Well, I went to have my hair cut this morning. A lady from my church cuts hair for a descent price, and I'd seen some of the ladies she's cut hair for, so I figured I'd give it a go. Here's the before pictures, both front and back:



And here's after:


Please excuse the dorky look lol. I'm probably going to try and color my hair this week, if all goes according to plan, if and when that happens, I'll be sure to post the results (provided it goes well, if it's horrid, sorry, but you're on your own lol).

It feels pretty strange right now, very light and short. She cut about 4 inches or so off, and it makes a big difference. I'll get used to it though. The main thing I'm worried about is if she got all of the places that tend to knot up. Far as we could tell she had, but time'll tell for sure. If it didn't get taken care off, next time it'll get cut shorter still *gulps*. Oh well, better this way then the knots, I suppose ^_^.

Yeah I remember..Henrik did it a few times for me as well. I hope Dustin gets the hang of it and will be willing to do it again (and does it right this time), so we can save on that. The only time I will go and get it done instead of doing it myself is (if I've got the money by then) come summertime, when I want to go a few shades lighter. Since that involves a lot more work and it does different things to your hair then coloring it reddish, I feel more comfortable having someone do it who knows their stuff. If it doesn't happen this year, it will happen in the future lol.
Dustin says though, that if he can't get it right and looking nice this next time, he'd rather pay to get it done. I can't do it myself, because I simply can't see what I'm doing, which isn't a good thing, as you know. Time will tell though

Ofcourse Dustin can do it, it isn't taht difficult, he just needs to make sure he gets it everywhere on your hair, from the root, and rub it in very well.
Henrik could do it and so could I. I know it is hard to do yourself when you have long hair and you need someone else to do it for you. He can do it if he follows the guidelines.

About colouring your hair lighter, be careful there, you have done it before, and it made your hair very dry and brittle. Even when it was done by a proffesional, it is just the stuff they use to make it lighter that your hair doesn't like.

I know, but a lot's changed since I had it done last. I'm going to talk with my hairdresser when I get to that point and see what my options are.

And if Dustin doesn't want to do it after the next time, why not ask Trina or a friend to do it for you? Maybe you can return the favor sometime. Idea maybe?

[naelany.livejournal.com]

Already thought about it, actually asked her as well, but she's not comfortable with the idea of doing that. Will ask again though, you never know.

[tanyshae.livejournal.com]

Is just that first time that is scary, after that it is ok. At least it was for me, and I think for you as well. Have you asked your sister in law, she might be braver lol.

[naelany.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't...but at least one of them I wouldn't trust near my head, no matter how often she's dyed her own hair lol. And it's not that she's (Trina) dyeing someone else's hair, it's the uhm... how to put it... (in-)descency of how you have to be that gets her. She's a bit...prudish lol (at least when it comes to that)

Oh my, laughs, well can't you put on a very old (dark)tshirt that can be washed afterwards, one which doesn't matter if it should get stains on it and might not get out during the wash? That way you don't have to be in a state of undressed, it isn't as if you are totally naked anyway is it( you still got your bra and knickers on).

*chuckles* once when we were still living in her home, I walked through the house in a shirt and my undies.... and she freaked out. Some people are worse then me, which is a scary thought ^_~. And yes, I could, but still. I think for her it's more the thought of it *shrugs*. I don't know, doesn't matter anyway. It's not like I do my hair every week ^_~

[tanyshae.livejournal.com]

Shakes her head, yeah that is bad, man, you are seing more of you when you wear a bikini ( not that you wear one, but you know what I mean).
And you could also wear a very old almost ready to throw away pair of pants with the tshirt lol.
And yeah I know you don't do your hair every week, but that isn't the point is it.
I hope you will find a solution if Dustin doesn't want to do it any more after the next time.

So it would have really freaked her out to see how we walk around overhere and in Denmark then eh, chuckles.

And yeah, I wouldn't have thought that was possible, though you were a lot better after you had been to Denmark and you never were shy with me either, nor I with you.

[naelany.livejournal.com]

I could, if I had any. Which I don't.

Yeah, it would have. It'd also freak her out how people go to the swimminghall in Denmark ^_~. Did me at first, too.

[tanyshae.livejournal.com]

Yeah I was thinking of the swimminghall too lol. And I know it was strange for you at first, but you got used to it pretty quick.
It makes life a lot easier that way doesn't it.

[naelany.livejournal.com]

Well, I didn't have much choice about the matter, did I now. I either accepted it, or struggle with it
