no straight hair after creatine straightening of hair

 I was born with straight dark blond or light brown hair and I had no reason to think I die any other way... right? Wrong obviously I was hoping I live long enough to be gray hair and then I color them wild pink. BUT I have not imagined structure of my hair change from straight to wavy after birthing two kids? Wasn't structure of hair depended on the shape of the hole through which hair grows through?! Why would it change shape? I should one day dig into it... but at the moment I can handle a bliss of being baffled by how our body works...

Anyway, ...

As I was a straight hair girl and waves would never really stick for longer than an hour then my experience with taking care of waves is zero... absolute non. There is psychological aspect that I somehow still deny that it really happened although it is now few good years! I was pushed to accept new problems this winter when my hair became unbearably puffy. On a scale of puffiness their were surely nothing extreme but for me it was a blowing mind irritation. Because what I am supposed to do?! I have no resilience to issues like that. So...

Here I am annihilating the issue. My first thought was to do hair-Botox but once I got to hair-saloon I hinted that in principle I am simply dreaming about getting my hair back! And that is how creatine treatment became a reality. Now, I do have to say I made a decision in a heat of the moment when I was at the right place at the right time. I lie to believe that if they said that the best solution is to take crack-cocaine-mixed-with-heroine-topped-with_pigs_urine to get my hair straight I would be the true responsible me and proudly say: "no thank you, as tempting as it is I do not do drugs. And if it has to came to that then you know I can embrace my waves as they naturally came to me...". But, I am not sure... I did say yes to creatine treatment and left the sneaky hairdresser 300 EUR?! 150 for the treatment and 150 for shampoo, conditioner and mask and some other shampoo. And I did not plan for a splurge like that... Those are also most expensive hair products I have ever bought. The question is was it worth it??

My hairdresser said that I can wash it off after 24h but better closer to 48h... on internet, however, they recommend minimum 72h? I took no risk... but waited no minute longer...

... now, after 72h of walking around with smelly, sickish hair that was absolutely smooth and straight .I washed them with conditioner (big amounts... because it was not foaming go figure) then shampoo (once I wanted to wash again and I realized it was conditioner all along... you wonder how come I have not reacted immediately, well it was because I read on some blog post that shampoo for after creatine treatment do not foam!! well it is not true , my foams all right) and then again conditioner. I have dried my hair as recommended immediately after washing as it was supposed to preserve the straightening. What are my thoughts so far?

Well, my hair feel silky, no doubt about that. They lovely, thank you very much. My hair is also not puffy.

BUT less wavy is not the same as not wavy... They are still wavy in the back, which I naively thought will be taken care of by the straightening treatment (was it that wrong of me to think so?). So I would say the straightening part of the purpose of this treatment has not worked for me! Another, not that satisfying aspect of the whole thing is that in principle my hair simply looks normal to me. They not better than what I expect from my hair.

not that straight... just saying

However, I am able to remember that the main reason I was not happy about my hair was that they were way more problematic than I was used to. Lets say like that. If how they look and behave now will actually last. I can convince myself it was worth it. They look healthier and so I look younger. Any body after 30 would appreciate it. Oh vanity... 

I am poorer by 300 EUR, I still have waves that I have hard time appreciating...

... but for my sanity reasons I will do what any psychological healthy person should do...

I will claim it was worth it... because of well known "cashmere socks effect". It is the way to be happy, or so I have read.

UPDATE after second wash: hair is still less puffy and more silky

getting ready for Valentine's date - part 2

All right...

I went for a quest of finding curlers and believe me or not it was super hard and time consuming adventure.

I have been everywhere supermarkets, drug stores, shops that sell everything...

I started to suspect that it is hairdresser conspiracy and on my way back with a guilt of waisting a lot of time for nothing...

... I've dropped by Body Shop...

They didn't have curlers but one of the ladies was from profession a hairdresser and she said she knows a place...

She has send me to www.beautycos.dk that actually have a boutique in Odense.

(if you need anything for hair and you live in Odense then Beautycos is on Klaregade they have a huge choice)

Now it is almost 3pm!!

I better get started because not only I haven't worked on my thesis, I haven't prepared any food, but I am also still in my sweatpants...

Here is my princess hair tool-kit...

...lets try to curl my straight busters!

getting ready for Valentine's date - part 1

To not waist time for biking (1 h in my case) I have decided to stay home. I am writing my thesis so at least in theory it should be possible to do some work from home.

I woke up half past 6 am.

Drunk tea with honey to please my aching throat.

Cleaned a bit my apartment (I mean my one room thing with a kitchen that is super cheap and that is great because saving money is the priority) and gave a second to plan my evening look...

My hair is super-straight and long, and I wanted to do something cute-girly with them for today.

I of course opened youtube and watched some videos how to braid hair.

I am not sure how those ultimate girly-girls do it, but it is not as easy to braid hair around your head as it might seem...

Anyway, I have tried twice (that is how patient and dedicated I am...) and I think that braiding should be recommended as a type of arm workout, my muscles were in pain... 

I've actually managed to made a braid... 

...but...

first of all it seems like my hair are not cut well enough to sweetly fade into cute thin braid and I of course haven't succeed completely 

and what most important I do not have any enthusiasm left for this hairstyle as for today so I need new not-braid like idea. 

(Of course some competitive part of me thinks that I will be back to try again this braid-challenge... I know myself long enough to know that it is true but it won't be anytime soon...)

It is 10:30 am I have an idea for my hair but it demands small shopping...
