Ugh, mornings....

yet another reason I'm natural - I don't think I would have hair if I HAD to do it every morning beyond a rinse and/or spritz and/or scarf. Even the work required for a wash & go makes me giggle - it's just not getting done in the morning.

Now, if I had a sensible job that didn't mind if I showed up at 11ish, or so, then we could talk about a 'style' session in the morning.

I saw a coworker today as I was making my tea, and the back of her head was COVERED in these little 'flipped up' curls - it was really cute, and looked REALLY freshly done, and the thought that crossed my mind first was "My GODS! What time did she get UP this morning - or does she sleep on her face???"

I realized, writing that, that I think I'm the ONLY kinky natural that works in this building. There is one lady who has the most GORGEOUS gray hair who is thinking about transitioning (she cornered me in the bathroom a few days ago - I feel bad, because I didn't serve her well - it's the first time someones asked me in PERSON about transitioning, and I stuttered and stammered and I'm almost certain I either scared her away, or she thought I was bullshitting her and didn't want to help. *sigh*), and I've seen another lady with a auburn fro getting out of her car in the morning - but that's about it. Of course, I've no clue how many of the straight heads are pressing rather than perming.....

Anyhow. Totally did NOT make a new spritizer this morning - I was grumpy, and tired, and realized that I realllly didn't want to bring my butt to work anyhow, so I just sprizted with what's leftover (mostly tto and water, from the smell of it) and rolled on. I've also misplaced my do-rag *faint* which is a MAJOR issue (I'm seriously considering stopping by the BSS on my way home - yeah, it's that serious), and so I was suffering with my funky green scarf, instead. *sigh*
I'll clean out my spritzer bottle and make it tonight...

Oh! Quick recipe note, while I'm thinking of it - talking about the protien treatment, and there was mention of using cornstarch to thicken it up - which, hello, brilliant! I've got a HUGE bag that I won't be eating (grain), and if it works well - I'll SO be adding this to both the Caramel treatment (even though it wasn't THAT drippy), and my protien treatment - which was, as is anything I make with coconut milk, drippier than all get out. *happywiggle*

I twisted my hair differently - because of how I parted it (which I didn't notice til I got up to flat twist it) the widest part of my head would have been the start of the back flat twist, and duurrrr, that's jsut not gonna work. Lucky for me, I had 'put' a part straight down the back (totalllllly accidental), so I've got two half flattwists down the back of my head. The front, I did in a single flat twist across the front - and it was suprisingly hard to do - my fingers lost the memory. I have a 'lump' on one side from the 'tail' being tucked under - I really have to figure out how to better 'finish' the end. Usually, I can swish it down flat enough with my do-rag, but *tear* I dinna where it is, so yeah. I'm a lumphead today.

And yes, I planned on taking pictures, couldn't find the camera, woke up this morning, saw the camera almost as soon as I went downstairs, but ya know, above mentioned morning issues, so no. I'll do it tonight, if I remember.
