I bow to the inevitable.

Not really; I've been thinking about doing this for a while and have finally decided to take the plunge.

It's Saturday, which means my poor hair finally gets a respite from all the things I do to it during the week.  On Friday nights I fill it with conditioner, which I leave in overnight and all day, beforing shampooing on Saturday nights.  Generally, I wash every other day; I haven't been able to train my scalp to go any longer because of school; I figure that's what the summer if for.

Anyone else have a serious hairtoy addiction?  I buy most of my toys at claire's, and their "buy one get one half off sales" are going to kill me!

Just as a sidenote, I'd be wary of anything from Claire's. They have cute stuff, yes, but most of it is made fairly cheaply and is loaded with harsh seams.
    I love to load up on gawth jewelry there, but I can't wear their earrings because they're made of surgical steel, which my ears seem highly allergic to.    Sux.

Anyway, congrats on starting your new hair journal, Firefly42! 

Hey ya'll.

School today, so I needed something simple and fast to do to my hair (I get up a t 5 am, so complicated is NOT an option).  Pulled it into a half ponytail and then clipped the strange barette thing I got at claire's over it(finally! a way to use the darn thing!)

Well, it's up early tomorrow so i am Off to bed!

maggie (and anyone else who might know): how did you get you're ticker to work in your signature?

Firefly42

just testing to see if my ticker works!

Ahhh, Bikerbraid got to ya first    Glad to see you got it working, pretty choice!  So, you're almost waist-length?  Wow!  If I could ever, maybe, possibly (pleeeeez!) grow an additional 10 inches, I could be a waist length for the first time in my entire life.  That's my ultimate goal!

Hi Firefly! I'll be lurking and reading your journal too Have a great weekend.

Congrats on the journal, Firefly!

Only two days until saturday and I can sleep in!

Hair:  Need to somehow find time to do a S&D in the near future; I was examining my hair in math class today (don't worry, I was still paying attention), and I found a bunch of split ends.

Other then that, my hair has been on its best behavior; I think it may have something to do with the fact that I stopped using any kind of detangling agent on it.  I actually retired my hairbrush before christmas, but about two weeks ago I lost my plastic comb and haven't really put a lot of effort into finding it again.  I've found that letting my hair airdry naturally and then finger combing it works great and I don't have to worry about ripping my hair out as much.  Tangles are kept to a minimum by braiding at night and almost always putting it all up during the day.

So..I dyed my hair purple tonight.

apparently red, even red that's "supposed" to be temporary, NEVER comes out!  Not that I particularly care....except when it turns pink...i'm not so cool with the pink...

almost faded completely out....but i think i'm gonna turn it purple again.

Hey there, just read your journal for the first time.  I am curious what you are taking at school if I might ask. 

As for your comment about early mornings and working...I personally found I prefered work a whole lot more than shool.  At least once you get home your day is done...no school work, no worries about exams...ok, the house still needs working on and I think you get more picky about that once you graduate (unless it is exam time when everything that has been a mess for the semester suddenly has to be perfect before you can study).  I used to get up at 5 am when I went to school too (well for one of the Universities, the other I was right next door so I got to sleep in a lot) and now that I go to work I get up at 4 am.  In the winter when it is so very dark until near 8 and the snow can make the roads bad, I hate it, but the rest of the year it is not so bad.  And it is so much fun to leave work at 3 while the late comers are working until 5. 

I am so sorry to hear you had to cut your hair...but if it makes it healthier, it is probably for the best.  Your hair must grow really fast if it was going to make it from BSL to waist length in 4 and some months.  You lucky girl.

As for coloring your hair purple before you do your radiology, I would ask someone about that.  They can be fussy about appearances.  Depends on where you are going.
