Let's talk hair:

1. What's your current length?
2. What length do you want your hair to be?
3. do you color or bleach?

My hair is auburn & wavy, currently just below my waist. Hoping to grow it just below butt-length. I use Robert Craig Hair Color in Light Auburn, plus Longhairlovers shampoos & conditioners.

I love talking about hair, too

!

1. My hair length is currently a little below the shoulders, and is wavy and layered.

2. Well, usually I'm ALL about totally long hair, but I'm actually loving my hair the way it is right now (not quite long, but beyond medium length).

3. Highlight

My favorite products: (I have hair that has been chemically treated way too many times, so I use products for dry/damaged/color-treated hair.)

Terax Crema
Terax Miele Shampoo
Joico K-Pak Protect and Shine Serum Reconstructor
Framesi Hair Masque (it's so great!)
Redken All Soft Hair Masque
Redken All Soft Shampoo
Alterna Hemp Shampoo for Dry/Damaged Hair
ArTec Color Depositing Shampoos/Conditioners -- these are awesome and really boost my highlights to keep them color-true!

BTW, maybe I'm the only one, but I haven't had success with the very popular Biolage shampoo and conditioner.

1. My Hair is waist length and curly
2. A couple inches shorter than it is now is fine!

3. Color - dark auburn brown --it gives my natural brown a warmer tone

I am all about the Redken Mousse when curly and Redken Glass when straight. Been using Sebastian hair spray for like 12 years and LOVE it.

1. My hair is straight, shoulder blade length, and VERY thick.

2. I kinda go back and forth between long and chin length (never any shorter)

3. Normally my hair is medium brown, but it is now ash blonde.

So far my favorite hair product is BioSilk Silk Therapy. It makes my hair smooth, shiny, and feel like silk.

1. my hair is naturally curly, but i straighten it

2. currently it is just below my shoulders, when i first cut it(and i am due for a cut) it was just below my chin in the front, a little bit shorter in the back(kind of like jennifer aniston's when she first cut it after it was really long)

3. caramel & blonde highlights, naturally its medium brown

hair products:

currently i'm using :

Wella lifetex 'level headed' shampoo
Wella lifetex 'flash flood' conditioner
bioloage hydrating shampoo(i alternate between the two)
l'anza strait line straightening balm
biosilk silk therapy
sebastian shaper plus hairspray(on the rare occasion that i use it)
KMS molding paste(again, rare occasion that i use it)

well, i wasn't really impressed with the level headed shampoo, i didn't think it cleaned that well(unless i used A LOT)..does anyone have any suggestions for a good shampoo for color treated hair?

also - has anyone ever used tigi superstar? comments? complaints?

My hair is below the shoulder, dark brown, and slightly wavy (although it's layered which covers up the wave). I wish it was a little longer, but every time I try to grow it out, I get frustrated and cut it.

I had light brown highlights last summer but after dying it with Open (twice since then) it's finally back to its almost natural color. I usually use Clinique Shampoo and Conditioner but I also really like Origin's Orange Shampoo for stripping my hair once every couple of weeks.

LexiKD · #7 05-01-2002, 11:07 PM

1. Short...little crazy/bed head looking
2. I have always had long hair until 5 years ago and have never gone back!
3. Usually dark brown with caramel highlights, but I colored it today all caramel with blonde highlights!

dzsaigirl · #8 05-01-2002, 11:26 PM

1. Long, down to the bra-closure

Wavy, but I always blow it straight.

2. I like the length it is now.

3. I do not chemically process my hair. It is red with natural highlights.

Now I am using Aveda Shampure shampoo and conditioner and Biosilk Silk Therapy goes on my hair before I blow it out. I have used expensive hair products since birth 'cause my mom thinks that drugstore hair products make people's hair look bad. However, in a pinch I use Pantene, although I have heard that it eventually will strip your hair! D'oh!

SATX*APhi · #9 05-02-2002, 12:45 AM

1. About an inch past my shoulders; Wavy, but I difuse/blow-dry it curly

2. My current length plus or minus an inch

3. I keep my original color: dark brown

But I have green eyes, so I think keeping my hair its original color brings out my eyes. However, I could be wrong. This is what I "think"

Peaches-n-Cream · #10 05-02-2002, 01:07 AM

My hair is bra strap length.

I like this length. If it grows longer it looks stringy and messy.
I have wavy to curly red to auburn hair. It depends on the weather and the time of year. I don't color my hair. I just wash and condition it and let it dry naturally.

IowaHawkeye · #11 05-02-2002, 01:22 AM

this is the most current picture of my hair - from about 2 weeks ago...

haha, as you can see from the roots and my eyebrows - this blonde is not my natural hair color - its more of a ash/dark blonde - i do however get highlights and lowlights (which i'm due for very soon!) to keep it this color, which suits me i think!

i do like the length that it is now, which is shoulder length - though i am trying to grow my hair out longer - like middle of my back long, we'll see how long that phase lasts though

i use biolage shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair and sebastian control top gel to keep my hair sleek and smooth

bruinaphi · #12 05-02-2002, 01:28 AM

1. My hair is bra strap length.
2. It is usually a little shorter than it is now but I've been growing it out to the length it was in high school and I love it!
3. The big debate is whether I have light brown or dark blonde hair. I color/highlight it b/c my hair doesn't hold its natural color and turns white at the ends (really unattractive two-tone look).

My favorite products:

ArtTex Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner for every day
Biosilk Silk therapy when I straighten or wear wavy
Joico Resolve Chelating Shampoo (for deep cleaning)
Loreal Nature's Therapy Mega Moisture for deep conditioning (part of the European line -- it's amazing!)
Sebastin Hair Spray all the way!

PS: Newbie -- I can't stand biolage products either!

1. shoulder length
2. whispy layers that flip out,very thick
3. blondish/light brown depending on time of year
4. got subtle blond highlights over spring break
5. when I am home my mom buys me the good shampoos and conditioners, but here at school I go cheap with Herbal Essences clarifying.
6. my hair is somewhat wavy and has many weird callocks(sp?) that give me fits so I use bed head straightening serum and molding wax on the ends.

I am thinking about going for a new style, but haven't decided what to do yet. I have trouble with lots of styles because my hair is so thick so I will see what my hair stylist suggests when I am home.

juniorgrrl · #14 05-02-2002, 09:34 AM

1. Chin length, undercut layers, straight
2. I love this length - my hair is so incredibly thick, that its trouble to take care of
3. My hair is naturally medium brown, but I put subtle blonde hightlights in it to give it an overall lighter look
