I have crazy hair...I love it (obviously) but get quite a lot of dirty looks and nasty comments.

Today a lady came up to me in town and said I'd "brightened up her day", which totally brightened up mine! So nice to have a nice comment Grin

Also made the 4 hours I spent braiding and installing last night worth it.

Wow, I love it and I am normally very conservative Grin So beautiful x

AnnabelKarma · 23/03/2013 12:50

They look fantastic and really suit you! Love it, such a refreshing change from barbie hair and looks!

MurderOfGoths · 23/03/2013 14:27

You're a star Grin

FarleyD · 23/03/2013 15:06

Scarlett - you and your hair are beautiful. Smile

I adore these colours and loved the shade Wookiee100 showed us. Am too old now and wish I'd had the courage a long time ago.

ScarletLady02 · 23/03/2013 15:35

Ah, you're never too old...Helen Mirren dyed her hair pink recently and she looked fucking amazing!

Tbh am fed up with middle aged dark honey blonde, follow-the-herd stuff, keep getting it foisted on me, I should go back to diy home dyes.

FarBetterNow · 23/03/2013 16:01

I love them and now I want them, but don't think I would get away with it at 58!

I am planning to go to my 'hippie' style when I retire so may be!
The felted part must be hot though in hot weather ?

notimefors · 23/03/2013 16:14

You look like Upsy Daisy or Everything's Rosie. In a good way. :)

FiteFuaite · 23/03/2013 16:20

I love it! I think you look amazing :)

LineRunnyEgg · 23/03/2013 16:25

You also have beautiful ears.

ScarletLady02 · 23/03/2013 16:37

Erm...thanks about the ears, I've never really noticed them. Grin

They're surprisingly not that hot in summer, although I do concede that the reason I have an undercut is so I can tie them up and it cools me down. Having the back of your neck bare is really cooling.

Yes - that's it - everythings Rosie :) It looks good.

I hope you have a good night tonight!

Maat · 23/03/2013 16:43

You look beautiful and your hair is brilliant Smile

I saw a young woman on the bus a couple of weeks ago that had a full head of "woolly" dreads (sorry don't know proper term) in shades of orange, white & yellow.

It made me want to cuddle her hair!

I didn't. Obviously. That would have been weird Grin

ScarletLady02 · 23/03/2013 16:57

They are very cuddly. REALLY comfy to sleep on as well.

ohforduckssake Grin

My username on t'other site (though I rarely go on there anymore) had a certain "Shakey-sperian" theme Smile

starsandunicorns · 23/03/2013 18:58

Omg your hair is fab my dd15 would love having hair like that will read back over your comments to see how hard it is

SquinkieBunnies · 23/03/2013 19:07

I think it looks lovely too I really like the colours. I normal don't like that style, probably cause my hair locs up all on it's own if I don't watch out. So I spend ages conditioning and adding oil to keep it loose. Grin

AKissIsNotAContract · 23/03/2013 19:09

I do get judged a lot, especially when out with DD. I've been told to "grow up and start dressing like a mother". I've had people think I was a druggy. I get called "hippy" quite a lot as well...but I pretty much am one so don't mind that. Plus I've been called "Predator" more times than I care to remember

You should move to Brighton, you won't get any of that crap down here :)

ouryve · 23/03/2013 19:14

They look fab, Scarlet!

MurderofGoths - Woolly Wormhead has tutorials for creating and fixing your own woollen dreads on her blog.

ScarletLady02 · 23/03/2013 19:25

Aah I know who you are Shakey Grin

I'm think OhForDUCKScake has a Friends themed name....but I might be totally wrong...

Thanks for the link Scarlet. I'll have to have a play now Smile

TroublesomeEx · 25/03/2013 10:30

Your hair's gorgeous Scarlett.

Ignore all the miserable gits who say otherwise Wink

xx

AllThatGlistens · 25/03/2013 10:38

Wow! I'm v conservative in appearance but I think your hair is absolutely stunning and totally suits you, loved the magic lady comment Grin
