New Straightner

So with the shorter haircut, I bought one of those small straightners, hoping it might save me some days from the blow dryer.  Well, it won't fix roots that have gone astray (read bed head) but it does make for a really sleek look.  It's only a very slight difference from not straightned, but as it gets longer, I think it will show more.

Now the call goes out to all you ladies.  Are you growing out your hair?  Did you donate recently?  I was thinking it would be fun to have people send in their ideas for cute short hair or those in-between grow out tips so that people who are considering donating their hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths can get tips.  What do you think?  Have something to share?  Send it to 100hairstyles@gmail.com

Looking forward to it!

Lacey Brown, I love the look, soulfoul voice, she's cute and I love her hair too.
Her rendition of "What a Wonderful World" from Hollywood round was great and very endearing and what a great attitude about not getting through last year. I really liked Megan Joy (who got thru instead of her) but Megan didn't quite deliver although she was good. I'm glad Lacey was given another chance this week. Some people say her hairstyle is called "The Suspicious Duchess".

Curling Iron Envy

Just cause I have short hair, it's no reson to neglect my curling iron, don't you think?

Recognition

I can't believe I did this, but I forgot to thank the ladies who came out to support the event on Saturday!

Thanks Ladies!  You turned a haircut into an event!

There's Missy (& Rita of course...)

And her girls Jac & Taylor

And Danette - who stayed behind the camera for the whole thing.  So I'll have to post a pic from our holiday party...

Tailor Swift Hairstyles

Tailor Swift Hairstyles

Tailor Swift’s hair is absolutely envious. She might jump out of her normal routine and wear it flat and straight, which looks fine, but her hair is naturally curly. Those ringlets you see on the red carpet are hers. Yeah, I’m jealous too!

You’ll hardly ever see the pretty singer without getting an eyeful of those gorgeous curls. Sometimes she manipulates them into being tight or loose, but they’re never too big or too little. They’re always just right.

Of course, she doesn’t just wake up and have perfect hair, though it looks like she does. If you’re wondering how to get that effortless, tame ringlet look, try these pointers:
For naturally curly or wavy hair, use a leave in conditioner. You can even mix it with your favorite texturizing product. Apply it from the ears downward; leave the top alone.

To prevent frizz, don’t touch your hair while blow drying. Use a long finger diffuser attached to your blow dryer and go through your hair slowly, not combing but supporting strands so that they can dry evenly. If your hair is thin and needs volume, bend over at the waist and blow dry your hair from the roots up.

If your hair is naturally straight, you’ll need a curling iron to get this look. Try something with a barrel that’s at least 1” thick. You don’t necessarily have to have tight curls; remember the looser they are the more natural it looks. Finish it off with a good natural hold hairspray. If you need shine, you can add a drop of serum to the roots, but let the curls shine on their own.

More Inspiration

And the pictures keep coming in of people who donated to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths this weekend!

Lisa, a cancer survivor, says:
Well here's some pics from my parents phone. Feel free to post any 1 or all :) I will put some b4 & after photo's up soon since my hair is naturally curly but my last profile pic was with it straight.

 
P.S. Isn't amazing how light your head feels after a cut like that?? :)
 

Look at all that hair!!

Beautiful Cut!

Pantene's going to be happy with all that hair!

And Molly, who donated in honor of my Aunt and Grandmother who are both Breast Cancer survivors, shows off her new look.

Before

Wow!

And a donator in Atlanta says:

Hi -- I just saw your hair cut photo -- it's beautiful -- the cut and the generosity it represents.

I live in Atlanta and discovered your blog yesterday morning. I have twice donated my hair to Beautiful Lengths in the past 5 years and was considering doing it for a third time next week. Your blog was the tipping point -- I got my hair cut yesterday and my donation pony tail is on its way to someone whom, I hope, will find it comforting as she works on cancer treatment. So, thanks! Enjoy your new cut!

Great work ladies!!!
