Hair!

 Do you go to a salon or do your hair at home? I used to spend over $100 every 5weeks at the salon.  Now I do my hair at home. 
I cut my hair upside down and I buy my dye from Sally's.

I do a vinegar rinse every other month.  I only wash my hair every 3days and use dry shampoo in between.  I only blow dry and straighten once a week but in the summer I let my waves be natural (mostly).

How do you cut your hair upside down??? I go to the salon every 3months for a cut....except now I haven't been since march and I'm dying! Lol I need my hair cut sooooooo bad....I haven't dyed or highlighted my hair in 3yrs...however I got natural highlights in my hair and before the twins were born I spent most my summers out in the sun at the pool with my older girls and got even better highlights lol

 LOL I used to just stand and bend over... cut it straight across and it gives some layers.  Now you would so laugh at me because I lay across my kitchen counter so my hair hangs over the edge and I brush my hair forward and cut it.  DH helped me this last time...he sat on a step stool, hehe!

I watched youtube vids for instructions ;)  There are ways to do it if you want that V shape in the back.

Lol she did, she was like Omg I hope you know what you're doing to your poor hair lol she sat and watched the whole time lol....she was impressed at how it turned out though....I've cut my bangs before, well I guess they aren't really bangs bc they are so long they go up in a pony tail with the rest of my hair lol ...I cut my 8yr olds bangs all the time...my bangs grow pretty fast so I'm not too worried lol...I still can't believe I cut my own hair lol...I just measure it...i cut 3.5 inches off lol ...I think I've lost it lol

 You are a brave lady! I don't blame her...my hair kept getting shorter and shorter I didn't have enough balls to say stop it!
I don't think I'll return to a salon until I'm an older lady that wants all my hair chopped off.  I plan to rock Mrs. Deen's hair color too! LOL
