It’s time to model!

My hair is freshly fixed up and now its time to go.

It’s still slightly damp and wavy from an emergency bun but it should fix itself.

I’m nervous! Wish me luck!

 

Fail and more fail

Some days ago I found a really big and soft old towel in the back of our closet. I claimed it as my personal hair towel.

My hair has been pretty tangly and irritated for a few days too. I just assumed it needed an S&D and some moisture. I put it on top of my mental to do-list.

Yesterday I picked a tangle apart and found it had been formed around a piece of lint. Again, nothing weird about that: When my hair is dry it seems to attract lint.

This morning in my half sleeping state I grabbed the wrong towel for my hair and wrapped the soft one around my body. I noticed my hair was a lot easier to detangle but didn’t connect the dots until I unwrapped the body towel and noticed my skin was covered in lint.

Crap! The soft old towel had “shed” lint in my hair and caused tangles!

Who would have thought a simple thing like a towel could cause tangles? 

As I combed and braided my hair I pondered how to add it to my beginners guide to healthy hair-article.

I combed through my unbraided hair to smooth it over before braiding the last bit when…

*Snap*

Yep, the one Hairsense comb I thought was remotely ok broke.

I guess when I last wrote that “I seriously couldn’t be more disappointed in Hairsense than I am right now” it was taken as a challenge?

I bought 6 combs from Hairsense. I have only used 4 of them so far.

• One of them developed a nasty tear in one of the teeth after just 5 uses.
• Another one broke after having owned it for 2½ month.
• The combs all have a rough and unimpressive finish. (And yet their website sings the praises of how fantastically amazing and handmade their combs are and how they “Put an end to cruelty to hair!”. Right.)
• The owner didn’t notice me of shipping the combs or even having received my order and when pressed for information hinted that it was somehow my email that was at fault.
• She basically wrote lolspeak to me in all communication.

Yea, she is a real piece of work and her products are awful.

Google has mostly good reviews (Maybe I was just really, really, really unlucky with her?) but also some really telling ones… 

Here is a quote of a conversation with this woman back from 2008 where she writes the same weird lingo missing a bunch of “the”s.

Someone here also found the combs to be sharp. Also it seems their eBay combs are a lot cheaper than in their website?

A review from someone who also comments on the rough state of the combs.

Someone had her sending the wrong comb twice.

Another warning about the finish on the combs being sharp and damaging.

I feel guilty for ordering a comb for a friend as well!

Fantastic hair sighting

On my way home from the gym I drove by a women who must have hair both thicker and longer than me.

Wow!

Seriously, I can count on now two fingers how many times I have encountered someone in real life who had longer and thicker hair than me.

This woman had medium brown hair in a braid reaching slightly below classic length. Even though she was on the short side that is definitely long hair! What was most impressing was how thick it looked- and she even had bangs!

I’m slightly jealous, haha! 

Glorious post cassia hair

Ah, the glossiness

Oh, the increased thickness

M-hm! I like!
