Suntiger - we were away for these photos!!  (remember going away for the night!!) Hereforthecake- thanks, my hair is wavey and I like some natural movement.  It can easily go to messy though. Stylefan - yes I like that too. I went through some more photos last night and it became evident to me where my hair can go wrong, it can look dishevelled very easily.  And when it is long, it doesn't feel like me.  I feel myself when it is off my shoulders and a bit lighter (I think my short neck contributes to that feeling too) hereforthecake on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114464 Thu, 16 Apr 2020 18:18:25 +0000 hereforthecake 2114464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your hair in all of these looks, but 5 & 6 are my faves. You've got such nice texture!

Sal on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114244 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 20:26:37 +0000 Sal 2114244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you!  Sorry there was a bit of cross posting. Carol, Lyn, Brooklyn, Nemosmum, Shevia and Kelly - thanks, I think 1-3 is where I will go back to.  It is not that 5 is a bad look - it just does not suit me!!  Every now and then I am drawn to the linen shirt with jeans but somehow through the years it has never really worked on me. Rachy - I agree totally!! Bijou - yes me too.  The bob can be a bit hard when running or at the gym - but I can wear a headband.  That was the reason I grew it a bit last year for training for the half marathon..... TG - thanks!!  I love the pink shade but the jacket feels the wrong shape on me now.  It is still in my holding zone I think because I do love the colour but I think I should pass it on this spring. Kkards - I didn't realise how short it was until I went back.  I probably won't go this short again until I am a bit greyer because of the colouring issues (it gets very two toned with dark at the nape). Fashintern - I quite like it long but it gets a bit uncontrollable and I always tie it up... I am not sure when the hairdressers will open again here - my guess is in about three weeks time (NZ went into a hard lockdown early with very very few shops and businesses open and no schools but will probably ease back some things in 1-3 weeks).

I really like #5, and #9 although is maybe not the sihouette 'of the moment', I'm sure it was when the photo was taken and it looks really good imo! Love the pink. I think #2 is a fab hairstyle for you. lyn67 on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114155 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 12:00:13 +0000 lyn67 2114155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Cannot pick a fave, maybe the nr 2,3 and 7? Nr 1 and 11 are glamorous, too! nemosmom on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114154 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 12:00:03 +0000 nemosmom 2114154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So fun to see your changes over the years, Sal! kkards on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114151 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 11:19:39 +0000 kkards 2114151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Somehow I’d missed that your hair had grown so much!

But really, I like your hair in your last couple posts. You could keep it long to keep you warm this winter, then cut it (or have it cut, assuming we can venture out by then) this spring. That had been my plan until lockdown. rachylou on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114122 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 06:21:05 +0000 rachylou 2114122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gee, I rather like all, hair and outfits, except, yes, 4. I find it strangely unsophisticated... it should be, but I don’t think it is...

Making a change will be something to look forward to at the end of lockdown.

I like your hair best in the first three - not too long, not too short.  Bijou on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114099 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 02:53:01 +0000 Bijou 2114099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So interesting to see the changes you have made. #2 is soo fab and my favourite on you. The longer hair in 10 and 11 is beautiful too, but when my hair is at that length the temptation to constantly wear it in a ponytail happens. Your hair sits beautifully in a bob. Sal on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114091 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 02:30:36 +0000 Sal 2114091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Haha Angie.  3 is pretty but it is fresh from the blowdryer.  I could stay long but it is hard to maintain. Thanks Robin and Slimcat.  I like a bob as long as it is either above or below my jaw.  I have a wide square face and I like to soften it a bit. I have thick healthy hair that is oily.  So getting highlights actually helps me.  I am natural dark mouse blonde - I do have the very odd grey hair but genetically my family are slow to grey (My Dad was only really grey after 70).  I have experimented with colours from platinum to warm brunette and my natural colour.  I find my natural colour a bit dull on me and like to be in the warm dark dirty blonde area but often end up a bit lighter than I want to be with our harsh sun and colour washing out.

How FUN, Sal! I love it all. Super way of changing up your look.  Faves: The Pretty Chic of #3, the '80s Chic of #5, and the '70s Chic of #11. You have the most important decades covered :)  RobinF on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114075 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:23:52 +0000 RobinF 2114075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look great in a bob haircut! I do love #2, can’t wait to see it on you! slim cat on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114074 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:22:58 +0000 slim cat 2114074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fab hairdo in #1-2 however I like your hair long as well like #10. You have strong and healthy hair - you can choose different length/shapes to suit your mood.

Thanks Becky - I like that too - I remember that one, fresh from the stylist!!   kellygirl on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114065 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:02:02 +0000 kellygirl 2114065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Agreeing with Sharan. 5 is my every day look these days. The crossbody could be a bit longer maybe but other than that it looks pretty darn good. Love the hair in 1,2,3 the best. I think it's so glamorous in a non-fussy way. Gorgeous! CarolS on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114063 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 01:01:51 +0000 CarolS 2114063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your hair looks particularly great in 1, 2 and 3 -- and I quite like the wild locks in #11! Fun to see your past looks.

It's simple but looks like a classic casual outfit. </div><div>I agree the slight layering in pic 2 looks really good, and could be fun to go back to. </div> Becky on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114055 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:45:25 +0000 Becky 2114055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your hair in #3! I think it's my favorite style of those you've shown here. Sal on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114053 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:38:45 +0000 Sal 2114053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks MsMaven and Suz.  1 was last year (August) - a friend's birthday dinner.  I do like that too. I like 8 too - the jacket was a lot of fun for a few years but I did pass it on last year because it felt time.  The others are not good but fun to see - examples of when I head in the wrong style direction. Suz on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114049 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:28:54 +0000 Suz 2114049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You always look great, Sal, but #1 is killer fantastic. And I really like the layers in #2.  I remember#8! It still looks good on you! Sometimes I love an outfit because of how it makes me feel -- somehow it is freeing or a step toward a new style direction.  I think the sneakers and the vivid green were a nod to where you wanted to go and made you feel ready for action.  MsMaven on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114040 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 00:00:50 +0000 MsMaven 2114040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look gorgeous and glamorous in #1. I keep going to that one. Maybe its the outfit you're wearing. It looks like it's just a bit longer than #2.  It's fun to experiment along the way!  Sal on "Hair....... through the YLF era Hits and Misses....." https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-through-the-ylf-era-hits-and-misses#post-2114033 Tue, 14 Apr 2020 23:31:16 +0000 Sal 2114033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ One of my lockdown tasks is sorting out my photos.  It has been entertaining to see some good and bad YLF selfies taken.  And a range of haircuts.... The last two pics are the most recent.  Pic 4 was at it's shortest and I do not like it one bit (I was being a little bit silly with the styling) And pic 5 has to be my worst WIW ever.....what was I thinking?  This shirt became a gardening/painting shirt very soon after.  Pic 9 is also not great is it - hair and clothes.  Pic 8 I remember loving at the time but I no longer have any of the items shown. I think I will head back to something like photo 2 - layers that are a bit shorter around my face rather than being too blunt.   Sorry the order of photos is a bit chaotic!!
