Oh, the drama of hair. I always remind myself I did just fine when I was on chemo 20 years ago and didn’t have any hair. What’s to complain about?
Plenty, I guess. It needed to be cut, my stylist did exactly what I wanted her to do, but I really don’t know how to fix it anymore. Letting it air dry as I did for the picture in my previous post did not produce the results I expected.
Although I dreaded it, today I went back to the salon and bought styling gel. I wet my hair, added the gel and put some leave-in conditioner on the ends. Then I dragged out the blow dryer. More work but better. With the shorter length, I can probably get away with blow drying it periodically. I previously avoided heat because I was pushing the limits of what my hair can do.
Maybe I like this. It looks more modern, don’t you think? A bit thicker and less frizzy? There’s some extra forehead showing, but I don’t really care about that. It is what it is. I do not want bangs. All in all, I believe I can accept this hair, but I’m not sure it’s me. A little too conventional, perhaps.
That said, my hair was really starting to look bad. Something needed to be done. At least with this length, I can still wear it up or in a pony with a hat for golf and other sports. What do you think? A keeper or keep trying?
I like it. It’s a keeper!
Thank you! I’m warming up to it.
You look fabulous!
Thank you so much, Maggie.
I think it looks great!!
Thank you!
Donna, you look great the one way or the other.
As you may remember, I wear my hair long. I keep it like this: one last chop at April and then let it grow till September. During the cold period I wear different clothes, which look better with shorter hair and blowout (like yours).
In the summertime, it simply doesnt matter and I like a “messy” look.
I like your strategy of messy summer, blowout in the winter. I am starting to see I can live with this hair. Most of the time, I don’t have to fix it, but when I do, it looks way better at this length.
Keeper!
The voting is consistent — keeper!
I think I can comment on behalf of all your male subscribers (“Bueller.. anyone?”) when I say that you can please relax. You’re rockin’ the new cut – and the shades complete the look.
Hi, George! Thank you very much. I am starting to like it — as you say, just relax. Speaking of Bueller, I was thinking just yesterday I haven’t read anything about Ben Stein lately. I wonder what he’s up to and where he stands with the political scene.
Your hair looks healthier with the ends trimmed a bit.Looks good on you.I cut my hair very short years ago–too lazy for “goddess hair”– BUT since yours in mostly all one length and can be pulled up in a pony or a bun,I say just keep it like that–the shorter cut is more maintenance,I have to have a trim every 5 weeks. You can let your length go for months and still look good!!
Thank you. You are right, of course. I guess I just need time to adjust.
Looks terrific! It’s a keeper for sure:)
Thank you so much. I’m still getting used to it, but the positive feedback helps!
