The History of Khrome's Hair

The Rice Bowl - A common cut for asian kids.  Aptly named for it's shape.  It resembles something that looks like you put a rice bowl over your head and cut around it.  I had this til I was about 6

Mom Hair - As some girls wanted, I wanted hair like my mom.  Short with a permed wave.  She was against it, but finally gave in.  All I can say is... Listen to your mother.

Blunt Bang's - for most of elementary school, I had blunt bangs while the back grew out.  Usually kept the sides up in a ponytail holder.

Duck Tail - aka An Experiment with Hair Products.  I cut my hair like a pixie and slathered gunk and goo so the back of my head resembled a duck.  I did not know it resembled a duck, until my mom kindly pointed that out after the fact.  This was 7th-8th grade.

So High You Can Reach the Sky - 80's was all about who could have the highest bangs.  I am proud to be able to architect a wall of hair that can withstand 83.254 MPH wind gusts.  This style lasted until my junior year of high school, with various lengths in back.  The back was always blunt.  I also did the Sun-In thing and stuff to make your highlights blue that never seemed to work.

In Between - I wanted an A-cut bob, but I couldn't bare to cut off all my hair at once.  So I just cut the sides and wore the back in a nape ponytail for about a year.

ByeBye Long Hairs - I finally cut the long parts of my hair into a proper a-cut bob.   My hair was so thick and course, it didn't lie flat at the nape.  So I just shaved it to about 5mm, maintaining it about every 3 weeks.  This was the last year of high school.



The Neverending Bob - And so, the bob lived on.. 5 years.. 10 years.. 15  okay maybe not that many.  About 11 years.  The only thing I really did different during that time was bleach the front of my hair and used semi-permanents. Loved the colors, but the mainetnance was a drag!



The Return of the Hair - no, not Star Wars Part 7.  As I mentioned in my post under Introductions, I had back surgery and didn't get to trim my hair while in recovery.  So I decided to go for a change and go long!
Also, got rid of the bleached parts and went for hi-lifts to make my hair a golden brown.  This was the in-between cut (got layers)



This was is about a year ago:



The Present and the Future - And that brings us up to today!  I was striving for the Namie Amuro look in this pic (she's a Japanese pop star) not so much the color but the cut.  But my hairdresser tells me she looks like she has extensions.  



I don't want it so much anymore, but I do like having layers (tho it seems like a long hair faux pas.)  That's because if I decide to have a "wavy day" it looks better with layers.

Will post latest length later.

Edit to add a section I forgot

- I hate to admit this but I recognize and have had every single one of those haircut/do's - of course, I'm OLDE, so I do have an excuse *snork*.

While you are very cute in all those pics - I do believe this latest trend is the best, of course we are not biased around here or anything, and you can always keep the pink  8) ...g

Your hair is lovely...I'm definitely liking the long pretty hair much better, though I am not ashamed to admit I am biased. lol I also see you like Hello Kitty...I am big HK fan, I have sooo many things Hello Kitty. People think its scary! I look forward to getting to know you and your hair.

Well, today I think I may have hit a milestone.  I got my first "real" jewelry box.  Actually, it's a jewelry armoire with cherry finish and Queen Anne legs, courtesy of Walmart.  For the last few weeks I've been looking for something to store my growing collection of hair sticks.  The mini bamboo pot full of rice was getting a little crowded, plus I wanted something to keep the sticks from getting dusty.  For the last few days I was eyeing a mahagony watch case, with glass top, online.  But I was at Walmart today and saw the armoire which was $5.00 less and had more storage space.  It also solved the problem that I have a couple of pieces of "nice" jewelry that I didn't want to keep jumbled up and tangled with the fancy stuff.

The armoire looks nice, especially with the blue and white pot of rice on top.  I decided to still use the pot because it's handy when putting sticks on or off.

Anyway, it's a milestone because I NEVER thought I'd be the type of person to own a jewelry armoire.    I feel so grown up - HAHAH.  But I had to.  I have a new pair of LL sticks coming soon (so excited!) and they need a place to sleep.

Hmmm, I hope the sticker matches the banana stickers that I already have on my bike helmet!   

Khrome...I just have to tell you this! I was reading your most recent post and clicked to see your profile...When I saw 32, I was stunned. Not saying 32 is old, because it is most certainly not...But I really thought you were maybe 19-22! You look absolutely lovely!
