The Hair is FINALLY Growing

My hair does NOT grow fast. But I’m getting there! The style I have in mind should be there by the end of the year. Enjoying all the stages is important .... and patience is a virtue.....

Just came back from a foil and trim, which I do every 6 weeks. The back has a cute ‘80s diagonal line which I can’t photograph unfortunately. The waves are natural. Anyway, it’s fun to have a hair project

I love your hair! It always looks good and this asymmetric style is really fun and modern.

Looooooove! Will you always wear it wavy now, or do you have other plans?

I think your hair looks great now! What are aiming at by the end of the year?

As long as it doesn't interfere with your yorkie driven chariot flying helmet and the Youlookfab Woman mask !

Barbara Diane, you're sweet.

Jenn, wearing it wavy is the idea, which works well in humid Seattle. My hair is drizzle-friendly and does not frizz. But I don't know what it will do at this longer length in very dry Salt lake City. It's a hair adventure

Janet, I want it fuller and longer on the long side. If it looks awful, I'll cut it off. Easy!

Cee, the specs do a good of keeping the hair out my eyes so that I can drive my Yorkie chariot.

The waves are especially beautiful echoing the curve of your cheeks.

Angie, try sea salt spray if you lose the wave in SLC. It’s my hair bff here in Colorado.

You look lovely in your longer hair length. You don't seem to be going through the awkward stage that I usually experience.

Looks fun and flirty, love it.
Mine has a natural wave too.

I always love seeing Rosie & Jasmine.
I also want your apple green tea pot!

Thanks for the kind words.

Vildy, nice observation!

Jenn, YES. Great tip.

bonnie. I went through the in-between stage last year as my fringe was growing out over my specs. Glad that's done!

Opaline, great to see you chime in. Your pink hair looks adorable. Good eye spotting our sweet girls.

Love your natural waves! It is getting quite long now . YAY!

It doesn’t take much , sometimes as little as a half inch to give a style a completely different look ! Color is spot on as well!
Carry on beautiful lady !

Cute! And Rosie and Jasmine too
If only there was a hair grow pill...
Ok there are, but seem a bit dodgy!
And I insist on seeing the yorkie chariot

Oh I love it! This is how my hair waves when it's short. What shampoo/conditioner are you using, and what schedule? Have you tried DevaCurl yet?

My last cut the hairdresser didn't cut it as short as I wanted so this past 6 weeks it hasn't been waving at all. Grr. I have another try next week. If I can put any of it in a pony tail, it's too long to curl. Do you find that's true for you as well?

It took my daughter three years to grow her hair out from buzz cut to shoulder length (that's with regular trims). Lately (since hitting the shoulder) it seems to be growing like a weed. It was the first 12-18 months that seemed to take forever!

Hah! I know that fabric...
The wavy asymmetrical look is beautiful. I love how well it works with your natural texture.

Your hair is starting to look a lot like mine!

What! I have a diagonal in the back of my hair too - which I explicitly requested last month! We need to see pictures! Looks absolutely gorgeous from the front and your skin is glowing perfection.

Beautiful!

Wow! Getting long

Your hair is gorgeous longer and wavy Angie. How do you cope with it in your face though - wasn't that a deal breaker last time? I'm trying to make hair decisions at the moment and that is a big factor!

Very cute! I like it a lot, as I am especially fond of asymmetrical styles, obviously.

Ooh, I love it and would love to see what the inspiration style looks like! It takes so much patience to grow out a style. I've been growing mine out so I can have some beachy waves--wish I had that natural curl that you have. Yours are perfect!

nemosmom

Veteran

My grow-outs NEVER look this good! Love your waves and longer fringe - it is so flattering with your face shape and frames your specs perfectly.

Minnie

You look lovely.
It looks as if your side part is fairly low, how do you keep the long side-sept bangs from falling over your face?
I wish i had wavy hair.

WOW. Thanks for the awfully kind words, ladies. I'm blushing.

Taylor, appreciate your professional opinion. YES to half an inch making a noticeable style difference when your hair is as short as mine. Thank goodness!

Suntiger, thanks for mentioning our girls, who are in their chariot in the sky.

Jennifer, I wash and style DAILY. Do not like the look and feel of day-old product in my hair. I use salon shampoo, conditioner and product. Haven’t tried deva curl - should I?

Kari, SNAP

Elizabeth, it’s high time we saw your outfits!

Jaime, YAY. Our hair style and style in general is colliding! FUN. Thanks for being THE asymmetrical short hair inspiration.

Anne, YES. Good memory. The shape of these specs do a good job of keeping my hair off my face, AND so does the wave! My hair flops to the front when it’s straight.

Kelly, you’ll look amazing with beachy waves.

Nemonsmom, you have gorgeous hair,

Janet, your asymmetrical ‘do is fabulous.

Minnie, YES. Good observation. My stylist layered the parting a LOT so that the side sweep stays over on the other side. That’s the trick.

I really like it now and can’t wait to see the end result. I miss my specks after cataract surgery and may have to get some very light sunglasses that I can wear indoors.

Looking good - and I'd love to see it from the side and back .
