MY HAIR, DAUGHTER'S HAIR and EXTRAS (pic heavy)

[UltraBella]

Hello LHCers, I haven't been around much. Work, life and the great Montana outdoors has left me little time for online posting but summer is winding down and I am popping in here more often. Once winter hits you'll see me a lot more often !

Back on April 10th I cut my TBL hair to BSL. It was a huge change for me but I have loved it. It's grown quite a bit and I am thinking it's trim time again in the very near future, but here's a photo update for now.

Sorry for the terrible cell phone pic. April 10th length after cut :

Here is my length now :

My layers have kept their shape and grown out nicely, I still really love them :

Now for my daughter, many of you have seen her pics in previous threads and she had colored her hair a darker brown and grown it out longer. The brown was just a Demi color so when it faded out she decided to go for the Ombré look. She liked it but the summer fun & sun just took a toll and by the start of school she was ready for a new look. She is a junior in high school this year and she decided it was time for a big change. She's really happy with it. It works with her natural texture, she just showers and lets it dry, uses a bit of scrunching mousse.

Here she is in the chair getting ready for her makeover :

And here is her after :

Two days later, the first day of school :

And just for fun, here's a recent pic of Tito, one of my fur babies. Please forgive his extra long nails, he had two days until his trim appt :

Well, that's it. As updated as we all can be. The only one I have left out is the husband, lol.

Any of you get a new look ? New fur babies ? Feel free to post so I can see, I realize I have probably missed a whole lot these past few months.

[sakuraemily]

ok, your doggies, your daughter and you are such beautiful people. Please never let her wear contacts permanently coz she's one of the best looking people in glasses and she makes me feel so good about mine.
You all have such amazing hair too but I just can't get over how beautiful you all are!

[Aqua Gal]

I always love seeing picture of your hair. It looks great!(seriously, when does it not look great) Your daughter's makeover came out gorgeous too. What a pretty family you make.

[spookyghost]

Both you and your daughter have gorgous hair! One day I will post pics of my hair. Two reasons I have not done that yet is 1. I need to figure out how to do it!:)
2. I hate my hair at the moment.

You had some awesome growth since April! Amazing!

[Maybe]

Such beautiful pics, thank you for sharing!

Have the wilfires you were having earlier this.summer out there stopped?

My hair looks nothing like yours even though, other than the thickness of each strand, we seem to be very similar 'on paper'. Is that your natural wave pattern or are you curling it? If so, with what? I would love for my hair to look like that.

Your daughter is a cutie!

[UltraBella]

Sakuraemily,

Oh thank you :)

She had them off in the one picture but she LOVES her glasses, she had contacts for a while but decided they just weren't for her. Proudly wear your glasses !!

Maybe,
It's better, most here are out or under control. We had smoke moving in from other states though so the smoke was nearly unbearable for a while. It's very dry, we need some rain !

No, definitely not my natural wave pattern, it would be a bit of a mess otherwise. I use a Caruso Mollecular Hairsetter or a regular old large barreled curling iron, depending on my mood.

Thanks everyone :)

[hellucy]

Wow your hair has grown so much since it's chop!
Your daughter looks so much like you.... the new cut suits her, she looks lovely and more grown up.
:crush: Such cute doggies.

[Someday]

Beautiful hair -- you and your daughter's! I tried to ask you in another thread (but it was in the wrong place, and you probably didn't see it), but how short was your shortest layer when you cut back to bsl? My hair is a bit longer than apl, with layers, and I want to keep the length, but cut the layers shorter (to slowly cut out damage from partial highlights). I am just not sure how short the layers can be cut without looking odd. I love you layers, so any advice would be appreciated!

Sorry I didn't see it ! When I was BSL I would have to guess that my shortest layer was around jaw length probably. This time they were cheek bone length to blend in with my old bangs. I have had them as short as top of the ear length before. Love them each way. I am just a layer fanatic :)

[Ebrox]

what a lovely family!
and both you and your daughter have such beautiful hair.. congrats!

[Charybdis]

Nice to see you back round these parts, UB! You and the kiddo and the pups all look great. :)

[lapushka]

Amazing how fast your hair has grown already! :) Your daughter looks gorgeous with her new cut. Love the doggies!

