A Hairy Situation


It’s a full time job trying to keep our hair looking good, isn’t it? Hair can give you confidence, or it can ruin your whole day. Most crimes are committed on bad hair days. That’s where the ski masks come in. You can spend hours fixing your hair. It’s perfect when you leave the house, but, between your porch and your car, a gust of wind can destroy it quicker than you can say, “Uh, my hair!” Unless it’s in a ponytail. Ponytails are hard to ruin. They can also swat away flies much better than a bun.

Anything can mess up your hair. Humidity, different products, even different water can affect your hair. My hair is better in the city. The city has hard water. The shampoo lathers up so well. Hands full of fluffy foam. I can make a Santa beard and ice cream cones. Then I go to the country where the water is soft and I can’t buy a bubble. Soft water? They should just call it what it is. Bubble killer. I can’t even make a goatee. They should make special shampoo for soft water. Instead of “rinse and repeat,” the bottle should say, “rinse and rinse and cancel all your appointments.” My point is that we deal with so many different kinds of hair. There’s bed-head hair, hat hair, airplane hair, beach hair, and occasionally soup hair, which I always send back.

I was driving home today and a chevy truck was in front.. the smaller one.. maybe an S-10?? where the front seat is one big long couch basically.. a lover's ride!!!.. you know when you see people.. riding close.. driver and passenger. It was shadow a siluet of what looked like a lady with wild crazy hair.. bushy! and an old man as their was a handicap sign in the rearview mirror hanging there.. and I looked in awe and the closer I got I began doubting my eyes.. what is that next to the driver... and it sorta had a part in the middle of the head.. hair. I was intrigued at this point and as I got close the passenger turned their head to look at the passing scenery and ITS A DOG!!!!!! LOL.. just sitting there like a human watching the traffic.. where they were going.. and at closer view from the side I noticed it was the breed of your black poodle Ellen!!! and I continued to observe this cute doggie and as it turned into the street leading to a housing community .. the dog was still watching where they were driving.. and I chuckled to myself and said.. how cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always had long hair, until I cut it off to show my children that it doesn't hurt. They still have never cut their hair! My daughter is 14 and my son is 7. Locks of Love will have to wait a little longer for thier curls. In the mean time, mine are catching up.

OMG!!! I HAVE THE WORST HAIR YOU COULD IMAGINE. MY HAIR HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY CURLY, VERY THIN AND GETTING THINNER WITH EACH PASSING DAY (I THINK I HAVE MALE PATTERN BALDNESS),IT WONT GROW, AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF I'M NOW HAVING TO DYE IT BECAUSE OF THE GRAY HAIR THAT MY GRANDMOTHER USED TO CALL SILVER AND WONDERFUL... SORRY GRANDMA BUT I'M NOT GOING DOWN WITH OUT A FIGHT.

I'm 43 and am growing my hair out for the third time for Locks of love also. I'm a cancer survivor so this is very near and dear to me. I've never colored or permed my hair...I guess you could call it virgin hair. Just lucky to have healthy hair. The goal is to get it past my back end (if you know what I mean) one more time so when they cut it it'll be just below my sholders.
I only wash my hair twice a week. I wear alot of Hat's. I take showers everyday though! The oil is good for your hair.

I have super thick hair and it's hard to control......

Mom says before I head of to school
"Tame the mane"

Actually, soft water enables lather and hard inhibits it. I thought I would correct you like your mother! LOL! Trust me, NOLA has hard and BRLA has soft, when I moved from NO to BR, I experienced the difference!

I have "alot" of hair and very black already showing some white...but I found that washing my hair and letting my hair pre-dry naturally then blow drying it keeps it from frizzing up. I dont use anything on my hair just shampoo and conditioner (VO5), I get a lot of compliments!

~Thank goodness for bandana's~Ima bandana queen~

That is why I wear short hair and it gives you more length. At least I am 1,72 m and I go swim a lot, so it is easy to dry. For a cabrio - always use something for your head, o, I meant hair. Paris, rain, nor problem, Rome, the sun is burning, L.A., the hairstyle is still okay. As you can see, with a wonderful haircut you can travel a lot.

end entry

I just want to say, I grow my hair for Locks of Love in Honor of my Dad and in memory of my Grandmother... so I do not use any hair product. It gets frizzy looking and flyaway on the dry days and curly and stiff looking on the humid days.
Any tips for me?????
I am just getting ready for my next cut so any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Teresa
