Reply #31 - Aug 13^th, 2004 at 2:37pm ok...i havnt combed out my hair yet but its dry. there are waves....but nothing amazing. theyre more like kinks oh well! maybe i didnt leave the towel on for long enough, but my hair doesnt dry kept in a towel...just stays damp once the excess water has been absorbed. ~FB~

damp infinity
Reply #35 - Aug 18^th, 2004 at 10:47am

the day before yesterday (after i clarified and deep conditioned) i decided to get all my wet hair out of my face by doing an infinity bun held with a single hairstick. after each hour of it being held up i let it down for a bit and shook my hair so it would actually dry Wink

when it was eventually dry (about 8 hrs!) it had lots of waves..although these were mostly combed out...but my hair was so soft and thick and had such lovely movement!!!

so from now on....if i wash my hair on a spare day where im doing absolutely nothing...i will damp bun! yay!!!

Very gorgeous, Flaming Bunny... I damp bun all the time too. Isn't it great? I feel sorry for all the shorthairs (or longhairs, God forbid) who "have to" blow dry. Roll Eyes

p.s. Your ends look great! Did you have to let it grow naturally like that, or can you get away with a cut method that gets you tapered-looking ends? Mine is half u-shaped, half blunt and I'd loooove the natural look someday.

thankyou!!! ive always been a bit worried about my thinner, pointy ends but youve made my day!

my hair is very strange. the back part grows quicker than the rest of my hair. i trim this blunt but a) it sort of twists to the side, and b) my hair grows back pointy. im not trimming for a good long while since my hair is growing slowly at the mo so im dealing with the pointyness!

cos the front parts of my hair are naturally shorter ( ???) i get this really deep V shape, which im learning to love.

to achieve this the 'natural' way, i suppose you'd have to go without trimming for a long while. or cut the V into your hair----though to cut a lot of would be heart-breaking so i wouldnt suggest it Lips Sealed

id love to have blunter ends so enjoy your hair! Grin

im SURE my hair looks longer but when i measured its still at 37"...well a few hairs are a bit over but generally my hair is the same length as at the start of the month. hmmm....i may start taking a multi vitamin to help my hair, and me in general (over the summer i have been eating a lot of crap....relaxation and all that Roll Eyes

).

today i decided to make some hairsticks to tide me over until i can afford some of Rapunzels. they turned out really well!!! i made them from dowel, wire and beads. ill post a pic when theyre dry. im sp pleased with them...though i dont know how Rapunzel does it every day....and to a higher standard of craft and detail! they were fun to make but fiddly as hell!!!!! small delicate stuff makes me want to move about Shocked

back soon with piccies........

im in pain though...yesterday evening i was taking a stroll through a woodland with the boyf and a branch thwacked me in the face scratching my eyelid! it hurt like hell and whats worse is the scratch doesnt look much so no one sees what im moaning about! when i get injured i want it to be obvious so i can moan and get pity! Grin

aww thanks guys! Kiss

the eyelid is feeling better, though i have a weird long scabby thing!

Anais,
the bun is actually a crappy figure 8 Grin

it went a bit strange at the bottom!! Roll Eyes

the stick part of the hairsticks is made from a piece of dowel....you can get packs of it from craft stores as theyre used in model making a lot. hope that helps!

You can cut them off the length you need. Then, sand them smooth, both ends and the length, and spray them with auto spray paint. I'm thinking of wood stain and polyurethane, but I haven't done it yet.
