Chronicles of Hairnia

[iamnobody]

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.

[Mutatis-Mutandis]

No, not particularly. Just catharticizing (neologism).

Actually, I do have a pesky cowlick. It can be quite irksome.

[qimissung]

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.

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.

[Scheherazade]

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.

[Lokasenna]

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!

[JuniperWoolf]

^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.

Doesn't pink show on your natural colour?

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." :-/

So Miss Dandelion? How are you feeling about the crop

Also, what is this thumbnail business everyone's going on about??

[Sancho]

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.

Because I had let my hair grow a little more this time round, my chop is not as short as it was last time, which makes it a little easier. Just a little!

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.

[Sancho]

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:

Even Lokasenna might want to take a look!

Scher, is that your hair in the picture? If it is, it's quite beautiful.
