HAIR

I have been letting my hair grow for years. Trimming when it gets rough and shaggy, but only enough to keep the ends straight. I take biotin and use good quality shampoo and twice as much conditioner as indicated. The result? My hair looks better than it ever has. It's shiny, no split ends at … Continue reading HAIR

HAIR

Blame it on the relentless online advertising for make-up, wrinkle removers and every known kind of hair product including some very fancy -- and obscenely expensive -- products. I'm not getting roped into wrinkle removers which might be the MOST expensive items. It works, but only works for a few hours. After that, back come … Continue reading HAIR

WASHING UP & SHOWERING DOWN

When is it time to hit the shower? Daily? Less often? I started to question the absolute need for a daily scrub down when a friend who was a hairdresser told me to stop daily hair washing. "Your hair," he said, "Is supposed to have natural oils. It's not supposed to be fluffy and dry. … Continue reading WASHING UP & SHOWERING DOWN

THE DAY THE DRYER BLEW UP

Hair dryers. I've owned a blower hair dryer so long I can't even remember when I bought my first one. I was probably 17, give or take a year. It was a Conair and it cost about $20 and the year was about 1964. Over the years, I bought more Conair dryers, usually when they … Continue reading THE DAY THE DRYER BLEW UP

MANY KINDS OF MURDER If I brush my hair roughly and cause some of it to fall out, am I committing follicular homicide?

WHITE HAIRS, BLACK SHIRTS – Marilyn Armstrong

FOWC with Fandango — Shed I was torn between writing about the shed which is falling down or the dog, who is shedding long white hair on my nice, clean black shirt. Let's go with the dog. We didn't have a problem with the two Scotties. Not only do they mostly match my clothing, but they … Continue reading WHITE HAIRS, BLACK SHIRTS – Marilyn Armstrong

SHINY HAIR: WHAT’S THE SECRET?

RDP Monday: LUSTRE A friend of mine, also suffering from thinning hair, pointed out that at least my hair is shiny. It's the result of insanely expensive shampoo and conditioner, a carefully chosen hairbrush ... and unmitigated luck. I don't have a lot of hair ... but by golly, it has lustre. The secret -- … Continue reading SHINY HAIR: WHAT’S THE SECRET?

THE ROYAL WE – Marilyn Armstrong

FOWC with Fandango — Royal The royal we -- that is to say, me and Garry -- went to the barber yesterday. There were no more excuses and it was getting ever increasingly difficult to find those magnets in his head. It sounds pretty funny, when I think about it, finding the magnets in your … Continue reading THE ROYAL WE – Marilyn Armstrong

BUT MY HAIR LOOKS GREAT! – Marilyn Armstrong

Much to my shock and delight, my granddaughter and her mom went and picked up groceries and a prescription for us today. Wow! And then they came back and Kaity dyed my hair, then trimmed it. The last time she trimmed it was the end of January 2016. In between, I snipped a little off … Continue reading BUT MY HAIR LOOKS GREAT! – Marilyn Armstrong
