how do you use the bandanna to dry hair? i use a scruchie.. is that bad?

The photographer (female) had no target, she liked random pictures. As you guessed, I am the guy on the left.


How to get pictures in the thread : Easy, once they're hosted (I have my own domain and space now) all you have to do, below the writing box there are buttins : bold, italics, code, image, url, quote. it's image you use, put the url in.

it should look like {img} http://www.kintaro.ca/70.jpg {/img} but with square brackets instead of accolades.



As Uzi said, it will keep getting better as it grows, one of her infinite links, I read through, and am using without fault the bandanna trick for drying hair.

90 minutes with a bandanna keeping it all back, and no hairbands exerting pressure (even those "ouchless" non-metal kinds are very detrimental on wet hair , or 20 minutes scorching your scalp. I choose the least effort and get the best result now.

I know long hair will take relatively longer to reach certain milestones on your body, but when it does....it will be truly magnificent to behold.

Hi! First, you want to upload your picture onto a photo storage site (http://www.photoisland.com or http://www.villagephotos.com - you will need to create an account, it's free) I recommend villagephotos.com for a smaller picture, like mine. A bigger one will take up too much space. So, upload your picture (it must be saved on your computer first as .jpeg or .jpg) after it is uploaded, the page will show you a small version of your picture(thumbnail-only on villagephotos.com) right click and then click on properties, you will see the URL for the picture, highlight, copy + paste it into your signature on your profile page (click on user options, on the top right-hand corner of the Hair Talk page, then under profile options click "manage") Or, if you just want to put it into a new topic thread on Hair Talk use the directions for photoisland below.
Make sure, once you paste it into your signature, you put [ img ] before the URL and [ /img ] at the end, NO spaces. It should look something like this:
[ img]URL address here[ /img] (Pretend there aren't any spaces)

For photoisland: create account, upload picture, then when your picture shows up in your album, click on it, scroll down, you will see on the lower left hand corner something to the effect of, "get link for auction" click on that, then you will get the URL for the picture, highlight, copy + paste into the new topic thread, then do this:
Put [ img ] before the URL and [ /img ] at the end, NO spaces. It should look something like this:
[ img]URL address here[ /img] (Pretend there aren't any spaces)

Hope this helps & isn't TOO confusing!
If you need additional help, email me.... Manda14417@aol.com

Can't wait to see your pic!

Thanks, Traci!

Our hair does look about the same length.
I do measure from my front hairline to the ends. It stays consistent.

I would keep practicing french twists, but I don't think I'm a "french twist person"

Hi Monica! Sorry about the delayed response! I've been working like crazy for the last couple of days and haven't checked the boards.

I read the book for free because I checked it out from my library! I did have to get on a waiting list however. I had no idea the book was so popular! Worth the wait though. I thought if I really liked the book then I would buy my own copy. But I will wait until the next edition comes out. The latest edition is several years old, and it seems like 1/2 the shampoos and conditioners she talks about aren't even made anymore! And then of course a lot of new stuff has come out that she hasn't covered.
But it's still a very good read.

And I don't usually use leave-in conditioner, except when my hair is really acting parched. Though I really like something called Redken All-Soft Addictive, which has jojoba oil as a main ingredient, but comes as a spray bottle. Twice a week or so, I'll use a teeny bit on my hair while it's still wet. I don't rinse it, like the directions say.
It's expensive though. $15 for like a 2oz bottle. I wouldn't have tried it, but I got it when Trade Secret had their 40% Redken clearance.

I found Paula's book at Barnes and Noble...it was under $20 but I can't remember exactly how much.

Thanks, guys! You are so sweet and supportive!

I have been taking really good care of it for what feels like forever. Sometime soon I will have to post a picture of what it looked like 5 years ago. Yikes! I was a frizz bomb! Chalk that up to dying it really light blonde, and working full time as a lifeguard at a chlorine water park! When I wasn't in the chlorine, I was baking it in the sun!

ANYWAY, now I'm anal-retentive about being non-hair damaging! I don't think I could return to my old career. :)

But I do still have some split ends, Monica. But not for long once I lay eyes on them. I hack them right off. :) I also still have a fair amount of frizz. But I guess you can only see it when close up. My hair is pretty fine. But that doesn't keep me from leaning in close to the mirror and futzing over it!

Sorry to hear about your kitty, Lyris. :(
Lately, Gunther's been shunning me for our roommate, who's been home more often than me lately, and making more of a fuss over him to boot. :) But she's going away for a month, so I'll win him back. I fill the food bowl and clean the litter box, after all. (The INBOX and the OUTBOX I call them.)

Thanks again for the kind compliments!

Supergrover,

Very nice! So happy to finally be able to see your hair. I love the shine and color.
