i love style needs to get their hair did

Totally! I love it.

(fyi that is my un-madeup face with just cc cream & no filters to hide my red face *grin*)

Skin, hair & smile looking fab!

new & improved VG 2.0

I booked a hair appointment for late August, right before a wedding I'm in. I haven't had my hair done since March! My roots are bananas, I covered them slightly with drugstore orange hair dye. But, I don't have to look work-presentable than then so I'm just going full hippie. xp

awesome!

What an adorable tumble of curls, and your skin looks glowy and very even--your new regimen is totes working! Congratulations, beautiful human.

those curls are seriously cute
i like how curly haired people are able to send their hair in more than one direction
that always seemed like it would be fun! it suits you too.

thanks! my stylist always poufs up my curls way more than I do, and I'm always like 'steady on afro lady' and thinking about how I'm going to pat them down when I get home but then I get home and i'm like hey wow cool

"steady on afro lady" lol

Full steam ahead imo

i have been enduring awkward stages as I grow out my hair but it's looking pretty good these days, maybe could use a shape up in the next few weeks -- either dry shampoo or sea salt spray definitely help cut the grease that always seems to build up & flatten it out on the 2nd day, also adds volume and texture which is great. i want big hair! big wavy leonine shag of majesty, please & thank you

Okay I L-O-V-E that.

Okay that looks pretty great but when you said "big wavy leonine shag of majesty" the first thing I thought of was

Of course.

To which I say that more people should strive to look like Robert Plant, please.

Elmo, has anybody ever told you that you look like young hot David Gilmour.

omg

otm

ikr????? I can't believe I never noticed it before as often as I GIS "young David Gilmour."

thirded

i'll take it!

as a compliment, that is

So I thought this thread is really the only appropriate place to explain what I have done with my hairs today:

1) Wet it down with water from the garden hose. Hairs had not been washed since uuuuuuh long time
2) Put some sort of L'Oreal deep conditioning shite in there. Combed through and donned shower cap
3) Hung out sweating for a few hours. Heat treatment!
4) Thought what the hell, added some coconut oil
5) Repeat step 3
6) Thought what the hell, added a beaten egg
7) Repeat step 3
8) Gonna next wash the hairs with shampoo
9) Gonna then put conditioner with added honey into the hairs for a few minutes
10) Gonna rinse out the conditioner and then do final rise with apple cider vinegar
11) Profit?

...add a cooked potato and you'll have a fine potato salad if nothing else

<3

Seriously if I'd had an avocado and/or yogurt on hand, I would have thrown it in there, why not?

i think the formula for hair-treatment should be

would this be good in a salad = yes put it on your hair

quincie how did it work

do you smell delish

Did u turn into a unicorn?

Did raccoons eat your hair?

Was curdling avoided?

My mother swear by washing your hair in beer. She says the first day it reeks but then the smell goes away and your hair is super shiny. Of course my moms does enjoy a drink so I'm hesitant to go along with any suggestion that involves alcohol.

Back when I rode horses, we used to wash them in baby shampoo+beer so they would be shiny for shows!

It takes my hair so damn long to dry, so it was still damp by the time I went to bed. So I added "clip roots with duckbills for lift" and "pineapple bun" to the mix. Have not yet taken it all down; will report back when I do.

I smell very faintly of apple cider vinegar, which is a lot better than smelling like Chipotle.

pineapple bun

this sounds tasty as well tbh

It does. Like a cross between a sticky bun and pineapple upside down cake.

irl lols @ 'did racoons eat your hair'

^^^^ moi aussi

Hair report: hairs look much better! Not a surprise after a "care" regimen that went soak in salty ocean water/soaked in chlorinated pool water/don't bother to rinse/repeat.

Softer, for sure. And the clipping and pineapple bunning made for good waves when I undid them this a.m. Now if only someone other than my husband "looks nice, like it always does!" were around to appreciate my kitchen cupborad efforts.

what is a pineapple bun?

no idea

I picture this

haha. YUM.

i imagine braided hair worked into a bun would look like a pineapple?

I know this from when q told me when I asked about how to deal with wet hair while sleeping!

It's when you pile all of your hair on top of your head and stick it in a loose bun with a hairband, and then put on a sleep cap or t-shirt or whatever. It's a thing you can do to wavy/curly hair to keep it from frizzing out overnight, and is so named because it gives you a pineapple head.

ahah!

Carl, I impressed with your progress in Curly Hair Studies! I don't do a sleep cap or other wrapping, but that would probably help. Back at home, I admittedly have been known to use a satin pillowcase.

im still totes confused how this method prevents humidity?

xp I couldn't find a good way to sleep on wet hair, by the way. I think it's a combo of the layers and having short bangs, and my hair kind of creasing close to my scalp if I arranged it wrong (made more obvious by the layers) so no matter how careful I was, I'd wake up with half spike bangs or a piece from the back bent forward towards the front that I couldn't get to go back to normal unless I wet it.

Maybe one day with a different haircut it will work, because I sure liked showering at night and sleeping more in the morning.
