Thanks, all! So excited Taylor and Renata like it; you know when you've got their stamp of approval, it's a good one.
The color is a couple of weeks old so I didn't mention it, but my colorist is a freaking GENIUS. I love what she does with mixing up the highlights and lowlights. We went darker now that it's fall, and I am crazy about the results. I had been unhappy with the wide spectrum range of colors before -- the blond really stuck out against my more natural brown almost like tiger stripes -- and she did a great job pulling the colors closer together in range. I am considering going even darker next time! Maybe it's time to see what I look like as a brunette, since I am pretty sure it is my natural color now.
Taylor, I toyed with growing it out, but this is really the ideal length for me. With the lack of layers it doesn't feel or look like a short cut -- which is what I want -- but it's much more flattering to my square noggin. LOL!
I am going to try to take a video of me flat-wrapping so people can see how it works. But first I have to figure out how to keep the camera still while I do so!
