Throwback Thursday

I love the Chinese bun! It's such a cool and cute style. So simple, and yet so awesome... Especially if you want to show off your pretty hairsticks too!

Attempted length shot

Ugh. None of these turned out well and I could't tell until after I had put my hair back up and transferred the pictures to my computer.

Hubby's "candid" shots were the best, actually. Heh...

Tonight's hair is two braids for a double bun tomorrow.

Hair stuff from Beauteque

I have been pretty happy with my Beauteque subscription. it has provided me with lots of fun new things to try, even though I have given a lot of stuff away to friends and coworkers. But then again, I am super picky with skin stuff..

This month, it arrived with three hair-items among the other stuff: A scalp massager, a conditioner and a shampoo.

Well, the shampoo went to hubby. It's kind of crazy how we haven't had to buy shampoo for him since... ever? Since he gets his full shampoo supply from my subscription boxes and 2-in-1 deals and stuff like that when I buy conditioners.

The conditioner? Mayo and banana? 

I'll bring it to work and see if someone is brave enough to want it. Maybe someone who doesn't hate the smell of bananas will want it.

The scalp massager turned out to be a fail too: I already have a Assoter scalp massaging brush I got back in 2014 from a Memebox superbox that I use once in a while. The new one turned out to be simultaneously too hard and too weak to go through my hair to really get into my scalp. How is that even possible?

Such a disappointment.

Today's hair

I just couldn't find the energy to redo the braid base yesterday, so today's hair is a slightly messy braided Chinese bun held with a single WoodArtJewelry stick.

It's funny how a single stick versus double sticks provide a slightly different bun-effect.

Throwback Thursday

The standard braided bun was such an odd one for me. It had a very short span of time (length) where it actually worked for me. Too short and I couldn't get that self-stabilizing effect, too long and it slipped and slided all over the place!
I think it only worked for me between mid back and tailbone length...

 

Public service announcement

Dear friends and readers: Madeira was awesome!!!
We will definitely return there some time in the future.

I could spam you with so many pictures!

But now that I've gotten that little outburst out of my system, I will return to my planned hair-posting soon enough.
