I should ask Cher where she gets her hair

This weekend my good friends Lee and Diane took me for a haircut and wig shopping. Who wants to wake up each morning to 8+ inches of hair on your pillow? Not me! So, I got about 5 inches off and it now lands just below my ear. It's a pretty short do but is still 'tuckable' which is important to me!

I'll post a few pics and if you run across this blog you can vote for your favorite. Your opinions are welcome, but we're pretty determined the following looks best:

No, I'm not on crack. We hate this one. The following are viable options, however:

Highlights that don't need touched up every 6 weeks? No roots? Sign me up!

I tried my hand as a blonde. It didn't work. I have many, many more pics of styles that I will not subject you to. Redhead? Maybe. At the end of the day I think I'm a brunette for a reason. But, I do not want to drop several hundred dollars for a hairstyle I currently have, and can grow back in the next couple of years. Stubborn? Very likely.

We had a ton of fun. Every lady in the store sports a wig for various reasons. We about laughed our butts off when my assistant said "Cathy honey, whatever you do- don't stick your head in the oven." Ummm, what? I mean I know it's cancer but it should be treatable and I'm not taking any drastic action lady.

She was referring to exposing the wig to heat. Even the steam from freshly cooked spaghetti can ruin a wig. Once they frizz, I'm told there is no going back. So either I cook much less than I do now, or I sport a doo-rag in the kitchen.

I have so much hair I may not even lose it all, which I was told is a problem with most wigs. They need a buzz cut or bald head to cling to and not get the 'puffy scalp' look like we did while trying them on. Who knows- but it's nice to know I have options!! Blond might have been fun, but I guess I should stick to what I know.
