Well what can I say? Sometimes I just don't know when my bread's buttered... I've said already that I just love the twist out on my hair; more recently canerowing it has given pleasing results. So, I washed my hair yesterday and perhaps, because I w
as intoxicated with medication (I've not been feeling too well), decided to try a new way of styling. Now the reason I am going to suggest the medicine might have played a part in my decision, is that I used a pen to create this look. While my hair was still wet, I took sections if it and used a pen to create rolls which I secured with a hair pin. With me so far? OK. So, what was I expecting to get from this? Well some nice loose curls, not disimilar to the SoftSpike look...Ha! If only...
No, I haven't cut my hair! This is the curl I was left with when I took the pins out. I tried to loosen them, gently at first, and then with a bit more force. Absolutely no movement. I tried the 'head upside down and shake' thing, still no movement. I thought about pulling it back into a ponytail; the way I did when having a bad relaxed hair day. I just couldn't get it to budge.In the end I settled for twisting the front and securing with so many pins I would have
had trouble at th
e airport. There was nothing I could do with the back but leave it be. The funny thing is, I received so many compliments at work, from staff and students alike. Of course many people thought I had cut my hair and laughed with me (or was it at me) as I explained my little tale. Seeing my hair like this gives me an idea of what it would look like if I cut my relaxed ends off; a thought I toyed with for a nanosecond recently...
No you're not about to see an Old Skool pic of me sporting a Jeri Curl! Spurred on my the positive response to my hair yesterday I decided to show how versatile my SL's are. I plaited my hair and spritzed with Tea Tree Oil/Water mix (my new solution to itchy scalp).When I took the plaits out this morning my heart nearly broke - I looked like I'd put my finger in a plug socket! The curls were so tight that my hair barely covered my ears. I tried to stretch, shake and finger comb the curls loose but they weren't having it. In the end I decided I'd just have to smile all day to keep the attention away from my 'do. I twisted a small section from the front of my hair and pinned it back on a diagonal (not sure how clear this is in the picture) - I have been wearing the life out of my centre part!The curls seemed to drop slightly throughout the day and by the time I got home and took some pics it wasn't looking too bad.But where did I go wrong? Plaits too small, too tight or both? Shouldn't have spritzed? Too much spritz?All advice greatly received - I do not want to repeat this again!
Too vain to post a pic that shows the full disaster!
