Wash that Man....

.... right outta my hair ?

Was that the song ?

Anyway, why do women see having their hair a different colour after Divorce as a priority ?

As my ex-wife must have went through the whole spectrum of hair colours.

I nearly spoke to her one day (in a very busy place) as I didn't recognise her until I got the "look" !

Enlighten me ?

LOL, that's funny you bring that up. My close friend just "washed a man right out of her hair", said she felt like she closed a chapter. I dunno what it is?

I was about to chop 5 in. off, but I read that you should wait a year to make any rash decisions.

I have changed my hair color countless times since the divorce. It makes me feel special and alive!! :)

A secret - I did it too (once), so it may not just be a woman thing :-)

Are we cosmetically primed to become "new" after going through the mangle ?

Fresh starts deserve fresh looks, no?

I think we do it for two reasons...we want to feel better about ourselves, and we want our SO (or XSO) to notice. I am not opposed to a little "sugar tree shaking" from time to time.

I have always colored my hair, so that was nothing new. When I started to lose weight, then he got jelous. Of course that weight has since come back on. I am gonna wait till the holidays are over, and then concentrate on losing again.

"sugar tree shaking"

I like it ... LoL

I did the hair, the whole wardrobe, Gym ...fit as a Butcher's dog I became, but it is just cosmetic as I was dead inside.

For me, it was a self esteem issue. He left me, so there must be something wrong with me--right. So, I try and do things that might make me feel better about myself and accept myself for what I look like.

Yes, but is it really neccessary ?

Are we just papering over the cracks ?

I've always had mine streaked -like the blond better than the mousy brown- just makes me feel better. However, I should've clued in when he died his.....

I went blonde for the first time in my life (well, since I was 5). I don't think I'll stay this way, but for right now, I love it! It goes with the "NEW" me. :)

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
