sleeping

Hey excellent!! Im glad you really like it!

wow 3 pages now!!

thanks so much for the compliment Eowyn!
(is that your name?)

i trim my hair like im supposed to & im recently
finding some unwante *eek* split ends! how
could this be? any ideas? and any suggestions
on how to help it? its so strange im always so
good to it! haha..

I thought Eowyn was your real name too. I was going to ask if you were Welsh.

First, "Bartender, a round of You have beauiful hair compliments for everyone on me."

As for sleeping I use a Sleep Tail.
Sleep Tail isn't a technical term of any kind. It's just what I call the Ponytail that I use for sleeping. Unlike a regular ponytail it has more than one holder.

I use my covered elastics. I put one on at the nape and then carefully slide it down to the bottom position about 2/3 of the way down. Then I put another at the nape and slide it down to the top position 1/3 of
the way down. I have not had as many tangles from sleeping since I started doing this. I don't always do this, but when I don't my hair is worse. Some have tried it and liked it and others didn't.

Here's a picture

Emilee, that hairstyle is so beautiful! I actually e-mailed your previous wedding hair photos to a friend who is getting married. It is such a unique look. I had never seen anything like it before.
It makes me want to get married just so I'll have an excuse to wear my hair like that. (I think it might be a little too elegant for a trip to the mall.)

As for split ends -- Oddly enough, I don't have any. I don't know why. I think it's just genetic. I have freakishly strong fingernails too -- they don't break.

I think it's perfectly normal to get some split ends, though. My friend just snips hers off to prevent the split from spreading further up the hair shaft. She doesn't get an all over trim -- she just looks for the individual strands that are split and snips off the split area. Her hair still looks gorgeous.

Judging from your photo, your hair still looks wonderfully healthy. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about a few split ends.

P.S. You mentioned keeping some shorter layers around your face. I recently got a haircut with some layers. I love it. It gives me a lot more options when it comes to styling my hair. I have a really pronounced widow's peak when my hair is all one length. The layers hide it. :-)

Hey Emilee, more great wedding hair photos -- thanks for sharing!

And thank you Eowyn/Laura for the compliment.

That's a great bartender-ish saying, PurpleBubba.

Welcome Ursula. I used to wash my hair everyday, too. Then I got ill for quite a while and started skipping a day here and there. My roots used to feel dirty after just one day, but I think the oil production kind of regulates itself after a while. Now I only wash every 2nd or 3rd day. My hair loves it (and so do I).

Welcome Ursala!

Maybe a high bun would work for you? You could toss and turn and the bun would rest on the pillow no matter how you lie. Let us know what methods you try, and how they work for you.

Hi Ursula. Here are a few links you may find useful.

The first one shows how to make a dancer's bun. You can skip the hairnet part, but the rest of the instructions are very good. When I want a really sturdy bun I usually braid the hair before coiling it.

This link is for a more casual bun. This is my favourite updo. If you want to wear a high loose bun for sleeping, just skip the hair stick. If you hair won't stay up without a little bit of help, you can use a loose scrunchie. I sometimes use one scrunchie at the base of the ponytail and then another, larger, looser one around the bun. This gives my hair some loose waves when I take it down in the morning.

I also really like this little gadget. It's a quick and easy way to put your hair up. It stays put too.

P.S. I think some of these directions may suggest the use of styling products. They're not necessary. You can make a perfectly beautiful bun without any styling goop or hairspray.
