Goofing off

gracedpalmerI could have been doing something useful last night and this morning. I could have been writing, fixing my pavilion, or sewing. Instead, I messed with my hair. I put it up in rag curls last night with flaxseed setting lotion (1 cup water, 1 heaping tablespoon flax, boil until gooey). 7 rag curls, and the one in the back didn't quite dry, so it fell out pretty quickly. However, here's the evidence.
One problem with rag curls is that the ends get rolled tighter than the tops, because the curl gets bigger and bigger, so there's almost nothing by the time you get to the top of my head. That's still more fluff than I usually get, however. Then, I decided to play with it. Of course, I haven't had real curls since the early 90s and the death of my spiral perm, and the waves have even mostly fallen out as my hair has gotten longer. So I had no real idea what to do with it. In the end, I just yanked it up in a bun - a bun the size of Nebraska. A vain attempt to fix some of the curls has been made with vinegar sugar water.
Conclusion: I need to be more productive, I should figure out how to curl more evenly, and this is what I need to do if I ever want mad scientist hair.