[teal]

Very nice pics indeed! I wish the pictures uploading would be fixed so I can update my albums without resorting to photobucket...

[jacqueline101]

Your pictures are wonderful your dogs are cute and so is your daughter.

[Anywhere]

Both of you look great. Your layers really work well with your hair, and your daughter is so pretty with her shorter hair. :)

[CurlyCurves]

Love it all :)

[Katleen]

Wonderful pictures, and such amazing hair!!!! Your daughter looks just like you, a gorgeous family!!

[UltraBella]

Thanks, everyone :)

My daughter was pretty excited to show off her new hair. Last time I posted about her hair and her progress, she read every single comment.

[Kyla]

Both you and your daughter have absolutely amazing eyes. :) Her new haircut is really cute.

[owlathena]

As always, your hair is amazing! And your daughter is lovely! She looks just like you!

[minxe]

You and your daughter look so alike! Both of you have such beautiful hair, too! :)

[summerjade]

Thank you for sharing your lovely hair pictures with us!! It was nice to see you again. Your daughter is beautiful, just like you and her new hairdo is so pretty. It suits her well.

[summerjade]

Oh, UB, I almost forgot!! Your fur babies are gorgeous too!! Love them!!

[pink.sara]

Nice to see you and the furbabies back UB :) Hope you've had a good summer.

Your daughter is totally stunning, her new hair is really cute on her.

And as for you.... how dare your hair grow that fast and still be so gorgeous!! *Shakes fist ;)

Good to know! Hopefully I can get rid of some of the damaged layers, and then grow to your length. Thanks!

[Chimom79]

Beautiful hair and absolutly adorable lil dogs! I have 3 chihuahuas. They are in need of their nail trimming too! Lol!

[katfemme89]

You are such a beautiful lady and your daughter is gorgeous! She's a spittin' image of you :D

And your dogs are PRECIOUS! Thanks for updating us!

[jen5972]

Wow! Love your hair! It is beautiful! You seriously make me really want to get layers! I just remember that I couldn't do any updos when I had them. Do you mostly wear your hair down? Do you have to curl your hair to make it look right, or does it naturally look that perfect :)? Your daughter's hair looks really pretty too. And your doggies are so sweet :).

[KwaveT]

What else is there to say other than both you and your daughter have positively beautiful hair. I think many of us wish our hair grows as fast as your.

[PrairieRose]

Very beautiful, both of you!

[BambooBeauty]

You and your daughter are beautiful!

[spidermom]

I'm pretty sure you saw my last change. Nothing since then.

OMG; your hair is so pretty and grows so fast! I think I hate you! (not really)

[Vanilla]

Love the new pictures :)

[aspartame gram]

Your daughter looks just like you! Beautiful pictures! It's always so much fun to do something drastic to one's hair--after all, it grows out!

My goodness, your hair grows so quickly! Your hair curls and has plenty of volume, so the layers look fantastic. Since I don't blow dry my hair (part lazy and my hair frizzes whenever I've tried) too many layers wouldn't look as good. I just love seeing how layers work well on others. ^_^

PUPPIES! They are so cute! I miss having puppies.

[eros]

So jealous of your curls. stunning

[twoLs118]

OMG your hair is totally gorgeous & im totally jealous!!!!

[FrozenBritannia]

Puppies are cute as always, and so are you and your daughter! She has gorgeous eyes btw, and looks so much like you!

[Falcore]

Your daughter is just a mini you! So beautiful the pair of you.

Your hair has grown so fast!

I don't wear it down very much, it's usually in a bun or up somehow for work, in a bun when I am lazy, in a bun when it's windy........ Lol. I haven't had any issues with my layers and updos but I know that is a common problem. My natural hair type is wavy/frizzy but it works well it's my layers and looks fine without being styled. It looks better with the Caruso curlers though :)


What else is there to say other than both you and your daughter have positively beautiful hair. I think many of us wish our hair grows as fast as your.

I am perfectly happy to trade with you ;) I get annoyed when I get my hair cut just like I want it and then it's grown out a short time later - but I do appreciate the fact that if I ever get an awful cut it will grow out fairly fast.


I'm pretty sure you saw my last change. Nothing since then.

OMG; your hair is so pretty and grows so fast! I think I hate you! (not really)

I did see your last change and I really liked it !

