Newly shorn...

A better pic of the new do under the cut, for those interested.

Damn, five in the morning. Off to bed now, really.

Exactly!! Thats my problem too! Normal hair.. just LOTS of it! And same with the wavy thing. Maybe we're really sisters and its just an evil plot that we were seperated at birth or something.

How did you tame the beast? Lots of layers do the trick?

*clings to sister in adversity* Lots of layers definitely helps. And my hairdresser usually did this thing with one tool where it only cut some hair and not all of it, which took some of the weight off. I also had to grudgingly admit that the more expensive shampoos designed for frizzy hair really were worth the money, especially since I don't have to use very much with my hair this short. I had really awesome results with a brand from a chain hair salon, Great Clips, which helped with the frizz and made my hair super super soft, but sadly I can't buy it over here. Lately I've been using the Paul Mitchell 'Shampoo One', and it works nicely, though not as well as the other.

When I first blowdry my hair, it can be a bit fluffy, but I just got some hair gel and that tames it nicely and lets me spike it up. I even get that great bed-head look when I wake up, b/c the gel residue leaves it all spiky and cool :) For that I just use a generic version of Paul Mitchell 'slick works' gel (you can buy it at Sally's Beauty Supply, if you have those where you are).
