Hair! I wanna live forever...

[olethomas]

^^ I don't even shampoo anymore (maybe once every few months just to clear it out), just condition every 4-5 days. Hair looks and feels good, but isn't as unkempt and oily as it was when I was doing no shampoo no conditioner. Maybe give it a go if you're willing to experiment.

sounds really interesting. i'd like to go natural i'm just not sure about the smell the first while. ehehe. do you have a picture of your hair to show?

Been reading a lot about hair recently, but every fucking place tells you differently. Even started reading books on the science of hair care. For guys with long hair, how do you treat it? Should I be getting trims every now and then to cut away the damaged hair?

I am currently using the hanz de fuko organic waxes (sponge wax, quicksand) and they are ace, great texture and overall feeling.

how's the hold on those? i'm true to my LUSH 'dirty' paste. has this very eco-esque avocado scent to it and it's not really sticky. the hold is not great, though. and i'm sweating most of it out when i'm working out (= hair length demands me to use hair products while working out to stop hair from jumping up and down when exercising).

It depends on the length. The sponge wax offers a strong hold but keep in mind that waxes in general are useless when sweating a lot. You could apply some hairspray on top of the wax.

yeah now it's about three inches long or something. just a little too shrt to put in a ponytail yet and i feel like this every time i enter the machines-making-me-move-up-and-down-section at the gym

Why don't you wear a headband?

[olethomas]

alright, ordering this cute little gem on etsy as we speak

but yeah, i found headbands alright. look a bit like a pineapple, though.

[messenoire]

julius makes a great headband and rick makes good neckwarmers that double as headbands actually. try either one out. i have a few hours free and will be lurking sz so if you guys have hair questions i can field them for a bit.

People who are exercising always look like idiots, a headband isn't going to make things any worse

^ Well, if you go shorter, you might want to soften your look.

Perhaps with a leopard print.......
