New Hair, Old Face


Well, there you go. Before and after.

It's shorter and darker than I thought it would be but it is what it is and by this time next year, it'll be back again, same as it was, only grayer.

It was funny, I looked in the mirror and I said, "This is the first hair do I've had in my entire life."

I believe this is true.


I think I look Irish now. Irish and Oldish.
The things we do for art.

    Going from light to dark hair always makes you THINK you look older, but it doesn't. It looks great, embrace your inner redhead and now your outer redhead.
    Word of warning (I'm a redhead myself at this time) - get some sulfite free shampoo to wash it in and don't use real hot water - to keep the color from fading. The cut is also great!

    DTG- You always thought your mama was a redhead, didn't you?

    Lucy- Honey, I want it to fade back to my original as soon as possible after the play. So bring on the sulfites!

    Ms. Bastard-Beloved- If you say so...

    Michele R- Mr Moon is intrigued...

    Kathleen Scott- You are the only person to comment on the new header. I really love it. Thank-you.

    Mwa- We are redheaded sisters!

    Jan- I love you. Period. The end.

    Lulumarie- I think...eighth grade? Lordy.

    Syd- That means the world to me. Thank-you, dear one.

    Angella- I was so nervous. You cannot believe.

    Radish King- Bless you, baby. I got your card. Irish chicken dinner, indeed!

    Nichol- No. YOU are pretty.

    Nigel- You sweet thing. Or should I say "thang?"

    I think it looks GOOD! Stylish -- really and not "old" at all!

    You could call yourself an artiste now, with an "e."

    I told it's wonderful, but I'll say it again.
    I hope you keep the cut , but if it doesn't feel like "you" then no doubt you won't.

    And Mary, I know you are crazy busy , and probably didn't watch the link on my last post. But I think you would really like it.
