Hair!

[The Cat Factory]

My hair is down to my butt, and it's drak brown and curly

[Karen]

Brown, wavyish (depending on how humid it is outside) and too long right now. It's about to the bottom of my shoulder blades in back, but in the front my "bangs" are down past my nose, (I've got a couple layers on the sides/front) so it's past time to get it chopped off!

http://www.locksoflove.org/ is the organization to which long hair can be donated when it's cut off, there's lots of info on their website.

When I cut my hair a few years ago, I donated it to Locks of Love.

PCB- Thanks for the tip! I'll have to try it tonight.

That was such a giving gift. You should
feel very good that you helped others.

The lady who cut my hair was the same person who gave me my very first haircut She annouced it to everyone in the place, it was kinda cool the took before and after pictures too, but I dont have them.

Hmm well my hair is brown, but it has natural highlights in it almost everycolor if I remember correctly. Also depending on the time of year and how much time I've spent outside it will sometimes get lighter.

I keep it short though, usually just above my ears. Mainly because I can't be bothered to do anything with it when it gets long, plus when it gets to a certain length I get ringlets which everyone wants to play with. At the moment though it's in the stage that I like but that my mom just hates, it's just getting in to the shaggy stage...I'll get a hair cut before the summer though, I don't like hair on the back of my neck when it's hot..just ads to the heat.

When I cut my hair I found somthing out- I HAVE VERY VERY CURLY HAIR and it is so stinkin thick!

Icyshiver--very cool of you to give your hair to cancer patients--what a big heart you have.
My hair is supposed to be brown, but I color it all the time. It's light brown, with blonde highlights now, summertime I will probably go lighter---and it is ridiculously fine and thin

My mom thinks that is funny that me and Annie have the same reddish brown hair now. Its kinda cool, sometimes the judges will look at my hair and then Annies, and Smile, not often do you color cordinate to your dog.

Brown, with highlights, fairly straight, and fairly long.

FLS- I suggest you use a bit of conditioner- like less than a dime size, and apply it to your hair after you get out of the shower. I don't know about the olive oil thing for most caucasians....I think it might make your hair flat, and leave a build-up(not to mention clogging pores, leaving a mark on your pillow case, couch, smell, etc. ). They do make leave in conditioner....I use it...and it is specially formulated for dry hair, but, not heavy. Just a thought.

[Soledad]

Medium length, dark brown and extremely curly! But I straighten it out with a curling iron, bizarrely enough.

I will try the olive oil thing. I have heard about it in Cosmo and a few other mags. They're starting to make hair products with olive oil in them. And if you're interested in coconut oil, The Body Shop has a great smelling coconut oil glosser.

When I was in college, my hair was way past my butt, I could easily sit on it.

Now it's about shoulder length. I'm growing out my bangs ... for the first time in about 25 years! We'll see ... I'll probably hate it.

My hair is medium/dark brown, with a little natural wave to it. I also have a white steak in my bangs ... which my mom has always hated, but I think it's pretty cool.

All this talk about growing out bangs reminds me, I need to get mine cut. I'm starting to resemble a sheepdog. LOL And need to hide this forehead of mine!

I LOVE long hair and my Helen has beautiful brown, long hair. It is almost to her waist. She keeps it in a pony tail most of the time, but that's ok, it's a beautiful pony tail! I told her that as long as I'm paying, she won't be getting it cut off!!! Plus, experience tells me that she would regret it terribly if she ever did.

As I have gotten older mine has gone from straight to being very wavy. Could it be because I am 75% gray?? I'm not letting the gray show, though, so I am my natural brown, and my hair is growing....no bangs, just a little layering in the front. It is hanging on my shoulders now, and I'm planning to let it get a little longer, but not too long for an old lady!!!

My hair is dark brown, and several grey hairs on my temples. My eyes are blue-grey, rather unusual for a brown-haired. I wear my hair in a pony-tail; as a child it was always short and cut like a boy ! My mom said my hair would be nice and thick later. First thin I did after my marriage, is let my hair grow

Away.....

I had hair like this!



(in helping my parents get ready to move from the house in which I grew up....have found many old photos!)
