Re: GTKY hair edition
I have curly type 3 hair. It's layered, shoulder length and the left side is undercut/buzzed down. Dyed my hair on Friday so it's burgundy/dark brown.
How often do you get it cut?
Not often enough. I'm lucky if I can afford to go every 4 months or so.
Do you color?
I've colored since I was 16 years old.
If so, what colors do you do/have you done?
My natural color is medium to dark brown. I've been blonde, black, dark brown, red, eggplant, auburn.
How much grey do you have?
Recently, I'm getting more and more. I'd guess I'm about 10%
Longest it's ever been?
With the curls stretched out, I have had it down to my butt
Shortest it's ever been?
Besides the side now (which I shave down to a 1), I've had it as short as two inches
What style would you love to try but have been too scared to do?
Pixie cut. I almost did a St Baldrick's event but it got cancelled. I would have shaved down to a 1 my whole head.
If you could have anyone else's hair, whose would you have and why?
One of my coworkers has the most beautiful wavy golden brown hair. It's lovely and versatile. She can wear it natural or blown straight.
How often do you get it cut?

Yes, I started about ten years ago, just covering grey.

Always been blonde.
How much grey do you have?

Lower back.

If you could have anyone else's hair, whose would you have and why?
How do you wear your hair currently? In a bun or ponytail
How often do you get it cut? About once a year
Do you color? No
If so, what colors do you do/have you done? I've had highlights before and have colored out the grey before but haven't done anything to i in years.
How much grey do you have? I'd say I'm about 5% grey
Longest it's ever been? Down to my waist
Shortest it's ever been? To my chin
What style would you love to try but have been too scared to do? I haven't really given it any thought. I really don't care what my hair looks like as long as it's out of my face! I do childcare for three toddlers and have a toddler of my own so easy and out of the way is my goal
If you could have anyone else's hair, whose would you have and why? I wouldn't mind having my hair from 20 years ago. Age and having children has changed it considerably.

How do you wear your hair currently? Below my chin.
How often do you get it cut? Every 3-4 months.
Do you color? Yes.
If so, what colors do you do/have you done? Blonde highlights when I was younger because I have light brown hair for my natural color. Now I do dark brown/auburn.
How much grey do you have? Random strands that look like wiry tinsel.
Longest it's ever been? Below my shoulders. It's very thick and takes a long time to get length.
Shortest it's ever been? Just above my chin. That was too short for my liking. Never again.
What style would you love to try but have been too scared to do? Candy colored hair. More details in following question.
If you could have anyone else's hair, whose would you have and why? Anyone with hair in shades of pink, blue, or purple. I just couldn't bring myself to bleach my natural hair color to get that look.

TTCAL Siggy Challenge
Chin length layered bob.
How often do you get it cut?
Not as often as I should! I really need to go in every three months, but often wind up waiting six (until it's gotten so long I'm tempted to hack it off myself)
Do you color?
Nope. Although I went through a phase in between college and grad school when I was "sowing my wild oats" and tried a few different shades
If so, what colors do you do/have you done?
My natural color is dark blond, but it gets a lot lighter in the summer, which I like.
How much grey do you have?
A few shiny strands here and there.
Longest it's ever been?
It was down to my waist when I was little, until I cut it off in junior high.
Shortest it's ever been?
I "sort of" had a pixie in the mid nineties, but it was awful.
What style would you love to try but have been too scared to do?
Nothing in particular.
If you could have anyone else's hair, whose would you have and why?
Long, right about my bra strap. Long layers and shaped around my face.

