TPT-Third Person Tuesday...
Lorelai thinks the Novembies should do something a wee bit different this week... (since Kimmy inspired her...)
THIRD PERSON TUESDAYS... HAIR POLL
(are you)
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length?
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)?
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)?
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc?
**And don't forget==THIRD PERSON! Lorelai couldn't figure out how to ask in 3rd person so she's loser of the day, but she's completely fine w that!**
Re: TPT-Third Person Tuesday...
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? Kait does not like her hair, she would rather be a red head with long hair that she could actually figure out how to style.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Kait answered above...oops. She would like to add, super long hair like middle of the back with beautiful big curls.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? Kait's job sucks and she has to wear it back and up, usually in a ponytail with a bandanana over it.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc? Kait would like to know how to get hair to grow? She once had it to the middle of her back and cut it to donate it, now 7 years later she cant get it to go past her shoulders.
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? Lauren is satisfied with her current hairstyle. She usually has the same hairstyle, just plays around a little with length. Lauren's hairstyle (and color):
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Lauren would prefer to change her actual hair vs. hairstyle--she'd love it if her hair were a little thicker and could hold style better. She has a lot of very fine hair, and it always seems flat to her. Lauren wants more volume.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? These days Lauren tends to wear her hair back in a bun or ponytail because she has no energy to actually blow-dry and style it. But, she loves when she has time to actually style it and make it look nice down. The problem is...Lauren will never wear her hair down if it's only been able to air dry. It needs help to look decent.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc? Lauren's hair grows super fast...but thankfully she has a good colorist so her highlights always blend well. Makes it much nicer that Lauren can stretch out the time between hair appointments (and save a little $).
This made Kimmy LOL! She is glad she could be so inspirational!!
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? She would have to say yes, but she is still getting use to it!
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Kimmy would like to hire someone to come to her house and style it every day. Maybe she could convince DH's sister to move in with them...
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? Well since it's so short, she thinks her only option now is down!
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc? Kimmy loves changing up her hair. She never keeps it the same for too long. She is lucky to have a wonderful SIL would cuts it for her. She colored it once in college and that was a big mistake. If Kimmy still had the pink hair pictures she would totally post them for you ladies!
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? Ha! Right now, Lorelai is in DESPERATE need of color... She'd love to be a redhead, but her dark eyebrowns and skin tone tend to not lead her that way... Right now, she's sporting some lovely gray patches-like Stacy on WNTW.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? See above-also, Lorelai would love a little bit thicker hair, but the gray is coming in thicker, so that should help.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? Lorelai wears a stupid barrette like a 10 year old. She adds a pony tail and a lovely bandana when she works out due to being a sweat hog. She'd love to wear it down, but someone thought they should cut a layer and make it look like a bowl by her ears, so it's up.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc? Lorelai colors it a solid color-Dark Brown... mainly. She's got some lovely stripes going on due to needing it dyed.
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? Amber is not really satisfied with her current hair style and length. Amber doesn't mind the color although she would like a few more highlights and low lights put in.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Amber would love to try extensions just to see what they would look like on her.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? Amber normally wears her hair down since it's too short to do anything else with.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc? Amber does not color her hair herself or she would look a hot mess. Amber used to pay a lot and go to high end salons but now just goes to hair cuttery and found a gal she likes there.
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? Wendi is rather satisfied with the current hairstyle, but it's still in the growing out phase, and that frustrates Wendi.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Wendi would love long, curly hair. Wendi would also like it to be a lighter shade of red, but no matter what color the box says, it always looks dark auburn.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? Wendi got a perm about 6 weeks ago, so it's down and curly all the time.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc? Wendi colors it herself. She is going to try to find a lighter color for summer, or maybe go back to the kits that have a highlight color in the box as well, Wendi thinks it's too dark for summer right now.
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length?
