new hair philosophy

[Indignant]

are you so pretty, why are you hiding from the gallery?

[misombra]

...and shorter. this was 3 or 4 years ago...

[misombra]

yaaaaaaaaay!

[lovesjoyajm]

definitely. no i had to make it blue because my hair is so dark in pictures and it looks like a big lump on my head.

oh. that's what you meant by "change the color". Sorry, I'm a bit slow. I changed mine to sepia too because you couldn't actually see anything but black in the normal photos.

terrible photos, but I was holding a DSLR over my head. gave myself a freakin shoulder cramp.






some cupcakes I made

[misombra]

wow if i cut my hair that short i'd have jerry curls lol.


it's good that your hair is so short because now you can start fresh. your hair is the type that gets curlier the longer it is. keep on treating it good and let it grow! you'll have long, curly locks before you know it. i can't even remember my hair being so short.

oh yeah and those cupcakes look delicious. straight out of a betty crocker cookbook.

Wow!!

That is kind of what mine looked like when it was long. Except way more amazing than mine ever was.

Is there any type of shampoo or conditioner that actually makes your hair curlier?

I remember seeing this "wash and curl" commercial a few years ago that I assumed was total crap. Maybe it is. But at the stores here there is NOTHING designated for curly hair. There's stuff for brown hair, blond hair, dry hair, colored hair, straight hair, flat hair... no curls.

it's not so much the shampoo as some gel. i use cheap gel, works for me. and scrunch scrunch scrunch.

also don't comb your hair when you get out of the shower. comb it through while you're in there. combing it out while it's drying will have a straightening effect.

I haven't combed or brushed my hair since I started this thread. I used to comb the conditioner out of it in the shower but I stopped. I met a girl who had amazing curly hair and I asked her what she did and she said "I stopped brushing it." So I did too. It's short enough now but maybe when it's a bit longer that won't be possible.

[misombra]

wow.

if i stopped combing my hair i would have dreadlocks in two days. i'm not exaggerating.

but if you can hang with that you could.

when i want my hair to be super curly. i scrunch with a bunch of gel.

also once in a while i rinse my hair with a cup of water and a spoonful of baking soda. i pour it on my head and work it through my hair. it takes out all the build up from products, and makes my hair lighter and therefore more curly.

How often is once in a while?

I bought some Dove conditioner and it seems a LOT better than the German conditioner I was using which had a sort of oily feel to it. My hair isn't dry yet though so we'll see how it is.

[misombra]

once in a while= whenever my hair starts looking flat and heavy.
