Hairspray Thread
 

I'm living on the edge.

I decided to go au naturale today!





My hair is past my shoulders now and I usually always spray flexible hairspray on it to keep it out of my face or looking decent for work.

It's going to be in the 90's today with 25 mph gusts, so I decided to skip that ole sticky hairspray and let it blow in the wind!

:bliss :bliss :bliss

Hairspray doesn't work here in Texas...the wind is always blowing...going natural is in style...go for it:)

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

the wind is blowing again
the wind is blowing again
just like the day of Pentecost...


Your lucky you only have to read those words and not hear me...I guess the word is “sing” but anyone who can hear wouldn’t think so.

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

I think you should occasionally use the "Big Sexy" Hairspray just for kicks:) LOL

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

I hear the Lanny Wolfe Trio singing:toofunny in my head as I read this:)

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

I bought it and didn't like it at all - too stiff. I use Pantene Flexible - it smells nice too.

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

Did you read the thread where SH posted what Au Natural means?

1. In the natural state.

2. Naked.

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

Yes mam' - my hair is in the natural state. Correct?

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

I like stiff! My favorite is Paul Mitchell's Freeze and Shine.

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

Yes, with no artifice. I very seldom use hair spray.

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

I am also looking into the trend for not using commercial shampoos.

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

What would you use?

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

Some of the things women used before, household products. I believe baking soda is one of the items you can use. Also eggs and mayonnaise are mentioned, although I don't get the whole concept yet. I know mayonnaise is good for hair damaged by perms or other styling products and heat overuse.
I do remember my Mom using vinegar to rinse our hair with, it detangled but required a lot of rinsing. This was before creme rinse and conditioner's.

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

I couldn't do that. I know beer has been used to wash hair too!

Vinegar is usually for dark hair and lemon juice for blondes.

No Poo Shampoo

2 fl oz distilled water
2 fl oz pure castille soap (I recommend Dr. Bronners)
2 fl oz pure (drinkable) aloe vera gel
1/4 tsp oil (jojoba, almond, avocado or emu work perfect)

put in a clean bottle, shake to mix (the ingredients will separate) A little goes a long way! Apply to scalp, massage in and squeeze the suds (soft water=lots, hard water=a little) thru the ends of the hair. May repeat if you have tons of hair spray etc. in your hair... usually I don't need to...

Egg Shampoo

1 egg
1/4 tsp oil (see above)
1 tsp lemon juice
1 TBS pure castille soap
1/2 Cup distilled water

blend these together (a whisk works well) and cleanse your hair... ACV rinse afterwards..

Just got this in an email today:


1. Budweiser beer conditions the hair
2. Pam cooking spray will dry finger nail polish
3. Cool whip will condition your hair in 15 minutes
4. Mayonnaise will KILL LICE it will also condition your hair
5. Elmer's Glue - paint on your face allow it to dry peel off and see the dead skin and blackheads if any

6. Shiny Hair - use brewed Lipton Tea
7. Sunburn - empty a large jar of Nestea into your bath water
8. Minor burn - Colgate or Crest toothpaste
9. Burn your tongue? Put sugar on it!
10. Arthritis? WD-40 Spray and rub in kill insect stings too

11 Bee stings - meat tenderizer
12. Chigger bite - Preparation H
13. Puffy eyes - Preparation H
14. Paper cut - crazy glue or chap stick (glue is used instead of sutures at most hospitals)
15. Stinky feet - Jello!

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

Ill never be able to eat jello again!!!

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

Then avoid hospitals, that is the favored dessert at most of them.

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

About time you got over your Jezzie spirit and let that natural holy hair glory fly free !!!

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

Can you imagine all the people that go and get expensive facials reactions if they knew that the techs were putting Elmer's Glue on their face?

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

Yep, letting it grow longer so I can wear it up for my daughter's wedding so I'll be cooler!

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

A warning for those of us who have bad eyesight, never mistake a tube of Preparation H with your Colgate or Crest toothpaste as my FIL did once.

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

My hair is getting too long, and it is just blah. Fine, thin, and straight. No body at all.

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

LOL - good way to avoid that is just not to purchase the PH - - yuck!

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

Use a volumizer shampoo - of course, you can't do that if you're going to natural shampoo.

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

I found out if I use a really large round brush when I dry my hair it makes it look a lot better. But if I go natural it is just flat.

Re: Hairspray Thread
 

#8 Minor burn...:nah...LOL Liquid antacid! I'm totally serious!!!
I use Bed Head products. Ego Boost and After Party. Use this on wet or dry hair. Leaves soft and shinny. I also use Moisture Maniac too, only on the ends.
Hairspray- I need to keep this under lock and key from my daughter...Tresemme. I love this hairspray when I need it.

and.....
#15......:girlfriend...LOL:toofunny