Sheri is absolutely satisfied with her hair cut and color. Sheri DOES wish her hair wouldn't take so freakin' long to grow out though, she misses her long hair and wants it to grow back, like, yesterday.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)?
Sheri would make her hair longer.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)?
Normally Sheri has her hair either down and parted to the side, or half up in a barrette.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc?
Sheri has learned to not color her hair herself, nothing but bad things come of it. Sheri gets her hair highlighted (or at least will from now on) professionally.
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? Kristy would love to get some funky layers, but taxes just stabbed her bank account. She'd also like to get her blonde highlights back. She's ok with the length, a little longer would be nice.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Kristy has always wanted to be a redhead. Her natural hair color is the most boring, mousy, light brown on the planet. She'd love a little more volume, but otherwise her hair texture/growth speed/style ability are nice. Kristy's plan is to lose 20lbs and get a blonde pixie cut!
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? Kristy wears it down normally, unless it's hot or (like Lauren) has air dried weird, or she's working out. Kristy doesn't like the way it looks up though, she has a small head and it just looks bad.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc? When Kristy has money, she gets it professionally done. Otherwise, she cuts and dyes it herself. And does a pretty good job! When it's short, she changes it all the time, but has been growing it out since the wedding.
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length?
Sierra is not satisfied with her hair right now.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)?
Sierra would love her hair to look like this. Color and all.
Maybe a little darker brown but still with the reddish tint.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)?
Sierra rocks the loop most days. You know the ponytail but not pulled all the way through on the last pull through.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc?
Sierra does not color her hair or get anyone to color her hair, but would like to. She's a color scaredy cat.
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length?
Cassie satisfied with her hair and kind of one of the color, but the style is just ok. She wished her part and bangs would be less annoying.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)?
Cassie would like to be little less grey. She started going grey at 17 and now there's a big streak on the right side and it's resistant to coloring. 90% of the time you can even see it because it's under other hair but it's definitely noticeable when her hair is up.
Sometimes she wishes she had long hair but she kind of looks like a horse when it's long so maybe not.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)?
Cassie has a cycle. She washed her hair every other day with shampoo and just conditions on the second day. When hair is washed she blows it out, on conditioning days, she wears it wavy. By the end of the day, it's always tied up.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc?
Cassie colors her own hair. She gets it done professionally sometimes but it's expensive and she's cheap so lately she does it herself.
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length?
Jen likes her haircut - although it does need to be trimmed just to remove dead ends.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)?
Jen would love to get some thickness back. Sometime around when she was 16 her hair started thinning.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)?
Jen usually has her hair in a ponytail, but sometimes she leaves it down.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc?
Jen used to color her hair. She's rock the plum-red color that was slightly fake looking, but she could pull it off. Jen stopped do ing that when she got a real job because it was a little un-professional looking for a conservative work environment.

1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? Athena is ok with her current hairstyle but would be open to a new look if she could muster up the courage. Athena is happy with the color. She doesn't color it but has been told that people pay good money to get it the shade of blonde that she has.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Athena likes the idea of hair extensions because her hair only gets to shoulder length and stays there. But Athena doesn't like the idea of the price or the upkeep so will probably never get them.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? Athena normally wheres it down and parted to the side. Athena doesn't have bangs and thinks when it is pulled back she looks like a big giant head and that is scary.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc? Lately Athena has been pretty much a wash, brush and go person but she thinks that she needs to get up a little earlier so she can at least dry it a little more before heading to work.
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length?
Ashley LOVES her hair! It's her one physical feature she is generally happy with. Before she started dying it red, it looked just like this. But now she loves it even more being red and this style (finally is grown out and a nice length)
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)?
Ashley wouldn't change anything. Well, maybe she could deal with it being a little less static clingy on some days.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)?
Ashley usually wears her hair down, straight, and parted to the side, but has many different styles she does depending on her mood.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc?
