From one "nut" to another then.

Strangely enough, it's been cloudy & cool all day today here. No rain, sadly. But perhaps we're sharing the effects of the same storm?

Not unless there's a storm out there 3,000 miles wide. Grin

I'm on the East Coast. So my weather could be your coast's weather leftovers from like last week. Grin

So my hair came out nice and soft. I think it really likes it when I add the conditioner to my pre shampoo oil treatment so I suppose I will stick to doing that each time. I'm going to be needing some more BBAB. It's getting hard to squeeze out of the tube to use a shine enhancer so an intensive is completely out of the question. Tongue

Today I wanted to do a pony bun but my hair just did not want to form any kind of coil. Angry

So I made three twists, one from each side and one from the back, and joined them together leaving the rest in a ponytail. Not sure about tomorrow. Undecided

If I don't have trouble coming up with ideas I have trouble getting my hair to cooperate with the ideas that I have come up with. Tongue

Couldn't find the flats that were advertised. Did see a cute gray suede pair with a buckle on them but alas their idea of a sale was my idea of full price, perhaps a steeper discount will be issued later this season. Huh

I always hate walking away from something cute, especially when it's in my size. Cry

I had to do that just today, in fact, while I was at Express. Blah...we should just invent a money machine. Oh, and our clouds have been coming from the east.

I'll start on the blueprints! LOL Cheesy

Well maybe then. Wink

Today it's so hot, humid, and downright disgusting. Tongue

It feels like July out there. Tongue

I'm looking forward to the forecasted cool down later this week.
However my hair has been holding up surprisingly well in spite of the humidity. It's just a bit frizzy but is still overall soft, smooth, and manageable.

Today I wore my hair in a double flipped ponytail which greatly resembles an Edwardian. And I accented it by placing one of my sterling silver combs in the middle of the two rolls. That's about it for today. I shall try my best to beat this unseasonable heat. Tongue

I play around with it too. I sometimes just do the low single flip ponytail or I'll flip it twice. I accent it with combs, barrettes, could probably even use hair sticks. I sometimes braid the tail as well. Lots of options, and I find it easier to do that way then actually following the Edwardian instructions.

I often wear my hair in a flipped pony, sometimes with the tail braided. Yesterday, I did the double flipped pony with the tail braided. lol Man, this is just getting creepy.

Wash Day

Maybe we're longhair sisters from another mother. Grin

So today was wash day and I tried a SMT. Aside from the fact that water kept leaking out from under the shower cap. And that my whole shower effort took f'ing forever. It was alright. I suppose my hair's about as soft as it will ever get, because it's felt this soft with just the pre shampoo oil and conditioner treatments. So perhaps not worth the hassle. Undecided

Oh well live and learn right. Roll Eyes

At least the weather's spectacular. Cool

Finally fall like

now how about some rain? Grin

Finally

It finally happened the weather was actually cool enough so I could where my hair totally down! Grin

I haven't done that in ages. And I can honestly say my hair looks so much better then it did when I last wore it completely down. It's so soft and shiny and happy. Cheesy

So yesterday did the usual pre shampoo treatment of jojoba and conditioner. Leave ins for the weekend are the usual anti breakage serum (ABS not to be confused with anti-lock braking system. lol Cheesy

) on wet hair, then next morning leave in conditioner spray, oil on bottom of length, and BBAB for shine. Cool

Debating adding honey either to that or to my regular conditioner. Undecided

Considering trying my first CWC Tuesday seeing as we will be well into a cool/dry pattern. I decided against it yesterday just in case my hair did turn out greasy I wouldn't have been able to wear it down today. So next time, if I remember. Grin

The rose water I ordered came in, but I don't need to mix up a new leave in yet so it will have to wait. I've ordered a new tube of BBAB because I don't have enough for any treatments with it and I would like to try mixing it in with the oil and conditioner that I do before I shampoo. And the new oil blend I've had my eye on now that my grape seed oil is finally running low. Hopefully my hair will like this. Roll Eyes

I don't know what got into me but I decided to paint my fingernails yesterday. Normally I only do my toes, which happen to be painted a silver with pink tint, but I decided I wanted to do my fingernails as well. So I painted them a very seasonal Port wine color. I actually managed not to smudge them before they dried and they have yet to chip! The two reasons I normally don't bother with them. So, so far so good!

I just had to do it. Cool

Oh and I'm a fan of "Nightmare Before Christmas" myself. Wink

Warmer weather today means hair was up so I coiled it up and secured it with a large jaw clip and accented the hair around it with a couple of crystal bobby pins. Hair also didn't need oil today, which is good because I don't want to run out before my new bottle comes in. 's'bout it.

"Practice" Time etc.

So yesterday I gave myself a spur of the moment scalp massage, because I felt like it. Strangely enough. Huh

I mean I do them twice a week anyways but eh it felt good either way. Cool

Today I seem to be practicing my Dutch/French braids. I tried to do a French braid this morning but it came out as a rather good attempt at a Dutch braid. Huh

Well since I know what I did to get the one I should be able to reverse it to get the other. *snort* Roll Eyes

Well I'll try again this afternoon. Just a small update, aren't they always... d@mn I could use a life now... I hate waiting for things. Tongue

I Can Braid!

So yesterday I managed to create a Dutch braid actually good enough to be worn in public! Shocked

On my first try nonetheless. And today I created a similar quality French braid also on the first try! Shocked

I can't count the number of failed attempts I've made at either hairstyle. But somehow I've managed to master them both on the first try! Maybe I was bit by a radioactive braiding spider the other night or something. lol Grin

But either way I can officially add both the Dutch and French braids to my hairstyling repertoire.

Congrats, Tanai...hey, how do you pronounce a name like that anyway? Is it more like Te-NAY or Ten-EYE?  

Right. Anyway, congrats on mastering both the French and the Dutch braids at once! And revel in the fact that you're so kicking my butt because I can't do either one.    Well, I can French braid other people's hair. Doesn't help me much though.

Thank you. And it's pronounced Teh-NEYE.

Nothing much to report on the hair front. Yesterday was the usual oil/conditioner pre shampoo. Had too much oil on my head from unrinsed scalp massages. Tongue

And my scalp hurt yesterday as well. Tongue

Just used the ABS and didn't bother with oil or leave in today, hair didn't seem to need it and I don't really want to add too much stuff to my hair because I will be venturing out without it being washed on Friday but my hair braids better slightly dirty, too many products would just make it too dirty.
