26 Days Left - Criss Cross Remixed

Day 30 was one of my favorite hairstyles, I thought it was sooo fun!  So I decided to do it with curls.  Turned out nice, don't you think?

Also - I got this comment from theblondgenius:

Love the flyers - but I must admit I'll miss this blog. I've been growing my hair out for Pantene for over 2 years now. I'm having it cut off on Feb. 12th, a nod to Valentine's Day. You've given me great ideas for different styles. It's been fun playing with it, but when people ask me how I can bear cutting it off after growing it out for so long, my answer is always, "It's not my hair - I've just been taking care of it for someone else."

So here's what I've been thinking.  Instead of just stopping the blog, maybe I'll update it once a week as I grow out my hair.  I was thinking of finding other people who also wanted to post their growing out hairstyles.  It would be encouragement, especially when we get to those hard to deal with phases... what do you think?

And I looove her answer.  Think about that ladies, you could give the gift of hair to a women with cancer.

28 Day Left - Simple Braid

I've been concentrating on the actual hair cutting event lately, so that hasn't left a lot of time to think of new dos.  Here's the do from today, I know, not very creative, but I have been using my creativity for the promotion of the hair cutting event on February 20th.

As a reminder, it's at In the Village, Mullica Hill NJ and supports Pantene Beautiful Lengths Program.  It looks like there will also be at least one person donating in Georgia & one in Arizona! 






So here's some of the things I'm planning to use to promote the event.

31 Days Left - Wind Swept

A guy at work said, "I barely recognized you, your hair looks like it was caught up in a wind storm..."  What am I supposed to say to that?




32 Days Left - Poufy Pippi

Ahh, the crutch of changable bangs.  I did braids on day 14, but with the bangs to the side... this time, I added a pouf.

Day 96 - Braided Bun

Did one similar to this a while back, but didn't quite get the effect I wanted the last time.  This time you can really see the braid in the back.





Here's the last time Day 57 - Mop on Top Monday

hehe... now that I look at it, I even wore white that day.

Day 94 - Ocean Braids

You know those 3-Barrel wavers that are out now?  Well I went in to the Cherry Hill Sam Ash & one of the managers had the cutest textured bun (like a girl with curly hair) but she said she had poker straight hair.  Apperantly her trick was to use one of those 3 Barrel Wavers to get the texture.  Well I had to have one....



And apperantly... I need more practice...

Day 92 - Sleep on it

Who really wants to do their hair on New Years, after staying up to watch the ball drop?  Luckily for me, my NYE hair held up well enought to use for New Years (and my Birthday!)

Day 89 - Longwood Gardens

So I went to Longwood Gardens to see their holiday display, and the weather was predicting 20-30 mph winds.  I needed a hairstyle that would be out of my face & unaffectd by the wind.

So I did a french braid down the side, a bun in the back & a small braid on the other side for an accent.






The only thing I forgot was that it was so cold outside I would be wearing a hat all day!  Oh well...
My hair ended up holding up OK through the day... and we had a blast!

Hair-athon Styles71-80

In efforts to support Pantene's Beautiful Lengths Program, I've been doing a hair-athon - a marathon of hairstyles and asking for support.  To support, donate your hair, help me find people who have hair long enough to donate or donate to American Cancer Society.
I'm up to day 80 and I'm on a business trip and I'm not sure how much access I'll have to a computer.  So, I've decided to do a mini-recap of the styles so far.  And since I've moved the date of my hair donation from December 22 to February 20 to allow people time to sign up, I need ideas of interesting posts, so here's styles 71 - 80 for those who may not have seen them.

Day 71 - Shhh... I'm hunting Wabbits


Day 72 - Amish Twist



Day 73 - Nanny Again


Day 74 - Tyra, Tyra, Tyra
