I have uploaded a pic of me that is from this time last year. My hair is a bit layered all around now and 23" from crown to back ...but it is really damaged. I am looking for style advice. Should I just keep it pulled up until it grows out of the damage or cut it into a short style? If so...what would look good? Thanks in advance. jacqui |

Jacquie I think you should go with a shoulder legthn bob. You are very pretty though! I think that you should not wear it pulled back. Just my thoughts. Come on people - where are you????? Debbie ------------- There is more to life than hair...Come on---Go get a life!!!!!!! |

When I got tired of dealing with damaged hair, I just cut it. Your choices are pretty much left to either cut it, or condition and Infusium and whatever else it takes to make it look healthy every day unless/until the damage grows out. *shrugs* ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

Hi Jacqui, Thanks for sharing your photo.  I think you look nice with your hair loose. You can't go wrong no matter what you decide.------------- |

I am very wary of haircutting now ever since the bangs incident. It's a huge change to let go of a foot of hair. I am a hair texture freak, so I would just suggest putting some waves into it. Damage = frizziness, and a little frizz with waves looks fine. In fact, those people in the magazines with perfect and precise hair look like they are sporting a wig. ------------- |

How much do you feel you would need to cut to get rid of the damage? ------------- |

The question is what you want. If damage is really bothering you, then you should get rid of it. You can try to repair the damage, but that is often difficult. Of course, if you want to keep the length, try the route. If you're looking for an excuse to get something different, cut away the damage and then see if you're happy with that length. or go shorter. ------------- |

Thanks everyone, for all of your great responses. I guess I have had so many hair cur blunders that i fear I will have another. The damage is to about 4 inches from the ends up, all throughout the hair. P.S. The picture in the avatar is of one uncommon frizz free day. Picture some layers throughout and unruly stick out ends from about the shoulders down. I am still trying the conditioner route, but as of yet have not forund anything that will help it. jacqui ------------- |

If you remember Lyris had the same issues you have and she got a great new style... I think the same style would look wonderful on you too. ------------- |

I recommend just brushing the shoulders in back (cut so that it naturally curls under) with some tapering on the sides, and the same off-center part in your avatar - but that's my favorite style, so I'm biased! I do have a face shape like yours, however, and that style has worked well for me in the past. I am curious - how did you get the damage? I cut off 8 inches 2 years ago after a miscarriage and stress caused damage, which brought my length up to shoulder length. Also, with fall coming, do you find you have less trouble with decreased humidity? Maybe you would not feel like you need a cut as much once humidity declines, depending on where you live. |

I have the same problem with extremely damaged hair on the ends...I went a long time without cutting it and was terrified to part with the "long hot" look. If you are really determined to keep your hair long then just have it trimmed twice as often and don't wear it up; everytime I wear my hair up for a long amount of time it seems to end up even more damaged then before...just try to be very gentle with it and don't over process it. It may also be good to point out how you dry your hair. (I quit towel drying and blowdrying alltogether and that helped quite a bit) ------------- Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change,the courage to change the things I can't accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill today because they pissed me off. |

Thanks everyone! Dragonness...I have gotten to the point where all I do after washing is wrap it in a soft towel foor a few mins...but I have to wear it up! I live in Florida and it is so****ing hot! I will try to get it trimmed more often and seeif it helps. Thansk for everyone's feedback. jacqui ------------- |
