This is day 5, counting the day I washed, and I need a scalpwash, definitely. But my hair is currently up in a crown braid! I have been e-mailing back and forth with Karen Ribble of
Braided Image, and she inspired me to try the crown braid again! I did it yesterday morning; it held all through the day, through an outing I had to make in the evening, and I slept with it in. It still looks as neat now as it did yesterday! Plus the weight is so evenly balanced around my head. I want to take it down so I can scalp wash, but it feels so great in my hair that I think I'll leave it in for a little while longer! It doesn't even look like I
need a scalp wash, because my scalp cannot be seen, apart from a little chunk in the back that doesn't look oily at all. I will probably do the scalpwash this evening.
I am doing a water fast today! So far I haven't even had any water. It is lunch time and I am hungry, but I am not going to the lunch table with the family in case I get tempted! I need to get my mind off food... the water fast is hard for a bit in the middle of the day, but by evening I am not hungry at all, and the next day I feel like I could go without eating all of that day, too! But it is not healthy for me, for many reasons, to fast for two days in a row. I have low blood pressure, I lose weight quickly (2 days of fasting = immediate weight loss, in places like my cheeks and wrists!) and my hair starts falling out much more immediately on the second day. So I am sticking to once a week water fasts, which I might be able to increase with time.
BusyHSmom received my herbs! I am so happy. We had a problem here when I tried to DHL it. My Dad came to me and asked me if I was sending someone "some unidentified powder." I told him yes, I was sending a poweder, but it was very clearly identified in fact! Each packet had a label on it! But they refused to DHL it (do they think I'm trying to send drugs... by DHL?) so I had to send it by post, and it took a bit longer to get there. Now, if only Carrawayseed gets my deep conditioner! I have given up all hope on the money I sent to Fox. I don't know where it went. My best guess is that I didn't hide it properly in the envelope and someone could have taken it. Maybe I'll put it in a card or something next time... hmm, something to think about! Anyway, I'll be sending it again from London for sure, where the post is more secure as well.
Well, since I'm not going down to lunch, I have a little extra time, so I may as well check LongLocks, LHC, and The Hair Care Family!
Love,
