I don't want to go short, not even as short as the pic in my profile.....but I am all one length about my elbows...tough keeping up with the platinum color I am turning.
So I am going to search and see if the gal can give me front layers and long sweeping bangs.
That way i Can still pull it up. It's so long now, I end up clipping it up with no style.
My profile pic is 6 1/2 years old, thats the last real hair cut i had, just trims to grow in. I need an update.

stop by a barnes and nobles if you have onbe handy and look thru all of the magazines there and see if there are any that stick for you. if there is then buy that one magazine and show it to your hair dresser.
I really like the length of your profile picture.

Di,

I remembered that you are a hairdresser. Is that right? I think it is wonderful that you are doing something for yourself.

Wow Mari, yes in the early 1970's and while the kids were growing up. I went with something not drastic, few inches off the back and angled layers in the front to my chin down.

I didn't really agree with the method she used, holding the hair out at a vertical angle....I bring it forward to the chin on a horizontal angle. It makes layers but doesn't remove as much thickness with fine hair.

Dang, it was $30.00 with the tip for a dry cut. I use to get $3.50 lol. We didn't even blow dry back in the day, it was wash and roller sets.
One day I took the old hair dryer with a hose and blow up cap to work. I used the hose to blow the hair off patrons. I had a great idea when I saw the hair blowing around to dry he hair like that to give it volume. To this day the people say to me how I truly invented blow drying.

OMG, that reminds me when I was working as a patrol officer one of the township supervisors that had his hair cut years before got in the cruiser during the middle of the night, he wanted me to drive up the "towers" to talk....this is a tiny road to the top of he mountain where the TV station towers are on top of the mountain.

I left him know I was not leaving the township, then he told me the "I am your boss" bit. Then he says, "I remember when you use to cut my hair, you were/are so hot.....etc" I knew I was in real trouble.

I told him i had to drop documents off at the next town they were waiting for the warrant , then drove to the next township. I went inside, he followed me. I told the Cpl. And him I had to use the phone.....this is 3:30AM, and called the Chief, no answer....I called the Council president and told him what was up and I wasn't moving until someone took care of it.

They got po'd at me, why didn't I tell him to get out.....I tried, after he got in when I said no, telling them about the inappropriate conversation. In the morning, my Chief yelled at me, that it was our boss. I didn't care who he was, keep him out of my car and stop turning up on my calls.

He had also been showing up on my midnight shift calls. Once was a home invasion I had my weapon drawn and he came around some bushes in the rear yard, i was in pursuit of the guy leaving the residence. No way I should have had to work like that.
Within a few weeks his wife called that he assaulted her and he was forced to resign. A lot of ugly things came out. No one ever said sorry.
Shortly after that my engagement was announced and I was working full time in the borough I became chief of the PD so I left the first PD job.

Wow, I can't believe the things I went through. I could write a book.

Wow, that is cool Bizi. My Uncle was a police officer, but in those days girls weren't accepted into the field. I was the first female municipal police chief in the state. Since then there have been several female patrol officers and many Chief's.
I really had to fight my way in taking 13 years, but paved the way for others. I remember a game commissioner speaking about the beaver dams along the lake to the town. He stopped me outside to tell me he was honored to meet me and wanted to share something.

He had been attending a conference in Pittsburg area and others were asking if he had worked with me. He admitted he was new to my district but would make it a point to meet me. He went on to say how well respected I was and admired. I was tough, honest, fair but above all had integrity.
One day my dh came home and asked me about a man that was lost in my town and I helped him find the family he needed for work to be done. I recalled him, dh told me how the man was going to selling the estate contents of dh Mom's home. The man told him the story how he was so lost on all the streets going in circles until I ran across him saving the day.we found out the gentleman was the father of a gal that just married dh's coworker.

You never know who you help how things come back to help you one day.
