Thanks hun, let me know what you come up with - am thinking about henna? the coffee is nice, adds a nice pleasant tint - but doubt it will last long - my whites are impenetrable!

I was playing with my hair today (in a styling way) and think a chin bob will look good!!

I agree, Mrs. Kolo, your hair is beautiful! I know with sensitive skin, sensitive hair, and with a "hot spot" that seems weaker, a natural dye will work better. Have you tried a pure vegetable dye out of fruit and/or vegetables? I remember a science experiment that went wild and dyed our hair for about two weeks, however, I don't remember what vegetables were a part of the experiment.
Best wishes, you are doing so wonderful, I am thrilled for you!

Yes I think a chin length bob will look good. But I agree with Sam, ask the hairdresser for advice. They (mostly) know what they’re doing :)

You’re still doing amazingly awesome!!

That's exciting!! Go for it.

Ive looked into henna a little, I'm not sure it's as pure as it claims to be. Ugh my whites are very strong also. Permanent dye does such a good job. I'm looking for brands available in Europe as they are more gentle and don't contain the harsher chemicals.

Ooh, I'm thinking about henna too. According to my research, there's a lot of chemical crap out there that calls itself "henna," but you have to use body art quality henna if you want it really pure. Sounds totally worth it, though! This one company has it tested by an independent laboratory to make sure it doesn't contain any non-henna crap. And you can mix different plants, like indigo, to make just about any color. The only thing making me hesitate is that it's completely permanent, and it seems I'm 'fraid of commitment. Anyway, see http://www.hennaforhair.com/

And ooh, a chin bob, that's all kinds of exciting. You're an inspiration, Mrs. K! :)

Hmm intriguing!

yes emmy you are totally right too often henna is just a nice name given to chemical crap....thats why I am thinking about the lush ones as a start http://www.lush.com/shop/products/hair/henna-hair-dyes/caca-marron-mama I am not a fan of lush normally the shops smell too string to go near but am thinking to take the plunge.

as for haircuts yes I am getting to the stage where I actually *need* one as it is now hard hard hard to control my hair, it really resists being neatly pinned up and throughout the day wriggles free so I look very bushy and hairy...but not styled at all...so yeh its getting essential. Am skinted now as strike week means no work or pay for me (gaaah) and my hubbie was paid less than usual as was massively overtaxed. But in the new year I will be having a haircut....hopefully a swan will emerge :)

Pretty swan!

Helloooooooo! no news or updates really just saying hiiii!

Had a nice weekend of drinking in oxford (very xmassy) and bought a great new dress.

Now cooking roast dinner!

oooh actually I have made progress on haircut front. Am gonna get it done by my friends private hairdresser - gonna go down and have wine and get hair cut in my friends house so no scary salons how good is that? Gona arrange for it in new year!!!

Sounds like a great weekend :) And that's awesome about your cut, yippeeeeeeee!!!!!

Awesome, having a private salon cut complete with wine! That is one of the best ways to have a comfortable hair cut!
I am glad that CBT is successful with alcohol treatment plans, as I was asked by a friend who is an active alcoholic if the program might help. I know for me, it is a medical necessity to beat the depression. Between trich and depression, I've got a full three pages that I'm trying the third column on, lol!
Best wishes for your private salon visit!

Ooh what a lovely way to get your hair cut!! :)

Looking forward to your pictures, and here's to a safe month for all of us! Keep your hands down, you are doing so wonderful!
