I'm on my way...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

to longer hair!

I know it doesn't look like it yet...but give me about 9 months.......

And my hair will be longer, softer, and more feminine.........

I decided that it was time for something new!

It'll be longer (just below my ears) and softer......feathered around my face....

This is a preview!

What do you think?

[RevolutionaryActs]

1. I think you look lovely Peggy!

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear Rev_Acts!

Aw, thanks, sweetie!

I haven't had longer hair in *gasp* 40 years........

I wish it were longer right now!

Glad you like the pic.........:hug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. You could always get a wig.

:rofl:


:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. LOL!

Sure I could!

You are too funny, sweetie!

I'm not in that much of a rush!

:rofl:

:hug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. A long red wig, we could start calling you "Candy"....

:D

[av8rdave]

2. You look great

Bet the longer hair look will be very nice as well

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear av8rdave..........

Oh, thanks! I'm hoping so....

I had a pic that I showed my hairdresser today.........

From 40 years ago!

She thought it was doable!

Wish my hair grew faster, though..........:hi:

[av8rdave]

14. That's the trouble, isn't it?

It's so much faster to get rid of it than to get it back.

Reminds me of my first day at the Academy (many, many years ago). I showed up with mid-back length hair (it was the 70s, after all). Of course, one of the first things they do there is shave your hair. With 1500 incoming freshmen, it was done "assembly line" style. I sat in the barber chair, and when the barber turned around and saw my head of hair, he called another over to time him with a stopwatch.

He used some kind of electric clippers that he ran over my head in swaths, sort of like mowing the lawn.

It took him 22 seconds.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. Yikes! 22 seconds?

That must have been tough......

Even though you wanted to be there!

That's a great story........thanks for sharing it!

Some people have the luck of fast-growing hair......I'm not one of them!

:hi:

[buddhamama]

4. i think you're

radiant, beautiful regardless of hairstyle.

I hear you on the hair thing. I had had really long hair my whole life until just a few yrs ago. One day i woke up and decided i was ready for a change and cut it to my shoulder blades. :scary:

it looks good, CaliforniaPeggy. can't wait to see it 9 months from now. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear buddhamama...........

You are too kind, sweetie! Thanks.......

I can't wait either........Enough time to have a baby! LOL!

:hug:

[RFKHumphreyObama]

6. You look great already CaliforniaPeggy

But it will be interesting to see you with longer and softer hair -I'm sure that will be a great look as well.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear socialdemocrat!

You are so sweet to me.......

Thanks!

I'm curious as to how it will look too.......my face is not the same as it was when I was in my twenties!

:hug:

[calico1]

9. I think a little longer will frame your face

nicely. But I think you are lovely now too! The good thing about longer hair is you can put it up and away from your face. I like to do this when it's hot or I don't know what to do with it. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear calico1.......

Time will tell, won't it?

I'm glad you like how I look now, though.......

It won't be hugely longer, just down below my ears!

I can't really put it up, though......my stupid ears stick out!

:hi:

Oh, and......Thank you!

[petronius]

16. That is an excellent picture of you! (as always...)

Longer hair will be an interesting experiment - keep us informed!

I'd try to grow mine longer in solidarity with you, but it has already been demonstrated (according to my wife) that long hair doesn't work for me...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear petronius.........

Oh, thank you!

Now, you know there will be continuing pic threads! That's just my way...

It should be interesting indeed!

Glad you like the pic.........I was feeling very pretty today.....

And I appreciate your wanting to show solidarity.......but if long hair doesn't work, well then.......it doesn't work!

But I do appreciate your very good thought....:hug:

[livetohike]

18. You have such a warm, pretty, friendly face CalPeggy that

no matter how you wear your hair, your spirit will shine through.

I think longer will be a nice change and if you don't like it, you could always cut it :-).

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear livetohike!

Oh goodness..........you flatter me! I thank you.......

That is very sweet of you..........

I'm thinking it will be nice too......... :hug:

[fizzgig]

19. i can't wait to see the results

that's a fantastic pic, BTW, your smile just brigthens my day

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear kagehime.........

Oh, thank you so much!

I can't wait either......but I have to!

Wish my hair grew more quickly, but I have no control over that!

Glad you like my smile, sweetie......:hug:

[reyd reid reed]

24. I think that longer hair will be lovely...

Six months, you said?

We'll have to start calling you "Rapunzel"

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Rapunzel? That's a good one!

But that name would fit you better, sweetie!

Mine won't be anywhere near as long as yours is now....

It'll be just below my ears.....

And my hairdresser said....nine months! Just like a pregnancy....LOL!

And.....thanks for coming by... :hi:

[Arkham House]

26. Just be careful...

...our hearts can stand just so much...:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear Arkham House!

Wow........I'm speechless......well, almost!

I'll try not to overdo it, OK?

I mean, though........I have to post the occasional pic, so you can keep track of my progress........

Thanks......:loveya:

[Haole Girl]

28. Here's a tip for asking a stylist to simply trim your hair...

...instead of saying a half inch, or so (because mine always ends-up too short when I say that), I've learned to show them my pinky fingernail and say, "See this...no more cut off than this!" Works every time. Of course, I'll have to change my approach if I ever grow a long pinky fingernail!

Good luck...the "growing out phase" can get irritating...but hang in there!

Nice to see your smile, again, by the way! :-):loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. My dear KC2!

Thanks for the tip, sweetie! But I have a regular hairdresser.....

She knows my hair better than I do! We discussed just what the game plan was today......

And we did agree that this "growing out phase" was annoying, and would likely take far too long!

But the payoff will be good.......

Glad you like my smile! That won't change, you know! :loveya: :hug:
