Amy’s Press Conference – Question Two

Mama Bear – Oh wow, so we’re getting the most phrequently asked Amy-question out of the way early in the game, huh ???

Yes. it’s my real hair. Wanna know a bit of the history of the Amy-do ??

Well, I started the process of growing it out in 2003. At that time I went to a new salon stylist, trusted him with knowledge of my Function and told him I needed him to style me out a cut that would work for me during the day when I was still doing boy, yet allow myself the flexibility to grow it out for the future Amy-do. My stylist is the best … in fact, all the people in his salon are, most have tinkered here or there with my mane at one time or another. If you’re a local, you should really consider going there … tell them Amy from AmyNews.com sent you !

Amyways, as far as hair care goes, I use Aveda products. They are gawdawfully expensive … sadly though, they smell great and once you use them, you’re addicted to them, kind of like Big Macs (whatever) … the products really do wonderful things for your hair. For the environmentalists out there, I think the products are all natural, which for me is really a negative, but it’s something I can overlook. I use their shampoo, conditioner and some even more overpriced krap to tone down my fly-aways. 

I’m contemplating getting it cut … shortening the length in the back some. It’s a little long and uncontrolled me thinks. Fortunately, my stylist knows me, and he and his entire team know how difficult everyone’s life can become whenever we do anything the least bit different with my hair … so when last time I mentioned I wanted to cut it short, he refused to do it. Smart man. Smart man. Maybe I’ll just do a trim.

Oh yeah, let’s see … I usually wash/condition my hair twice, maybe three times a week. Usually Sundays and Thursdays … it’s purely coincidental they are the mornings after bar nights … sometimes I break down on Tuesday and wash the do then too.
