Well I finally got DF to take some pictures for me, one of which is now my signature piccy.

BSL is my (hopefully very) short term goal, then on to waist. :)

It's actually quite nerve-racking sharing my hair here, everyone else's is so gorgeous!

As you can see I've got some significant layering going on, some of which I intend to keep, but I'm definitely growing the shortest layer out. I also have a thickish fringe, which I definitely plan on keeping for always, even if it does remove some hair from the back view. :p Same goes for a little forward graduation. I need the graduation and the fringe to soften my face.

Eek, going to hit "submit" now!

Lexi :)

ETA: What signature piccy? That didn't work. I'll try uploading it again, oops. :p

ETA: Umm... I've hit insert now, and the preview looks exactly right, and I hit save.... but it isn't showing up. Am I being a klutz? *frowny face* I built myself up to this too. Arg.....

ETA: Tis below. Hoorah! :p

Edit: Hooray, here we are...

My hair.

Also, my fringe is visible in my avatar. You get the gist.

Beautiful hair! I also have the short term (hardly feels that way) goal of BSL and then the long term goal of waist. Keep up the good work!

Dear lexiflowers, your hair's very pretty:).Awesome color...is that your natural color?

Thanks everyone. :) The compliments mean an awful lot coming from you guys. :D


...is that your natural color?

Sadly not. But shhh. :p Tee hee.

I'm a henna head. (Lush's Caca Rouge, several straight applications, but just glosses now to maintain roots, health, and shiny-ness without going any darker.)

My natural colour is strawberry-blonde. It varied a lot though depending on the season due to sun exposure (or lack of). In the summer it used to go very blonde with just a hint of ginger, but in the winter it was ginger with a hint of blonde. I always preferred my winter hair, and last summer it went quite ash blonde for some reason, which didn't suit me, so I started henna-ing.

I'm pleased with how natural a result I got. I mean in the sun it's obvious to anyone who uses henna that there's henna involved, but I suit ginger hair. I have very fair skin that burns rather than tans, and I'm freckly, especially in the summer, with green eyes, so it works. :)

The people that I've only met since I started henna-ing have all thought it was natural, I tell them it's henna if they actually ask but when they don't I'm happy to go along with it. :p

I just added an album on my profile entitled "Old School". There are pictures there of my hair when I was 11/12/13 years old. It was very long back then and you can see what my strawberry-blonde used to look like. :)

Congrats on getting your upload to work! Your hair is beautiful, you are really close to bsl, I'm on my way there myself, but I'll be a while yet.

Thanks everyone. I'm beaming. :)

Yes, I'm not far off BSL at all. I'm just skimming the top of the strap, so it shouldn't be too long before I get to the bottom of it.

Then I'll be off on the long road from BSL to waist! :)

Your hair color does look quite natural! It's very pretty! The length is nice, too.

It's not often I see someone with the same hair color as me. Your natural color is so close to mine! Mine gets blonder in the summer and redder in the winter, but I am definitely a strawberry blonde. My hair has been much lighter since I've been living here (obviously.)

Wow, that really is similar! :)

If mine had stayed properly strawberry blonde I'm pretty sure I'd never have coloured it at all. I never did during my teenage years! I loved my hair colour.

It just got so ashy and... eurgh... last summer. It looked awful. Nothing like it used to.

Your hair's lovely though. :) It's a very pretty colour (even if I do say so myself! :p).

ETA: I do love my henna, just to clarify. No regrets there at all. My hair did go ashy, so that's that. And I do really like being a proper ginger. :)
