Hey guys. :) Today, I decided to become a modern day hippie. After my hair was blown out, I had a pair of flowers bobby pinned to my hair right behind my ear. Enjoy the pics everyone. :blossom:

I looked. Real flower? Silk?

How is your hair feeling after all the processing?

Now you have to look at my new photos (album).

[Kome]

Aw, that's really pretty. I like it. I love putting flowers in my hair in the summer. They're fun to clip in and I feel all tropical with them in. :P

[Peter]

I still can't believe how your hair has stood up so well to the extreme color change. I like the flower though. Cool stuff. :)

Also, respect for wearing it in public the way you want it, despite societal expectations. I admire that!

[ericthegreat]

Thanks spidermom and Kome. :flower: :flower:

They're real flowers spidermom. I bought a fresh bouquet of them this morning.
And my hair is just as shiny and strong as it always. I'm telling you guys, my hair is made of steel!

Edit: Thanks Peter :flower: Today, I really wanted to show the world that I am different, and I'm proud to be different.

[Ivy~Rose]

The color is just right for the flower--it suits you and your loose hair so well! Very nice, very hippie :) I like it!

[JenniferNoel]

Ooh the flowers look beautiful! I always have some kind of flower in my hair but I use fake silk ones. Haha.
Your hair color is still looking fabulous too. :D

[IcarusBride]

It looks lovely! I think if you went out like that, you'd get a lot of people asking you if you are Hawaiian :D

[Loreley]

Very pretty! :heart:

[Gypsygirl]

Cute, Eric! ;)

[jackiesjottings]

Looks really pretty :) I have to admit being very hippyish all the time so I love flowers in my hair :)

[eamane]

Very summery and cute :)

[Juanita]

If you were wearing frangipani you would look Balinese

[*Rose Red*]

Really nice!

[Nae]

How fun!!! You make me want to find a beach and a pina colada! I really love how you always stay true to you. Props man, mad props!

[Pallas]

I :heartbeat flowerchild :)

[ericthegreat]

Oh wow thanks everyone! :grouphug: :blossom:

Ivy Rose and jackiesjottings, I really wanted to not just look like but also channel the spirit of the late 60s.


Thanks Jennifer. :flower: I've always wanted to wear flowers in my hair, but I was too afraid of what other people who clearly wouldn't understand me would say to me. Today, I decided that I wasn't going to be afraid. :cheese:

Thank you again to everyone here. :flower: :flower: I really appreciate the love and support that you guys give on this forum.

[Angeletti]

this post is making me want to go out and find some wild flowers for my hair : )

[spidermom]

Hooray for not being afraid!

[saskia_madding]

Those look great on you! I love the hippie look and you pull it off flawlessly. :D

[princessp]

The flower looks very cute in your hair!

[linda g]

Risk-taking like that is good for the soul :) (Looks good, btw, very peaceful)

[maybe sparrow]

Very cute. I love hair flowers.

[little_acorn]

It's very cute Eric :flower:

[Deb!]

Eric, you look wonderful. I'm now asking myself why I never wear a flower in my hair(do).



Are you a stylist?

[sarah061]

Your hair looks so amazing. I love the flower :)

[vanity_acefake]

you look great. So cute. I love flowers in long hair. So summer of love.

[CrystalStar]

That looks really pretty and creative. :) I admire your bravery in going against social norms!

[EtherealOde]

I remember one day when I was maybe 6 or 7. My Dad wanted to take a drive down Haight Ashbury Street in San Francisco. We were in our little Volkswagon Beetle, a very 60's car. My Dad stopped and bought an issue of the Berkley Barb, some underground newpaper I think. And he bought me and my 2 little sisters each a strand of love beads from some hippies that were there. It was a very cool day. :)

The only thing you needed was a pair of blue or rose tinted glasses and love beads! The flowers are lovely, it makes me want to get some now.

[Yozhik]

What a pretty daisy! It suits your hair very well :)

I'm glad you have the confidence to wear it, and I can tell that you are rocking that look!

[emmebean]

Very nice, love it

[TrudieCat]
