Thanks Paper! I'm still not happy with the picture. Our camera has too many pixels and when I size it down, it comes out a little grainy. If I ever get that figured out, maybe I'll start a hair journal and just put all the pictures on there.
The suggestion about the clarifying shampoo is a good one. I do use it occasionally but I never thought it might help when my hair gets hard to comb. I sometimes wonder if it's also the weather and humidity. The last few days, my hair has been so soft and silky feeling. Then other times it's so coarse. I can't pin it down to anything I'm using on it.
Do you do anything else like mayo? Or do you ever use jojoba as a hot oil treatment?
I don't know about the email notifications either. I used to get them until about a week ago.

| Hey thanks Pburgh!! It probably takes five to ten minutes. Much less time than washing, drying, and curling a shorter layered style!! Gives you another goal to look forward to. You can do it! |

| THanks that is def another goal I will definately do. Ill find someone to teach me tho lol. I honestly think having long hair sometimes is less time consuming than a long one cause u can always just through it in a ponytail or a braid and be set. what do u think? |

I think you should start a hair journal! It would be a great place to post all your pictures. Then we can all follow your progress!

Hey Paper! I got my Flexis today. I haven't tried them yet but I'm pretty sure I need the extra large for a french twist. I don't think the large is going to work. They are very pretty though!
Pburgh, yes I definitely think long hair is easier, for me anyway. You're right...throw it in a ponytail or braid and you're good to go!

| Paper, I got two flexis - medium and large. The medium works for a ponytail, the large works for the "tail up" if you looked at the hairstyles on their webpage. I'll need an extra large for a french twist or bun. They really are nice. They hold well without pulling or hurting. I'm ordering the extra large as soon as I post this! |

Hey Kitty Kat! I just found out about http://www.lillarose.biz/index.aspx - this site. It's by the flexi-8 people. They found different things to make out of their flexi's. Pretty cool, huh? I'm thinking of buying a headband and O ring. |

| Oh Paper, you're a very bad girl introducing me to all these sites. I just ordered my extra large Flexi yesterday. It shipped today. That new site is really neat. I wonder how those Flexi's are made?? They don't seem to pull and/or hurt the way most hair things do. Let me know if you get an O ring or headband. |
