Yar..so i thought it would be a good idea to have a trim before i set off for my 2 week holiday in Tassie....
Maybe not such a good idea after all...
I mean...i had a funky..."not-very-there" hairstyle...after straightening it...yea it came out in CLUMPS (when i ran my fingers thru my wet hair after washing off the 1st rebonding cream)...as u would expect if u had, since January 08, coloured, straightened, coloured again, permed and straightened again within a span of a few months. I would have expected my hair to one fine day, pack up and leave me altogether!
But it didn't, Bless!
And i promised not to do anymore damage to my hair until it had time to heal..or grow out..and i didnt for all of 2 months! What an achievement! I even got so used to the "not-so-there" look, i hardly noticed it. I had other major life-threatening distractions....no, Seriously.
So yea, back to my new funky hairstyle...
I always dispised the layered 'helmet' look...u know the one where it looks kinda heavy on the top..until your ears or chin and then thinned-out at the bottom? Just think Jellyfish.
Ok, i nearly passed out and dieded when i saw my hair after my hairdresser was done...
All i could muster was "er...thats a bit TOO layered isnt it?" - what else can i say or do?? its over and done with!! *wails*
Sudden urge to pick up that big pile of hair from the floor and attach it back where it rightly belongs!
So i went home...with my "helmet head"....sigh....it was a very excruciating week....i looked like Edward Sissorhand's test subject!
Tip : Layers on straightened/rebonded hair...NOT SO HOT.
it just sticks out in all the wrong places.

Hope Zara doesn't feel too bad now...(the groomer had to shave off all her fur because her clumps/tangles were so bad, it couldn't be saved) ...she wasn't very amused AT ALL! But now her Mommy has joined her with a funky haircut too!!! - she's so manja now...sleeps on my pillow...and sometimes...ON my head. Keeps it warm i suppose.

This is the kind of expression i get from wellmeaning friends when i whine to them and ask them about my hair....
BUT....after that horrid week, i found a way of rectifying the "lil head problem" i was having.
My old trusty faithful hair straightener....*KISSES*
You must be thinking..."girl, ur hair is already poker straight...what are u trying to achieve?"
Flicks and curls my friend! FLICKS AND CURLS!! Works wonders for funky freaky layered hair! WHOOPIEDOOO!!!
Admittedly, i'm still experimenting and some days i have less flicks than others (when i'm lazy/in a rush, CBB -couldn't be bothered)...buttttt it works!!
Yes, its a chore...it takes about 5 mins la....no has much hair..har har har!
So please, friends...if u do plan to pop by my place unannounced...in the early morning....be warned...that.....i might not look so, as i mentioned above, HOT (actually more of the "stuck-finger-in-socket look"), first thing in the morning, OKAY....
ok...the UPSIDE is i dont hit a snag when i run my fingers thru my hair...niceeee.....
But yea...i've come to terms with my hairstyle and experimenting to glory...Maybe not such a good idea after all...
