Ahh, yes!  The elusive bun.  Those days were not so long ago for me.  I think my first growing goal was to be able to make a bun.  I have a few layers in my hair now because it is so thick and while if I want a really smooth bun I have to pin quite a bit, I rather like a funky bun with bits poking out.
Have you tried putting your hair up in two sections?  I don't know how long your layers are, so it might not work.  If you can pull the top part of your hair into a pony tail and coil it into a bun, take the bottom part and make a french twist.  I use a french twist comb to hold the twist and either tuck in the "tail" and pin it or take the tail and wrap it around the bun and pin it into place.
Hope that makes sense.

Done a lot of nothing with my hair!  Yesterday I did a french braid for the gym and left it in all day!  I was actually able to braid the length without it sticking out or looking totally funky!  I think not having "clean" hair, and having been doing a fairly regular job of oiling helps.

Today it's just down as we're doing nothing on this fine and hot father's day because the father of the house is sleeping.  No, he's not just being lazy, he has to work tonight so he has to sleep during the day....

I will probably wash tomorrow moring, although it's not feeling particuallyl gross or anything.  We'll see I guess. 

I'm really suprised that it's not all gross even with the workouts.  I was so afraid that I'd be all funky, but I don't even rinse after exercise.  I don't seem to smell or anthing ( I hope ya'll don't think I'm some disgusting thing)....I do bathe regularly, I just don't particually care for having wet hair...

Ok, enough babbling for now.  Hope everyone is doing well and that the blessings are abundant....

Today I did sort of a twisty thing with the sides of my hair....kinda like princess hair....where the sides are twisted and meet in the back....(sorry, I told you I was a hair idiot!).  Everyone said it looked cute.  I felt sorta silly but it has stayed in all day.

Oiled last night, my regular 4 "drops"...hair felt like it hadn't absorbed it very well.  Perhaps it's because my hair had just barely dried from the morning wash and oiling?  I might skip the oil tonight and see how it goes....

Ok, that's all.  Hope all is well for everyone.

Ok....yesterday I did end up braiding the crown of my head because  my hair was not drying "normally"....

Just been doing a lot of nothing.  Had migraine for last 2 days.....I'm going to rest today. 

I have boing hair.

Congrats on kicking the blowfryer to the curb.    I stopped using them regularly when I was about 16, and whoooaaa was my hair damaged! 

My art projects are pretty much the only thing I need one for these days. 

Well, today is a normal wash day but I did not wash.  I didn't need it thank God because I got up late....

Did nothing really, just my usual clip on the crown...

I attempted a regular braid down my back for the gym, it worked for a while and then got too lose and I had to resort to the low pony. 

Hair is now to the bottom of my bra instead of the top, so I guess it's growing anyway.   STill trying to decide whether to color the blond, but I don't really want to, but I do.....If I could just remove the blond/gold shades and leave just silver that would be ok, it would blend pretty well since I'm about 25% silver/grey now.....I don't mind it much I guess, except the baby ones stick out and look funny......  I'd really like to go completely silver but I doubt that will happen, my mom was salt and pepper the whole time I ever remember her....

Ok, enough for now...

Been doing a bunch of nothing with my hair....face....life...

When I was oiling every night I was getting really good at taking better care of my skin too.....at least I was taking off the large quantities of black eyeliner/mascara that I find necessary to apply in order to leave my house ....but now I've just gotten lazy and I fear I will soon lose my sparce eyelashes....

I oiled when  I washed but I haven't oiled since, but I think I can go longer without a wash if I dont oil so often.

My friends at work keep telling me that my hair has gotten so long.  I know it has grown.  I know it reaches the bottom of my bra in back.  I tried to measure but my husband helped me last time and this time, and came up with a shorter length this time than last time.....so I'll just wait.

Ok...enough for now. 

Hope everyone is doing well!
