I was looking for a particular type of elastic band to pull my hair back.  They are made for really thick hair.  So, as I was looking in Kmart, walmart, other stores that do hair supplies, I decided I would try a beauty school.  I walked in with my hair in a pony tail, hanging down my back, and you should have seen the looks of HORROR on the faces of the students.  Absolute terror!  It was sooo funny.  I saw some of ducking as if to say, NOT Me, NOT ME, dont pick me to do her hair. I left there laughing  ;D.  As if I would let anyone touch my hair with a pair of scissors.  Just thought I would share.  Not every hairdresser desires to whack off long hair. HEHEHHHEEEEE!

LOL.  The idea that long hair would inspire looks of terror makes me laugh.

Did you manage to find what you were looking for?  Target here in Arizona carries the elastics for thick hair.

Thanks Sakina, and yes I found them.  Now I am looking for Mrs Stewarts laundry brightner.  I started at walmart, then I went to walgreens.  I guess it doesnt exist in my town.  So, what else could I use to tone down the yellow in my glorious grays?

Debr

That's hilarious   ;D

As to the laundry...how about Borax?  Or Fels Naptha?  (I think that's the name...)

I found it!!!  The laundry brightner is at Fred Meyer's of all places.  ;D ;D.

I hope I cna invoke terror with my hair some day!!

And wow, something Fred Meyers is good for!(The ones around me never have what I want)
