They make you get product and styling. I cannot use product--face breaks out, head itches, and smell suffocates me. I never like the styling and wash my hair as soon as I get home.<br /><br />Besides, when I tried the college, my hair was mutilated.I left very unhappy and never went back. <br /><br />The nearest mall is 50 miles away. I really like going to the place three blocks away. This town is small.<br /><br />The last time I got a bad haircut, I cried.<br /><br />Of course, everything is so close here that I can actually afford to get the haircut for $25 better than if I lived in a large city and had to drive so far to everything and found a cheap haircut.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-30552675710197988932012-09-18T19:37:11.370-05:002012-09-18T19:37:11.370-05:00Do you have any local beautician schools (or whate...Do you have any local beautician schools (or whatever they're called now)?

The worst part is that my skin just is the wrong color for snow white hair. I would have to wear makeup each day to even look human. Even though my eyebrows are very dark, my skin is very pale because I keep the sun from it because I fear the skin cancer that killed several of my father's brothers. <br /><br />Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-30875995823163659962012-09-17T01:07:58.653-05:002012-09-17T01:07:58.653-05:00One of the first things I did when I quit work abo...One of the first things I did when I quit work about 8 years ago was to QUIT coloring my hair. I wear my hair really short so there is no way to hide roots as they grow out.....along with having sort of a shaggy ill-defined hairline that is really hard to color. Not having to do those touch-ups was a great relief! <br /><br />I cut my own hair a time or two when I was in junior high. I shouldn't have!<br /><br />Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024512934812657769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-57706063017920242162012-09-16T07:58:07.177-05:002012-09-16T07:58:07.177-05:00Very nice photo.

I tried and he said he did not know how...??? He had never seen it done. <br /><br />If you have your hair layered, she just has to take a bit off each little section--2x2 or 1x1 inch, whatever. <br /><br />Why would you not go to doctor or take the meds? I just keep forgetting. I was philosophically opposed to them and refused for two years. Then, I realized I should just capitulate on this one! <br /><br />Thanks for the addresses.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-66327259494407226652012-09-15T16:16:08.351-05:002012-09-15T16:16:08.351-05:00Another AL blogger: davidanddarcy.blospot.comAnother AL blogger: davidanddarcy.blospot.comFelecia Cofieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454535396468307243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-75895316042408756902012-09-15T16:15:10.833-05:002012-09-15T16:15:10.833-05:00Hi Linda!

I may let her cut the back of my hair like that! I hate to pay so much for just a few snips!<br /><br />I too have thinning hair! I believe it is because of the thyroid. I haven't been to a doctor to have it checked, and probably won't. I wouldn't take the meds, either! Thanks for sharing!

I pushed it half way in and asked the man not to shear his hair to the skin halfway up. I was polite. He was not, "I cut a man's hair like he wants it, no matter what a wife wants." Soooo, I told ex that I would cut his hair. I did so for 12 years and he really liked it. <br /><br />I cut my son's hair and two daughters' Hair for years. The son insisted on a shop "style" and I let him. He swore he loved it as he came from the shop. Two weeks later, he said he wanted me to cut it from now on...lol.<br /><br />I have the same problem with the haircolor. We could go to gene therapy together!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-11379353318122481492012-09-15T11:14:11.967-05:002012-09-15T11:14:11.967-05:00I will sometimes cut and layer my hair if I don...I will sometimes cut and layer my hair if I don't have time to get it done and I am flying out. Our schedules change daily, sometimes hourly every single day since we are on call. I have been cutting my husbands hair every month for the last 3 years because his schedule is even more insane than mine. Haven't yet found any 24 hour places that fit our schedule. Plus, they always wanted to cut my husbands dark curly hair too short.<br /><br />Three years ago, he came home after another bad haircut already tired from a 16 hour work and travel day and begged me to do it next time. He is happy with my cuts and we can do a hair cut at 2am if the mood strikes. Problem solved. <br /><br />However, he will never do mine for any reason. I have long curly wavy hair and he said he would rather die first. My hair grows pretty fast. I color my hair every 2 weeks because there is a 1/2 inch tell tale sign if I don't.<br />Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-36933624137894579132012-09-15T10:21:32.299-05:002012-09-15T10:21:32.299-05:00Sue,

She sort of objected, did it when I assured her she would no make me angry and could not get it too wrong when I only wanted two inches off the length. My hair was all one length and very long. <br /><br />Then, this woman got all huffy and said now I had to cut her hair, curly hair, very curly hair. That did not bother me at all. I just cut a piece and clipped it up. She said beauticians took forever and did not do as good a job. Curly seems easy to me, a person who only knows to cut each section of hair only once, never try to even out anything. Just leave the gap because you can only make it worse!<br /><br />Yes, exbf was way out of his comfort zone!<br /><br />I just had someone take a picture and will post it in an hour or so. <br /><br />I wish with all my heart I had gotten coarse, curly hair...well either coarse or curly. Mine is so straight and fine.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-41852057995646265292012-09-15T08:54:03.599-05:002012-09-15T08:54:03.599-05:00Renoman has cut mine.

It's naturally curly so it always looks messy to me anyway. lol He was way outside his comfort zone, but he cut half an inch off every ringlet as I instructed :-) Sue Frelickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150735651127251014noreply@blogger.com
