Thank you, @Ispend2much6! I’m really proud of my son, too, he’s a real introvert and this was a big leap for him. He did really well and it turns out he loved it in England!

@curlychiquita glad you are feeling better.   I am dreaming about going to London.  Hope you had an awesome time.

[curlychiquita]

Thank you, @CorgiMommy! We had a great trip but definitely overdid it most days. I always do that on trips, though!

Today I used the dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream Original  and #Briogeo Style + Treat™ Hair Styling Sleek Stick 0.5 oz / 15 g  to create a simple sleek braid look. I used a small amount of the dae on mid lengths to end of my damp hair, and used a small amount of the Briogeo to smooth down flyaways at my hairline/around my face. I always get goofy-looking flyaways and little stray wisps sticking up as my hair dries, especially around my hairline, and both of these products seemed to keep those in place pretty well. I will see how my hair looks when I take the braid out tomorrow, but so far I'm happy with the results!

Oh, and I also used one of the cute BIC hair ties 😊 (I had to wrap it like 8 times bc my hair is so thin at the ends, I'm definitely due for a trim!)

I didn't realize your hair is this long, @caitbird ! 😍  I love the long braid!

[caitbird]

@Titian06  thank you! Yes, it is quite long haha 😅

[Cissy63]

@caitbird  You have gorgeous hair😍.  It looks so sleek and shiny🤩

[caitbird]

@Cissy63  thank you so much! 😊

[Ispend2much6]

@caitbird  Pretty hair!  Do you braid it wet in order to get waves?  I read somewhere that the new hot curling product is...rigatoni pasta.  Not kidding.  People are using those with clips to style their hair.  And they add the pasta while their hair is wet, which would start to soften it.  means I guess it's not bad to smell like pasta. lol

[Titian06]

@Ispend2much6 - That sounds gross; having damp pasta gunk in your hair?!? 😝

[eshoe]

Ummmmmmm no thank you @Titian06 @Ispend2much6 @danielledanielle 🤢

[Ispend2much6]

@Titian06  I agree, but I wonder if the slight bit of starch released from the damp pasta would encourage curl hold?  I'm thinking way too much about this!

[Titian06]

@Ispend2much6 - If you actually do try this, I'd love to know what happens. 😁

[caitbird]

@Ispend2much6  thank you! I do get some waves if I braid it wet and let it dry that way, but they never stay long. I am going to try the Moroccanoil hairspray today after I take the braid out, and see if that and the Dae help the waves to stay longer. I will report back!

Also - that is so funny to me! I know I would love to have some waves or even curls in my perpetually straight hair, but I'm not sure I'm desperate enough to resort to using pasta 🤣 the things people come up with...🙄

[danielledanielle]

@Ispend2much6, 🤦🏽‍♀️. C'MON

[Ispend2much6]

@danielledanielle  'Tis true.  I meant to check out the rigatoni supply at the grocery store today.  I might try it for the "fun" of it, but definitely not using my artisanale pasta!

Well well...look at this from Amazon (this is the brand TikTok is featuring.)

Voila!  The rigatoni wave.  Courtesy of Tik Tok.  Since my layers are long, I may have to use cannelloni next time. 😂

Hair dampened slightly with water and sprayed with #Colorwow raise the root. Didn't notice any pasta scent, to be honest.Rigatoni left in for 1.5 hours, then fluffed with finger. I still have waves, with no hair spray used, three hours later. The layers I rolled are long, so the waves are pretty curly considering their length.

Kudos to you, @Ispend2much6 🤣

[Ispend2much6]

@eshoe  lol This experiment was more fun than the chemistry experiments I had in high school.
