The hair, she is NOT behaving.

My back flattwist has officially given up the ghost. Shrinkage has won, and there is no way, no how, I'm going to be able to get it into a flattwist for tomorrow. So.... what to do?

It's not bun worthy either - but, hey, at least I'm back to making a bu, again. I was kinda kicking around the thought of wearing a twist-out, but I'm in two challenges that would prohibit that - BootCamp (definitively NOT a protective style) and the Hair UP for a year one. Though, technically, the hair up one is 95% of the year - I think that's 11 days worth of passes, and a twistout IS considered to be a protective style according to Bootcamp......so REALLY, if I obeyed the letter of the 'law' I could totally do a twistout tomorrow.

My concern is that I would take all my hair down, look in the mirror, and look like Krusty Da Clown. It's been a WHILE since I've done a twistout (I usually only rock them at festivals), and my hair has gotten longer and straighter since then - a twist, okay, a couple came out on my back hairline (when the difficult flat twist came down) that were actually almost straight. Okay, wavy. VERY wavy. No curl. And if all of my hair looked like that *shudder* but then, if I took the twists down, and then got them wet - or got them wet first, then took them down - it might 'wave & curl' a little more.

Murph. I'm still a scaredy cat. It's not that I don't think my hair is appropiate, I just think it's too SHORT to pull off the style I have a mental image of. *sigh*

I might just let the back hang free, and leave the top in. That would be the easiest solution. It would be CUTER to figure out a way to keep the back up and leave the front out, like bangs, AND it would keep my hair off of my neck/shoulders - I'm full and well aware that I'm entering the danger zone vis a vis hair length, and I wan to minimize brushing my shoulder off. Murph.

This has taught me to always do a middle part down the back section, so that I could split it half and half on either side.

Hrrm. Maybe if I flattwist UP, instead of down? I might have to experiment.

Dear gods, it's late. I'm off to bed, now.

After a bit of experiementing. Of course.
