    Having a bit of a hair dilemma.

    Don't know whether to keep my hair short and platinum blonde or go back to my natural colour and let it grow.

    OldGoat: I'm almost certain I saw you on the D.A.R.T. on the way home earlier today. If not, then someone is your facial hair double!

    I think there's something impending Autumn that makes people want to change their hair! It's pretty much all I've been thinking of all week :pac:

    What's your natural colour? I'd let the hair grow if I were you, it's so versatile! I've had really long hair for about two years now and I just love that I can scoop it all up off my face, or have it really long. Sometimes I do it in a low messy bun and it looks like I have short hair. Best of both worlds!

    In saying that, I feel I need a change from long, and thinking of going short. Let's swap hair :D

    I was going to give the same advice as Twee! Keep it long, I used to have short hair and have been growing it out for 6 years now. The versitility is worth it!

    But, I did get a change and got my hair dyed today :)

    He's a hard man to miss! More than likely was him! The first time I met him I knew it was him!

    Could very well have done so.
    Think fat oulfella, sweaty and uncomfortable, head stuck in a book. Being a workday I'll have been doing my best Jeremy Clarkson style of dress - a navy blazer combined with jeans and hiking boots. Not my best look I have to say. :o

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    It's kinda a strawberry blonde colour. I'm not really sure anymore, it's been so long since I've been dying it!

    I'm gonna head to the hairdressers today and see if they'll be able to colour the rest of my hair to match my roots. Hopefully they can.

    New post in "What I wore today" thread. :D
    It's a mod warning. :(

    Well I'm no different. It's uncomfortably warm in my office so my standard work attire recently is a poloshirt and chinos. I was wearing a pale orange polo, beige chinos and tan/brown shoes on the train in question, just in case!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    Heathersissy I honestly thought your picture in the WDYWT Glenda Gilson :eek:


    Speaking of hair changes, I'm going from dark brown to platinum blonde tomorrow! I think there's something in the air.

    I'm kind of scared now, but I'm so fed up of my hair and I've been talking about this forever. Plus, it will make my stupid grey roots less noticeable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,189 ✭✭✭Ophiopogon


    I have gone from brown to blond to red to black and back agian and I just think its the best feeling to change drastically, you don't get that feeling from just a cut or clothes.

    Unfortunatley, I develped a serious allergy to hair colour, so have been stuck witht brown hair for the last five years.

    Anyone who is thinking of doing a proper change...please do it, if it doesn't work its fairly easy to change/fix and sure you'll have plenty of years to stick with the final colour in the end.

    I love the idea of this. I have a sewing machine and am often embellishing cheap tshirts, must give this a go next time!

    I'm doing my hair just like that next week! :pac:
    Well it's already short but need to get style cut back into it. and blonde waayy!

    gotta say, fair play to heathersissy for posting in the what are you wearing thread ;)

    I found the pic on reddit (where else? :p ) and the general idea came from this site: http://www.generation-t.com/category/t-shirt-projects/

    it's a seriously cool site and should be a great interest to those who are good at reworking old clothes and things. ;) probably something I should do, considering I have dozens of old T-shirts that I could mess around with.

    Any advice for a fella who's trying to grow his hair a bit long - not down to my shoulders or anything, more of a mullet.

    It always gets to a stage where it's very hard to style...I end up giving up and cutting it.

    Any tips on styles/gels worth trying to get through the awkward stage would be appreciated

    if it's just to keep it out of your eyes, dax short & neat works really well, and try a side parting. :)

    Got it cleaned up for a wedding I have to go to this week.

    It's still very short - nowhere near going in my eyes but a bit too long to spike and not used to doing anything else.

    Basically just got it thinned out and cleaned up around the sideburns etc and I'm sweeping it over to one side liek you mentioned

    Very happy with it :)

    Saw these in some magazine during the week. They are from forever 21. Just went to see if I could buy them and they are out of stock on the site:( Did a google search and they sold out really quickly and are now a much sought after item, selling for 3 times the price on ebay and the like. Has anyone seen similar ones any where? Very sad I am:( Edit - It looks like they've been on sale since Jan so no surprise they are sold out


    What about these ones from Korkys? €39.99

    I have a white blazer that I just noticed has "no dry-cleaning" AND "no washing" symbols :(

    s_dc_donot.jpgs_w_donot.jpg

    It's not really dirty or anything, but I just want to freshen it up a bit. Do you think it would be safe to hand-wash?

    Hand wash it with a little bit of baby shampoo or stick it in the washing machine if yours has a hand wash cycle.
    Then shape it and lay it flat to dry.

    It should be fine :)

    Thanks, I will try that. I can't see anything going wrong :pac: It's white, so no colours to run or anything! I've just never seen that on an item of clothing before - don't clean....no way, no how!

    Yeah I have a cashmere sweater that has those don't clean labels on it but I just stick it in the machine on hand wash cycle and it's always been fine. :)

    I'm wearing a blue and green dress with pink heels to my godson's christening on Saturday, it looks fab, the colour blocking works really well with the style and colours...

    Wore this on Saturday, did pink nails, a gorgeous statement ring with blue green pink and purple glass, metallic blue bracelet and a blue/green feather headband, got a load of compliments on it, including my 17 year old cousin who said "LOVE the colour blocking, well done" :p
