My hair practice doll

[BelleBot]

Just thought I'd share a pic of how I practice my updos when I don't want to touch my own hair. He's 6 foot 2, very tolerant, has tailbone length hair type 2c / M / ii. Very useful for experimenting with hairstyles :p

However he refers to LHC as the large hadron collider and thinks Ficcares look like "shiny poos". Not exactly LHC material, he's just glad he has a member of LHC as his girlfriend to braid his hair and keep it happy and healthy. :rolleyes:

And here's how it translates to my hair. Both are variations of the flipped cinnamon bun.

How many inches long is tailbone hair in someone 6'2? Do you have a full length picture of his hair? How fascinating!

[Gumball]

Haha excellent! It gives you a whole different perspective when working through a new style. From the pictures, it sure pays off!

No shiny poos for him! :lol:

[triumphator!]

Aw, longhaired couples are the best.

[Chestershire]

wow, your hair color is beautiful!

[baaaad_kitty]

How awesome is that? I wanna see pics! Of both of your hair!

[cocolady]

That's awesome :D Even from behind he looks very attractive to me. I'm hopeless lol I adore long haired men. My bf had really long hair when I met him. Not anymore though. :(

[Harriet]

oo looks lovely on both of you!

[KittyLost]

Haha you are very lucky to have a loving boyfriend who lets you practice on him, it is very cute :)

Lovely updo, I'm always admiring your colour too. Is that the poppy red and tulip faded? I have some poppy red that I was hoping to mix with something for a darker red that would still fade nicely.

[Grille]

i want a such a practice doll, too :D

[maxzeen]

I want a practice doll too! It's cute your boyfriend lets you practice on him, and your hair color is very pretty.

[Unofficial_Rose]

What an accommodating chap! Whereas my DS (15) has almost waist-length hair, which he won't even let me braid.

(When he was a little younger he let me put it up in a hairstick a couple of times though. :))

[Kome]

HOW did you get that hair color??? I must know. O__O Beautimus...

[pepperminttea]

Please tell me you sometimes go out with matching updos? Because while I don't normally like the couply-matchy-match thing, with hair, it'd be an entirely different (more awesome) level. :D

[Yozhik]

How lucky and convenient for you to have such a nice hair practice doll -- I totally thought you were going to show us a mannequin! :p

I love the bun on both of you! :flower:

[BelleBot]

It's still a mixture of henna, "poppy red" and "tulip" Directions. The colour has lasted for ages. I need to touch up the roots though soon as they're a mixture of brown, blonde, ginger and red :p Though they're not hugely noticeable, they fade quicker than the length as they're the only bits that get shampooed regularly.

I think SO's hair is about 43" long, he lets me measure it every now and then, but not today. Annoyingly enough he has my next goal length hair, but given he's 10 inches taller his hair is still at tailbone, where as mine is nearly at mid butt :D I'll try get a photo of it down when I can.

Oh and we don't go out with matching hair. He'll only keep an updo for about 5 minutes before asking me to do something else. When we're out and about he either wears it down or in an English braid or rope braid.

Interesting to use a model, but does styling another personal's hair help you style your own?

Wow, he is very tolerant. What a great bf. :)

I asked to practice cornrows once on my bf, and he gave me a look like I asked if I could drive bamboo shoots up his finger nails. ;)
