Insomnia - Oil on the ends of my hair all day.

> Hi Everyone....> Watch out. I can't sleep. That means lots of Hair Talk> messages. :-)> OK...here is something I tried today that really> worked well.> My hair was feeling dryish from the change of seasons.> So I washed my hair (Aveda Shampure) and conditioned> it (Aveda Curessence) and then did my normal cold> water rinse (brrrrr) and then towel blotted it, picked> it straight and used a blow dryer on the bangs only.> I applied just a dab of Aveda's Beautifying Oil to the> ends of my hair and then wrapped the whole thing into> a soft loose French bun and popped in my favorite hair> sticks.> The bun stayed up all day and my hair was actually> "cooking" with the Beautifying Oil on the> ends. The cool thing was that my hair did not look> oily or strange because the ends were neatly tucked> into the bun and hidden.> I wore Dawn's new hair sticks that are small and> delicate and have tiny hand painted balls on the end.> They looked good with my business attire. Dressy but> not too dressy.> When I took my hair out of the bun tonite it felt> really soft and silky and the oil had soaked into the> ends of my hair all day. It was very cool.> No big deal. Just something to share in my night> prowlings. :-)> Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.> KarenGood idea.. The oil does a super job on those ends for sure! Last week when on our boat I rubbed the beautifying oil all over my hair except my feathers in front. I then frenchbraided my hair and enjoyed the day on the water. Even with a few swims the oil stayed in well. That night I washed my hair as usual and it was super soft. Aveda's oil is fabulous in my opinion. And tho a small bottle it seems to last forever..

> Oh, this is a great idea! I'll have to remember that> for days when I don't have time to leave oil in very> long.> Hints about interesting things to come...> Actually, it's funny that you mentioned the> oil-all-day thing today - right after I got up this> morning, I put oil on my hair. I've spent the whole> day at home for a change, cleaning the bathroom> (always a favorite chore - NOT) and preparing for> classes next week, so I've just left it in.> Since I've had such a stressful week, and since I have> such a good start with the oil already, I decided I'm> going to really relax and spoil myself tonight. I'm> going to do all the things I never have time to do -> actually sit in the bath and read, do something about> my nails, use a masque on my face, take time to really> moisturize my skin to deal with the change in the> weather (It has been so DRY here lately!), etc. I'm> sure no one will recognize me tomorrow!> Laura Jane> lswanson@sunflower.bio.indiana.eduYou go girl.. sounds lush. I did that to myself last night.. the face mask etc. It makes you feel like a new person to spoil yourself every once in awhile. I washed my hair last night with Aveda's shampure then used NG's Jojoba conditioner. My hair had great texture today..couldn't keep my hands off of it. Here that Dawn? I didn't use matching shampoo/conditioner and it did great!:-) adieu.. Cher~

Oh sure, go ahead and mock me for being a pawn of the shampoo manufacturers and a slave to my habits!(You didn't really have to qualify your jibe, I knew you were just kidding!)Finally came in off that new boat did you?Best wishes to you despite your unwarranted attacks on my hair care regimen! ; )Dawn> P.S.. I meant the message nicely to Dawn.. I know she> loves staying with matching shampoos/conditioners.> Just mentioned that to give her an idea maybe to> experiment.. No ill will intended at all Dawn.. :-)> Cher~

Hi Cher...I agree. So many people freak when they find out the price, but as Noreen...by the way...where has she been lately?.....talks about Beautifying Oil she points out how long it last her and we know how much hair she has to use it on.I generally keep a bottle for months and months. Sometimes I will mix a little of the Beautifying with olive oil although I actually prefer the Beautifying straight.By the way Cher...do you still do the Curessence hot towel trick?Take care. Still enjoying that boat?Hugs,Karen> Good idea.. The oil does a super job on those ends for> sure!