My BFP Chart
How often do you get it cut? every 8 weeks - I'm really itching to chop it off
Do you color? always. i don't even know what my natural color is at this point.
If so, what colors do you do/have you done? high school and college was every color under the sun - red, yellow, green, purple, blackish. More recently - shades of auburn (my hair really likes to pull the red tones so I go with it), dark brown with purplish tints and right now it is light-ish brown with blondish highlights. My appt is tomorrow and I'm guessing I'll go a bit darker for fall.
How much grey do you have? my temples show grey at the roots and I'll find a strand or two mixed in. since i never stop coloring i don't ever notice more than that...
Longest it's ever been? past my butt
Shortest it's ever been? eye-level with shaved in the back.
What style would you love to try but have been too scared to do? full on boy-short. one of my friends does it and it looks cute on her but I don't think I have the facial bone structure to pull that off.
If you could have anyone else's hair, whose would you have and why? I like Mila Kunis' hair or maybe Megan Fox?
How often do you get it cut? Never. Well, ok once every year or so. Occasionally I trim dead/split ends myself
Do you color? oh yes
If so, what colors do you do/have you done? All shades of brown and natural black, when younger went purpleish and also bronze on occasion
How much grey do you have? too much... I've had grey hair since I was 26. Yes, after my first child. I probably have about 15%-20% grey now.
Longest it's ever been? Middle of my back where it is now
Shortest it's ever been? pixie type
What style would you love to try but have been too scared to do? none
If you could have anyone else's hair, whose would you have and why? Oh my gosh, actress Annie Wersching. She's gorgeous, thick long auburn hair
I have grey but I color every other month so not sure how much but it's probably a lot.

How do you wear your hair currently? My hair needs to be cut so right now in a ponytail. My hair use to be stick straight but as I've aged it has started to become curly.
How often do you get it cut? I get my hair cut every 4 months or so.
Do you color? Yes, I color my hair but I would love not to anymore.

Shortest it's ever been? The shortest my hair has been is a pixie cut.
What style would you love to try but have been too scared to do? I’ve pretty much had my hair anyway I wanted but I have regretted a few.
If you could have anyone else's hair, whose would you have and why? If I could have anyone's hair it would be Carrie Underwood’s.
How do you wear your hair currently? Finally said goodbye to my long hair. It's now just above the shoulder - not sure how to describe the style as I was going for a bob but it has layers since my hair is so fine.
How often do you get it cut? 6-8 weeks
Do you color? yep
If so, what colors do you do/have you done? blond to brunette...one time a very dark brown because I tried to self medicate, I mean color

Longest it's ever been? in grade school it was down to my butt
Shortest it's ever been? Had the short spikey look in college
What style would you love to try but have been too scared to do? Would love to try an auburn shade. Kelly Osbourne's purple do is kind of cool too.
If you could have anyone else's hair, whose would you have and why? Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson always come up in my google searches for hair so maybe either of those two.
*Siggy Warning*
About me 2007: Started TTC. 2008: OB prescribed clomid, went to RE and was Dx with PCOS. 2009: IUI #1 w/follitsim and trigger = BFP. B/G Twins born at 33 weeks. 2012: TTC #3, Round 2 of Letrozole w/TI = BFP, missed m/c at 8 1/2 wks. Currently on the bench as we make plans for a new home. Anxious to start TTC #3 within the next year!
Ponytail or braid.
How often do you get it cut?
Last haircut was about a year ago. Oh dear.
Do you color?
Not these days.
If so, what colors do you do/have you done?
My hair is naturally kind of mousy brown but gets blond highlights from the sun. I used to use lightening products (e.g. Sun-In) when I ran outside to encourage these. I also "temporarily" dyed it brunette as part of a Jackie O costume for Halloween one year, and it stayed dyed for a lot longer than the box said it would.
How much grey do you have?
I have no idea--it just kind of blends in.
Longest it's ever been?
Right now, probably. It comes down to a little below my shoulder blades
Shortest it's ever been?
I often have it cut short enough that the back is shaved up a bit, but I always keep my bangs long enough to tuck behind my ears.
What style would you love to try but have been too scared to do?
I guess kind of a pixie cut? I like really short hair on other people, but it just doesn't look that good on me. Keeping it tied back at all times is the next best thing, maintenance-wise.
