Hairstyles and Attitudes

[cjsmith]

Topic stolen from mactavish

I am looking for a low-maintenance hairstyle. My hair is fine, limp, and only slightly wavy when long; it is springy-curly when short. I would like a short hairstyle for swimming, riding in convertibles (Rob's thinking of buying a convertible), gardening, and rolling over in my sleep. I would like a long hairstyle so I don't have to go get it cut every so often and so I don't have to worry which way the hair is pointing while it dries. I definitely require a hairstyle with NO blow-drying, NO curling, NO gel. If I can't do it with a comb it's not going to get done.

Can't have all of these, but I can have all but one. Front runner is a buzzcut.

My buttlength ponytail is the lowest-maintenance hairstyle I have ever had. No wasted time at some weird-smelling hair salon. No worrying about which way it will flop when it dries. However, I am really getting tired of waiting all day for it to dry, avoiding swimming, tying it up for hot tubs, having it get in my face during anything even remotely fun, etc etc. And it's not like it flatters me. Then again, neither would a buzzcut...!

I LOVE MY Hair Lube!

If you have long fine hair, you may be interested in checking out the best product to come along in many years for detangling and silkening hair. I'm addicted to it, and spread it to long-haired friends whenever I can (ask joedecker about it!). It's helped me to reduce my combing-out time by a factor of 10! I've nicknamed it "Hair Lube" since it used to come in a lube-shaped bottle (cylinder with big dome-shaped pull-top) *and* it felt kinda like lube. It *works* like a great lube for your hair, that leaves it silky instead of icky or sticky! It's SunGlitz Repair & Shine (http://www.farouk.com/main/consumer/sunglitz/coreframe.html) by Farouk Systems Inc. Inexplicably, it's not sold as a detangler, but it's a SPECTACULARLY good detangler, and I won't be without it, ever! It's a leave-in product, and works like a charm. Many of my friends now are addicted as well. I might have cut my hair off by now without it. It makes that much of a difference to me. I LOVE MY HAIR LUBE!

Friends with long THICK hair have found that they like another Farouk Systems product: Biosilk Silk Therapy (http://farouk.premierdomain.net/main/consumer/silktherapy/index.html) (I think it's called that) which works similarly -- it's a bit thicker formulation.

This stuff can be hard to find; they have a link to help find local salons that sell the stuff (http://www.farouk.com/main/index.html).

Jeez, they should pay me for all the advertising I've done for them over the years....

Hmmm, I think I need to post this stuff in my journal too; I've been meaning to write a little blurb about this stuff that means so much to me!

Hair lube pretty much rules, yeah. :)
