How to love my hair
It made me
Confident! 
"I let my natural grey grow in and my hair became so much more manageable and luscious than when it was colored. "
How I did it: When people say grey is "difficult" I think it's only so when it's growing alongside a color. Once it is completely in it's natural state it's way easier to handle.
As far as the more-painful-and-longer-than-growing-in-your-bangs process goes, you do have to develop a little bit of attitude about yourself, if you don't have one already. Growing in your grey is not for sissies, as they say - you will get strange looks on the street. But the good news is a) you'll likely never look this bad again b) you only have to do it the once, and c) when it's done you'll be so proud of yourself, happier with your hair, and sexier than ever for having gone through the difficult yet liberating experience of truly (finally!) learning how not to care what people think of you. The reward is so worth it: bonafide confidence!
Lessons & tips: Two other things I did that helped: 1) Try a salon-grade, clear glaze a few times a year. Buy the best you can afford and do it at home - takes 3 minutes.
2) Switch to a homemade/soap-free facial cleanser, it makes the delicate hairs that frame your face stronger and healthier, which makes a big difference in your overall look.

I haven’t liked my hair in … months, probably since last summer. I just can’t get the cut right! I go to a stylist, tell them exactly what I want and somehow leave with something completely different. Maybe I’m just expecting too much. Er!
I got it cut...

soo I love it now. It’s thinner at the bottom instead of being all messy and wavy and it’s parted on the side and goes over half my face, but looks really nice if I do say so myself. I hope all of you love your hair soon!
take care,
Lisa

i can not describe the extreeme hatred i have for my hair. while i do my best to take good care of it, it does not do its best to take care of me. kinky, curly, frizzy, dramatic, a big pain. it takes hours for me to do anything nice to it, so i always end up just pulling it back into a messy bun kind of thing. I saw an entry about someone who was surprised at how long thier hair had gotten. i straightened my hair new years eve and everyone was surprised at how long it was, even i was! i have been growing it out for almost 4 years now since high school when i cut it off close to 4 or 5 inches to get rid of the bleached areas on the tips. at that time it was barely above my shoulders, and now its just about to my nipples when curly and probably below my breast line and to my mid back when straightened. I just hope to one day find a style that i love my hair..a color that i truly appreciate and more importantly, a mind set that when i look in the mirror i can say i look really great!

Sadly, I just don’t like it all that much. I am in need of a hair cut now so that may be the reason for why it is dull and boring to me. I love the feeling of freshly cut hair, maybe that’s the solution to my problem.

My hair is really thick and it grows really fast. I’ve managed to get it healthly and shiny…probably because I chopped it really short last summer…and now it’s past my shoulders. I am going gray and I have to color the roots every 4 weeks (i use light reddish brown) but it turns out really well, with the colored grays being a lighter brown it gives me highlights. I’ve cut down my blowdrying time by also using a straightning iron.

I love washing it so often, which i couldn’t do with my perm as I needed a beautician. I’m thinking about this thing called sisterlocks. Only thing is I still think long= sexy. All I get is nostalgic old men ogling me now.

It’s quite a struggle though because my boyfriend doesn’t get it (he’s a white indiana boy). I find myself having to say to myself ” wait, this is my damn hair!” when it comes up in a conversation as if it were a group decision.
I want to have me back. Wear my hair instead of it wearing me. I feel like a goddamn Geisha ; like I have to sleep on a wooden block or something when I get it done! It sucks.I want to be free!
