Question for women

I agree that hat should be part of the outfit. So get a COOL hat!!

One thing I learned from my hairdresser is to NOT wash hair each time you would normally wash it - just use a conditioner. It will still clean it but not leave you with that fly away mess that one has to deal with in cold dry air. So I do that - I don't wash my hair daily anyway so the next time I am due to wash it I just use my fav Aveda conditioner in shower - and some on the legs too. WORKS!

Would love to see some of your hats!!

I'm an aveda junkie too and i've been tempted on occassion to use it as a bubble bath

I just wear a Fez now. No flat hair or flyaways.

What do you do with your hair when cold weather necessitates wearing a hat? I've been wearing a hat everytime i go outside in this cold and my hair is flat as a board, sticking up and going in directions that it's naturally not capable of. I'm just curious. I'm not really the "hair-doing" type and if you know me, you know i'm not very concerned with style. Just thinking i might be doing my hair in the bathroom at work if i had to wear a hat every day.

If you're not a HAIR person, wack it off short and spiky, but this won't work if you have a long stork like neck.
If you like long hair, braid it down the back- this is always in style.
If you have a thick bush- like hair like an amazon- strip it by bleaching it or going blonde.
If you like attention and need your hair thickened, go red. This has a tendency to fade quick so may require more maintenance.
The most natural, and this also thickens but doesn't require as much maintenance, is being a brunette.
Am I ever going to shut up...blahblahblahblahblah

Last note cause I am boring myself- you don't have to pay megamoney to color your hair.
Find a neutral box color to begin with and don't go too dark or light at the beginning.
I like L'oreal.
Neutral=natural.
Ash is cool and will pull red and orange from your hair.
Warm is well warm and will add gold or red highlights.
This is the footnote version of hair coloring.
With that in mind, go with your gut and have fun!

wonderful recommendations there beauty!

I always choose the whack it off completely option. plus color which I am sick of having to have done. I don't care about gray - but it seems everyone else does.

I am totally letting gray come in. Haven't put all over color since Oct. (and even then it was semi) Blending nicely. Can't tell in pics but in person it shows. WTH!

Gray is God's way of minimizing your wrinkles - seriously, dark hair makes them more noticable!

it does take big 'uns to actually let the gray grow out (omb's that is)

some gray is pretty and then some is mousy and some is wiry/yucky. surely there is something you can do to brighten it or soften it or whatever.

I got gray but not sure how much or what it would look like all out there. I'm curious but Eduardo would KILL me dead if I even suggest it. (my hair dude). you would think its my hair, but it isn't. its his. he owns it.

Both the Scoots and the Bugs have pretty white/streaked hair, just slightly more grizzled, so I have high hopes for my old age! Plus I figure it's better than what you KNOW would be a poorly maintained dye job!

Thanks for tootin my horn

You're very friendly- that's nice.

What's with the Santa Hat? I try to do Christmas all year long, it's fun
I love happy families that have good communication- the effort towards that yields the richest rewards
