At the moment my hair is my natural colour and too long. It will be short again soon as I am sick of it.
That's how it works for me. I go to the hairdresser about once a year, if that. This was at the student salon, though cheap, it takes literally hours. Because they mucked up my booking, the tutor cut my hair. Yay.
Orikes, sorry to use your thread as my personal salon and sorry you didn't get a fix.
