Dear LJ,

I am taking de-worming pills. You do not want to know.

I walked into an East Asian hair salon with a head full of really long blonde hair (four inches past my shoulder), and let the hair stylist do *whatever he wanted.*

Good news:
I lost about 1/3 of my hair, and it looks GREAT!!!

Bad news:
It cost more than $3 - ridiculous!!! Too expensive!!!
