The Hair Thread For Girls

[Sojourner]

... post away!!




I'll start.

I have reddish blondish brownish straight hair, and I'm in the process of growing it out. I'm liking having it a little longer -- it's just about shoulder length now, and I can pretty easily put all of it into a ponytail, although it slips out often. Before this, it was short for many years. I cut it my freshman year in college (10 years ago) and have kept it short for the most part since then.

I don't do much to it, other than wash and dry it every day. I think that's mainly because I would rather sleep in than spend a ton of time with my hair.

Hair likes: I like the color, and I like the texture (although it's kind've difficult to bend it to my will)

Hair dislikes: It's in my eyes all the time.

She asks me why...I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night; Hair that's a fright.
I'm hairy high and low,
Don't ask me why; don't know!
It's not for lack of bread
Like the Grateful Dead; darling

Gimme a head with hair, long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there, hair!
Shoulder length, longer (hair!)
Here baby, there mama, Everywhere daddy daddy

CHORUS:
Hair! (hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair)
Flow it, Show it;
Long as God can grow it, My Hair!

Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas, a hive for bees
A nest for birds, there ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder of my

CHORUS

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy, shining
Gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted; Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled and spaghettied!

O-oh, Say can you see; my eyes if you can,
Then my hair's too short!
Down to here, down to there,
Down to where, down to there;
It stops by itself!
doo doo doo doo doot-doot doo doo doot

They'll be ga-ga at the go-go
when they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond, brilliantined, Biblical hair
My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son
Why don't my Mother love me?

Raph, I appreciate your ode to hair, but (as far as I know) you're not a girl. Unless you have something you'd like to share with us?

You're welcome to start a hair thread for guys, if you like.

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

i have red curly hair. i get blond highlights in the front (not too many); past my shoulders. i'm currently growing it out, even though my hubby hates long hair. i haven't had long hair since high school, when i cut it short after graduation. that's almost been ten years.

hair likes: i love the color and the length.

hair dislikes: it's frizzy and hard to control.

[Ash Wednesday]

I have very thick hair. Sometimes it drives me crazy, but in general I'm okay with it.

The issue I have now is color. I had really pale, blonde hair as a child, and I guess now it's still blonde, but a somewhat ash blonde (no pun intended), though it does have some red highlights.
I foil it to get it a lighter, medium golden blonde.

I'm thinking of going more red, with some blonde streaks. I think that would look cool. But I'm saving money for the foil.

The sad thing is, I foil to hide grey as much as anything. Again I'm ash blondish so it just looks like a frost job, but still. Argh! At the age of 28.....

[Lil Red]

go red. it's the best color.

[StColette]

hehe okay I'll contribute to this thread lol

I have very very dark brown hair, practically jet black, and it has natural dark red highlights in it from the sun and such. My hair is naturally curly, spiral curls to be exact lol, but I normally straighten my hair. I blow dry it and use the curling iron to make it straighter ummm what else lol. It's pretty long almost mid back now. If I don't feel like going through the trouble of fixing my hair, which happens often, lol I pull it up in a pony tail or I'll french braid it. anywho lol that's my hair lol

[zwergel88]

My hair is just brown, long, and straight, there isn't much more to it. It won't curl at all, which makes me sad.

[rachael]

i currently have straight dark brown hair down to my shoulders. the color changes every couple of months. i probably have the thinnest hair alive.

I have pretty pink curls on my motherboard, but I have a bald spot on my transistors because the hair caught fire when I was just a little Googlebot.

[IcePrincessKRS]

I have short curly brown hair. I like to cut and dye it. I don't like trying to grow it out because I get frustrated with the blasted "triangle head" and then chop it all off. It hasn't gotten past my shoulders since I was a freshman in college and I graduated 2 years ago.

[voiciblanche]

I bet I have thinner hair than you, Rachael.

My hair is terribly, terribly thin. It's a dirty blonde, pretty much... closer to blonde than brown. Hmm... right now it's about two inches from my shoulders. It's very straight, and very thin. And very boring.

Likes: length, style when I manage to style it

Dislikes: lack of volume, the fact that it's a darker blonde

I have blonde curls. At least they used to be curls when I was little, now it's just wavy. Yeah, so it's blonde (that sun type of blonde you see on surfers...it gets natural highlights when i go to the beach or am in the sun and everyone thinks I dye it or something ) wavy, past the shoulder-length hair (about down to the middle upper arm, make any sense?

I am impatient with my hair, I just janks the knots out with a brush and put it in a pony tail, or in clips or in a headband or just let it go down my shoulders

My friends are so obsessed. The other day I called my ffiend to go to the movies and it was 1 pm and the movie was at 5, and she said "WHAT?!?!? Why didn;t you tell me? I don't have time to fix my hair!!!!"



Takes me three minutes at most to "fix" my hair.

Oh well.

If you ever see a girl with wind-blown hair all over the place, that'd be me

Ditto just about everything Soj said except the color... mine's dark brown. I get red highlights when I'm outside enough. It's ponytail lenth now... but sometime soon... it's going... it's always in my eyes.

Sadly, if you look at my senior picture ('86), my wedding picture ('91), our first family photo ('96) and my current hair it's pretty much identical.... I have had lots of different hairstyles in between (even some bad perms... :ph34r: ) but I always come back to the same basic boring old bob...

[VeraMaria]

I don't especially love my hair...it's stubborn but I guess I'm lucky because everyone envies me because my hair is silky and wavy but not frizzy...still, it would be easier if we were all bald

JK!!! :ph34r:

Sojourner is a girl? All this time...

My hair . . . is weird.

It's red, but I can never say exactly how it looks. It depends on the light. My hair isn't even all one color . . . it's got dark red strands, light red strands, and strawberry-blonde strands. In the summer time it can get very light and there are blondish-red highlights. But in the winter, it can get so dark that it looks brown.

It's very straight and thick (so thick it gets hard to manage) and it's currently short, just past my shoulders.

Me too, Vera. I don't like fussing with it, lol.
