Made this last night.  It's now hanging in my car.  I'd like to get some different feathers for it eventually but the only thing the local walmart has is those kinds.  So that will have to wait 'til my trip in to the city.  I also want to get some elastic bands or thread of some kind so that I can actually take the thing on and off my car mirror.

I also have a question!  The long "grizzly feathers" you see people wear in their hair...can you find those in craft stores or would they just be available a specialty beauty shops?

Hi! Sorry I know it's been ages since I posted on here... I've been watching you all from afar ;) much more so recently as I've been having hair-related insecurities aplenty. But before we get onto all that mushy stuff, photos after the cut ( what's been going on on my head since I last postedCollapse )

I am getting brave! 2nd post! I created these two over the weekend as a little pick me up break between 'real life' work. Thinking about trying to complete a whole set of characters. Got my eye on Princess Bubblegum and Gunther next!

Tomorrow I will be no-pooing for 7 weeks. I like it so far for various reasons: great with my stingy budget, added some volume to my short/fine hair, and gives me loads of more time with not doing my hair. Unfortunately I seem to get so greasy so fast its discouraging.

My routine is: Sundays I travel to my moms house (she has a water softener) to wash my hair with a BS mixture (1 tbspn/cup water), ACV (same as BS), and finish off with a green tea rinse. I only do that once a week, and on Wednesdays I WO in my hard water apartment (but I have a filter that helps with chlorine and "other minerals") I have been doing this religiously for 7 weeks straight and by the Wednesday that I WO my hair is so crazy greasy that the WO barely helps hide it.

I HAVE TRIED:

Boiling the water I put in my mixtures (BS, ACV, Green Tea) . That got rid of my waxy feeling from my hard water instantly.

The boar bristle brush. It seems to not work as well as I thought it would, and I try to brush as much as a can with with it (cleaning it after each time I use it)

Using less Vinegar . Some people suggested in other posts that the ACV can add to greasiness and I've lessened it but I've seen no difference.

Various DIY Dry Shampoos. I've read a few blogs suggesting cocoa powder or cornstarch to help with some but it really doesn't help, it helps hide some grease but my hair still needed to be put in a pony tail/bun.

I've tried so many things and I guess by 7 weeks I was hoping that I could go maybe 4-5 days before I would have to resort to the pony tail/bun. Instead I'm going 2 days hair down and 5 days hair up. My transition period seems never ending...

I'm traveling to Europe soon and I was hoping to stick to my routine, but they only have hard water where I'm going. Does anybody have any suggestions? Help is much appreciated, thanks!

Lifta (Arabic: لفتا‎; Hebrew: מי נפתוח‎ Mei Niftoach, lit. spring of the corridor) was an Arab village on the outskirts of Jerusalem. The population fled during the Arab-Jewish hostilities of 1947/48. The village, which is mainly intact, is located on a hillside between the western entrance to Jerusalem and the Romema neighbourhood. In 2012, plans to rebuild the village as an upscale neighborhood were rejected by the Jerusalem District Court.

The site has been populated since ancient times; Nephtoah (Hebrew: נפתח) is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as a border between the Israelite tribes of Judah and Benjamin. It was the northernmost demarcation point of the territory of the Tribe of Judah.[4][5] The Romans and Byzantines called it Nephtho, and the Crusaders referred to it as Clepsta.
