ThatCyndiGirl Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) So, I have this hair that, well,.....has an attitude problem. It is petulent and behaves like a moody adolescent. I am TRYING to make myself a bit more presentable as I realized that looking like I perpetually "just got outta' the pool" doesn't really look stylish. :glare: So, to that end I thought that maybe I would try to train some of the waves/curls that are in the front to.....behave. As we "speak" my hair is in a time-out in a clip. I will change my avatar to my most recent pic if I can figure out how. Until then....any thoughts? Ok, apparently linking from within is not in the cards today. A pic of the back is here. It was taken the day I put henna on it, so the curl was relaxed. I firmed it up with amla: http://ohmynoodness.blogspot.com/2008/08/henna.html Edited July 12, 2010 by ThatCyndiGirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCyndiGirl Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Am I to infer from the lack of response that either: A) No one has tried said curlers or... B) I should just suck it up and deal with the weird hair. Hats/scarves are optional/necessary on really HORRID hair days? :001_huh: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) I have no experience with hair like yours (mine is flat and I'm always trying to get it LESS relaxed.). From a flat-haired girl: Have you heard about the non-shampooing method of taming curly hair? It seems to be well liked among some of the ladies here. Hopefully a few of them will speak up.

ThatCyndiGirl Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Thanks, Darla. Yes, I do a modified curlygirl routine. (A sorta low-poo instead of no-poo). I spent the first 35 years of my life with stick-straight hair, so I get what you are saying. It turned wavy/curly/wurly after the birth of my youngest. (I tell people that spending 5 straight hours in the pool must have curled my hair, but I doubt it was that. ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Sorry, I am no help. My hair always looks like I have had it in curlers. I dread the day my wavy haired dd needs hair help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatCyndiGirl Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Mungo, I have always thought that your hair looked so cute! Both of my daughters have wavy/curly hair. My oldest wears it short, but is growing it out and my youngest (whose birth brought the curls to my own head) has cute spirals and lately I have been braiding it. We know how humid it is outside by how much her hair seizes up/shrinks. My mother will walk into the room and say, "oh, it must be HUMID out there! Claire is a mess of curls!"

People are always asking "did you get your hair cut?" and I'm always saying "no, it's raining." :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can probably relate to the blog post: (I'm the one on the left) http://ohmynoodness.blogspot.com/2009/08/high-school-reunion.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
