Mom Has the Last Word

Rainbow hair is in the teens say, A Mohawk please, I told Miss Bee. That would truly make my day My mother heard these words you see. Conservative cut is staying, A smart choice, as she is paying.

I was never that adventurous with my hair as a teenager. Not even as I got older. Sometimes they actually look pretty cute!!! I enjoyed this, Caren.

Andrea, I have such thick hair, you could give me a buzz and it would be back down to my ears in about 20 minutes. I have been ruthless with it.

Sure made me smile Caren and its amazing how many kids come back after the holidays with 'interesting' hair colour and they have to get it altered as it's against school rules. Wish I'd dared to be more adventurous... I did have it cut shortish and bleached blonde when I worked as a private nanny, will have to see if I can find an old pic so I can have a giggle and red highlights once lol:-) hugs jan xx

I have had every color Jan, mostly as an accident, especially when I dyed it navy blue in the 70's. We had to shave it off to get people to quit starting, yet, they still did.
