Hair cuts....do yours reflect riding/helmet wearing?

[oops]

Buzz every 3 weeks, like clockwork. Been doing it since about '86. Takes about 5 minutes including vac and shower.

I only look in mirrors for lane changes.

I don't care how I look, the rest of  you can look, look away or throw up. Not my problem.

I'm female.  My hair is a couple of inches below the shoulder, but I'm thinking of getting it cut short.  Maybe like this.



Only I'm too lazy to keep on going back for highlights, so I'd have to pass on those.

I like that too, but my hair's so 'fine'   that it just lays flat against my head and looks - blah. The color is nice, but I agree: between constant trims and re-dyes, it gets expensive and tedious. That's why my hair was tied up in a pony tail for so long.

I'm thinking of doing another color this weekend though

5 pages on haircuts and still going....is this forum hard up for topics or what?

Honestly once you get the right hair cut and layered like that it's quite easy to maintain.  Also the color layers are easy to achieve with a little patience.  That dye job is only two colors and a hair color "chunking" or "highlight" type kit can be found in almost any store that carries hair dye.  

I've done a similar dye job to the photo cultureslayer posted but with the lighter color underneath as I have naturally dark hair and didn't want my roots to show.  All I did was pull up out of the way the hair I didn't want colored in a pony tail and dyed the rest.  The end result was a peekaboo effect of the lighter color showing through from underneath.

Oh and to keep this thread on topic...

I like to keep my hair cut in a bob style so that it fits neatly under my helmet.  Only thing I can stand tied around my head is a bandanna to keep the helmet head look to a minimum.  I've tried pulling my hair back to keep things tidy but can't stand the pulling sensation or the pressure from where the ponytail gets smooshed against my head.

I think you girls oughta do a seminar on hair coloring and cutting at the next meet.

I have fine hair as well.  However I have so much of it that it sort of ends up everywhere and in my way most of the time.

I use a #2 all over, but with how the Arai's flow air, I STILL get a case of helmet head!!!

You guys should try having really thick hair. I've discovered my helmet fits differently depending on how I tie up my hair into my helmet. Oh well... As for that haircut, I may have to do something like that when this red/asian hair mix starts growing out and I can't stand the roots anymore.

Ok, I know uvakat, but I don't know Stargzrgrl, but I'm still going to stick my neck out...I think they should have an "STN Crazy Dyed Asian Hair Shootout."

Whaddya think?

 

[Ant]

I've got very thick hair (for now!) and have to chop it down to a #2 all over to avoid the helmet hair. It also grows very quickly so I generally give it a trim every 2 weeks, because of that I refuse to pay to have it cut. It'd cost me an arm and a leg just to have someone run a trimmer over my head. Sod that, I'll do it myself thank you very much!

[Busy Little Whiner]

So, what about other ST.N members?  Does your coif reflect your passion?

I've cut my own hair for the past 28 years... sometimes I make a mess of it but I've paid for worst...

Yup, I have to do pigtails for any day of riding.  I really do have LOTS of fine hair.  Enough that most stylists are sort of shocked and annoyed they have to cut it all.  Can't seem to find anyone that knows what to do with it.  So now I  just get $15 haircuts because it never seems to look really good no matter how much I pay.  

My boyfriend has talked me into trying the manic panis semi-permanent stuff.  Sounds much better than getting the roots re-done.

I'm trying to enjoy it while I got. It's just like the song says: "You never have to cut it cause it stops by itself."

 I'm with you on that one, Doc.

Dimentional Dying works pretty well too. I had to keep my hair somewhat conservative when it's up, so I have my normal hair color in the front, and then the rear is split into three sections similar to horseshoes of red , normal color, and red. It gives a pretty cool mixture of red and normal so the roots are too bad

Stage 1 is complete.  Now I must decide on the right color of manic panic to buy.

[wvrider]

Yep, I like to keep it as short as it will go and still lay (pretty dang short). That said I like to go to the barber shop (yes a real barber shop) for my $10 do. I like the atmosphere, chatter and tv sports with the Gomers.

No.

Been going to Cori for going on 9 years.  I see her every 4 weeks and she gives the best scalp massages on the planet.  I pay more than most chicks to get my hair did, but Cori's worth it.  She gets a healthy tip and all is good.

She knows I ride so during season she cuts a bit closer.