Ashley gets her hair professionally dyed red right now and will for awhile, but will eventually go back to her natural color -- she really likes it too. She loves to play with her hair and has cut it all different way, most recent drastic cut was a bob right after her wedding. She's fortunate though because her hair grows quickly, so even a terrible cut doesn't stick for too long. But she hates the growing out period.
Now, she's letting it grow and it's finally a length she is loving. It looks nice straight and is great for styling. Ashley loves trying differnt styles, currently she wears it straight, straight with a headband, bobbypinned back on each side, scrunched, high ponytail with bangs down & parted to the side. She's sure there are lot of other ways too, but these are her favs. And of course when she works out, she sports the generic ponytail bun to keep her hair off her nasty sweaty stank.
Wendi is totally stealing this picture. That's exactly what Wendi wants!!
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? Jenny is ok with her current cut and length - she would like it to grow out a bit more. She has always been happy with her natural color, and won't dye it until it starts to really turn gray.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Jenny wishes she had nice, thick hair. Jenny's hair is very fine and very thin, so she looks practically bald any time she tries to straighten her hair! Jenny would like thick, wavy, mid-length hair.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? Jenny normally wears her hair mostly down, with a pin holding one side off her face, or the very top pulled back with bobby pins.
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? Carli is NOT satisfied with her hair. It is long and one length and plain Jane! Carli's color is fine. Carli does not like to dye her hair, so thank goodness Carli likes the color!
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Carli would cut her hair and make it more fun...Carli planned to do that before she had Sadie, but it just didn't happen. Carli needs to make an appointment and then she will post pictures.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? Now, Carli goes with the wash and go look because there are only so many minutes for Carli to shower and get ready while the baby sleeps! Carli's hair is either in a ponytail, bun or pinned back in a bump if Carli is feeling sassy!
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc? There is nothing else to share about Carli's hair. It's boring, but Carli will keep you posted about a new look!
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Kirsten would grow it ALOT longer, but thinks she is getting to old for that.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? Kirsten wears her hair up alot.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc? Nope, thats about it.
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? Breanne is okay with the current style and needs to call to get it trimmed. She doesn't color her hair anymore, but if the grays keep peeking through she'll start.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Breanne has half and half hair. The hair on the top of her head and the sides has great natural curl. The hair underneath is practically board straight. Breanne's dad has curly curly hair and her mom has straight straight hair. So Breanne would have one or the other. She'd also like to have more hair- she has thin, fine hair.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? When Breanne's hair has a good cut she can put some curling mousse in and scrunch it up and let it air dry. Which is what she does most days. She keeps a couple clips/ponytail holders for quick fixes at work when needed.
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? Kirstin is very happy with her red hair. She gets compliments on it all the time... though she is getting bord with it, but doesnt want to change it cause she likes to get compliments and it is a really pretty color on her. She is not satisfied with the length. She wishes hair could grow over night.
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Kirstin would make her hair long again. She really liked it when it was the length it was for the wedding.
(up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? Kirstins only choice with her current cut is down...all.the.time. She hates that. She does sometimes wear a headband in it, but her hair is still technically down. Gah
THIRD PERSON TUESDAYS... HAIR POLL
(are you)
1. satisfied with your present hairstyle-cut, color, length? Amy likes her current cut/color/length
2. if you could change anything about it-whether realistic or not-what would that be (pic are great, too!)? Amy wishes it was long and that she could curl it a la Carrie Underwood, but her hair does not obey the curling iron, no matter how much hairspray she uses.
3. How do you wear your hair normally... (up, down, barrette, ponytail, etc...)? Amy's hair requires daily flat ironing, otherwise it looks a mess. Amy wears it down. Currently (on lazy days) Amy can capture some hair in a ponytail, but must bobby pin the hell out of the top b/c its not long enough to get in the ponytail.
4. Anything else?... Do you color it yourself, change it up, etc? Amy wishes she was happy with her natural hair color because maintaining coloring/highlighting is wicked expensive.
