Thanks, HoVa! indoors it can be a little frustrating since the blonde isn't as visible as outdoors, but patience will be key.

ibruno, I had been shaving a cheekline because i was dealing with stubble/scruff & it had a nice effect, but now that I'm letting the length grow out a lot more, I was thinking I should stop except for the uppermost random stray hairs. I can always redefine a cheekline when it has grown a little bit more & taken shape.

What do you think?
