  Guess who?   

Be sure to check out how often you should be using #9 - and rinse, rinse, rinse, I found that made a huge difference for me...have fun with lavatea ...g

Gabi, I'm alternating 10-B & #9 about every 3 days.  I figure I'll use it today and tomorrow then the 2 days of protein treatment.
I noticed my scalp felt really tingly (wintergreen I think) the first time I used #9 so perhaps I didn't get it all rinsed out.  Second time was better.

13bodies, thanks for the offer to adopt another furry purry but I think the one I have isn't ready to have competition.  (See April 28th entry for photo of Sweetie)
If she'd be up for it a hairstick bribe wouldn't be necessary.  DId you also get the Spitfire Shadowstix?  I'm trying to get a complimentary red pair or individual for a red geisha stick I have.  Guess I'll be on the lookout for you, speedy.

*Sigh*
I made the yummiest blueberry coffeecake for breakfast this morning!Mmmmmmmmmmmm.  I french braided my hair last night, sure makes sleeping cooler.  Whew!  It's only supposed to get up to 107degrees today.  I copied the instructions for the soft pompadour & psyche knot that 13bodies mentioned in her journal, look forward to experimenting w/this 'do.

I had several dreams that still seem to follow me around now that I'm awake.  I'm just hanging out indoors today-I need a no brainer day (actually, probably need a week) so hubby's out running the erands.  He's a good guy.

I was surprized that the lavatea shampoo didn't smell strong or make my scalp tingle.  It's nice, but I think in the future I'll use superclear in between camo and lavatea.  My hair is just the slightest bit less soft. 

I think I want sushi for lunch.  Better call hubby.  I AM so spoiled.

Gabi, thanks for the link-I looked it up right after I received my surprise pak 'cause I didn't know what was what!  I'm not sure what you mean by "the #9 is definitely one you can overdo", will you please clarify?

I did the protein treatment last night and my hair is super soft and smells really good.

I'm bummed I can't dance right now, feels like I'm getting fat.  I will go to bellydance troup meeting today to stay in touch.

Goody, this means I can eat whatever I want before going since I'm not dancing!!!

Another protein treatment is on schedule for tonight.  How can my hair stand this delicious treatment???

*Yaaawwwwnnnnnn*
Well, I've just woken from a very long nap.  After teaching 3 classes and driving around in the 111+degrees heat I think I got a bit tired!

After my second protein treat my waves really are pronounced.  I'm so lovin' LML.  Hopin' to MP next month.

Not much new-am glad I went to troupe practice even though I didn't dance 'cause I was able to correct the newbies on some of those little details that  (in my opinion) really make a difference in the performance!  I plan on going to a class on Thursday to work on zills.  Dum*dum*tek*a*tek*dum*tek*a*tek*tek*a (beladi rhythm-I can currently either zill or dance w/this pattern but not both at the same time)

Hi there, Greek_Lady!   Zills are basically finger cymbals that are played by bellydancers while dancing.  Here's some photos of mine:



As you can see, I have two sets.  The larger set on the left has a deeper tone and the set on the right has a bright, bell-like tone.

Here's how you wear them:



This is the open position that allows the sound to ring out.



This finger position mutes the sound so it is more like a clack or click than a ring.

Same ol' same ol' on the hair front.  I think it got to over 115 degrees again today.  Thank God/dess for airconditioning in cars.

Here's my hair on LML & Jessicurl, air-dried.



Finally, waves w/o frizz.  Yay!
