Oh isn't it?? I love flaxseed now. Best of all it goes wonderfully with macaroni tuna salad. ETA especially when people want to cut down on the mayonnaise. (to save the mayonnaise for deep conditioning??)

Thanks

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all the responses. I've been pretty much sleeping on wet hair ever since I posted (my laziness knows no bounds; this is like a coup for me) and it's working out really well. My hair dries so much better and glossier that way. Go figure.

Also, just to throw this out there, flax seed oil is incredible. (thanks Anise!)

Hi Accolady... I guess I'm showing my age.  I still (vaguely) remember TV ads for cars in which the announcer proudly stated their city/highway mileage, and always quickly followed up by saying "your mileage may vary."  (An infamous disclaimer to say that consumers shouldn't necessarily expect that their mileage won't be as high as advertised... for those who might not have known - there ya go).

LOL, Dave, I had to look that one up on Google.

YMMV

I remember growing up my grandmother would never let us sleep with wet hair. She always said sleep with wet hair = headaches the following morning. So my sisters and I have been trained never to sleep with wet hair. :)

Hi Layla,

First, please note that I am not picking on you, but rather I'm in a funny mood.

When I saw your signature, the first thing I read was

Goal: Armpit length 4"

I do realize this means your head hair, but I had to laugh as I've apparently not had enough sleep or exhibit a lack of vitamins.

Perhaps I sound a bit silly, but to look at my legs in the winter sometimes you'd think I had a goal for leg hair length.


  Yes, I guess there can be a few disadvantages to having long hair...

And on what you noticed in Layla's signature.  I read it as 4" long armpit hair.  I'm guessing she really means head-hair-which-is-4-inches-past-armpits-long?

I do it all the time even though they say it's not good. It's either that or blowdrying.

Ah, there we go, thank you all.

You need to work on the patience thing to become a true longhair. Being a longhair is learning to make a commitment to what you want to be. This is #8996 on the list. Growing long hair is a reflection of acquiring patience. This is #16745 on the list.

Merely that there are tens of thousands of advantages to having long hair.   You know, as in "this is just # 35743 on the list."

That's what happens to me- my hair usually feels smoother and softer when I sleep with wet hair...

Amen! Sometimes I'll end up doing a hairwash at 1 o'clock in the morning, usually because I'd have gone a week and a half between washes . This effectively has me sleeping with at-least-damp hair. It hasn't done damage as far as I can tell. I try to keep it on the damp side, not wet, for practical reasons.

Usually I want til my hair is half-dry to sleep on it, but if it is wet, I put a doubled towel on the pillow to keep it from getting wet. When the towel is uncomfortably damp, the hair is only damp, and I can throw off the towel and sleep on a dry pillow.
