I also had an ugly layered cut and I had to get most of it cut off to fix it. <br /><br />For the last three years, I have a wonderful stylist who is amazing with cut and color!

When I was first learning to do vintage styles about 10 years ago, I had a tough time trying to get my hair to do what I wanted and it seemed like styling took loo long. But once I got the hang of things after a lot of practice, it's pretty much a breeze nowadays (but some days are better than others). All a I need is a rat tail comb, hairspray, and some bobby pins!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-23535043456362993372010-10-01T14:29:14.908-07:002010-10-01T14:29:14.908-07:00Oh my gosh, I just love your hair style.

But if you want to have a touch of red in your hair, you can get some red highlights which area less damaging option than all-over color.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-20351001543353651702010-10-01T14:25:11.845-07:002010-10-01T14:25:11.845-07:00Straight Talking Mama,
Thank you for the complime...Straight Talking Mama,<br /><br />Thank you for the compliment! I think your hair color looks wonderful too! It is very pretty! <br /><br />Aveda color shampoo in Madder Root, not washing every day (and using dry shampoos), and using sulfate-free, color-safe shampoos are a must for preserving color. Most shampoos contain sodium laureth sulfates which strip color badly. Even so-called "color safe" formulas have it! Not cool! Pureology is the best but it is so expensive! Tigi Bed Head's SuperStar is a wonderful color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo and I use it with good results. It is cheaper than Pureology too.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-86776963107810245492010-10-01T14:20:02.205-07:002010-10-01T14:20:02.205-07:00Thank you, Jitterbugdoll!Thank you, Jitterbugdoll!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-86128251079830537202010-10-01T14:13:15.245-07:002010-10-01T14:13:15.245-07:00Melzaelf,

They frame your face so beautifully! <br /><br />I loved having my hair colored black but since my natural color is so light, my roots came in fast! I also liked the stark contrast between my hair and skin. I am super pale and my mom thought the black was too much but I loved it! lol<br /><br />Despite all the colors I have had over the years, I always go back to black!<br /><br />And yes, frogs rule!

It fades so fast.. I totally love it when its just dyed but in no time at all its fades. Now Black I love also but I have very fair skin so I think sometimes it may wash me out a little. Unless I do it right at the end of summer when I am still sporting a tan. I didn't get that dark this summer so hrmm. But Whatever I mean I like black hair so much I figure who cares IF I LOOK LIKE A PALE FACE! *lol* I guess I don't have anyone to impress anyways. My man always loves my hair any way it is apparently. lol<br /><br />P.S. I replied to your comment on my blog.

I was like golden, copper penny when I was 5 and I got into my teen years, my hair became more strawberry blond/light auburn. <br /><br />As for color fade, Aveda color shampoo in Madder Root really helps. The conditioner is great too but if I use it too often my hair feels coated. I use the Aveda duo twice a week and they help the color last longer. I also stay away from Sulfite ingredients since they strip color badly. And like you said, hair scarves and dry shampoo are good too!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18374686921796483382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7252080759994565579.post-16291532302840486162010-09-30T15:49:26.039-07:002010-09-30T15:49:26.039-07:00Shrinky Inky,

My advise is try and not wash it so often as the colour fades really quickly.
