Do what YOU want. Im 60 and been coloring for decades and have decided to just stop. I am who I am.
Girl, your hairdresser probably wanted to make sure color coverage met her satisfaction and hair would need to be dry. However, I totally get it. Been there, done it. As far as opinions - they are just that, opinions - baaaahaha. Thankful for the recent appraisals from video call! Everyone should utilize this opportunity!!! Go swim now🤣
Do NOT get your hair wet if you’re going in a chlorine pool. The chlorine will strip your color.
Try ChatGPT with a facial photo and it will show you what looks good for you. It’s Hairstyle Analysis
I have been coloring my hair since I was 14. People are always going to have an opinion. Some might be helpful some just don't like their own look. Did I hear you slip and say dating? If so, so happy for you!
I just came to the comments to see how much everyone will disagree on what’s best for you. 😉 You do you. I understand with media you don’t want to go grey yet. You dress beautifully.
Your hair always looks great. Don’t you just love when people just have to give you their opinions!🤷♀️
Not gray!!! SILVER!
Put a cap on in the pool!!
Some people’s children ! You’re looking great! Don’t do anything permanent to your hair besides color. If you want different then play with combs, styles, parts, etc. My go to is pull mine up in pony tail high, then push it up and place a comb. It gives me instant height and is different. Also scrunch it with gel for some curl with a side part. I’m low maintenance all the way
I agree to live your own life. I listen to myself because I have 3 sons and a husband that all have opinions. BTW the chlorine in the pool may give you a new shade!
I say wear your hair the way you like it . If you like something it will make you feel better , you might get a haircut that they think you need , but if you dont like it you’ll react that way . Do you let them get their hair cut the way they want . ( by the way I’ve been a hairdresser for 50 plus years i do what people want me to do , unless i know they will regret it )
As a cosmetologist myself this is what I would suggest. First off with your skin tone and eye color you fall into the seasonal analysis of the Autumn season colors. So I think your hair color needs to be warm tones. Sure, brown works but to add a little red auburn would be spot on. You could do a little bang of some sorts to face frame and bring out attention to your big beautiful eyes. And keep your makeup colors compatible with the autumn season colors. You can look up more details for added tips. Love you, and your professionalism. ❤️💪😍
Seriously? What the hell does that person look like? Love your hair cut!
Nobody's business
Just be you! There must be a stylist that's wants a free valuation..... take advantage of that ! Your beautiful and stop reading all I know better ....with no thoughts or ideas ..... ask the chick's at the Pittsburg tv station to give u a free makeover all you do for them ....ppl would luv it !!! And you deserve it girl ! Then pay it forward ! You are fabulous enjoy your weekend
i’m making dogs hair look good today haha. i usually don’t groom on fridays but i have an out of towner that had to drive up here after a half day of work. so here i am. get to go do some creative projects after this though, yay!
After is the one!!
Your hair looks fine. Dr. Lori is a strong swimmer
Oh..noooo. Don't get it wet if you are going into chlorine water!!!!
I’ve always thought your hair looks fine. The only thing that irks me with hair, grey. I started coloring mine about 2 years ago. To rid me of the white hair. It around my face like a flashlight. It’s so annoying. I don’t want to become a slave to my hair. I do the color a couple times a a year myself. I’m not visiting the salon every month or two. I get my hair cut every other month for $22. I use hot rollers every morning which takes less than 10 min. as I brush my teeth. I don’t worry what people think about my hair. It’s fine. And so is your hair.
I like the dark color. In my experience I always go home and restyle it anyways. So I get not getting it styled because your going swimming.
I had been dying my hair medium auburn for years AND THEN THE GRAY SET IN .. lol .. it looked like I had bald spots when my roots would start to come in .. I found a product called OOPS that stripped the color out and then I put on a PLATINUM BLOND and never looked back .. I couldn't believe how gray I really was but I like it .. We have to do what makes US HAPPY and forget what someone else thinks ... Sometimes it's hard to get used to a new style and we are better off keeping what we are used to .. I wish you the best with whatever you decide
You do what you feel comfortable with, but I have to say a few months ago when you teased us with hairstyles and the grey/no grey question, I remember that there was one that was created by AI (I think) had you with bangs and a touch of grey. I thought that was an awesome look. Play around some more with new styles if you want. I just had had my stylist do a cut with a layered look. Not too drastic but different than keeping my hair one length. You’re awesome anyway.
Swimming in a pool right after color.?

