To be or not to be - gray

I have straight but headful of fine, no-coloured hair. My cut has become shorter over the past 4 yrs. (Scroll down on pg. after going to link..)

Photo taken last year. In the photo, I did not use a curling iron nor blow-dry any fullness into it. I was in Europe for that photo...and there I realized I could wean myself off from curling iron and blow dryer for first few months.

The fullness at the back is achieved by the right cut. A short cut makes me look younger...and not so tired looking by lifting the weight of hair upward over my ears.

I turned 52 this yr. This photo hides my fine aging lines when I laugh..

So a precision-cut, well-chosen is where I spend my "fashion" money on myself.....approx. every 3-4 months. (Should be abit more often, but I can't afford it.) I'm not into sauna weekends, pedicures, facials, manicures... I totally agree, limewave a wonderful hair cut and styling job is beauty pampering that lasts ..for months. I really do assess a hairstylist skill ..cutting straight hair, especially black...can really show a mistake in unevenness, etc.

Unlike some folks here, I wash my hair daily. With black hair I gotta seriously monitor if the dry prairie air will shrivel up my scalp..into dandruff..
