Really different

2nd time at hairdressers - I had a trim in October

it's only hair
it will grow

just had mine cropped & i love it

Im sure it will all be fine. I am having my hair done Wed night and im scared mainly cos im getting it coloured blue/black!

That sounds dramatic

In nov I got my hair highlighted from brown to blonde and cut from long to shoulder it was a huge change but it good to have a whole new look sometimes, try not to worry its not for ever and you might love it

i haven't picked a style yet either

Tempt me with hair styles

I have brown curly hair

Awww go on

My hair is curly but I ahd it cut to shoulder lengh and I got some hair straightners its different but I like it. Go for something really different it might give you a sping in your step

Thanks

I'm still worried.......

Hi - I started having my hair dyed a year ago - to hide the greys. Had highlights at first, but my hair is so dry I think the extra peroxide/chemicals in the highlights just stripped my hair, so nice colour but awful condition.

Had reddish lowlights at christmas and looks much much better.

Also had my hair cut really short a week ago - hair is brown and curly/frizzy, I always dream of long flowing curly locks, but it's never going to look like that!

were some tips on thread I started in January www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=2350&threadid=457384#9248721here

bummer - preview link next time!

Glad you're happy with it - I'm just getting more nervous

sounds exciting - go for it !!

any of these styles tempt you?

I had mine done last week a bit like the first one but not quite as blonde, it's 2 tone warm brown and blonde, so quite natural. I have to use the straighteners as it's got so many layers in it that if I don't it goes a bit bouffant!

go for it - I love mine - and so do my A level group!

Maybe?

Now it's massive second thoughts - Think I like it as it is now

oh no go for it! It'll make you feel great - I bet you washed it this morning and it looked great didn't it? always does the day before you have it cut!

No I washed it on Monday morning

It really looks nice - just a trim & maybe a bit of colour?

Maybe have the changes done in stages. Have it cut first then get it coloured the next week or the other way round. I have think curly hair but straighten it alot. I'm thinking you will definitely need layers as mine works best with layers.

Take the time at the beginning of the app to talk to the hairdresser. Get them to tell you what they think will work best with your hair. Agree on something together, that way they will know you are feeling a bit tentative about it and they will take the time to think about the best style for you and listen to you!!

I do wonder if it has grown past that awkward stage & is now looking lovely (iyswim)

Haven't read whole post, but I would say this - go for it!

UNLESS YOU ARE PREGNANT - THEN DON'T DO IT!!! Sorry, didn't mean to yell. I made very poor hairdressing decisions when pg and spend months looking the worst I have ever looked - which is not how you want to feel when pg or having just had a baby!

My new mantra is "no radical changes when pg!" and I am not apologising for evangelising (it was that bad!!)