Do you feel safe? Too stupid. ... See MoreSee Less
I wouldn’t have it.
We bought this last week. It has kale in it no lettuce and it was good
I would not be able to take that. On side note, I love that salad, but haven’t eaten any since the “scare.”
I wouldn’t touch it. The only lettuce I would eat is out of our garden
I can see a lot of workers compensation claims for hearing damage happening. Fun fact I've never been to a Costco.
I’d be out of there in a hurry!!
I couldn’t do any shopping. Would get a headache!
Msybe they need to change the battery.
Is it a dont buy lettuce alarm?
not yet.
I can't believe they let that alarm go 3 weeks, let me see the manager and then/or facilities maintenance person, doesn't make sense radar is going off.
I’m done with lettuce for a while!
They should keep calling the fire dept. Shouldn’t be working with that going on.
It would be fair to identify WHICH COSTCO? (no r)
I could not stand it and would probably trigger a migraine! I would have left immediately‼️‼️ pretty sad that no one knows why OR gives a 💩 to do anything, what message is this sending Dr. Lori?
I was in Costco this afternoon i saw this to buy our Costco in Cranberry wasn’t going off
Rediculous! Most folks hold no responsibility or are accountable for their jobs these days. Also, dealing with doctor's office and radiologist offices - can't get to a human. Can't talk to the doctor! Absolutely infuriating!!! 🙁
That’s ridiculous. Bring in the professionals!
I wouldn't be able to shop! They are probably losing a lot of money by people walking out!
Maybe if nobody went shopping there because of the annoyance-they'd figure out how to shut it off. The poor workers!
I feel sorry for the employees
3 weeks is ridiculous
The picture of salad and your caption is misleading...."Do you feel safe" means something totally different with the latest lettuce mess....

I saw something on Thrifting Day Eve that I keep wondering about. What is this- AI speculation said an urn, so I quickly put it back. 😂
When will you be doing your next cruise event? And where will it be please? Happy thrift Day!
Know when to clean out xox lol
I’m starting to collect rhinestones brooches. Love butterflies.

It’s a crazy world. ... See MoreSee Less
Welcome home, such as it is now! ❣️
I'd be changing Banks!!
Ooooooo look at you!! You’re looking good!
I probably would've called the police thinking they were being robbed and he was trying to get me out of harm's way! Lol! 😂😂
So what about the older people that don't know how to do online banking! That's crazy!
What cracks me up is you go to a store and final charge is $4.99 you give them a $5.00 and they have no pennies to give you change back so we're out if our penny but Pennies do add up so thru the years of paying my rental bill and a $4.99 fee in cash why not just charge $5.00 if change is not given back?????
I hate on line banking in person is way better.
You look fabulous
😂
WOW
I wonder where he's working next week .
That’s wild!!! 😜
It would have made me make a final withdrawal
Well I live near Bentonville, Arkansas. Believe me banks here are not run like that. If that Teller was around here they would be Unemployed already. Oh and we have Online Banking here too! Imagine that!
We could be friends. Live your POV!
if you do online banking, they won’t need her!
So far my banking experience hasn’t been like that. I’d be asking for the manager. Most of the time I use the drive thru. Had a hard time getting my husband used to doing his banking that way. We do have on line and use it when necessary but prefer human interaction.
I think you should’ve told him, honey if people don’t come into a bank once in awhile, they wouldn’t need you to work here. That’s just me but I’m 78 and still believe in customer service. 😂
This is insane 🤩
Oh Lordy 😳
That’s crazy!!
You lost your face!!! Did it have. Life saver. No. I guess you had the courage to do the work. Keep up the determination. You go girl. Oh yeah. You are looking like a girl.
I would’ve said well your job isn’t to be on your phone. Your job is to help customers. I don’t understand why they’re pushing everyone to do everything online. And not just them but other businesses as well.
Wow.
He should just do home then.
