I like my hair okay but she does what she wants not what I want and because they are close, I tolerate it. So annoying. Poor kid. This is a lesson that's hard to take at any age. _____________________________________________ <em>Well, he's tolerated "close" for so many years, that when he finally found the look he wanted he chose not to deviate.

R E A L L Y S L O W L Y...Luckily I looked good in hats too...I also found an amazing stylist...he's been cutting my coif so long now, he knows the kind of patience I have for styling my hair...and talks me out of near misses...good luck to the sweet boy...and be happy that it's winter time, he won't look out of place in a stocking cap! _____________________________________________ <em>Yes, indeed.

I have short, perky hair for example, but my last cut was way too short and I felt like a sheared sheep. It was depressing to look in the mirror. In college I wanted a permanent for some bizarre reason. The solution just ran off my hair so they had to redo it about 3 times; when they finally got done I looked like a POODLE. It was awful. _____________________________________________________ <em>Yikes, and perms are so hard to grow out! My mom used to wear her hair short and she would say the same thing... A good, no matter your length, really does make a difference. ~W</em> Hair disasters ARE traumatic because our hairstyle does define who we feel we are.
