How do you wear your Hair?

Since I have to cover my hair when I'm in public, I got sick of having to fiddle with it, only to cover up whatever "do" I had. My hair used to be shoulder length and very thick. I began to get thinning hair at the crown perhaps due to over processing with chemicals. So after trying braids and twists when I stopped perming my hair, I finally decided to cut it real short. My hair was actually shorter than my husband's hair. :D And he kept his neatly trimmed. It's so much easier to care for now and I feel much freer! I never have dyed my hair and actually looked forward to it turning white (or silver). Some spots in the back are still black however.
 

I wear my hair long now and it has become more silvery grey the older I get
I have been going grey since my mid twenties and it runs in the family
I wear it long because when we were kids my mother would continually have my sister and my hair
cut into short back and sides which we hated....we vowed we would grow it when we became teens
We have long puffball hair now but she still colours it and her hair has become thinner with the colouring
When my hair is wet it is puffball hair....you know natural untidy ringlets
I do straighten my hair with a heated brush called a Dafni....works well and leaves my hair slightly wavy

I usually wear my hair shoulder length or when the mood takes me a pixie cut. However, during lockdown. I had a go at it myself and managed a short bob. To my surprise hubby said it suited me, so that's going to be my stye for a while!

I really like the latest style in bobs where the back is shorter than the front and accentuates the thickness of the hair. That’s a really nice style. It’s great that your husband likes it.
 
I wear my hair short and have for many years. My hair is very thick and heavy and wavy. I can't stand the way it looks and feels if it gets long. We bought some clippers when the pandemic started and my husband has been cutting it. It actually looks about the same as when the hairdresser cut it.

I have been a natural blond most of my life and when I got much older my hair turned a dingy color. At this point it's a few inches past my shoulders and I really want to get it cut shorter for the summer.
 
I usually just have my hair straight.. but when I go to the salon I get waves put in just using the dryer

This was pre-lockdown ( our salons open up again tomorrow..wooohoo)

I forgot to add that I color my hair now a little bit darker than what my original color was and I also like to make it other shades of blond at times and sometimes a lighter shade of red or reddish blond. I also usually wear it straight but occasionally I will curl it with curlers.
 
We are in another lock-down, but when it's lifted, I must get to the hairdresser.
My hair has gotten so long .. like when I was in my teens. It's making me feel too warm.
I wear it straight, but will be getting a chin length blunt-cut or bob.

If you were to let your hair dry naturally and then brush it with a regular hair brush, would it look something like this?

I wonder how long this lock down is on for.
Do you straighten your hair also?
Is your hair naturally curly. It doesn’t look to be from your pictures but I could be wrong.

My hair is straight, except for the front that has a natural wave .. I use a straightener on my fringe/bangs.

As far as I know, we were told this lock-down is for 4 weeks.

A bob would look really cute on you.
Do you ever wear your long hair up by twirling it around and sticking a pencil through it?
 
i have always coloured my hair --i wear it in a pony tail some days -
but long most days, i have blonde hair with added hi -lites .. just shoulder length/:)

I used to wear it in a high pony tail or bun, but not anymore. I find it less hassle to care for when it's shorter. Now that the humidity levels are rising, the hair tends to get frizzy. Thank goodness for straighteners!

I’ve never tried a straightener but my hair gets frizzy in humid weather which is why I usually have it in a braid or two at the back. Sometimes I keep it up but it’s not comfortable in the car, or sitting down in general if you are leaning back.
I wish my hair suited a bob. They sure are cute.
 
Short & grey. I gave up colouring in mid 60s. Best decision for freedom. In normal times I’d be getting it cut every 5-6 weeks; it is thick and grows fast. During Covid times, it’s still cut at about 6 weeks - with the thinning shears. I do a crappy job, so there’s no tip needed, other than to maybe stop doing it myself.

How do you figure that not coloring hair is best for freedom? I just don't get what you're talking about.
