In a not so funny way-I di...well, that's funny! In a not so funny way-I did the EXACT same thing! Except, I went from my naturally lovely red to blonde, highlights first time, then more, then decided I could just buy a box myself and get the all over blondish/brown I wanted, well my blonde over the highlights gave me a very golden red, with the 'mushy sticky' wet mess you described which no conditioner could improve, then the frazzeled old doll's hair-so I too got a 'bob' cut, whichveveryone loved, except me, it was good for a few days, then frizzed right back up-so I cut it above my ears in December-no-one seems to care for it this short- but the point is, to start from scratch- I have been using Nioxin since I cut it Dec 2 2010 and it is now Jan. 28th 2011, it has grown 3 inches which is fast for me, I am hating this growing out stage, but firmly will use no heat appliances, or dyes. I see that under all the color I have used for 25 years, is beautiful silver, gold and copper 'free highlights!' I want to see what my own color really is again-I am also going with the water only washing to see how it goes. I do add olive oil to my dry hair for gloss though. I was a bit happy to hear I am not the only one who got to the point of cutting it all off in order to grow it long-after the age of 40! I feel as though I too can do it right this time!

I did mess it up with perms though.SchnauzerMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169794494360415699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634196082642739025.post-25132079588743441112010-05-24T06:48:03.504-04:002010-05-24T06:48:03.504-04:00P.

Hence this awful hair cut (she did not give me the style I asked for either) and the growing out begins anew. I just got tired of the awful frizz. Now I have short pouf that looks just as bad and it is still frizzy. Only now I can't pull it back and off my face. Sigh...<br /><br />I've had one bad hair disaster myself...3 dye jobs (first one involving bleach) in a weekend.
