My Hair is Almost This Length Minus the Bangs

Happy Happy Friday friends! As many of you know, it’s our Friday date night. I’m placing an order for grocery delivery in a few minutes, and after sanitizing it, my day is free. So, back to my hair. I refuse to risk my life going to my Connecticut hairdresser. He called over one month ago to tell me he’s opened for business. Masks for each of us. He now works from his house in an enclosed breezeway with one chair, one shampoo sink and chair, one dryer and chair, a display case containing his products and those for purchase, and an extra chair or two for clients. I’ve been going to him for years, and we are good friends. He often invites me into his house for a drink and a visit with his husband. The best part is that he lives in my town and is a three minute drive away. I told him I just can’t come in. I can’t do it. I can’t risk my life for a haircut. He understands. So what if it’s getting long again? Hubby and my son think it’s a nice change and like it. I’m making do with it. I may even curl it for Friday date night!

I think it looks good, almost a 70s look. You look younger too. Love the sunglasses. I love that picture of you.

Well, the photo isn't that old. lol. We were in Switzerland on Lake Lucerne after being on the tippy top of a mountain. Many thanks. Those are Chanel sunglasses and still wear them at times. I get a new pair every year.

@just4him Perhaps they fell under the seat of the car. That's where I usually find mine.

@DianneN I need sunglasses. My sister gave me a pair, but they disappeared when my son had the car for a month. No one knows what happened to them. I keep forgetting to buy them until I see them as I walk out of the store. One of these days I'll remember going in. You're welcome.

Thanks, Thelma. It's good enough for now. At least it's long enough to put up in a ponytail when I play tennis or walk on a hot and humid day. I look like.a jerk, but it feels better.

They all should be closed in my opinion. Masks are one thing, but there is no way to social distance yourself. Good for you!

I don't like doing those things anyway, I have no problem cutting my hair myself. Actually I learned years ago. I bet your husband likes your hair long anyway. Most men I have known like womens' hair long. It looks really cute in the picture! I was about to color my hair and can't find the darned box. Might have to spring for another one. I was going to try to get a lighter color. Might as well experiment when nobody is seeing me haha. Enjoy date night!

My husband can't stand short hair on women. I hope you find your box, but I'm sure that if it turns up in several months, you'd be able to still use it. . This virus isn't going anywhere so fast. You are right! It's the perfect time to experiment!!!! Many thanks!

@LadyDuck I'm glad you will leave your hair just as your husband likes it. My husband always likes my hair length just as long as I don't look like a man.. He absolutely hates short hair on women, no matter how beautiful they may or may not look. My avatar photo is as short as he can stand it. Thanks! I intended to have a beauty day, but hubs told me to wash that mask off my face and get myself ready for a ride in the sports car. We took a lovely ride in the countryside with the top up and no stopping. Once we returned home, it was martini time and the rest of the night went beautifully.

Yes, and you are right, Anna. We went directly to the watch store and then the Chapel Bridge. Typical. Loved it! Many thanks. I just received a grocery store delivery and sterilized it. Then our son stopped by outside to say hi. Looking forward to tonight. I need some ME time right now. Have a happy evening!

I love your hair at shoulder length! I use to keep my that long and it was simple to maintain. I wore a bobbed cut for three years and loved it! The only problem, with bone straight hair when it grew an inch, the bottom wouldn't curl under. I liked the pageboy cut at my chin line. Now, it's long, simply because I couldn't go to a beautician every 6 weeks.

Thanks, Kharla! My younger son told me he didn't like my hair so short, and my husband never liked women with short short hair. Some tell me I look more youthful with it shorter, and others like it long. Me, I have no idea! My hair isn't bone straight, unfortunately. I wish it were. I had it straightened many years ago and bone straight hair looked awful on me. The only good thing was that I could let it dry naturally and it came out straight. I love your hair chin length and long. You are so lucky!!!

@DianneN I have tried to use hair-ties or barrettes, but they slide out! My hair is baby fine, everything damages it, sun, wind, washing it often, dye, bleach, permanents, hair-care products, most shampoos and conditioners. It's a pain in the neck!
