Don't perm it, especially since you have highlights. Just hie thee to your stylist and you can come up with a growing-out gameplan. If you do color it, try to stick with a semi-permanent color; that will weight down the frizz, fill out the porosity and won't be nearly as damaging as either a permanent color or wave. If you haven't had it cut at all since last September, I'm thinking that would definitely be in order. (It will grow out nicer, and seem to grow quicker as well in that you won't have hair breakage from split ends).

KB, I like how the gray sideburns you gave Disneyphile bring out the color in her eyes.

Who knows? Gray sideburns might a good look for anybody thinking of fighting in the Civil War.

So, today is hair day. GusGus and I are doing our 'dos together.

I just decided to go for a trim/shaping and color. I can't wait for this afternoon! :)

Sounds like a good plan T :) You may want to ask your stylist for suggestions on how to work through the awkward stage of the grow out as well, and for something to add a bit of weight to it so you can control it better.

Post the after pics please!

It is amazing how much I learn about my wife's life from reading this board.

Do NOT allow her to cut her hair short. I don't care if it is her hair; this is one thing she does not get a say on.

SHe didn't even get it trimmed. ;) It is cute, curly, and soft now though. She looks like Lady Godiva. :D

Here's an action shot, looking like I'm ready for the next president to take office:



If I tilted my head just right, I could pick up a French radio station. ;)

And, the final results:



It's actually very red in the sunlight.

She did just a trim and bit of an undercut to make the ends more tame. I heart my hair again! :)

It looks amazing T!

Looking good! Me likey!

Thanks. :blush:

It's a 4RR, with a touch of brown to blend the added highlights.

Wow!
 

It looks great, I love it. Very smooth and silky! I'm so glad you're happy with it. You have every reason to be, it looks beautiful.
