Hairy Blogging



Apologies. I'm sorry I haven't blogged. You know what stands in my way, I won't go on about it.

Confessions. For the same reason - I have only been on the elliptical once in about two weeks. I haven't had time. Fortunately, I haven't had time to eat either.

I'm coming along with my list of essential oil recipes. My plan is to offer samples of any that you are interested in trying so you can know which oils you would like to invest in.

Today I'd like to discuss hair. If you are male you probably aren't going to have any interest in anything I come up with today. I'm sorry for wasting your time.

I've always liked long curly hair. This may have something to do with the straight, boy-short hair that my mom felt was necessary when I was six years old. I deal with the trauma by letting my hair grow and curling it. Sorry, Mom. You did great in every other way.

Anyway, so recently while discussing this love of long curly hair but lack of time with my wonderful hair stylist, Shannon, she showed me how to curl and told me what kind of curling iron to buy. I found an amazing iron. It's a little pricey but worth every penny and more. It has 5 different heat settings and heats instantly. Here's a link to check it out.

So the actual curling takes a little practice but with this iron it only takes me 5-10 minutes to do ALL of my hair. And I have A LOT of hair. Several things to keep in mind:

1. Start a couple inches down, but curl from the top down.
2. Curl backward, not toward your face.
3. Do as large of a section as possible.
4. Try to curl the entire section of hair with one pass from the curling iron. I can't think of a better way to word this but it's very important.

If you are asking "Why are you telling me this?" then I'm again - sorry for wasting your time. It took me a long time to figure this out and it's so easy that I can do this on a regular basis now and be really happy with the results. I'm also telling you this so you can look up at me in the choir or passing you in the hall and not think to yourself "She keeps saying she has no time - how in the world does she have time to do that to her hair?"

I know you thought it. Some of you said it. That's okay, I would think the same thing.

So this is my tip for today. I suppose I should get back to putting this house together for the fourth or fifth time today. And Sunday's the easy day.

Let me know what you're thinking.
