Tell me about your hair.

Amen to that. I think Britney had something to do with it too. I don’t even blow dry my hair, it’s wash and wear. I haven’t used hairspray since the early 90’s.

My hair is short and unruly, and such a dark brown that it may as well be black. Up until mid-June, it was past my shoulders and hot as hell.

Long, very thick, wavy underneath and very straight in the front. Right now it comes to my mid-back, though I have had it as long as my butt. Because it’s so thick and heavy, when it gets that long I get headaches when I put it in a ponytail, so I don’t usually grow it that long. I’ve never had my hair shorter than about an inch below shoulder length. I wear it in braids or at least the front pulled back all the time, because I don’t like having hair in my face. No bangs. It usually parts in the middle, but I don’t do anything to part it. I don’t blow dry it or put stuff in it other than shampoo (and conditioner maybe once a week, it’s really oily).

Color is kind of hard to describe. Inside, it looks a medium brown. I have blond parts that grow in in the front that in the summer look bleached or unnatural, but they’re all me. There’s a lot of red and blonde in the rest of my hair, so in the sun my hair looks like dark honey.

My hair used to be even thicker than it is now, but after I went to Europe four years ago, when I came back about a third of it fell out. It hasn’t all grown back in to the length of the rest of the hair yet, so the hair closer to my head is thicker than the ends. My braid (if I braid my hair in one braid) goes from about 3 inches to one inch, top to bottom.

I like my hair. I’ve put henna on it before, but it’s so healthy that it doesn’t really take color very well. Even permanent hair dye lasted only about two weeks.

Tightly curly, going to gray.

Oh, you meant on my head

None. I shave it. Total skinhead, but without the politics or attitude. :smiley:

I’m so frustrated with my hair right now!

The problem is I’m trying to grow it out. The last few years I had very short, very layered hair. About 6mos ago, I decided I wanted to grow it out with only a few long layers for body. Growing out hair is the hardest thing. Right now it’s not quite to my shoulders. It’s too short to do anything with, and too long to look good as short hair. Bleah!

OTOH, I love my color! Bright red/burgundy color with chunky coppery blonde highlights.

Thick dark brown, almost black hair. Not really sure how to describe the style other than a sort of Beatle’s mop – my bangs cover most of my forehead and my sides cover half of my ears. The back’s growing a bit faster than the rest so I’m heading into quasi-mullet territory at the moment so I need to have it cut to allow everything else to catch up.

Cut short, salt and pepper, and balding.

At one time, I had it shoulder length when I was in college the first time.

Dyed red, shoulder length and layered.

Older look.

Newer look.

Light-medium golden brown with blonder highlights is the best way to describe it I guess. My hair is very weird. When I get it coloured, my hairdresser actually has to go quite dark with it, because it lightens up SO much after the first couple of weeks. (Oh yeah, if I don’t colour it, it’s probably about 1/3 grey and I’m only 34!) :frowning:

It’s always verging on frizzy, and all of the rain we’ve had here in B.C. lately hasn’t helped!

It’s wavy in some places, curly underneath, and poker straight on the crown. VERY frustrating to deal with. I try to get a fairly uniform wave all over, but it usually doesn’t work.

Right now it’s just above my shoulders, layered, and I have bangs that I’m trying to grow out, but they just don’t seem to be in agreement! I had them cut in January and they’re still not any longer, although the rest of my hair grows like a weed.

It’s crazy. But it’s mine.

I have short, dark brown hair. I’ve never been able to grow it past my shoulders, so finally I said, “Screw that,” and cut it all off. It’s 3 or 4 inches all over my head, and it curls out into layers naturally. I don’t do anything to it except wash it and let it dry, with a little product to cut down on frizziness. I used to have a streak of dark indigo-blue down the left side, which looked fabulous, but it was too much of a pain to keep it dyed dark, so I let it fade out and dyed it back to my natural color.

I’ve given up on mine. I’ve had mohawks, that 80’s skater just-really-long-bangs, and I’ve had middle of the back long. Now it’s thinning out and I’ve surrendered to the standard white dude in his 20’s scruffy kinda messy spikey thing. I’m such a sell out.

