my hair...

i have eyebrows that are arched aristocratically (i'm not aristocrat though), a little wider nose (blame my ancestors he he he) and a slightly bigger mouth (ha ha ha). what makes me feel good though is that what people first notice about me is my long, straight, black, lustrous, silky hair. hmmm, i'm still thinking for more adjectives...lol! well, i can only do it here so, please, let me brag about it, ok?

while others are gifted with beautiful skin, finer facial features or a perfect pair of legs, i am thankful i am blessed with beautiful hair. it was not actually that beautiful when i was in grade school and about to approach high school. it used to be light brown, very unmanageable and heavily plagued with split ends. thanks to my mother who regularly massaged my scalp and nourished my hair with coconut oil (and occasional coconut milk, too), until i was old and not lazy enough to do it myself.

while some women spend much for hair spa, straightening, rebonding and other hair beautifying stuff, i just follow a simple regimen for my hair: regular application of coconut oil a few hours before i take a shower, shampoo and conditioner. a hair dryer/blower is a big NO! i don't remember ever visiting any salon to have more than just hair trim. my hair also does not need constant combing or brushing. once in the morning or right after a shower is enough and running my fingers through it wonderfully takes care of my hair the rest of the day.

the disadvantage of having this kind of hair is that i tend to have the same hairstyle all my life: just straight whether it is short or long, unless, of course, i have it curled. i find curly hair sexier but it's really not for me. chemicals easily damage my hair and it becomes as rough as a hay. layered hair style, which purpose is to create an illusion of a much thicker hair does not do justice either. shaggy slightly works but you know, it's still straight, only with some touch of style. oh, no, please don't tell me to shave it off or sport a flat top for a change.

anyways, i'm happy with the way my hair is. i plan to grow it looooonger and i have no plan to have it trimmed until its looooong enough to donate it (the cut portion) to the national cancer society.

Great hair sis. You look after it very well, better than me. Nice to know that someone else brush their hair once a day.

brushing one's hair more than once a day is healthier but i'm used to just brushing it once and it works great. it may not work on you so don't follow my example...lol. anyways, thanks a lot, sis!

I only brush my hair once most of the time because I'm not fussy and I don't carry a hair brush either.

I wear lip gloss or lip balm with moisturiser. I don't really like the feel of lipstick.

I've got guys hair and its thicker. Its about as long as you ladies' hair. If I wash it more than once every 3 days (unless it gets filthy), then it only drys out and the Split ends come at me. I comb my hair at least twice a day. Shower with cheap shampoo and then use moisturizing conditioner. After, a couple of minutes, rinse. However, I try to leave a noticeable amount of the conditioner in my hair. By the time I've dried it (towel only), then a brush and band, and its fine. I must confess that I love my hair after it has fully dried. It curls, shines, it SO SOFT, and then it smells good too! OH... No lip gloss!!! Dave
