's a picture of my hair in a half up....

Pburgh, I know a few guys that have always had long hair. They usually wear it in a long braid in the back.

hmm thats a good question. My goal is BSL. That seems like a nice length, it will be really long to me, but not alot of bother. Who knows, when I get there, I might want to keep going. Big%20smile I can't imagine having really long hair past hip though.

Thanks Pburgh! I think my hair looks longer too, when it's put up, you never know how long it really is! Thats great, your not going to have short hair again. Sounds like having long hair is really for you. I feel the same way about my hair, I'll never go short again!

It took me a year to trim off layers and it will be years for me to grow out color. So, I would never do that again! LOL But thats me. You do what makes you happy. I'm sure it will look great!
