My roots are blending into my haircolor pretty well. I went swimming yesterday. I can't wear a swimmer's cap at a public pool. It directs too much unwanted attention, imho. But the pool water does help some color deposit escape the hair.

My hair feels like its at a weird length. It's at one of those "Too long to do this" "Too short to do that" stages. Braids still need to be redone once or twice a day. The ponytail has become a hairstyle of choice.

I need to cut down on buying haircare products. They are becoming expensive. They are also taking over my shower. I'm running out of places to put them!

That's basically it with my hair. I can't help but feel discouraged sometimes. I see pictures of my nautral haircolor and mid-back length and I feel bummed. This journey will allow me to grow mid-back length hair that is incredibly healthy.

So it's worth it =)

Not too much hair news.

I found a use for silicone anti-frizz products. They can do wonders for eyebrows. I get curly-ish eyebrows from my father's side of the family. It tames them down rather well

Also, shampoo can be used to take out stains. Just mix equal parts shampoo and water, leave on the stain for 5 minutes, and throw the garment into the wash.

I finished a commissioned piece of artwork yesterday. I'll have to take a photo of it, since it is a pastel portrait. The money is going to the "Nigiri Sushi Fund."

Thank you ladies, I appreciate your comments

I'm having a bad hair day. my hair feels rubbery. I think I may have let too much conditioner sit in my hair. My bangs have hit the most annoying length ever. They look like they can be tucked behind my ears, but they can't. It's so annoying....

I wonder, does anyone have any ideas for bangs during this awkward stage?

Perhaps I should hibernate for a few months. Then, when I wake up, my hair will be a more desirable length.

I have bangs that are about to my chin, I can tuck them behind my ears but they dont stay...So I pull my bangs and a smidge more hair back, then fasten them with two bobby pins. It's easy and I dont think it looks TOO dorky. Either that or I twist little sections of hair back and fasten with bobby pins that I hide with more hair. Just an idea.

Creepy...I am close to 100 posts. Whenever I got a spare moment, I look at the forums. Friends are starting to question my sanity.

I've been getting alot of outside pressure to cut my hair. My mother loves my hair when its at my chin. Ew. At least I stopped playing with my hair. It takes all of my willpower, but I rarely touch it during the day.

My natural roots are looking quite lovely. Their color reminds me of winter wheat.

In un-related news, my school (University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana) is hosting a Dance Dance Revolution tournament. Cash prize for the winner! I will buy some LL hairsticks if I win.

Take a deeeeeep breath. Now slooooooowly let it out.

You are just fine. Your need to visit the boards constantly is a common effect of suddenly finding out there are others out there that share the same ideas as you. You will eventually learn to curb this habit. Welllll, maybe. Some of us have been hooked on these sites for many years. Grin

On the other hand, your visiting is teaching you more about how to care for your hair in a healthy manner. You, in turn will share this information with others, which will result in their taking better care of their hair. Consider your activities a community service to improve the healthy wellbeing of hair! Cheesy

Yes it is, Anais. Do you dabble in pastel as well?

Also, thanks again for the compliments! You are all so sweet. I will post more artwork when I get around to it!

The tournament went over very well. I placed second. The prize money ended up going toward gas and drinks.

My hair gets so frizzy. And untameable. I may get it cut even shorter so I can get rid of the damage. But if I do that, I won't be able to bun up my hair. And that's a real problem. I wear it in a ponytail (I do change the placement of it every day) 95% of the time, so it shouldn't matter anyway.

What to do.../sigh

My preferred medium is watercolor or acrylic. I haven't worked in either medium in a long time, but hopefully this summer will show good conditions for time travel Anais
