I typically wash my hair just once a week - more often when biking.  Due to rain and other issues, I have not biked to work, and hence, have not washed my hair yet this week.  

Last evening, hubby and I started prepping the deck for being re-sealed.  This involved using a sander on the railings etc.  It was slightly breezy, so I didn't think much about the dust since it just blew away.

This morning I rode in to work - a gorgeous morning to ride.  My hair was only slightly damp from the ride, but yech!  My hair was all, thick and gooey.  I went in to the restroom to see how bad it looked and realized I has sawdust in my hair!  The sawdust was absorbing the moisture in my hair making a gooey mess.  :P

Fortunately I do have a brush at work (I seldom use a brush  :o) so I carefully combed then brushed out my hair.  It still feels yucky, but it looks fine in a french braid.  I imagine this is how those dry shampoos work!  ;D

Oh!  That sounds horrible!  Luckily you had that brush.  I ALWAYS have a wooden comb with me  (from the Body Shop) for emergencies.
I'm glad it looked fine for work in the braid.  I don't know about you, but if I feel like my hair's looking less than acceptable it really distracts me all day!

Sakina; I agree - I hate to have my hair not looking good.  (I don't want to give anyone an excuse to say something bad about my long hair!).  A bun will usually save me from the worst hair days, so today I feel lucky that the french braid looks good.

On the other hand, I'm sitting in my cubicle with only 4 others in the office.  None of us are dressed in our best.  :-X  No customers in the office today!  Yea!  So even if my hair didn't look its best, it would not have been the end of the world.  (Hey - they are used to me biking to work, so this would be no big deal).

I bet I know someone who can't wait to wash her hair!!
Glad at least you could comb through it as best you can at work!

Ack!  Poor BB.  :-[  I'm glad you got all of that nasty stuff out of your hair.  

Had a great ride home - it was not as hot as they had predicted so it was quite comfortable.  I have taken my shower and washed my hair.  Although it is still wet/damp, it already feels better!   ;D

My hubby puts in hardwood floors for a living and whenever he does sanding he comes home covered in yucky saw dust.  His head is sticky and gross (his shaves his head btw)  Awe that must feel horriable!:P

EEEKKK!!!!  I don't think shaving my head will be an option!  :o

Bikerbraid,

  No...you cannot shave your head!  We won't allow that...your hair is too beautiful.  Just kidding of course....I know you want shave your head.

In some parts of China, they do use fine sawdust as dry shampoo...

I'm not totally surprised.  The sawdust did absorb the oils quite well.  I just didn't like how it felt when I touched my hair.  Blech!
