Thanks! ^^ My hair has really grown during my time here.

The bonnet is my newest attempt to solve my eternal winter hat problem- how to be able to wear buns and pretty hairsticks while still protecting my head from cold. If my bonnet is warm enough, I will use it all winter and consider my winter headgear problem solved. 

Today, I noticed trees getting yellow...sun shining and making weather quite warm...chamomille rinse coming when I wash my hair tonight: perfect day for wearing my lovely yellow Prismatic Sun hairsticks!
  My hair was a bit dirty (and gunky...yuck!) already yesterday, but I bravely decided to wait until today before washing- I haven't still recovered completely of that superannoying cold. Well, I'm still sneezing today, but my hair has arrived to the point where nothing can keep me out of shower and away from the lovely Rosemary Lavender Aloe shampoo bar.  In fact, I think I'll get there right now.

Time for monthly routine update!

Measuring tape shows good 0.5" growth. Only two inches until BS (and until I dare to declare that my hair is longest it has ever been). It's not much...

Washing:SBV with Chagrin Valley's shampoo bars + soaps, LV deep conditioner. I've had a flu and my scalp has been gunky...lighter shampoos like Rosemary Lavender Aloe have felt better. Have done my ACV rinses to chamomille tea twice now. Experiment continues...
 
Oiling: jojoba oil, no oil treatment this month (have skipped sauna since flu started) Chagrin Valley's Three Butter Lotion.   
 
Styling: Rose water for misting and aloe vera gel. 
 
Combing: Celluloid comb for wet combing, otherwise Body Shop's wooden comb. 
 
Styles: Cinnabuns, scarf buns and French Twists with Ficcare. French tuck (new!), "down with little twists" style (new!) and French braid for sleeping.   Experimented with rope braid bun, but that's still a bit too small for my taste.
 
Toys: LL and MT hairsticks, Blondiesturn hair forks, bandana scarves, Ficcare Maximas clips. Ribbons, little jaw clips for "the down style" (I really have to come up with shorter and prettier name for that one).

I have done S&D missions regularly irregularly. I find only few splits in these days- the condition of my hair must have improved immensely compared to what it was when I started this journal. 

Oh what a cute bunny!!!!   

Heehee, cute! Some how naughty antics make cute animals even cuter. 

Never a dull moment with a houserabbit  .

Yes, Moonchild, I've had this flu for three weeks now. If I'm not starting to show some real improvement before the end of the week, I'll go to see a doctor again. (Don't know what it would help, as I'm almost certain that this is the same viral infection that everyone else has). But, T insists, and...maybe a doctor could do something. ??? I don't ever remember having just a common cold this long.

Hair is, however, doing very well- it's soft and shiney and was even easy to style. I put it up in a bun with Blondiesturn hairfork- I noticed that the darkest one matches perfectly with my suede jacket.

Watched Tomb Raider last night -I hadn't seen it, and Bunny seemed enjoying it too. Alas, in spite of all my attempts, I didn't quite manage to figure out whether Lara Croft wore a standard braid that was just extremely thick or whether she had something like 4-strand box braid. 

Have you heard of colloidal siver?  It is real silver that is electrically charged and microscopic pieces of the silver go into water.  The charge the silver carries picks up the virus or bactieria and carries it out of the body via urine.  It is oderless and pretty much tasteless.  Its an old folk remedy-you might find some is a health food store.

I hope you feel better soon!

I actually have a bottle of colloidal silver in my pantry.  How long is the shelf life?  I've had it since the summer.
