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.

Yeah I think pineappling works best for longer hair and no bangs. I dunno what my strategy will be once I get chopped to chin-length.

Haircut tomorrow at 2, want to grow this short cut out a bit but also want to experiment on the way and not end up shackled to the straighteners again just yet. This? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26827377/483DF4E808BC04D503C7268DCD3_h400_w300_m2_bblack_q99_p99_cqcovJIIR.jpg

Cuet! It would require product to keep those bangs out of my eyes I think.

I dyed my hair using box orange dye to cover up my roots for my Grandfather's funeral, and my hair is so dark! Everyone loves it but me, I'll have to get a picture for y'all once I start wearing makeup again! Proper hair appointment in late August though so I'll hopefully be back to the bright craziness in time for school.

I like that short messy look, R! I think it'd really suit you :)

Cuts for me and Mr. Jaq today at the awesome neighborhood salon in an airstream trailer parked in the side yard of a pub. Generous gin&tonic and fabulous hair on a perfect summer day.

Today at the hairdresser's it was demonstrated that I don't have enough hair yet for whatserface's hairstyle as shown above, but I'll persevere. I can kind of flick out the back now - will try that tomorrow, although someone might come and dump me in a TARDIS and send me back to the 90s.

FFM, I'm looking forward to this pic - I have a mental picture of a lovely sultry dark orange.

have you tried using texturizer yet, ljub? i have no idea how it works but it is amazing.

I had no idea! It looks as though it's for curly hair, mostly? Mine's straight-ish, but has these wavy frizzy bits at the front as it gets longer, and those are the primary reason to straighten. Also just to add gloss overall, because without layers my hair looks a bit ratty otherwise. Your hair's straight-ish though too, right? Do you use it?

When I was about 20 I was told by a boy that he found me attractive but would respect the fact that I wasn't that interested in relationships, which he could tell because of the way I (didn't) manage my hair. He was completely serious.

ugh that guy sounds like a try-hard loser

nah it's for all types of hair - it basically just gives your hair... texture! so i guess for short hair like yours it be great for giving a bit of volume (you add it at the roots) and aiding in the shape, so the layers and stuff don't all sit flat. good for that sort "sexy" bedhead look. my hair is pretty straight, but i tend to wear it with a bit of wave, the texturizer just stops it from looking limp. also great for updos - 40 pins for a simple bun type thing without vs. 3 pins for the same thing using texturizer.

i use this stuff. a little goes a long way, and i sometimes use a large powder brush to dust it on my roots.

it does feel disgusting tho - really weird, like the powder hitting your scalp feels wet, and then when you touch your hair it feels chalky. but worth it.

nb that stuff i mention above is the only texturizer i've tried, so not sure if there are better or worse ones out there.

Will look out for it - thanks. I got the Sumo stuff from Bumble and Bumble but it only seems to work if I really trowel it on, and then I'm overpowered by the smell.

This stuff ("got2be powder play") has really dumb teenagery marketing but imo works the same as the BSH stuff at half the price, get it at the drug store or Target or wherever. Between that and some cheapo dry shampoo, I always have nice volume and no sweaty helmet hair (I have either a scooter or bicycle as transpo...in the Arizona summers).

Sorry the BSH stuff is called Powder Play, iirc, both have silly names.

ta! will look for it.

10 seconds 2 volume, and then about 3000 more seconds 2 leaving the house while faffing with hair that looks any different from usual. What I need to do is remember to experiment with my hair just before I wash it, so that I'm not such a coward about trying out new stuff.
