Just wanted to post for everyone! I went to a regency era dinner a few nights ago and the hair person I used did an awesome job at a period updo





This is with shoulder length hair too, not long hair. I had donated my hair recently for cancer.

Very nice Lisa. Thank you for taking the pictures and posting them.

To give a sense of how short my hair is, here's an image of me in December, I don't think I have anything more recent. So my hair is just a bit longer, barely to my shoulders now.

Sometimes hair that is your length is easier to put up - especially if it takes a curl well. Really long hair can be too heavy and pull the curls down or sometimes its hard to hide all the length - sort of winding it around and around and pinning it.

Right normally with my mid-back length hair I wouldn't have been able to have the curls at the side of my face, because the curls would have gone all the way down past my shoulders So that was a good thing, to have the shorter hair and be able to do those tendrils. I like having my hair all the same length in general, to fit into a ponytail.

We'll see going forward what I do. I really don't like short hair on me (above the shoulders) but right now it does go into a ponytail and is just at my shoulders. So I'll let it grow out mid-back but I may stop there this time. I may be getting to the point that the cancer donation places won't take it any more, due to me being almost 40.

I have never heard of a hair donation with an age limit. usually its condition and length requirements.

But I love the hairdo. Looks very good.

Well, as I age more of it gets gray

Thanks!

Apparently it's because gray hair is harder to give a rich colour to.

Lisa, you looked fabulous.

Wow, Lisa, you looked beautiful! Sounds like a great party!

It was very fun, we ate 1830s food like squash soup and roasted veggies
