do you let your SO see your "process"?
ie, your beautification process?
do you walk around the house with rollers in your hair? mask on your face? etc....do you do your make up in front of him/her?
or do you get ready in private/secret?
if so, how do you try out different styles?
especially with hair?
I have a hard time b/c my hair does NOT cooperate very often and it's pretty straight. It takes FOREVER to put rollers in, and then I have to wait HOURS for the curls to take.
I just feel like having him see me doing all that for the "look" takes away from it...so I don't bother.
and he's always showing me these complex styles and I'm like DUDE, do you knwo what goes INTO THAT??? but of course he doesn't...and he doesn't care...
it's very frustrating...but I am tired of my same old quickie styles..
*lesigh* I don't know what to do.

exactly....DH doesn't pay much attention to all that I actually do though....sometimes he'll look at me and say "do you do this whole routine every night?" (wash face, moisturizer, etc.) which indicates to me that he is not paying attention at all.

DH has seen me in all aspects of getting beautified....We joke around a lot of the time since he does the same thing.

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
dh sees me getting ready and i velcro roller everytime i blow out my hair.
i'd like to be low maintenance, but with curly hair that i despise, that quite simply will never be me.
he's seen all parts of the process and honestly he told me he thinks its cute. he likes that i take care of myself and will tease me when i'm walking around in my rollers...

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
nope, not at all. he never sees a mask, plus i bleach - he doesnt see that. . . doesnt see me shave or pluck or wax or anything like that.
One time I didnt know he was home and I walked out of the bathroom with my shower cap on and he was horrified - never made that mistake again! LOL he also hates when I leave a towel in my hair. . . LOL but I do that sometimes anyway.
I am a very private person so it doesn't bother me.

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
He sees everything and nothing phases him...he'll compliment me once I'm out the door, but doesn't "notice" the process...
ETA: As far as different hairstyles go, I don't even attempt any other style since my hair is dead straight also and I can't be bothered.

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
He sees my process and asks me why I do all this...he thinks I look great without the makeup and such. Very sweet but I like my routine and the end result!

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
He sees the process are far as how much product I put into my hair or my makeup routine .......he also sees my hair coloring extravaganza b/c my sister is my colorist and does it @ home -
.but the tweezing and waxing and bleaching and that kind of stuff ........-
I try to hide SOME from him !! 
He only cares how I look when I walk out the door, not what actually goes into it .........My routine is pretty basic anyway .........
And I have long, curly hair - the only way it looks 'different' is if it's straight, and he hates it straight - Score for me, saves me 2 hours !!

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
he is oblivious- he grew up with very girly mom and sister and his grandma owned a salon
he has seen me at my utter worst - rollers and facial bleach on my lip and brows-- does it get worse than that? lol

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
I think they appreciate it more if they see all the work, althgouth Ithinkit takes away from the effect, when it takes too long & then Dh would rather I look plain, but we leave on time.
Sometime I miss just meeting him somewhere already done. If we do meet up, I usualy come straight from
work & am a mess.
Anyway, what type of hair texture do you have?
Maybe we can help. It took me decades to learn how to curl my hair.

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
Yes, he's seen ALL of my processes. Unfortunately (for him and me). 
But if I'm bored and want to try a new look, and want privacy, I can usally do it when he's on the computer, working from home, or engrossed in a football game.
He also travels for work every now and then, and that's my girly night. I can watch sappy movies, mess with my hair and makeup, try on new outfits...whatever.
BUT...I'm never happy with the results, so nothing I ever "try" makes it out of the privacy of my house.

Same here! It is the biggest compliment when he says that and I love that he continues to say that even though I am not young anymore! We've gone on a lot of trips with groups of people and we've been in share houses. We've seen people wake up with mascara dripping to their toes and their hair going in 18 directions .

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
Yes, he sees, whether or not he notices is another story! Often we are getting ready for work at the same time.

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
we are together almost 20 years. He has seen it all..he has seen me through my puffiest, ugliest, hair, makeup, waxing torture.
He tells me I need none of that. 
Um..yeah, ok, back to reality..I don't want to go around scaring small dogs and children.
Of course he thinks my usual 40 minute routine takes forever.
My super routine only takes 10 minutes longer and that's what he complains about..the process is no big deal.
He doesn't see the nails, hair coloring or waxing but knows it exists!

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
I don't really wear makeup and I rarely dye my hair, get my nails done etc. So there is no process to hide

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
Joe notices, and doesn't care. It does bother him at night when we're together because I have an after shower routine that I WILL NOT WAIVER FROM...this drives him nuts because, according to him, it takes forever......in reality it's about 2-3 min. I don't get all dolled up a lot so he enjoys seeing me with make-up, my hair done, and nice clothes on. Where am I supposed to go....Our den is right next to the bathroom and he's usually on the computer when i'm getting ready.

Re: do you let your SO see your "process"?
Yes, DH sees it all. He teases me when I have the mask on my face and thinks I look cute with hair rollers in my hair. At first I felt so self conscious about having no make up on around DH but now I dont care.
