What is my favorite hair product:

Sheer Blonde Shaping & highlighting balm & the Sheer Blonde Sampoo & Conditioner. It keeps the "ashy" tint out of my hair.

Best hair care tip:

Getting a trim every 6 weeks & blow dry as little as possible.

Any hair horror stories to share:

Actually, I have a few more than I should mention. Here are some: I cut my own hair. I am really picky how I want it & so far, no one has cut it the way I want, so I went to Sally's Beauty & got a pair of hair cutting sissors & thinning sheers, I have not had any mishaps of the actual cutting other than I have a cow-lick @ the nap of my neck & if I am not careful I will really gap it up. I did the very 1st time. I gapped up the back of my hair trying to straighten it out. It got really short almost like I had a crew cut. It looked horrible from behind and of course my husband had to ask about it. It took about 2 weeks for it to look o.k.

Then, I decided to go Strawberry blonde (I am a natural blonde already) & I chose this new color by Clairol or L'Oreal. I cannot remember the color. After I colored it, it was exactly the same as it was on the box, I really liked it. At that time, we were going to Florida for vacation & I grew out my hair for about 4 months (before I colored it), so when it got wet it would not stick up every where. I kept it that color for about 2 months & then decided to go back to my natural color. I chose my color and once I was finished, it turned my hair a dark brown. So of course I was upset & I started putting ( a well known dandruff shampoo) on my hair, dry, so it would pull out some of the color, it worked a little. I did not color for another 6 weeks & then completely bleached my hair & by this time I had already cut off my hair so it finally came out right. There are more, but I do not need to bore you any more w/ my "mishaps". Any hairstyle changes on the horizon? I am not sure. I do love change so I am sure I will do another color.
