The WBB's review of lisah's band rocks like a very cool rocking thing.

Wherefore can this be purchased? Because I have a band pin but I am lacking in cd.

Since we're talking hair, I have a hair question.

Ever since I've been old enough to care whether or not I looked dirty, I've taken a shower in the morning as a matter of necessity instead of preference because my hair looks so greasy when I get up and seems to need washing every day.

Morning showering didn't really bother me before, because I didn't have to get up at 5:30 in the morning and because my hair was short and easy to wash. But now that I've got a ton of hair (it's way past my shoulders and [though I don't really feel justified in complaining about this] super super thick), coupled with the fact that I'm forced to get to work at 7 a.m. with some frequency, I'm even more eager to be able to shower at night and spend that precious half-hour of the morning sleeping.

So is there anything I can do to make my hair look less greasy in the morning?

Jen, you're probably not going to like this answer, but if you can go several days without washing your hair, let it get all gross and then after you start shampooing again, go to an every other day schedule, it works great. I did that a couple of years ago and it's worked great. I used to wash my hair every morning, but now I need to wash it only every other day. Unless I've been really sweaty.

What ChiKat said. Every hairdresser person I've known (and what I learned long, long ago in cosmetology school) states that there is no need to wash your hair every day. Or every other day, really.

Of course, I'm one of those crazy people who only washes her hair once a week.

... waitaminute, isn't this Bitches Conversation #243? I know this topic has come up before ...

#243? OK!

I once didn't wash my hair with shampoo for several months, only warm water. It looked really nice, but it was a pain in the ass to do and I was eventually back on the 'poo pony.

Chi and Jilli, I have so tried this. What am I doing wrong?????

Hair people always tell me this and I can't make it work unless I just don't mind looking skanky and greasy on days I don't shampoo.

Over the last year when I was both funfunfun depressed and not working, I tried it a couple of times. Once without meaning to, but that isn't the point.

I never got to the mythical don't have to wash every day if seen by other humans place. I'd like to get to that place.

I have to wash my hair every day too. Mine is just too thin; it needs the body.

Also, timelies. And collapsies.

Hugsies!

Try wetting it without shampoo.

If I wet my hair without shampoo or conditioner, it turns into a thin, tangled nest.
