Hair Day 2 after using my new curl technique. |
My hair is so fine that sleeping on it reduces any hairstyle to limp rags. My challenge, therefore, was to find a way of styling my hair that salvaged my mornings. With my hair long and straight, I could clip it up, but often the ends looked awkward - they simply stuck out straight.
Here is the solution:
Sponge rollers |
Square-sponge Bob Pants? (Does anyone else think this looks like some kind of medieval tampon? No wonder they cover it in nylon.) |
But, by applying the sock-bun technique (a top-knot pony tail, damp hair, sleep overnight), I discovered curls that last all day!
What the top-knot looks like when I get up in the morning, after sleeping in the curlers all night. (No, I haven't tried Botox. Why do you ask?) |
They are really easy to sleep in, and Steve even says they look cute. |
As usual, I get too hot to wear my hair down all day, so most of the day, I wear it up which, with curls, is much more flattering than with straight hair.
Not exciting from the front, but check out the back. |
Trust me: it does not look as pretty as this if it doesn't have curls. Without curls, the hairs at the top simply poke straight up in the air. |
The second-best thing is that this does not damage your hair as it does not use heat.
The third-best thing is that it is probably better for the environment as it doesn't use electricity or heat up your house. (If I were really environmentally conscientious, I would use rags instead of sponges.)
Now, to reward your patience for following this whole post, here is an outtake picture. (It's really hard to take a self-portrait.)
For those of you who think I am photogenic: this is evidence to the contrary. I'm trying to figure out if the remote shutter-release is working: "Is this thing on?" |
