Hell has frozen. I have decided to stop fighting my hair's natural state (wavy bordering on curly) and stop ironing it (for the most part). I'm about a week into this adventure - here's the run-down:
Day One: I got the pink dyed back to black for the winter, and had some layers cut in that would enhance what my hair does on its own in moments of high rebellion rather than make me look like a two foot tall curly-needled spruce. Bought some products.
Day Two: Took leave of my senses and brushed it. Moving along....
Day Three: Started experimenting with shampooing the night before, deep conditioning, and drying just my growing-out bangs. Got up in the morning and....
Day Four: Took leave of my senses and brushed it. Again. Hid the brush.
Day Five: Did not brush it. Did not brush it. Did not brush it. Ardently finger-combed in desperation, but did not brush it.
Day Six: Overdid it on the wave spray. Like, WAY overdid it. Way, way, WAY overdid it. People walking behind me could probably taste the wave spray from the wave spray vapors my hair was emitting. It looked dull, so I grabbed the hair polish - this pomade stuff that rocks socks when used correctly. Overdid it on the polish. My hair was flat, crunchy, and looked like shiny zoomed-in-upon burned ramen. And my head itched.
Day Seven: Realized I was making it too hard and using WAY too much stuff even before the obvious overload, and that finger-combing with some of the hair polish while using one/one-hundredth of the wave spray resulted in something really, REALLY cool.
Today: In the midst of weather that used to give me hair nightmares, I am having the best hair day ever. It's damp and windy - - and my hair's having a party instead of being restrained in a clip or a ponytail so it won't do what it is prone to do, which is precisely what I'm letting it do.
What hair brush?
