Going "Natural"

A very late update

So I said I would post an update about how my hair fared on that very rainy Friday.  Well, here it is (only a few days late…sorry!)

Ok, rewind back to Friday… Despite my sour mood due to the rain, I did end up hanging out with Alexis.  She came to my place for coffee, then we headed to Walnut Creek for lunch, manicures, and shopping.  Lunch was at Tomatina (delicious, of course), then post-bar celebration mani’s at The Nail Shop (my gift to Alexis for running the mental marathon), then we walked all over Walnut Creek shopping (no purchases, but lots of good leg work).  So yes, despite the rain, we managed.  My hair got lots of rain exposure so I was very curious to see how it handled the whole day.  Normally, on a day like Friday, my hair would be all kinds of wavy/huge and I would end up tying it back out of sheer mane embarrassment.  However, while my hair wasn’t perfect, it performed much better than the usual frizzy blowout.  Here are the pics (post-rainy shopping):

Sorry for the serious face, I was probably sulking over the fact that I’m unemployed and will soon have to panhandle with the crazies in SF in order to make rent.  Ok, just kidding, let’s not be dramatic.

Anyway, as you can sort of see (again, sorry for the crappy light, it was night time), my hair isn’t super straight (as I usually aim for), but it’s not a large frizzy mess of random waves (victory!).

Alrighty, off to wash the hair!  Post later 🙂
