Wow you guys are so high maintenance with your hairs! Well not bleachy obviously.

I guess I can't complain about my sad looking hair since I don't actually do anything to rectify the situation.

Haha. Funnily enough my username comes from the fact that I used to do all crazy things with my hair as a teen. When I made my first email I had just bleached my hair. I used to do all kinds of crazy fudge colours. I've had undercut, Mohawk, all kinds of things.

What an interesting discussion - always good to know the best way to manage our locks.

I had my first hair trim in 2.5 years today! Pretty slack eh? I am trying to see how long I can grow it!

I wash and deep condition once a week. I put in leave in conditioner and sometimes use Oil of Marrakesh.

I had coloured my hair, since I was 14. It was costing me $150 every 4 weeks in the end and all I was doing was making my greys a yellow blonde! Anyway, I am natural now and I am lucky to have grey hair that is like platinum blonde - very fine, but a lot of it!

Oil of Marrakech 'ey. I know a few people who swear by argan oil but I found it didn't really do much for my hair to justify the expense. I don't know if maybe it's better suited for finer hair.

I get my hair dyed once or twice a year. My natural colour is ash blonde and the regrowth just blends really well with the white ish blonde foils.
When I get older and start to go grey I am going to embrace it.

Yes I'm similar. The regrowth doesn't blend quite so well for me, but I have pretty decent lee way with my time between dying. I kind if assumed that low lights would blend better but the regrowth honestly looked white in comparison.

Good Girl!
Once I decided to go dark, many years ago - The light regrowth was the WORST, although the dark hair colour suited me ....... sometimes I used to buy marcara to cover it lol

HAHA.... once upon a time I dyed my hair black/brown and the re growth was HORRIBLE. Just like you it kind of suited me tho, but I'll never go back to black because it took so long to strip all the dark colour out, nearly killed my hair.

Anyone remember a product called Sun- In? It is a spray that would lighten your hair if you applied heat to it, like a hair dryer or if you sat out in the sun.

I've seen that argan oil stuff at Aldi. Didn't seem too expensive there. Lol.[DOUBLEPOST=1429445635][/DOUBLEPOST]

The colour I'm considering dyeing my hair is grey, actually. Grey is a lovely colour, I think, and I really don't think I'll mind it when I go naturally grey either.

My friend dyed her hair this really fabulous shade of grey and it looks SO good. I'm just not game enough.

Haha oh really? Well I take it back.

I actually fantasise about getting an undercut, but I would never and could never.

Yes that's right. I'd use it when I was the beach and then my sister started doing it and she has beautiful dark hair and it just gave her orange patches in her hair.[DOUBLEPOST=1429445764][/DOUBLEPOST]

That was many years ago.

Nowadays I don't do anything. Try and avoid haircuts as long as I can.

Grey hair is so hot right now.



For real?! Either it mustn't be pure argan oil or it's really come down in price since I used it.

Aldi seem to be able to do quality stuff at a decent price point. I can't vouch for the quality of their argan oil tho.
