textbooks and shoulders

[owlmoose]

I was having a chat about RSI and physical therapy with one of the medical assisting teachers, and she was complaining about the monitors in her computer lab being too low. "If only I had some extra textbooks or something to prop them up." Well, I have approximately a zillion extra textbooks -- outdated books, old versions, books that we aren't

My hair is very fine, straight, and slippery, and so normally when I put it up I end up re-doing it

Ditto. It is a nuisance. I suspect we both look like Hepburn in "The Lion in Winter". If you saw it, you must remember how her hair just sort of scatter-shot around her head. LOL

Fine hair is an abomination. Mine is like spider webs, always drifting across my face.

Having fine, slick hair is one of the banes of my existence. There's really not much one can do with it, although I've found a good cut helps. I have idly considered cutting it off, but it's been long for so many years that the very idea puts me into a sort of panic.

I haven't seen "The Lion in Winter" but I know the 'do you're talking about. It is rather like that.

I also have fine hair. I got a perm when I was 12 and it only stayed in for about 2 days- my hair is just too thin to support it. It's kind of annoying right now- not really long (I'm trying to grow it out), but not really short either. Meaning I really can't do much of anything with it. I've been considering getting it all cut off and having a boy haircut (but still nice-looking), but I don't think I have the guts to do it :)

I tried perms a couple of times. They held, but it took like 2 hours for them to set, and my hair felt totally fried for months. Not worth it. I've found that getting long layers is good for livening it up.

My hair is not nearly as straight as yours, but it is very fine. lately I have discovered two things that help- Pantene pro-V sheer volume shampoo, and not combing it throughout the day. I have actually managed to keep my hair sort of long and not looking totally flat and dead!

and for the record, I totally think you should try cutting your hair, at worst it will grow back, at best you will have a gorgeous new look :)

I have a volumizing shampoo that I get at my salon that makes a big difference. Getting a good layered cut gives it more life as well.

I probably should get up the guts to try it at some point. But I don't know, the fear is strong. :)

I understand. But it WILL grow back if you really don't like it.

I actually have the opposite problem. I love getting my hair cut, even when I decide I am going to let it get long. So if I find myself anyhere near my hairdresser after it has reached my shoulders, it ends up getting chopped. I am trying to stay away from Astor place these days :)

Oops, that was me, sorry. I didn't realize I wasn't looged in.

I have to tell you I went and got my hair cut after this conversation... oh well, it's not getting long this month :)

I figured it was you. I also figured you wouldn't be able to resist cutting it off. ;)
