Disregard my question. I talked with several beauticians & each one said I should get a 1-inch.

I've had two bad haircuts in my lifetime - 3rd and 12th grades. Both times, stylist took my long hair and I was left looking like a boy. I asked for it the first time, but not the last. Then, I skipped school and got suspended for three days. I still got to go to DisneyWorld with my BF's and his family for Spring Break, so all was not lost. I will never have short hair again. As you can see, it's comical (or frightening?!) how similar my kindergarten and senior hairstyles look. Rest assured there were long, straight looks in between (remember the 70s). I tried to grow it out recently but it ends up too flat. No matter how hard I try to make it a bit poofy with my round brush (I despise hair gels and sprays). I started getting gray hair when I was a senior in HS, and like the above poster I go every three weeks for a slight trim and color. Recently I asked her to start making it lighter since my roots were showing up so bad (at 3 weeks!!!!). I'm not even 55 yet, so I am not ready to go gray... she tells me (I won't look) that I am easily 80% gray - I think she's being generous!). So while I still feel like a brunette, I am slowing becoming more blonde. :( The photo on the right was taken before we went a tad lighter. My hair does not want to hold color. It is very frustrating! I come out one color and easily have 5 shades between visits. I'd love to do something different, but nothing drastic. I still want to be able to pull it back and leave long enough to keep my neck warm. *edited to remove photo This post was edited by allison0704 on Sun, Nov 16, 14 at 14:16

yes there are you have to upload a picture of yourself, I have used them, but I don't recall the site. I probably found it by googling. Here are a few I found Try on the hottest celebrity hair Upload your photo hairstyles Try A Hairstyle Virtual Haircut & Makeover that one is a good housekeeping one here is a google search for you to go through hairstyle try-on tool just be careful some are not free, I did the search asking for free but you know some might sneak in.

I bought a Conair, probably at Target. It has 1,000 watts. I use mine with dry hair in the am. You can detach the brush part and use as a hair dryer but it's not very strong. I usually flip my head down and use hair spray. Then I flip my head back and do the hot air brush in sections. Then spray again when done. I'm not one who likes to spend a lot of time on hair and makeup. I do my hair in just a few minutes. It doesn't look like I just came from the salon but it looks fine....just wish I could get and keep a little height at the crown. Mtn....thanks for sharing your brush. Looks like it might be easier to use than mine since the brush part is not so wide. I may give it a try.
