A fluffy, sort of Stevie question...

Alright, this may not even belong in this forum, but here's the thing - I've been trying to grow my hair out so I can get the "Stevie look," and have managed to get it down to my shoulders. However, I've had it up to here with it as it is right now and am ready to chop it back into my favorite bob cut.

Has anyone attempted to grow their hair into a Stevie 'do? I saw so many women at the concerts this summer with hair that would make you think it's Stevie from behind, and I was so envious!

I really don't know how Stevie manages to tame her hair. I don't think she has a lot of help because sometimes it looks dried out like she overdid it with the blowdrying.

Anyway, I guess what I'm asking is, what would you do? I will probably regret cutting it afterwards, but it's driving me nuts. I'm a total Stevie-wannabe, lol.

Just keep letting it grow. Your hair is probably at the annoying stage of growing it out, and once you get past that you'll be ok.

As far as I know, Stevie's hair is naturally wavy, so she blow-dries it straight and then puts large curlers in it for body a few hours before each show. It's obvious that Stevie also gets her hair weaved or colored, as you can tell when the roots are growing out. My girlfriend is one of those girls that has the Stevie hair going (and it was purely coincidental too). She blows her hair straight every day, then straightens it, then curls it a little with a large diameter curling iron. It's a whole process, but in the end it looks great. If it were me though, I'd leave it wavy because I love wavy or curly hair.

I have long wavy naturally curly hair that I just usually let air dry and then tame it with a brush. I too have a love/hate situation with my hair, but I tried to have it short and it just grows too fast for it to stay in style.

I get it layered in the back because it is so thick, and sometimes it looks like
Stevie hair from the back a la Rock a Little big hair.

I love having it longer because you can put it up if you want to have a different look.

Stay with the longer hair. I actually decided in High School to let my hair grow long after watching the Gypsy video (corny huh?), but then again I am a self professed Stevie-a-holic

On a slighter more less related topic -- since when did Stevie ever have _black_ hair?

I have never seen these pictures before...?

She's actually a brunette apparently and has been dyeing her hair for years. But that pic above is a wig.

Must've been Halloween.

That makes so much more sense ... thanks!

Thanks, JKMaletic and SandyMac. Maybe I will just keep plugging. The tangles are a PIA, and I can't even imagine what they'd be like at Stevie's length, but I just have to give it a go.

My hair is fine, but there's a lot of it, and there isn't a lot of wave, so it won't have the bulk of Stevie's, but maybe that's better?

Anyway, if it ever does grow that long, I'll post a pic. (Probably 2 years from now, lol.
