I was growing out the gray before Covid and, even though I am not always sure I like it, still going forward. As far as cut, I was able to get one every 2 or 3 months which works out fine with my short wavy bob, thank goodness.

Love your curls short or long. I think the shorter style is more controlled-looking while the longer is more exuberant but they are both great. I'd keep going if I were you, it's a quick fix to get it cut later if you decide you don't like the length.

I have just kept my hair long, with some at-home trims, so I can easily pull it back. I do feel I am ready for a major change - bangs, and possibly a new stylist. I have been going to the same place for over 10 years as it is around the corner from my house, working my way through a couple of stylists who eventually moved on to end up with the owner.

I've been happy enough and liked the idea that he was so local, owned the building/inherited the business from his dad, and would likely never disappear on me. The flipside is that now I feel stuck!

I started following a US stylist called @jayne_edosalon who has helped me see that my cuts don't take advantage of my natural hair texture. Although anyone who looks at her account will first notice the rather dramatic trendy mullets and shags, if you dig deeper there's quite a bit of variation based on the individual features and hair type. With my stylist it's always about blow drying then maybe adding in a wave or whatever... and the cuts are fine and something I can work with, but as a very low maintenance person with decently wavy hair that grows well but is fine, I would love to have a cut that really took advantage of those features instead of fighting them.

But alas, now is not the time to cut bangs just so I can sit around the house in my PJs

I'm rather obsessed with Jayne and her cuts, and wish I had hair with movement that would work with her preferred looks. She is awesome.

Hey lisa, maybe I actually learned about her here/from you? LOL
Anyway, yeah I am not sure her prevailing styles would work for me, but I feel like she could come up with something that would! I've even been tempted to book one of her online sessions to cut your own hair. But it just makes no sense to get any kind of new style or bangs right now as they would just drive me nuts sitting on my face as I sit alone at home, unadmired
It's the entire philosophy of working with natural texture rather than blowing out that I fear my own stylist just would never be on board with.

I like your longer curls too, Carla!

I did not have a haircut or any color from February until about three weeks ago, before we left on our Airstream adventure. I only got a cut, no color. I posted about it afterwards. I’m growing out the asymmetrical short side of my hair, and it’s awkward when I pull it back in a ponytail (the growing out bits are not long enough to go into the ponytail, and long enough that they stick up around my ear unless I hairspray them, which of course is undone by any wind). But I’m glad to have had a cut to get some layers back in it and get rid of the dead ends. I loved the blue streaks I had but they have faded to the bleached base at the ends of my hair.

I now have probably 4” of natural color from the roots down — cool brown interspersed with grey. It’s...ok. Not awful, not beautiful. I’m camping now anyway, so 2.5 weeks and counting without wearing makeup or really caring much what my hair looks like. Here it is right after my recent cut plus a quick blow-dry. Left to dry on its own it is a lot wavier/curlier depending on humidity.

I’m not sure what I’ll do with it moving forward. The idea of cutting it short to get all the previously-dyed part off does not appeal to me at all. I don’t like myself in short hair. Chin length is particularly awful on me, and I never felt fab in a pixie (way back in my 20s). Shoulder length or thereabouts, with lots of layering, is the way to go for me.

The most recent cut involved long layers and a shag-like approach (photos of Sharon Van Etten were an inspo) to keep my hair from getting triangle-shaped. I love the cuts that Jayne from Edo salon does even if I wouldn’t style mine quite the way she does, since her models all tend to be young and gorgeous and have that style that makes a retro shag look current. I’d probably just look silly, and I don’t have the patience for a lot of styling anyway, so I keep it simple.

I agree for 100%. During the quarantine he tried to change his image, and so did my wife. I will not say that the experiments were very successful but as they already were. The main thing is that we did not suffer, did not think about something bad, but just enjoyed and created. (Besides, not many people saw our creation through quarantine)
