Years ago, before someone finally sat me down and lay the truth on me about things, things being my out-dated, fuzzy, bleached out, dried out pitiful rag of a hairstyle, I played the part of my own do-it-yourself stylist. I drug-stored colored and weed-whacker cut my own hair. For … [Read more...]
Tame those tresses with a different kind of brush
July 24, 2008
I have always been jealous of those women with straight hair that is perfectly styled, not a hair out of place. They have long, smooth and sleek locks that shimmer in the sunlight. Their hair bounces with each step and looks so smooth and sleek in the sunlight. With a little help from my … [Read more...]
How To Cut Bangs
July 16, 2008
Ever have bangs that looked like this? ME TOO! Yet, I didn't really need a haircut, just a trim of my bangs. I learned a little trick years ago that helps haircuts last a couple more weeks before going in for a trim. (Note: if I had any pride I would have put on some foundation but … [Read more...]
When Dirty Air Is A GOOD Thing
July 14, 2008
The first time I went to my new hairstylist, after she washed and cut and dried my hair, she took this big purple spray bottle and started spraying this aerosol mist throughout my hair. I'm talking inside, outside, upside down. I thought it was ordinary hairspray, and I was sure I was … [Read more...]

The Name's a Mouthful, But Just Because It's Mousse Doesn't Mean You Should Eat It.
June 13, 2008
I've never been one to put a whole lotta product in my hair. Usually they leave my fine, wavy-ish blond (What***** Well, I didn't SAY it was naturally blond, now did I?) hair looking and feeling dull as dishwater, and maybe a little crunchy, and sometimes they even give me these little hurty … [Read more...]

Ojon Hair
April 6, 2008
In my twenties, I had gorgeous long hair. It was shiny and silky and smooth. It has never been thick or remarkable in any way, but it's always been pretty enough to not have to think much about it. (Does that make any sense? It did to me.) Then last fall something … [Read more...]
Nexxus Retexxtur
March 24, 2008
Last fall sometime, when I had my midlife hair crisis, and got four haircuts in six weeks (or something like that, who's counting?) I went on a rampage to find products that might salvage what hair I had left. One such product was Nexxus Retexxtur. I read somewhere in my Internet travels that … [Read more...]