On the mention, I’ve always wanted that old time Chinese head shaved except for super long pony tail.

I have a confession to make - it really is time for me to come out of the closet. I can’t live a lie anymore.

Everyone…I have something to tell you (bear with me, this is difficult)
I have gray hair. It isn’t brown with flecks of gray anymore - it is gray. I have gray hair and I’m proud.

My hair used to be brown and at the age of about 18 I started to get a little spot of gray right in the part. It is now nearly all gray, with very little light brown left. I have gray hairs in my eyebrows, and gray hairs on my chest. Luckily, I haven’t found any, you know…down there.

My hair is very, very thick. Think of a Labrador Retriever - that’s how thick. Even on my chest, arms, and legs. I need never about going bald or getting overly cold.

But, yes…I am now “gray” on my driver’s license.

Thank you for your continued support as I come to grips with my grayness.
Anyone know where I can get a gray triangle sticker for my car?

Long dark blonde hair about 3" shy of mid-back. Kind of wavy, but I usually straighten it or put it up in either a french braid or ponytail. I started coloring it when I turned 30 because I found 8 gray hairs and freaked out. That lasted all of 1 1/2 years. I stopped coloring it about 6 months ago. So I have a little gray but I’m currently deluding myself that it just looks like highlights. It helps my self-delusion (regarding the hair) that I look much younger than I actually am.

I have shoulder length light brown hair with blonde highlights. It’s kinda thin but really shinny and extremly soft.

It’s called duct tape.

My hair’s black, going gray, straight, and just a little too long for a banker’s cut. I should probably get it cut again pretty soon; it’s on my collar in the back. I usually let it grow out until my wife starts to hyperventilate about how I’m going to get fired because of quantity and location of body hair, then I get it cut. For this same reason, I don’t bother growing a beard any more, even though I have such pale skin that, with the black beard, I have five o’clock shadow immediately after shaving with a new blade, which I think looks way hell of worse than a carefully-trimmed beard, but then agin, I’m not the one signing the paychecks, so just think “Mike Brady going gray” and that’s me.

My hair is a nice shade of medium brown with some red in it. It’s pretty wavy, quite tangly, and currently quite long, about halfway down my back–that’s about as long as it will grow. My hairstyle of the moment is to part it in the middle, roll the sides into a clip at the back of my head, and braid it all the way down. Keeps it out of the way, and I’m not even sure what it would do if I wore it down. Go all tangly and flat, I think–or very frizzy.

I’m not much good at hair, and kind of wish I knew how to do something with it. OTOH, at least I don’t have to think about it too much. I’ve always been tempted to dye it an interesting color, but I’m afraid it wouldn’t come back the same pretty red-brown, and I really love my natural haircolor.

My hair is waist length, thick, wavy, and dark brown. I have wisps in the front that defy ponytails, esp. in the humidity. This aggravates me, as does the fact that I usually need to wear it up while eating and sleeping because it gets in the way. However, I have a big cowlick on the top of my head that really sticks up if my hair is short, so I need to keep it long. Also, I get lots of compliments on it when I wear it down, plus it requires no special care besides shampoo and conditioner. I now use ThermaSilk spray-in conditioner to combat split ends.

I have a patch of gray coming in behind my left ear. Nowhere else. Weird.

Very dark brown with natural red highlights, and slightly below my waist, because I haven’t had it trimmed since winter. Thick and wavy, and it goes frizzy in the $%&^#%^ humidity. I get the same wispy thing that Rubystreak does. No bangs.

It’s been dyed black with purple highlights, but because of my strange natural hair colour, purple doesn’t show except in summer. So I didn’t do it this year, and am unlikely to dye it until next summer. Naturally purplish hair.

I generally wear it in a ponytail or braided. When I wear it down I eat too much of it.

What a bizarre thread.

As a 35-year-old male, my hair is one of the few things I’m vain about. I’ve been told I have great hair, and I do like it. It’s light brown-blondish and I have it cut pretty short (almost spiky) and comb it forward. But the great thing is that since there’s so much of it, I can let it grow for months at a time and it still looks great, just different. When it gets long I use gel to comb it like Robert Redford in the 1960s.

And now I feel incredibly stupid for typing all that.