I don't blow dry either, it's something I completely avoid whenever possible. I am just way too lazy, lol and I findit to be a terrible chore.

If I didn't have my two dogs the house would seem so empty and quiet, I can't imagine not having a dog or two. Maybe it's time for another one for you soon ??


So jealous of your curls. stunning

Don't be jealous, all you need is a Caruso Mollecular Hairsetter ! I can't live without that thing :)


Thanks everyone, I promise I have read each and every response and appreciate them all. Daughter hears frequently that she looks like me and although she finds it annoying, I think she secretly likes it too. I love it !!!!!

[TeaEarlGreyHot]

I love my layers, too, but I cannot take my hair being down for very long so I'm growing my layers out so that updos are not so pokey.

Your daughter's cut is PERFECT for her face! It took her from looking 12 to looking 17 (I had the same problem in high school and college). I love her glasses (I'm in the glasses look awesome on me club), I think black plastic frames would really make her blue eyes pop!

Also, I want to snuggle your fur babies so much! My husband isn't a pet person so I'm limited to Chinchillas and Rabbits :)

[brownpaperbag]

Wow, you and your daughter look so alike!

[Tia2010]

Your hair looks great and your daughter is beautiful! :)

[Silverbrumby]

Amazing how fast your hair grows and you and your daughter both have the great hair gene.

[Micayla47]

what a gorgeous family!

[Suguru]

Thanks so much for sharing UltraBella! You and your daughter are both beautiful young women with lovely hair. And your animals are just too cute!

[kidari]

Loved your post and pictures as usual. Any plans on growing back to TBL or keeping it BSL-MBL?

[pepperminttea]

Goodness, you have a mini-me! ;) A beautiful family indeed, and lovely photos; thank you for sharing them with us. :)

[UltraBella]

Loved your post and pictures as usual. Any plans on growing back to TBL or keeping it BSL-MBL?

I can honestly say that I didn't enjoy having TBL hair at all. It was like wearing a warm blanket all the time. It was heavy and thick and a chore to take care of. I don't miss it one bit and I don't plan on ever letting it get that long again.

Next time I cut my hair I may go to shoulder length instead of APL since it's grown out so quickly.

[joflakes]

You're all looking so beautiful! I love the hair that you both have, it looks so healthy and full and bouncy! Fur babies are always very cute :crush:

[heidi w.]

I think nails on pooches are the hardest to keep up with, but for small pups, I think longer nails are accepted, so you're all fine there. My Piccolo, if I allowed her online shopping privileges, would spend all my money on fresh beef being delivered.
LOL

Lovely pictures of all of you.

heidi w.

[Lostsoule77]

You are as gorgeous as ever. Your daughter as well. :) I love your hair at it's current length. It's a shame it won't stay there for long. Glad to see you around. :D

[alyanna]

Wow, wow, wow!
Ultrabella, I'm loving those layers!!! They look AMAZING! They've grown out perfectly. That's the great thing about layers. These types of cuts keep for a long time and seem to get better after a few months.

And your daughter ... carbon copy or yourself. Mini Ultrabella ;)

[Greenfire]

Wow, your daughter's haircut looks amazing on her! I do have to say that at first I thought it was two different girls, because in the first picture she looks about 12 and in the second she looks closer to 16! You might not like to hear that though!!!

[UltraBella]

Thanks for all the replies !

I need to set up my hair appointment soon because I have a big event coming up and I like to make sure my highlights are refreshed and my cut is good - I have weird areas that grow longer than others and it can start to look lopsided. Maybe shoulder length this time ? But then I am scared that I will have no nice ways to put it up while at work. I'll have to think about that some more.......

[Tressie]

Thanks for sharing lovely lady! Your DD is adorable with long or short hair, and so are your furr babies! I enjoyed the great photos! Just beautiful all around! :flower:

[LaurelSpring]

Ultrabella, you have so many fans! You should start your own hair site/blog or something. I would subscribe! Love your posts and pictures. Thanks for sharing.

[dulce]

Beautiful pics!Your daughter has inherited your good looks!As a chi mom I especially liked your furbabies.

[Maverick494]

Gah, you two keep looking good even in close-ups! You sure passed on the photogenic gene onto your daughter. Love the layers, every time I see yours I keep thinking I want to try it myself but I don't have as much/thick hair as you do.
