Hair Growth & Trim:16 months in

I had my hair trimmed two days ago. There are very few layers now, and my super short pixie fringe is down to my chin! The back is wedged a little for shape.

My hair stylist flat ironed my hair VERY straight - just for fun and a change

Today I'm wearing it wavy. A little more romantic!

100% my natural colour.

I am FINALLY feeling good about my hair now that my fringe is long, and the stepped layers are disappearing! I am used to having perfectly styled and regimented pixie hair that does not move. Waves are harder because they are free, rebellious, and do their own thing. In the Seattle wind and rain because I'm on foot a lot - it's a challenge! I am learning to embrace my hair's free spirit.

I have three more inches to go. Need more length in front than in the back. Super Modern Retro with a playful edge is the goal. Should take me to December.

Hubs Greg LOVES it, and tells me over and over again. I think Greg fears I will cut it all off! He met me with hair like this - so I suspect it's nostalgic. Plus Greg likes the change.

Getting there with a LOT of patience. Thanks for looking. xo

It looks really, really beautiful! Of course I love the waves, but straightened is really fab too. Now the added length will just be icing on the cake, IYKWIM, since the basic shape is finally approximately where you want it to be. It looks really great with your specs too! Yes, having lots of movement and waves is different than the "regimented" pixie you used to sport--I can relate :). I always have to remember to check my hair when I come in from outside, because it's possible that it's totally wacky and askew from the elements, lol. Free spirited hair always keeps you on your toes!

I can see why Greg loves it, for the nostalgia but also because it looks so smashing on you! (Not that your pixie didn't also look smashing!) I continue to be amazed at your natural blonde color!

Oh, Jonesy! Such sweet and kind words as always. Supportive, encouraging, and amusing. Thank you for taking the time to express them.

Your GORGEOUS wild and thick curls are such a signature part of your style. I can't imagine you without them! They are stunning and you manage them soooo well.

YES - the shape I wanted is finally there. It's smooth sailing from now on. My word - that took a LOOOOONG time!

Tanya

It looks gorgeous both wavy and straight. I am completely with Greg here.

Irina

Gorgeous, Angie! Change is good for all of us.

MsMary

I love it! You look fab!

Runcarla

Very pretty, and versatile. It’s fun to be able to be able to wear it either straight or wavy/curly, and look fab either way!

Kate

Love the waves!

Indigoprint

I love it. If I can be so forward to say "rebellious" seems to suit you in your fashion footprint.
You do what suits you. (and you do it well).

anne

Looking gorgeous Angie!

Thanks, LJP! Appreciate the gracious complement.

Thanks Rachy, Mary and Kate. Fab to see you chime in

Carla, YES. I'm enjoying the versatilely! I might put a scarf in like you too....

Anne, nice to see you here! Miss you.

Indigoprint, you can absolutely be forward! I enjoyed your observation, and thanks for the compliment

So beautiful! Enviable hair. Beyond color, do you think the new 'do has affected at all the styles/cuts of clothing you want to wear?

Anonymous

Love it wavy especially!

Thanks, Suntiger! You have been very supportive of my longer hair

DonnaF, not so far! Just the colour has made me wear oatmeal, a peach toffee, and saturated beiges well. Styles and cuts of clothing are just the same.

ophelia

Whoa, stunning! LOVE the waves! And women pay big bucks to get that color! You appear to have no gray, so I hope you enjoy that fab color until you make the next choice.

Jessikams

The color is unusual and very pretty!

Janet

Angie, I love it too! You look beautiful with any hair style, lucky you, but I love how this frames your face, and the color is so soft and lovely.

Ophelia, YES! No grey yet! Unsure when that will start. I turn 53 in July.

Jessikams, I'm enjoying my natural colour! That part is very easy now. I have 35 min appointments at the salon every 3 months.

Janet, that is high praise! Thank you so much

Bonnie

Your hair looks lovely straight and wavy. Your patience has paid off. You are a lucky duck with such a perfect natural color.

ChristelJ

Goodness, you are glowing! Love your hair both ways, and love that you are embracing your hair's free spirit.

Aquamarine

So pretty! I LOVE the waves!

slim cat

Just wonderful! Love it both ways ( secretly prefer waves ).
Beautiful results with a lot of patience.

Jaime

Absolutely beautiful! Although I always love your waves, I can appreciate the modern retro glam of the straightened version on you as well. I hear you about the wind - that is part of the fun .

Suz

Stunning, Angie! I love it both ways, but I think especially with the natural waves, and that's probably convenient since in the Seattle weather, they will appear regardless a lot of the time! The colour is so warm and rich (lucky you!!!) and it's beautiful with your eyes and your specs.

Anyway, it's great you can wear it in different styles -- so fun! And the extra length will be lovely. Your patience is paying off!

Star

Just WOW! Style and colour. It looks equally fab straight and wavy.
