I got a body perm in May, best thing I've done for my hair in years, seeing as it has no body what. so. ever.
And I've been putting coconut oil on it before I wash it. Wow! That stuff is awesome!
I haven't heard of using coconut oil. Does it make your hair oily?
I work in a "dry" room, so my hair gets very dry and brittle but it is also very fine, so there are many products that just make my hair look oily.
No, not particularly. Just catharticizing (neologism).
Actually, I do have a pesky cowlick. It can be quite irksome.
I can't help with the cowlick, Mutatis, sorry. I have one, too! It makes one whole side of my hair look different from the other side. So annlying.
As to the coconut oil, Iamnobody, try it on a day when you're not going anywhere. I do have the body perm which seems to have made my hair very dry. Otherwise, like you, my normal hair is fine, and I don't think something like this would have worked. Maybe once or twice a month.
Does it moisturise your hair, Qimi?
I shall opt for an attachment as opposed to thumbnails, which seem to be all the rage on the Forum.
I worked out the other day that my hairline is receeding significantly faster than continental drift.
I do wish my hair would make up its mind: either I go bald or I do not. It's this shilly-shallying that's so undignified. I'm far too pragmatic to be greatly distressed by the loss of my hair, but I'm not particularly ready to shave is all off yet...
I keep getting "hair restoration" treatment adverts since this thread has become active again.
:D
I bleached all my hair to dye it hot pink a year and a half ago, my uncle dyed it back to brown (he cares more about my stupid hair than I do) so now I'm growing my hair out and trimming it little by little until the part that was bleached is gone. I can clearly tell where it begins, because it's hard to get a brush through the bleached part when my hair's wet.
Doesn't pink show on your natural colour?
I used to dye my hair plum when I was younger but had no problems with it.
I dyed my hair white once, for a bet. It didn't look anywhere near as cool as I'd imagined, and fortunately was not permanent!
^I once tried to dye my hair with pink and blue stripes, and the colors combined and made grey somehow. I was the only fifteen year old with grey hair that I've seen yet, and with the brown underneath I thought it looked cool, but I changed it when the guy I walked home from school with called me an old lady.
It would, but I bleached my hair first so it turned almost clear it was so white. The pink was really vibrant at first, more like fuschia, then it faded to sort of a cherry-blossom pink. I thought it was beautiful, but apparently according to my uncle, pink is more of a "highlight color." :-/Quote:

It is hair like mine that inspired the inventors of hats. It usually looks like it has been trimmed by a chimpanzee, and it doesn’t help that a cow has licked me on both sides of my head (front and back).
Still trying to get used to... Mornings are fun with hair sticking out in all directions while seeming pressed in all the wrong places.Quote:

On a positive note, I have stopped jumping and screaming every time I looked in the mirror.
Re. Thumbnails. We are trying to discouraging the use of too many large images because they make viewing difficult unless you have very fast connection.
I've got to say, Scher, that's about the finest head of hair I've seen. And what were you thinking when you cut it? That said, around here, we all get high-speed low-drag haircuts for the summer. It's so much less trouble - and less wear-n-tear on the pool filter.
Here are a few links as to why coconut oil is good for hair, and how to use it:

http://www.coconut-oil-central.com/c...-for-hair.html
Even Lokasenna might want to take a look! :)
Scher, is that your hair in the picture? If it is, it's quite beautiful.
Smart growing it out for a little longer.Quote:

Anyway, I'll post a picture before I have it cut...in five years time. :lol:
Good call re the thumbnails!
Thank you, Sancho. Lucky catch in the gene pool ;)Quote:

See you in 2016? ;)Quote:

I am hoping that I will have a decent bob by Christmas. :goof:

Scher's a nice lady, no matter what anybody says. :D (kidding!)
It might help it grow faster, Scher. I don't know if that's one of the claims. It will make it shiny and soft. It's really good to ingest a bit, too. Coconut oil has lots of good properties. Just get a good one, you want to get Virgin Coconut Oil (no jokes, please).
It's also really good for your skin. I've been using it for about a week, and let's just say that it has made a difference. It takes a bit of getting used to, because it is an oil. Here's more about it here; same web site, just expanded:

Coconut oil you say? I think I'll give it a whirl. I used to use jojoba oil for my hair but it got diffcult to find so I stopped.
Yeah, jojoba good for a lot of things, too. I think you can still find it online, papaya. But coconut oil has lots of good properties, too. You might like it also.
Hey, that's an idea, hehe. I swear, growing my hair that long will probably take as long as that. I don't even want to think about the time I'll have to spend in the mornings drying and styling it :out: It's for a good cause I guess.Quote:

My friend Janine once asked me not to cut my hair but I had a haircut today by my unprofessional sister. Though she believes it looks fine but I have a feeling I look ridiculous! I had a bad hair day. I guess I also need some coconut oil now.
