Ok,hopefully I will be able to post some pics of my hair soon now that my sister took some with her digital. One of the pics is with my hair in a bun with ketylo sticks and Crackling Embers hairsticks. The other pics are of my hair down. So maybe "we can get the ball rolling" soon!!! Ordered two more pairs of LL hairsticks and can't wait till they are here. Silver Lightening and Antique Rose are going to be the new additions.......

I washed my hair this morning with Dove Therapy,used Apple Cider Vinegar instead of White Vinegar and then used Dove's Therapy conditioner. I put my hair up with 2 Ez-Buns and let it air dry. I also used shea oil with the E O of rosemary,lavender and sage that I concocted before putting up my hair. Came out well. I had to take it down because the two Ez-Buns weren't holding up my hair,it's too long now and too thick. I did a top bun with one of them and it worked fine. I bought these last year at a craft show in NJ. I called the girl in CA that makes them and ordered two more yesterday. Now I have my hair in a top bun with a steel stix and the rest of it is all curly and behaving. Surprising because we're supposed to get rain later tonight. Oh well.... the frizz will be her soon enough! Sad

I'll be braiding my hair later before bed so hopefully it won't be totally out of control!
Later

I can't believe so much time has gone by without me dropping a line or two Grin

more like a paragraph!! lol
I spent part of yesterday afternoon with my grandmother sitting on her front stoop(stairs). Alittle nerve rattling since she's 94 and I was alittle afraid she'd have trouble trying to sit on the stairs. She did just fine. I promised her today that I would paint her nails. She loves red! I wanted to paint them a pale pink,so we'll see if she go for it. A nice change is ok.
I washed my hair with morning with Dove mixed with frationated coconut oil and shea oil(just a little),a couple of drops of e o rosemary,sage and lavender. Smells good. Then I used Biolage hydrating balm and cold rinsed. I oiled the ends and length with alittle more oil,wide tooth combed and then used an EZ bun in a creamsicle color to match my outfit. I only did a top bun and let the rest air dry. Alittle aloe vera gel and viola!!! I'm off to paint grandma's nails!!!!!

Aww, have fun at your grandmother's, Curlgirl!

I too am a fan of red nail polish. In high school, I always strove to find the perfect shade of metallic blood. In my early 20's, I started applying a dense red glitter shade over that ala Dorothy's ruby slippers. Wink

But I hate glitter. Tongue

So now when it comes to red, I have the deepest shade of congealed blood burgundy...creams are much less of a hassle.

But pink works too, if you have the colouring for it. Grin

Reply #100 - May 26^th, 2006 at 12:30pm Hi Angel, I too looked for the "perfect" shade of deep red. I did like Ruby Slippers,too. When my nails were long,the darker the red the better!! I'm not a real fan of glitter either!

I think because of the humidity yesterday my hair felt like something from out of this world. I decided to just condition it this morning. So after Pilates I wide toothed combed it out with my wooden comb and conditioned it with Ouidad's Balancing Rinse. Feels much better. I oiled the ends and length,used alittle of Ouidad's gel,can't remember the name of it. Hey,at 6:30am I'm lucky I don't stumble into the shower!!!
I put my hair up in a bun with steel stix I got from e-bay. Ron Quattro has some nice ones. I used 4 though. I think I need 6 inches instead of the 5 inches. Oh well,live and learn. I like them because you can use them when your hair is wet,damp or oiled.
The spiraled ones are nice,but I wish they were 6 inches.
Later!

It'll be a busy day today. I am off to my sister's and broher-in-law's house for a get together. It'll be hot today so I have my hair up in a braided bun with black ketylo sticks and Glimmering Rose LL sticks. I should be cool enough like this plus sandals,skort and tee shirt.
Thank God there are alot of trees for shade in their backyard.
I'll leave an a/c on for the dog and birds while I'm gone. Hopefully it will be cool enough when I get home to sleep without one of the a/c's.
Gotta go!
