Thank you ladies

Carpal tunnel. better, much better than a few days ago.

Hair. I washed on the night of the 25th, then I washed again last night on the 31st. Both washes were identical. The only thing I need to start doing is twisting both halves of the hair in the SAME direction when sock curling. Otherwise I can't twist the halves together and coil it into a bun (without twisting the curls the wrong way). That was the lesson for the day- I basically twisted the wrong way because I coil my bun counterclockwise, and the twisting was opposite to what the sock curls had.
For the past couple days, I've been wearing my hair loose at all times except for sleep and meals, with wavy length and curly ends.

Today Ms. June is actually staying up with a pair of Earthsticks. They are actually pretty secure, now that I have enough length for straight sticks. They used to be a major struggle because they snagged too little scalp hair, causing headaches, pressure spots, or just plain snagged. I still don't like straight sticks as much as curly ones, but these are DANGLY!! It's been almost three hours since I put them in. It's got a cat charm on the end.

Thank you ladies, and one gentleman

Lately I've been busy, but I still love journaling through pictures. It's easy on me, easy on my schedule, and of course, the carpal tunnel.
The only thing that's changing about my hair is how it looks. The routine has remained relatively the same throughout the entire past few months.

crochet
Reply #174 - Sep 5^th, 2005 at 5:38pm

Crochet, croquet, or coquette? I've also been working on another crocheted bun cover, this time a "natural" color. It's very even so far, and I've been taking care to keep it flawless - taking it apart whenever I mess up. It's going well, and I"ll load pictures of the finished piece. Crocheting by the lake will be a wonderful thing to do.

Farther along

Your cover is so nice and even! I'm working on one right now too, and have had to take it apart several times. Even so, it's still too "pointy" Roll Eyes

It's hard to do ETA: but what I love about crochet is how it allows you to undo your mistakes and have a do-over! And then there were three

hair, length concerns
Reply #178 - Sep 7^th, 2005 at 4:55pm

Hair. I haven't hairwashed since the night of the 31st so that made it seventh day hair, eighth day hair on Wednesday. It's wavy right now and much like Kleis' or Veil's hair, with the perfect waviness and perfect for wearing loose. I was supposed to do a hairwash yesterday but the length is still looking decent. I'm slightly itchy on the scalp, but nothing a little wet-down didn't help. Sometimes I wonder whether my hair smells weird to other people. Mum smelled my hair once and she said it smelled good. Yesterday I went down to the lake and finished the crocheted bun cover, along with the tie cord. Tomorrow shall be a bun cover day, and today I'm in one long damp braid.

Length concerns. I wondered why I'm growing so long. Fingertip length, it seems really ridiculous right now. My bun is already pretty big. Let's say I have about two feet of bunnable hair, which is counting from the back of my head, to the tip of my ponytail. I have about 10 inches until fingertip length. That means my bun should be about 30% bigger by the time I've reached the goal. And that. is. truly. huge. I've concluded that I love wearing buns, especially the cinnabun. Having super long hair will allow me to make the clover bun, and have a really long braid, but now I'm reconsidering my hair goal. I'm thinking of stopping at tailbone (at least for awhile until I adjust to having hair that frankly, I don't know what to do with). It would also give me the opportunity for a long-overdue trim (at least 1/2 inch).

Adapting to new lengths can be a challenge, but don't let it limit you. Figure 8 buns, and other fancier buns are much easier with more length - who knows you may prefer those styles to your current favorites!

I would concur on getting a trim to even things up, if you feel the need. I had planned on "holding" at waist length to allow for trimming some of the damaged length off, but never quite got that done. Now I will probably have to cut/trim more due to additional damage.

and by the way,....... your bun covers are great!
