I wrote a couple of weeks ago about cutting the front of my hair into Bang(s)<\/a> … I hadn’t had any in a long time, but had cut some of my hair in the front a bit shorter in the past couple of years, to hang a bit higher than the longer sides\/back and frame my face some, though it didn’t work so swell, really.<\/p>\n

So I have bangs now and it is better. I’ve actually trimmed off other sections of hair a couple of times now as well. I’m nearly 6 months post-pardum and my hair is finally seemingly not “falling out” as much, and I’ve gotten the straggly lengths mostly evened up with the trimmings I’ve done.<\/p>\n

I’m thinking of getting my hair actually styled sometime in early 2008. I had grown my hair out as much as I could manage in my mid-30’s to 40. Now I’m 41 and that’s that. I want my curls to look their best. I don’t want SHORT hair, I want very feminine curly long to long-ish hair.<\/p>\n

I did use Clairol’s “Natural Instincts” hair coloring “Tweed”<\/a> [writing about it on my other blog on Nov. 19th] –which is a level 2 hair coloring (washes out in 24 “shampoos” –washes out in “washings” really, since I don’t “shampoo” unlike most people, I use the Curly Girl method of washing with conditioner only.) It made my hair a tad darker than I had wanted it to, I also did use it mostly to tone down the red in my hair, and to cover the gray hairs I have, none too many, just 1 here and there, and the little hairs along my forehead coming in light as well … moreso white than gray, really. But I didn’t want them. I’m considering still trying to go a shade or two or so lighter, and have the red totally gone, I hope, and that would be a dark ash blonde, and maybe have some lighter highlights, or whatever. I don’t know as of yet how that will go. It’ll be a maintenance thing, and that’s not something I’ve ever dealt with, keeping any style or color up at all. I’ve never had my hair colored, only have done it myself, mostly in the further past, with only this one Natural Instincts coloring in quite a few years, if not further back. My hair styles, I’ve upkept myself entirely for over 10 years, except for one haircut I had in 1998\/1999, I’m not exactly sure of the exact timing, it was while or after pregnant with my 2nd child. My hair was awful, the curl flopped tremendously, and my hair was just terrible compared to anytime previously or since. (That pregnancy was the only girl I’ve had — which seems to be something, as I had 1 boy before that and 2 more boys since the girl, and my hair was great during pregnancies with male babies.)<\/p>\n
