Christmas

Angel: Well I would certainly hope you would know what a nut roll is. Roll Eyes

T'would be just scary otherwise. Huh

So yes Tuesday was wash day. Just did a WC. ABS, SEM, and KO with BBAB yesterday. Will wash tomorrow, not enough time today. Tongue

So yesterday I wore my hair in the "Victorian" which is about the only fancy look I can pull off with out good hairpins. Roll Eyes

Amazingly it stayed. Shocked

I accented it with a silver and faux pearl hair comb. Outfit has been my standby a wine colored silk blouse and pinstripe trousers with my dress boots. So afterward it was home to fight the nut roll. Grin

So Wednesday I made the dough and refrigerated it overnight... Huh

odd for nut roll dough... so then the recipe didn't really make quite enough and there was way too much filling. Tongue

Besides who ever heard of meringue in a nut roll? Huh

There was so much excess filling that it was oozing out all over as I tried to roll it. Tongue

However, I did manage to get it baked and it is quite good with the edition of my dark chocolate glaze and chopped walnuts. The excess meringue was turned into makeshift cookies which are good for not being really what they are supposed to be. Grin

So all and all not too bad, just so not using that recipe again. Tongue

Today hair was worn in a French (rope) twist. By Sunday it'll be very mild and I'll be able to wear that sweater blazer I bought Black Friday, seeing as it'll fit now. Cool

Wash Day

Alright Saturday was wash day. I, almost, forgot to do a treatment prior to washing. Tongue

Talk about being lazy and scatterbrained. Grin

So I just dumped some conditioner on my length dry then stuffed it under a shower cap and towel for about 15mins. It made my hair bushy which is typically the hallmark of a bad hair idea. But it turned out alright in the end. Don't know if it did any good but I did something. Grin

So yesterday I wore my hair contained under a jaw clip because it was insanely windy. But also 63°. Cool

Weird stuff. Now it's going to get colder and snow. Huh

Welcome to winter where I live. Grin

Got to wear the sweater blazer which I think was my highlight of the weekend. That and our football team made it to the playoffs. Cool

Where they'll probably blow it. Roll Eyes

Yes ladies I am a sports fan, just football and anything equestrian. I don't do long and boring. Grin

Hopefully will be getting closer to going comb shopping in the next month or so. I'm nuts I know. Roll Eyes

Wash Day Woes

So I, being a repetitive fool, decided, last minute, to try another CWC. Which of course did absolutely nothing, which I knew was precisely what would happen. Roll Eyes

So perhaps this time I will finally learn my lesson. Roll Eyes

Well ABS and SEM wet. And my hair's dry as a bone today. Tongue

Two helpings of oil, which I believe it does not like straight, (must be pre-blended with other ingredients) and it's still dry! Angry

I believe my new shampoo and conditioner are not moisturizing enough... I knew I should've gotten a more moisturizing formula. *V8 head bonk* So will try to rectify the situation soon before it become mid-spring and I need to get anti-frizz products for summer. Grin

So yes it's about 30° with a 40-50mph wind, maybe 15% humidity... oh yes great hair weather. Roll Eyes

Which is why I'll stay indoors with my hot chocolate. Cool

Have you tried any of the products made specifically for curly hair? I have to use them or my hair and scalp dries out really bad. I like Devacurl, Mop Top, and Ouidad's Quench line. Devacurl and Mop Top have travel sets you can get to try out for a pretty low price. Check out www.curlmart.com where they have lots of stuff available.

I don't remember if your hair likes cones or not. They dry the heck out of my hair so I don't use them.

Good luck, I hope you can solve your issue soon.

Resolutions

Thanks Sakina. I think my hair does like cones I did notice they've helped lessen the coarse feel of my hair. However I'm not entirely sure if curly products will do any good on a straight hair. But as with everything lately money is an issue limiting abilities to acquire anything. Tongue

So um... resolutions... I guess it's several that can be listed under two headings...
1) Get hair to at least waist length... feasible if it'll grow this summer. *glares at hair Angry

*
2) Put plan into action...with successful results God willing! (Yes Angel my aforementioned plan... and I've only got 9 months to pull it off. Definitely going to take some help from "upstairs.")
Those are it. Last year... umm... I lost that list, I guess it was pretty much lose weight (Check) and get a life Tongue

that'll happen this year! Cool

Wash Day

*hugs* Thanks Angel. I need all the help I can get. Wink

So yesterday was wash day with a pretreatment. I did a proper one this time BBAB with conditioner and left it in for over half an hour. Wet hair leave ins were the usual ABS and SEM. My comb suxs so bad it makes my hair so staticy. Angry

I can't wait until I can by a new one. That and new shampoo and conditioner again. Roll Eyes

Got hair under control with a healthy dose of KO (which my hair hates Roll Eyes

) and dollop of BBAB. Got it manageable enough to measure. Woot woot 28"! Hip length here I come! Just hopefully not with this much static. Angry

Well today I brought out my sad pair of Claire's hairsticks. And used them to secure my braided bun. Only needed two bobby pins for the tail. Cool

Still don't think my hair will stay without braiding the bun first yet. That has always been trouble. Tongue

Got a cool dark periwinkle key hole 7/8 sleeve shirt with singular rhinestone decoration on the keyhole. Oddly enough I had a coupon for it. Huh

So I got a Gloria Vanderbilt top for $8. Shocked

I love bucking the system. Grin

Trial and ~~Error~~

So today I decided to see if my hair was long enough yet for a pony-knot. I tried it several months ago and the tail just about made it out of the knot. Grin

Now however it is successfully up in said style today. However the very tips of my tail just mange to brush my shoulders. Roll Eyes

However it's a decent enough hairstyle when one has no where to go. I think it's still a little too funny looking to where out. Cheesy

On the sports front our football team advanced this week. Cool

As I hear did the one out Angel's way. It would be hilarious if our teams played each other in the Super Bowl. Grin

Gender:	Re: The Chronicles of Tanai's Hair Reply #176 - Jan 8^th, 2009 at 2:15pm Wash Day Wash day was Tuesday. Just the usual WC with ABS and SEM. Horrid oil when dry. Hair likes any additional moisture in the air which was why it was better yesterday (raining) then today dry, cold windy. [sarcasm] Fortunately I live in a place where winters have higher humidity.

We've got an inch now and they're still forecasting 5-9 inches. Of course I want the 9.

False Meteorological Advertising

So yes of course as with most snowstorms they got it wrong. If they say a foot you get an inch. If they say an inch you get a foot. Roll Eyes

How quickly 5-9in became 3-6in which wound up being a measly 3. Angry

*sigh* Such is life. All I can say is I hope their wrong about this incoming cold because by next weekend our highs ares supposed to be in the teens. Shocked

I can't even remember the last time we had temps this cold during the day. Tongue

Too cold for even my snow loving blood. <-- I have no desire to become one just because I stood still for five minutes. Cheesy

Well anyways yesterday was TWC day. Which I always find to be a pain in the butt, well because I'm lazy mostly. Roll Eyes

But yes today hair is quite the haystack due to lack of humidity. I attempted to do a french braid pulled over to the side which was better in concept then execution. Roll Eyes

However I did manage to purchase a new hydrating conditioner and will hopefully follow it in a week or two with the matching shampoo. At least it's the same brand as what I'm using now so it shouldn't matter too much.

Next week hair is going to disappear into a French tuck so I can make it disappear under my hat. I'm so tired of finagling with a braid that keeps getting messed up from being tucked under my coat. Tongue

This is almost making me wish for spring. Shocked

Almost.
