Hair Part Two

Okay, I had questions. And I will endeavor to answer them to the best of my ability. Not that it is any great ability.

The question was about what I meant by last instruction about using the curling iron. I knew it wasn't clear when I wrote it, but I was too lazy to think of a way to put it into words.

Not that I came up with something brilliant. I just took my camera up to my curling iron and snapped a few pictures. Here they are. Hopefully it will cause the light to come on for those of you who were confused and frustrated by my last post.

(Disregard my funny faces. It's hard to curl your hair and take pictures at the same time, let alone smile pretty.)

At this point, you have your basic curl. Now run your fingers through it and shake it up a bit.

Now to discuss another little problem that busy moms tend to have when they don't wash their hair every day. (Those of you that have never considered this and find this disgusting, just keep in mind that it is actually HEALTHIER for your hair NOT to wash it every day or even every other day. The oils that are secreted that you wash off every time you wash your hair are protectants. Over-washing leads to dry hair. At least this is what I read. Or heard. Or both.)

I was discussing this with my hair stylist again this week at church and she suggested that anyone with light colored hair can erase the signs of oils at the roots with a little bit of baby powder. I'm excited to try this. For now - this is my solution:

So there you have it. We've about exhausted my knowledge of hair care. Add your own tips if you have them! (Or let me know if this is still not clear at all!)

  1. I'm still a little confused. The question is HOW does the end of the hair get into the curling iron. Are you using your second hand to wrap the hair around OR are you twisting the iron and the hair is sliding through the curling iron?

  2. My question is: How does your hair not catch on fire? I've always wondered that.

  3. Twisting the iron and kind of opening and closing it really fast to let the hair slide through. It only takes one hand to do it the way I do.

    Jared - I'm sure it would if you held the curling iron there too long. :)
