Beanie, as someone who loves dark/natural hair, I don't think I say this often to people, but DAYUM you look good as a blonde!
Nolu, that's about the length my hair is now. But without the pretty layers or waves. Mine just lays flat and stick straight. Blow dry? Stick straight. Air dry? Stick straight. Braid and sleep in it? Frizzy for about two hours after undoing braids, then stick straight. My hair will. not. hold. a curl.
Dumping henna on it when I wake up tonight, though.

My new meds are tearing up my stomach (yay metformin) and causing me to have cramps 24/7. I also think I've been extra hormonal lately because I'm crying at the drop of a hat. Then again the last 2 weeks have been very stressful/sad so maybe it's not that weird.
But seriously I am cramping like I am on my period when I'm not. And that is obnoxious. I don't know why B-yas (or however it's spelled) would be different than regular yaz.
I've lost 6 lbs in 3 weeks though since being on these things. I'm wondering if it is due to the hormones? Not sure.

Thank you! I'd have to grab the bottle and look again but I'm pretty sure I grabbed a 10N, neutral lightest blonde, and a level 40 developer. That's it! If it wasn't the 10N it was the HL-N which is high lift neutral.
Thanks! I think it looks really natural on me. When I was younger I had blonde hair and it's gotten darker as I've gotten older, so it's really not wildly unusual. It actually matches my eyebrows LOL. I really really like it. I'm undecided how long I will keep it since it will require plenty of maintenance for the roots though.

Try the headband wrap method. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPmQsR1xXLI It's the only thing that keeps my hair somewhat curled throughout the day. I wake up with what looks like Jewfro, then it relaxes into decent curls by the end of the day, like this.
I definitely wanted to keep the red in it - the guy told me my hair is naturally red so as I lift it, it will stay red. He didn't even recommend we tint it. He said if I want more red, come back and we'll get a tint, but he thought just going a natural high blonde would get what I wanted.
He also said I was the very first person he ever recommended a 40 too. Normally he talks people down into 30 or 20 but he said go full on 40.
I LOVE it. I left it on for 40 minutes, he guessed I should try 35 but I pushed it a bit longer because I wanted higher. I have enough for a second round if I want to go lighter, but I think it's really gorgeous already. My Rockaholic conditioner should be good to keep everything healthy but he told me my hair was super duper healthy and gorgeous, and now was a good time to try it. So boom.
Before:
and DRUM ROLL PLEASE...
after:
I'm hoping to get some photos outside tomorrow to catch how beautiful it really is. I love love love LOVE IT. My mom thinks it's really pretty too, she was terrified of me doing it and tried to talk me out of it haha.

I LOVE THE BLONDE ON YOU!!!
lowercase.
If it makes you feel any better, met did that for me, too. It took me a long time before I was able to take it and not have to worry about a nearby bathroom... Maybe 3 months? It definitely gets better (but I still try to take it with a meal, preferably high in protein). I do, however, think met has helped me tremendously with my weight loss (and even just because I was scared of the met effects after eating something bad, lol).
Bathroom 6 times today. No fun at all.
It does give me hope that it gets better. They want to switch me to glumetza(?) because they say it is sometimes more tolerable. I'm on week 3 of regular met 500 mg 2x a day and it's getting bad. I had to opt out of working out tonight because I can see me trying to do squats and er.... not good.

Beanie it looks AMAZING. OMG. Love the red, but the strawberry blonde is stunning.
You continue to amaze and impress me.
((((HUGS)))) just.. lots of hugs.. no advice or anything because, well, I don't know.
Ooo pictures? You showed us pictures when it was blonde a few years ago and it was just gorgeous.
I love your hair so much. Seriously. I need more pictures so I can drool over and and plot how to steal it from you. I just want super long hair for a while.
Super long, purple hair.
The hair on my crotch, apparently. Hmmph. I don't know if it's doing much for the hair on my head.
You can do a microtrim and trim just the hairs with the split ends. It takes forever, but would solve the split end issue without taking off too much length. Your hair is so thick and gorgeous, I can't even imagine how awesome it much be when it's that long. The only person I've ever met with hair as nice as yours is Skittles.
I'm going to make a dorky obsessive post about my hair next. Because I'm depressed and sick and I need something that I can consistently obsess over, and it's going to be my hair.

So, I desperately want my hair to look like this:
But it's going to take a year(ish) to reach my shoulders.
The last time I had it that long was 2009:

I found a picture of it in one of the (seemingly constant) in-between phases, though, and it was quite cute.

I've decided to try and grow mine out a bit. We'll see how long I last.
I'm just stuck on the part where it's going to take 2+ years to get to that point. I want it long NAO.
I want this developing mullet to go away, too. But I promised not to cut it. Besides the potential mullet, the it's awesome. I have muppet hair. Not using shampoo and constantly oiling it has made it curly as ****.
BERG - how long is your hair now?
