Every morning, seven days a week.

My scalp feels yucky if I don't wash my hair every day . . .

We're talking about hair, right?

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you shouldn't shampoo your hair everyday - that it'll style better a bit dirty. I am hair-styling challenged (and have short hair), so I haven't noticed too much of a difference between the days I shampoo vs. not shampoo.

My daughter has her first communion coming up and I'm trying to figure out how to do her hair. Anytime I've attempted to use a curling iron, the curls just fall right out. I just tried hot roller thingies and they didn't seem to hold either. The other problem with them was that you need someone competent to put them in, and that isn't me. Anyone know the magic trick hair stylists use to get the hair to hold (other than gobs of hair spray)?

mousse?

I haven't tried mousse with the hot rollers, but it didn't seem to help with the curling iron.

Sorry; I've maxed my hair-styling knowledge . . .

Hey, I was impressed that you had a suggestion at all.

Well, I had another suggestion; but it involved electricity and I figured you wouldn't wanna go that route . . .

Give me a few more years - when the hormones kick in. Then we'll talk.

I can wait.

I have extremely straight and fine hair (except for those cursed gray ones that are starting to show up). You should have seen how much stuff the guy put in my hair when he fixed it for my wedding. You could have set a plate on it and it would have held it up just fine.

?? starting to show up ??

pffft . . . I started going grey when I was 18.

I thought maybe she just got divorced yesterday and her son turned 17 overnight!!

. . . while causing greying earlier . . . <chortle>

Husband's upset. There's evidently a water main break in our front yard. They're digging it up now. It's going to make a mess for a long time. They won't be back to fix the yard until summer, I'll bet. At least we assume that's what it is.

Eww . . . what a mess! I'd be upset, too!!

poof and I have been around this . . . grey

And I prefer grey . . .

AZGman wrote:poof and I have been around this . . . grey

I'm going to side with gray.

Whatever . . . I pronounce the first "r" in February and the "t" in often, much to the consternation of many . . . it's what I was taught . . . like g-r-e-y.

Or I'm about the same age as Bernie Zimmerman.

. . . and like Bernie, I was eliminated from a spelling bee for not hyphenating cooperate . . . do you hyphenate co-operate?


Unlike Bernie, the only acceptable answer was the spelling in the school-provided study list.

It's gray.
When I was young they taught me co-ordinate and co-operate had a hyphen. They no longer do. Language evolves. Adapt.

What about the L in almond . . . or as almond growers say, "ammund."

Top Lather

I like that fresh feeling after I use herbal essence shampoo. My hair feels so light and fluffy. It also has a nice sheen to it.
