how much lighter are you thinking of going?
fake tan doesn't look bad in sunlight.though it's just weird to not see whiteness when i look down.

Probably only a couple of shades lighter, but then I might want to get highlights, so the coloring for those remain undecided. I like my natural color but it's time for a change. :]

It's been months since I last trimmed my hair. It's barely reached shoulder-length now, but I try to make-do with what little I have to work with. re: tying hair up using stick or pen, I uploaded a video of myself doing it into a mini-bun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMBuPupX0xUI'm really diggin this site that specializes with long hair and hair sticks. The hair sticks are relatively pricey, but they're exquisite and one-of-a-kind so www.longlocks.com/catalog.htm

Thanks pelle. I know what you mean, white colour shoes are hard to pull off . I have always love wearing dark brown dress shoes over conventional black ones. The brown color seems to bring out more texture and content which blends absolutely well with my suits or dress pants.
It would be nice to attempt wearing white shoes during business casuals. The lightness of the color around the feet sets the pace for a relaxing feel . To coordinate dress shoes this way is to break from the norm and creates diversity in the change of color flow from top and bottom

Anybody know a solution for oily ass roots and dry brittle ends? I can't just keep trimming off the ends, cuz it'll be too short!

^ I get that sometimes too, but a lot less now. I started using Biosilk every other day and switching shampoos and that has helped me. Try some hair vitamins if it is still like that...hair vitamins helped my hair recover from its nastiest state. =)
Also, when you apply any kind of treatment that feels greasy, do NOT apply to the roots. This goes for treatments like Biosilk. That will only make it greasier. Start from the ear down if you are greasy at the crown (top of your head). This goes for conditioner as well, do NOT apply at the roots. Also, when using Biosilk..only use 2-3 drops, 4 if you have lots of hair or else it will be GREASE CITY.
Hope that helped. ;o It's from experience.

lol Grease City...oh yes, I've been there many times. Thanks for the help, I've tried the Biosilk skin & hair therapy stuff and that was pretty cool. I'll check out the shampoo. I've always applied conditioner only to the roots, but for some reason they're still brittle. I wonder if that waterless shampoo stuff they sell on Sephora, which is like a powder you put on the scalp when you're in a hurry, actually works. I wouldn't want nasty powder coming off my head.

^ I thought your ends were brittle and your roots were oily..I think that's what you said before ;o All you have to try to do is "neutralize" wherever it is too oily or too dry. A product with oil in it or some kind of slick substance usually helps with dry, brittle hair. However, a product with water as a base or a creamy substance tends to aid with oily hair. Concentrate each target product on that specific area for treatment and you should see an improvement sooner or later. =)
And you're welcome!

I've always applied conditioner only to the roots, but for some reason they're still brittle. there's your issue,hon-conditioner goes on the part of the hair you'd put in a ponytail (i.e. the length and ends.)shampoo goes only on the scalp,the suds dripping down as you rinse it are enough to clean your hair unless it's really grimy.my hair can sometimes get oily too but i've not had a problem with it since i stopped putting conditioner on all my hair.i've also been using a conditioner meant to strengthen long or damaged hair and it seems to help somewhat.

I have a can of dry shampoo. It's good for those days where you really should wash your hair but don't have time. It works in a pinch, but with dark hair you have to make sure to get all the powder out so your hair doesn't look gray. You wouldn't want to use it two days in a row, but it's handy to have around. Oh, and if you do try it make sure you spray sparingly. The first few times I used it I made the mistake of spraying too much, you actually don't need that much for it to absorb any excess oil in your hair.

lol Whoops that was a typo. I meant to say I only apply conditioner to the ends! heh,that does make a difference. i would use a clarifying shampoo on my scalp to combat the greasiness and a deep conditioner on the hair you'd put in a ponytail once a week.how often do you wash it?if it's really really oily you might need to wash it daily,but really,that's a lot.especially if you tried a clarifying shampoo.washing too much can actually make the oil glands produce more oil,as can touching your scalp (keep your hands out of your hair,no unconscious scratching,rubbing etc. as that ups oil production too.)try washing every other day and using an anti-breakage conditioner.

Thanks guys I'll definitely try the clarifying shampoo. I'm thinking about just buying a shampoo for oily hair and a conditioner for dry hair...you think it's okay to use a different brand of shampoo and conditioner?
