I have a hair proposal. Would you be interested in a weekly hair makeover-type post?
Here’s what I’m thinking. I would post a submitted photo of a reader’s current hairstyle (someone wanting a change, of course), gather the necessary information, find some additional photos of new alternatives, and have you vote on which style you think would be best.
That way, I could satisfy my “hair-consulting” addiction, but let’s face it, I’m not the be all and end all of hair knowledge. This is a democracy, remember? Everyone should be able to put their two cents in. (PLEASE, for the love of God.)
Hopefully, by the end of each Thursday, we will have a highly-irritated participant who is being pulled in thirty different directions.
AWESOME.
What say you? We could start this week!
(I might be getting a little ahead of myself. Maybe next week.)
(Um, that is if someone wants to be the lucky inaugural hair participant. If so, email me at hair@whoorl.com.)
In other news, my stylist just called and bumped my appointment up to tomorrow. EEK!
UPDATE:
If you all are interested, you need to send me an email at hair@whoorl.com so I can put you on the list. The list is being formed first come, first served by the order of emails I receive. Once I have your email, I will send you a hair-questionnaire and request photos. I have filled September and early October, but I’m also thinking of doing 2 people each Thursday to keep the waiting time shorter.

August 28, 2007 at 7:31 pmI love that you’re hair-obsessed. It makes me happy. And this is a fab idea, if I do say so myself.
Good luck with the bangs, by the way. You will be lovely regardless!

August 28, 2007 at 8:20 pmThat sounds really interesting! Between that, DeLush, and The Advice Smackdown, all of my beauty blog needs would be met ;)

August 28, 2007 at 8:28 pmI would read that! I love a good makeover story!
Unfortunately, I have a hair appt this Thursday to chop my locks…and I will have to do it without the input of the Internet. GAH! Do I dare?!

August 29, 2007 at 4:54 amOoh, I’m a new reader, but I love this idea!

August 29, 2007 at 5:40 amYes! My hair needs to look fabulous for my college reunion next month, and I desperately need some advice.
Pam
August 29, 2007 at 6:42 amI would totally be down with this idea, and will even submit myself as a candidate for advice! (But probably not until next week.)
Good luck with the cut! I think bangs would look great on you! But don’t blame me if they don’t. ;=)

I felt like you were giving me a subliminal message with that ending EEK! It’s been my nickname since I was about 7 years old. Ya know like, EEK! for Christ’s sake! Looking at you and that horrible head ‘o hair! It hasn’t been cut in ages! *hangs head in shame* Which is true…besides me hacking away at it in my own home.
Alright then, batter up!

August 29, 2007 at 5:49 amI’d be so addicted to this! And once I grow my hair out a bit more, I’d even be willing to be a victim/lucky participant.

August 29, 2007 at 6:04 amYes, yes, yes! Wonderful idea. If you do it, I’ll be among the first in line to submit my hair. I desperately need a haircut (since it’s been, um, roughly two years) but I have NO idea what to do with it.

Please.

August 29, 2007 at 7:40 amYes! You would be the PERFECT person to do this. I go through stupid cycles of trying to grow out my hair, getting impatient with it once it grows down to my shoulders, cutting it, blaming the stylist for cutting it too short, then promising myself to grow it out again. STUPID! I’m trying to grow it out again, but we’ll see how long that lasts. I’m def submitting myself for your advice! Can we get our names on a list or something?? :)
