French Twist (the hair style)

Humidity was over 90% today.

Could someone at work have told me how crazed my hair was when I got there?

you all are so funny, 'complaining' about nothing being able to hold your thick, lush locks.

eoe--

I beg your pardon!

I have baby fine hair which won't even hold a carelessly placed bobby pin. Hair spray is a wonderful invention!

Remember, in pre-hair spray days a Ladies' Room was necessary for coif repair between dances. Sugar water could be used during the winter, but during the summer sugar water could attract the wrong sort of attention.

someday, when no one else is here, i'm going to take a pic of my hair in full poofity mode and post it for you, eoe.



when you recover, if you recover, you'll buy me an adult beverage

I have very fine hair and I cannot master the French Twist. I would LOVE to be able to do it but I have spent hours at a time trying and still cannot manage it. I have purchased every comb, pin, contraption under the sun and nothing will hold my hair.

Actually - it's easier to do when your hair is a little dirty.

Do you spray after you put up?

Maybe spray your hair first and lightly brush through - It might give your hair some texture to hold on to.

I hate to suggest teasing, that'll wreck your hair.

Yep, I spray it before I start so I have some grip. I can roll and twist but when it comes to using pins and the like I just can't seem to put them in the right place or get them to hold. I know it's a simple matter. I watched the video on Madeleines site and I can see how easy it is, but it just won't stay for me. My hair is as fine but not as long as Madeleines so I should be able to do it easily but it's at the pinning that I fail.
