Experiment started, wish me luck
One of Mistress Geraldine's friends mentioned in a conversion about long hair over in FB that when she goes to a cold climate she slathers her hair in conditioner and wraps it in a turban to keep it from drying too much. Since mine has gotten much shorter since moving to Luleå (it only goes to my shoulders, when once it touched my hips) I have taken her comment as inspiration and started an experiment as of this morning: I coated my hair in coconut oil and wrapped my hair in a long scarf, twisting the scarf once around my head, sticking the end through that loop and letting the tail hang down to my hips. It turned out to be quite comfortable for wearing to work (but I took it off for acroyoga). I hope that it helps, that my hair quits breaking off and starts re-gaining some (or all) of its lost length.
