My hair life hasn't been very eventful. Weather is still too hot for my tastes, but luckily I can spend most of my time inside where it's a little cooler. I've been taking showers daily, even twice a day. It's not doing good to my skin, even with Chagrin Valley soaps, but can't help it. I have wore shower cap though- I washed my hair last time day before yesterday after extensive playing with hair forks had made my hair look dirty, with Nettle shampoo. I think that Nettle is in same category with Rosemary Lavender Aloe- "lighter" compared to eg. Honey Beer& Egg. It works well, though I think that I receive best results when I use every other time more conditioning poo.

I've been playing with my new hair forks. I can already make pretty secure buns, and am making progress with French Twists. I think though, that a 3 or 4 prong design might be easier for that...
Besides playing, my hair has spent its time in regular cinnabun with hair fork or hairsticks. Today, it's Spring Daisy SpiralStix.

Morning: upon taking my night braid down I found out that (again!) I hadn't managed to get all the oil from yesterday's treatment off from my ends. Unfortunately, I didn't have a time for shower in the morning as we had to get to see another house. So, I put my hair to cinnabun, added Twisted Springtime stix and nobody could guess that I was a walking hair catastrophe.
     The trip to house took quite some time, as we both totally fell in love with it. It's big, in moderate condition (=a little polishing would be nice, but no need to do anything immediately) and even has a duck pond with ducks!  We immediately booked another showing for tomorrow (we'll take T's brother who studies building with us) and are prepared to make an offer right then! I'm so hoping that the house is as good as it seems and everything goes well. *bounces*
     When we finally came back, I went to the shower, and did another wash with LV shampoo and Urtekram conditioner (which seems to be wonderful stuff, making the hair very soft). It's still early to say whether or not I managed to get rid of the oil, but I hope so!

Thanks! I'm hoping too that it is as good as it seems- if it is, we'll make the offer today. I'll keep you informed on how everything goes. *bounces*

It's been raining heavily during two nights now, and the weather seems to have changed from simply hot to warm and very humid. See how my hair likes that...
So far it seems that today is just an ordinary VCHD- aloe consumption is high and I don't even dream of anything more complicated than cinnabun with SpiralStix. I would wear a scarf bun, but there's the house showing.

In general, I've noticed that my cinnabuns have become more difficult to make- usually I need to use a couple of hair pins besides hairsticks in order to make it look decent. I don't remember having this problem a couple of months back- but then, at that time my ends were much thinner than they were now. Weird.

Sending positive house thoughts your way!

Sorry the house did not work out for you.    Hopefully another good one will come along soon for you!

New hairsticks have come home! 

Raspberry Festival DrizzleStix -These looked gorgeous in picture, but in RL they are even more amazing little works of art. Drizzle effect looks particularly beautiful in this design, and fuchsia beads in beautiful bead caps are just stunning.

Butterfly Meadow SugarStix - My third pair with Bill Grout's amazing twisted ribbon beads (can't get enough of them!).  A special bonus are padparadcha cushion crystals- a stunning color that I've hunted for months, and that looks just as beautiful as I could ever have hoped for. Sugar effect is very unusual in most positive sense- catches the eye and doesn't let go.

All in all, I'm so hairstick happy... ^^

Otherwise...I had a meeting today, and as I had to leave the house early I thought that a nice rope braid would be easy. Well, I managed to make it, but so far I've redone it maybe ten times or so- my hair just isn't cooperative though in principle it's wash day (I think I'm going to skip until tomorrow though). Bleh. I guess I need some more practice. Or a more cooperative hair. Or both.
