Arisia - more hair!

[juldea]

I took one more picture of the business end of my Arisia braid - sadly, after having slept on it for an evening, so it's a bit messy. Scratch that - the hair that wasn't braided is messy, but the braid itself was fully, firmly intact. I was in awe. Anyway, here. The braider has an LJ, she's blk.

I also snapped a picture on Friday afternoon after curling my hair pre-con. I understand the curls were pretty much gone by the time I really ran around on Friday night. I obviously need some kind of Product to keep them in... sigh. I think it looked really nice and want to try again sometime!

Wow, those braids are amazing! The curls are pretty hawt, too.

For the curls, I pulled out my at-least-15-year-old set of Clairol Lock 'n' Roll (http://www.google.com/search?q=clairol+lock+roll) curlers that have done me so well every few years when I use them, and they're still going strong. :) And so easy to use! Still too much work to justify getting up earlier on any given morning, but for special occasions....

As for the braid, I've already committed myself to visiting blk early next year if she sets up again. :)

That curly hair reminds me of my anitra :o)

I can see that! That's a high compliment to be given, thank you. :)

Oh, and the curls stay a little better if your hair is just the tiniest bit damp when you put the curlers in, and then you wait until your hair is totally dry to take them out.

Yup, that is one bit of knowledge I learned back in the day and kept with me. Sadly, I don't think they fully dried on Friday before I took them out, but I was on a tight schedule and londo was tapping his feet at me so I had to rush. :(

The braider at arisia posted some pics from her work there!

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Yes - I linked to those in my previous post. ;)

*feels dumb*

*realizes it's not new*

Oh, well, so I feel smart ;-)

(actually, technically, you linked to my SO's flickr, who was sharing the room with me and lent his camera for a few pictures) :)

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Er, good point, yes. :)

Wow, that curls picture makes you look just like an ex-colleague of mine (whom I saw briefly at Arisia), Sara Verelli. They definitely were mostly gone by the time I saw you, though.

Darn. They are very nice-looking curls right after they come out of the curlers.

Those braids are hott. I get my hair braided like that every year at the good old Norman Medieval fair.

And Pantene makes some pretty good not-outrageously-expensive non-aerosol hair spray. It doesn't make your hair as stiff as the old lady spray. Sometimes I curl my hair in a similar way and that's what I use.

And... I really feel like a frigging girl right now.

[juldea.livejournal.com]

But you give me good advice that I will now use! Being a girl isn't a bad thing. Thank you!

[flyingindie.livejournal.com]

Oh, definitely. Your hair is nice and thick. I bet Veronica would love it, too.

Beautiful:)
