Very flattering on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952994 Mon, 03 Sep 2018 17:28:44 +0000 KnittingGene 1952994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, I agree with everyone that you look great in both styles. But as someone with similar hair, straightening always makes me think of drying and frizzing (in the future). Your curls in number one are amazing and I look forward to seeing you as it grows.</p> <p>Thanks for the info about the product. I love my shampoo but feel like I might benefit from a curly hair specific styling product. I’m going to give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952943 Mon, 03 Sep 2018 12:46:26 +0000 Preppy Pear 1952943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look fantastic - but as someone with super-straight hair of a similar length, I am really drawn to your beautiful curls. Your hair dries like that? Dang. So playful and chic. The straight is lovely, too, though, and it’s nice to have a dramatically different option with short hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952940 Mon, 03 Sep 2018 12:28:36 +0000 Karie 1952940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great both curly and straight! I’ve been letting my hair do its naturally curly thing all summer. Now that school’s starting (tomorrow! Ugh) I am not sure how I’ll be wearing it for fall / winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952862 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 19:50:02 +0000 Anonymous 1952862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RUNCARLA- I know we have spoken in past about similar hair. But I have to say that your hair takes both the curl and straightener better than mine.<br /> I absolutely love you in both curly and flat ironed. I think both can serve you well if you consider each style as a “ fashion accessory “<br /> Stay the course girl </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952843 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 18:24:47 +0000 Angie 1952843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the mop of curls #1. But it’s super cute straight too. Your longer curly bob will be fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952828 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 15:35:22 +0000 lyn67 1952828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow,&nbsp; I do like your hair both weawy and straight, but what a diffrerent looks they are- you are a very&nbsp; lucky girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952737 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 03:29:56 +0000 unfrumped 1952737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p># 1 looks fantastic. Isn’t it a little different from some of your other curly do’s? The curls look super-healthy and luxurious. Is that the conditioner? And the color tones look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952736 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 03:13:54 +0000 Carla 1952736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Thanks everyone!</p> <p>Shiny - this is washed with a fairly mild standard shampoo that I buy by the gallon from a beauty supply store. I like it because it smells like almonds. Styling consists of a comb through with an Afro pick, then a bit of leave in conditioner rubbed on and raked through with my hands. I'm really liking a drugstore product from Marc Anthony called Strictly Curls Curl Envy Perfect Cream that I discovered last fall. Smells like citrus and hair feels soft (not crunchy) but frizz is tamed - even in high humidity. It is virtually impossible to maintain a straight style May through October due to humidity activating natural curl. Winter months I can manage straighter styles - but war with damage from styling tools - which in turn creates frizz - my biggest hair problem!</p> <p>The colour is my natural hair. The 'bright shocks' are what DH calls 'Polar Blonde' - in reality my white streaks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952729 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 02:40:51 +0000 shiny 1952729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my! Your #1 is my holy grail. Tell me what you do to achieve that. If I could consistently achieve that (my hair does curl about the same as yours, just so not consistently, it is probably finer than yours?) I'd ditch my blow dryer completely.&nbsp;</p> <p>What conditioner are you using? Or is it the cut?&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE everything about your hair, including the color! Love those bright shocks at the forehead.&nbsp;</p> <p>I can see why you're aiming for your inspiration length, but I also love it quite a lot at the length it is now. Enjoy the process! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952723 Sun, 02 Sep 2018 02:25:38 +0000 Jaime 1952723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it curly!

(I envy your curls!!)&nbsp; I have been letting my hair grow out from pixie for the&nbsp; almost 4 months and the sides are just at the bottoms of my ear lobes. I think I may let it grow out a bit longer, but as for now I am getting the back trimmed every 4 weeks to keep the "mullet" in check.</p> <p>Plus, I also switched to a new stylist who is half the price of the old one ($50 versus $100) and I love the cut.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952598 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 13:51:15 +0000 Katerina 1952598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such gorgeous hair, Carla! The air dried style is amazing. You look great in both styles, how fun you can change the style when you feel for it. </p> <p>My hair is very straight, so I shift between a ponytail or a bun and straight loose hair. And always the same straight fringe. Pretty low maintenance, but sometimes I get bored with it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952597 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 13:40:22 +0000 cindysmith 1952597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the new looks on you!</p> <p>I did just cut my hair, and will probably be changing it up a bit more for the cooler season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952581 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 12:28:44 +0000 Bijou 1952581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the perfect hair for this style and it looks so pretty on you. I love your natural curls best. Straight is great and looks very glam, but your natural hair is stunning. I really like the added length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952549 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 08:51:32 +0000 Jane 1952549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing that your hair does both straight and curly equally well - it looks super both ways, but I do love the curls!</p> <p>I am always up for a bit of a change or shift with my hair, or I am now that I have The Perfect Hairdresser For Me! It is a trust issue for me! Last time, I had a &nbsp;very small flash of red put in one side, which I might do again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952547 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 08:45:51 +0000 rachylou 1952547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect inspo! I like the straight hair tucked behind one ear, as well as your natural curly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952527 Sat, 01 Sep 2018 05:56:29 +0000 karen13 1952527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both looks. So fun that you can straighten it for such a different style. Like Lisa p, I’m tempted to grow my pixie a bit for something different, but I do still really like it short. I’m going on a cruise in the fall, so maybe I will try to let it grow until then and see what my stylist can do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952476 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 22:57:20 +0000 Janet 1952476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great! I like it straightened too — still lots of body and shape. </p> <p>I have an appointment in a little less than two weeks. I’m kinda jonesing for something new, but I have no idea what. I know I don’t want short. I like the asymmetry but I’ve had it a while now. And I like the splashes of color, but they’re totally faded now, and I liked the old teal/blue peacock tones better than the last blue/purple color scheme. </p> <p>It doesn’t help that I’ve been doing minimal styling of my hair, which means summer humidity just renders it wavy and frizzy and I feel like it loses its style. Hmm, I dunno what to do with it. I welcome suggestions! I just know I don’t want a pixie and I don’t want a blunt bob — neither are me at this stage in my life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952465 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 22:16:31 +0000 Style Fan 1952465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the curly and the straight look on you.&nbsp; You do have great hair. &nbsp;</p> <p>I am sticking to shoulder length with long layers and bangs.&nbsp; I have learned my lesson!&nbsp; Sometimes I suggest things to my stylist and she changes it up slightly but the basic cut is the same. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952461 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 22:07:24 +0000 Anonymous 1952461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have great hair!

Love both the straight and curly looks -- glad you let your stylist experiment with the flat iron.&nbsp;</p> <p>I've been growing my hair out since mid-spring. The bob is more versatile/flexible for theatre productions, and I'm liking the softness and ease, and not having to trim constantly. Nothing particularly new for me; I go through the same pixie-bob cycle every few years. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-happiness-transitioning#post-1952452 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 21:43:43 +0000 Anonymous 1952452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks terrific both straight AND curly! &nbsp;Love this length on you.<br />Funny - I'm getting bored with mine &nbsp;- again - and am twitching a bit to find something different .

Just got my second trim since retiring in April and I'm pretty happy with the progress made. Curly hair hides a lot, but I start to look a little shaggy around 3 months, so I'm booking a trim at 12 week intervals. My goal is a curly bob and my stylist is on board. This trim brings me pretty close, but I'm thinking 1 year (September 2019) to get the overall length - specifically the bangs.</p> <p>My stylist wanted to style it straight for fun! </p> <p>#1 air dried with leave in conditioner<br /> #2/4 flat ironed<br /> #3/5 inspo - Consuelo Blocker</p> <p>Are you changing up your hair for F/W? </p>
