I don't get the picture you posted. But, I love Suse Orman's haircut. In fact, I thought about it too. But, I'm a brunette and it wouldn't look the same. Plus, I have naturally curly hair.

I can't see the picture either. Just the dreaded red x.
Leslie

Hmmm......I can see it on my screen. Try clicking this link and see if Lesley shows up. Thanks!

I like Lesley too!

But, we want a picture of you.

Gayle

why not use a temp color to ease the grey? you might like it...

No kidding! A bad hair cut can ruin your day. I figure it takes about 10 days-2 wks. for a bad hair cut to grow out enough to be decent. I have sure had my share. Yours probably only looks bad to you.

This is the way my hair used to look  40 years ago!!

Susan, I should be ashamed to admit this, but over the years my hair has been many things to me (my best feature, the curtain I hide behind, you name it), and although I have nothing against hair color for other people, I've always taken the position that I will never color mine. I also believed that blondes turn grey gracefully, and the end result is rather pretty. If I find that turns out to be a false assumption, I might consider coloring it. But I doubt it. :-)

Okay, here I am in Hairless Old Lady mode, taken this afternoon.

Cute!

Hi Alisande....
First of all, you look absolutely adorable in that haircut. I would give anything to be able to wear short hair. I have a long, egg shaped face, so short hair is a definite no-no for me. Just try to accept that we change throughout our lives, and after awhile, you will get used to it.
You look like a very warm, fun person!

Looks good to me. My hair is naturally curly, which isn't always a blessing, but I've been told I resemble Michelle Lee, if you remember her. I don't see it but I guess other people do.

Susan - I think it looks wonderful, especially the wispy bangs. It frames your face perfectly. But then again I liked your old haircut too. I think it's because you're so pretty that your hairstyle doesn't drastically change your appearance. What is the back like? And more importantly will you be able to duplicate the look yourself?

A few months ago I asked my hairdresser for a 'modified wedge' a la Dorothy Hamill, with wispy bangs. I left with way too many bangs that were so long I felt them when I blinked. And instead of a wedge, she layered the entire head. So I am now in the process of letting it grow out so that I can start again.

I guess you won't be knocking down the columns of the Philistines temple any time soon.

Very Nice. I love it. Don't worry it'll grow on ya'. LOL!

Gayle

Are you KIDDING?! That is the prettiest hairdo - WOW, you look gorgeous! Keep it like this - it looks GOOD!!!

You may feel like Sampson, but you look like Delilah.

It's cute and looks good on you.

Cute hair on a cute face--and you don't need to color your hair!!!

You look very "today!" I do like the haircut and love the color of your hair.

Mammie

I love the cut...it's "you". You're one very pretty "Hairless Old Lady" ;o)

I like it! I have an addiction to long hair, well sorta. I twist mine, and I've done it as far back as I can remember. I remember going to sleep when I was really little with a 'hank' of it in my fingers. I cut it all off right before I had my first baby thinking it would make things easier. I was miserable! Cried about it... Will NOT do that again. And I understand your being depressed. My Mom died in an accident 15 years ago. She was on her way to my house and never made it. So now, anytime anybody is even a little bit late, I have so many overwhelming emotions and my heart feels like it's gonna jump out of my chest. I'm sorry, things have been so hard for you Susan. I'm glad you shared such a personal part of yourself with us. I know you miss your mother too.((((Susan)))) You look good, and it's true that blondes go gray gracefully. Nancy

You guys are so very, very nice. Thank you for all the kind words. I feel a great deal less like a hopeless case now. :-)

Nancy, I can tell you share my feelings about long hair. Among other things your post reminded me that I'm a hair twister, too. Or I should say I was! I'm so sorry about your mom. I understand the residual fear you feel when people are late. I have something similar from when my daughter Jill died, though it's not related to lateness.

Mcmann, the back of my hair is very layered and very short. Since my top (blondest) hair is straight, and the hair underneath is very wavy, from the back I probably look like a duck.

The picture was taken after I washed and blow-dried it, so this is my version. The stylist didn't end up with quite much on my forehead, but I'm not sure how she achieved that.

Barbara, thank you for saying I look like a fun person. That was one of the things I said to the stylist yesterday: I think of myself as fun-loving and often funny, but I keep getting haircuts that make me look conservative to the point of frumpiness. I's probably just as well I didn't tell her I have an overdeveloped sense of mischief . . .

Well, thanks again, everyone!

Susan

I love it! It looks great on you!

Susan ... you look great!

And, as for the mischief ...

... don't lean aainst any stone pillars, O.K.?

Well geeze, you had me feeling bad for you and thinking how awful it must be. Thinking if Susan goes off her rocker, we can blame the nuns LOL. I can't imagine a hairstyle more flattering. You look positively grand.....and very confident. Love your gray, too. Sure wish I grayed so nicely.

I don't doubt a lot of women associate or attribute much of their identity to their hair. I know I did. I wanted to cut it off very badly but was afraid I wouldn't be me anymore without hair flowing down my back and draping my shoulders. "You're free now, aren't you?" is what my mom asked when she first saw it all cut off. She made me reflect for a moment on just how liberating it was. It felt great and I loved it.

Now, about those nuns . . .
