Yup! Lisabelle's got it nailed. I love the Bubbatail. I've been using it all day today.

And now... a happy dance..

YESS! internet is back! Wink

The internet hasn't been working all morning.

Hair. Last night I did a CCC+C, and finally put in the Giovanni at around 11 pm before sock curling for bed. The hair finally dried overnight. It just took awhile, so at least next time I don't have to worry about my hair not drying properly with a CCC+C Today promises to be a great hair day because there's no gummy, sticky, perpetually wet hair. In fact it's dry and bouncy, shiny despite low conage (I've decreased amount of cone to one cubic centimeter), and supremely soft.

I've been debating a trim of another 1cm, to make everything more of a U shape or a blunted V rather than tapered, because of post-summer shedding. If my shedding is going to be anything like last year, it will be a winter of mostly contained hairstyles until spring arrives. Next measure-up will be on Samhain, which is coming fast.

Other random stuff:

a gal accosted me for my (momentary) dream job

the internet is up and running again!

Our first foggy morning this morning

digital camera is doing weird things and I think it's going to stop working soon

black and white 35mm river negatives turned out great

red brocade corset now fits with a 4" gap in the back

I think this time the internet is working FOR GOOD.

::CROSSES FINGERS::

It's been down for the past 2.5 days except for an hour yesterday afternoon.

Hair. Today is pretty simple, single braid, looks a lot thicker than usual though!

Which makes me optimistic about this winter. I've got some photos to post soon, looking forward to taking more hair progress pictures to take on Samhain.

crosspost from another thread.
I was definitely less obsessed with hair before finding Longlocks and LHC. Life was actually simpler, and I had other ways to de-stress. My hair wasn't "a big deal" until I started growing it out, but along with hair-growing came other side effects of long hair.

I DEFINITELY wasn't very feminine until the period of time I was growing out my hair. Both changes coincided. I don't know if one caused the other, or whether a third thing caused both. I never used to wear skirts or fitted pants, always bought underwear in packs from JCPenney's instead of shopping for bras and undies one-by-one, I didn't have much female confidence, wore sneakers all the time instead of the boots nowadays, didn't spend enough time on skin, didn't love my body much nor did I devote special time to its needs. Overall, hair boards not only got me interested in proper hair care but it also opened me up to natural body care in general. I definitely eat better nowadays, use natural butters and oils on my skin, and all-in-all, love my body a lot more than I used to.

I miss K so much! Things have been so busy lately.

Hair
Reply #272 - Oct 27^th, 2005 at 10:35pm

Hair. I've ignored my hair for the most part this week. There's been some itching, especially last night when I was poking around on my scalp throughout the entire evening while reading. I still get a lot of ivory beads on the scalp where the sebum formed hardened "clogs".
Despite scratching around in there, I still find that my hair is just as thick today (if not thicker) than it was in the spring. Normally at this time of year, I should be shedding like crazy. Hopefully it won't happen at all this year, or not happen much.
I wonder what would happen if I sock-curled dry, the way it works when braiding with a SUE.

All is well in the hair world.

swirly bun
Reply #273 - Oct 28^th, 2005 at 5:27pm

Hair. I am determined to learn the swirly bun, and I didn't consider it before because I never thought I had enough length to do it, or that it would be unbalanced because I don't have a blunt cut. Now I realize that I need to learn more comfortable buns because I am approaching those lengths that will be uncomfortable for the scalp. From what I can tell, that stage is coming soon because my buns are getting increasingly heavier. Whacked myself with a single braid yesterday too, which made a very loud noise!

Happy Samhain

Happy Samhain

A painting by J.E. Knauf. For more information on J.E. Knauf and his paintings, click here. He does an amazing job of capturing JUST enough detail without losing the sense of movement and wind.

I was going to dress up today but I have a doctor's appointment in the afternoon, and it's very cold outside besides. I'm still wearing a black corset over a light blue top, with brown corduroys.
Hair. Attempted and succeeded at doing Leia's Swirly Bun this morning, held with a Mamacat stick. I still need to figure out the 'perfect position' for a hairstick to hold the style. I took a measurement yesterday and I'm at 33".

ETA: Nope! Strangely enough. I just used a digicam setting that had a really slow shutter speed, and the light just turned out that way. It was an orange floodlight and it tends to turn reddish with my camera.

Thanks NR

Stuff. I've been resizing pictures today. I don't see any sense in posting full-sized pictures of hair when a 120pixel width will do Wink

Recent hair journey in photos.
The original photos have been removed from the rest of the thread for various reasons. It's also gotten me to reorganize all my photos. I think I also need to do some journal revising because it's too overgrown for my overcontrolling tastes Grin

Does your hair grow faster than the normal 1/2 inch? It sure looks like it! =)
