Do any of you know of a site that I can visit that has hairstyles? I am growing my hair out to get it cut????? I need something for fine hair that is quick and easy. Hot flashes ruin just about every "do". Also we are building a pool and I want to be able to jump in and out then do something quick and look decent. Am I expecting too much?

It costs a little bit of money (I think $15 for 6 months) but The Hair Styler.com is really neat. You can upload a picture of yourself and try on different hair colors and styles. They have literally thousands of styles! Each style says what hair type it's good for, so pay attention to that part. I have fine, medium-to sparse naturally wavy hair (thanks Mom) so many styles in magazines simply don't work for me. They also say how much maintenance is required and how to do the style every day. I think it's worth the $, IMHO (not an employee, just a happy customer). I take my pics to my hairdresser and she can replicate the looks pretty well.

JEN, first of all, you did a wonderful thing by donating your hair. My hair was shoulder length (layered) and a baseball cap was my best friend while camping. I also always have a cap to wear after taking off my motorcycle helmet (talk about a bad hair day, all smushed down, ugh.) Also nice are those hinged comb-type things, I liked pulling all my hair straight back and then clipping it at the nape of my neck. Important not to have it in my face, especially when tending to food over a fire, plus it's just annoying to constantly be brushing it out of my eyes with every breeze. Now my hair is quite a bit shorter which makes for less time drying it and styling it, much easier. I don't worry about what it looks like when we camp TOO much, after all it's nice to enjoy a break from having to blow it dry and curl it every morning, camping is like a hair vacation for me. The funny part is I'll feel like it looks terrible because I haven't done anything with it other than wash it, and my husband will say he really likes it that way! Maybe he needs glasses.... :)

Your hairstyle, and how long it takes you to style it every day

My hair is layered with bangs and falls just below my ears so I can tuck it back if I want. I wash it every 3 or 4 days. Takes 10 minutes to blow dry and curl under. Other days I just dry set it in velcro rollers before I climb in the shower to make it curl under and by the time I'm dressed it's ready to go. I've tried putting it in hot rollers and all kinds of different things but my hair has always been straight, lays flat and limp and won't hold curl so it might look done up for 30 minutes but that's it and it's back to flat and straight. I can't stand hair spray & other poofy products. judith I understand your hair concerns. I'm 56 and a few years ago mine became extremely thin. I stopped coloring, stopped drinking diet soda, started using nioxin shampoo and rogaine, eating protein bars and drinking more water. Went to the doc and tests came back fine. I wish I could say my efforts solved my problems but my hair is still thin up front and I have a lot of daily loss. I gave up on using the rogaine because it's something to be used for life and I'm not that dedicated. I'll never go back to coloring simply due to the freedom of appointments and cost savings. My hair never was shiny and ful and my nails have always been horrible. I can't tell you how many things I've tried there (biotin, lotions, polishes, etc). I can't change what I've been given. Mines not horrible. I've accepted it and moved on.

I wear my hair exactly like your first pic in color and style, Jojo. Mine is on the fine side, and pretty straight before I curl it, and I don't think a comb would stay in it for long without some help. But, I do LOVE that comb! I think a comb, flower or flowers would be lovely on your wedding day. To keep my own hair that way, I do have to use some hairspray, though. That can make freshening it up later a problem. Talk with your hairdresser about that.

Growing out a hairstyle ...

I've been looking at some photos taken when I started the transition from long to medium and then to short hair. Here it was cut in a chin-length bob, and I'm not quite sure why I didn't keep this style longer ... I guess I was just eager to go short, and of course also to get the bleach off my hair entirely. So this is when it was still quite blonde, but does show that my hair has a good deal of natural wave. I also had shorter bangs, which I don't think I want again. They drove me nuts. Lately I find I really like the look of a cute little "French" bob, but they almost always come with bangs. So I don't know if I'll go back to a style like the one above, but I'm curious how much my hair would wave without the color on it. Ah, it's ALL such an experiment, isn't it! It's strange -- I still think of myself as a blonde, as in just about as blonde as in the photo. I was born a blonde, but clearly I now have very dark blonde-to-brown hair, as you can see in the photo I first shared. It does get lighter if I'm outdoors, but being cooped up inside for most of the past few months has definitely taken me to the dark(er) side.

I am age 45 and have fine straight but alot of it. The best do's that work for me are the classic, most simple ones without alot of layers (and I have done everything over the years), LOL! I do like my hair on me a little longer, so I do the longer classic bob (almost to shoulder). This way, I don't have to spend alot of time blowing it out to shape it, I can still pull it away in a a nice bun or ponytail in a pinch. Shorter hair (unless it's really super short) on me has always required so much more work to get it right plus mousse/gel since I don't have a natural wave on my head and the first strong wind blows it everyplace.
