Some have said it's like a troglodyte...

[darcydodo]

People are always asking me why I can't wear my hair down after I wash it. Here is photographic evidence that I think will speak far louder than words (except also, remember that this is a full day after the washing, and subsequent to a day confined in a braid — add about another third onto the volume for the true image):





ETA: Oh, and you can see the cute rubber ducky shower curtain in the background, and part of our lovely living room in the foreground.

Wow ... I'm impressed.

Pretty apartment btw ;)

[darcydodo]

:)

It's a lovely house, and I'm exceedingly happy here. It's also currently relatively clean, 'cause my parents were up, so this is another advantage! *grin*

darcy = luthien.

what brand of hair products do you use? before I lost my hair (it used to be thicker than a full hafflinger pony's tail), I used to have problems finding conditioner that would "bite". sometimes I miss my golden mantle, but damn! I don't miss rushing around the kingdom looking for good conditioners! :)

[darcydodo]

My shampoo is good ol' clear green Prell, and I also then use T/Gel shampoo, which is a tar-based dandruff shampoo. My conditioner is Pantene "Hydrating Curls" (which has a different moniker in England) — the label color is a sort of brownish purple (or maybe purplish brown). It works very well, especially for the days that I don't wash my hair and therefore leave the conditioner in (despite it being a rinse-out conditioner); it lets my hair make curls, at least if it dries in the sun and whatnot.

You should gel it and have it radiating out in a sphere centered on your head. That'd be coooool.

[darcydodo]

OK, despite the inconceivable idea that actually, it wouldn't, there's also the slight problem of gravity. Gel isn't that strong!

[pseudomonas.livejournal.com]

Gel isn't that strong!

Some brands are - Araldite comes to mind.

[darcydodo]

WTF is Araldite?

And don't say "a very strong gel," or I'll make a mental note to hit you the next time I see you.

[jhwaller.livejournal.com]

Araldite is an epoxy resin glue like 5 minute epoxy - which would definitely have your hair sticking out at all angles - it would just never come out :) Although I'm sure the results would be awesome

[darcydodo]

Ah. I see. ;)

[dizzyditz.livejournal.com]

Oooh I love your icon.

[darcydodo]

Yeah, it's brilliant. Amélie's such a good film.

[pseudomonas.livejournal.com]

This.

[darcydodo]

Thanks!

Umm, out of curiosity, who are you? ;)

[darcydodo]

Unlike yourself, I'm not a random encounter. I'm just random.

[darcydodo]

Nice to meet you too. Albeit randomly.

[darcydodo]

Very pretty.

[sampiano.livejournal.com]

Hair.......

I like your hair.

I wish I still had mine (attached to me I mean, I still have it, just it is in a bag in the cupboard)

[darcydodo]

Waahhh! I want your hair back on your head! :(

Are you going to grow it out again?

[sampiano.livejournal.com]

Well, it kind of grows of it's own accord without me having to do much except water it occasionally.

Hey, cool!

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Check out the hair! For a moment, I thought my dear deepad had you beat, but with curls...even my hair is much longer than people think.

Lovely place, indeed, btw. ::covets wooden floor::

Re: Hey, cool!

[darcydodo]

*beams* Curls! Wooden floor! ;)

Err, yeah. I'll calm down and go away now. Or at least go away, as I have to!

[linley.livejournal.com]

You have beautiful hair, and while I understand that there's a ton of it and it is insane at times, I think you should wear it down more often. A couple weeks ago you were wearing it in a ponytail with the elastic or scrunchie or whatever it was about halfway down, and I thought it looked lovely.

[darcydodo]

Ah, well, that's how I'm wearing it today, so all's well. ;) And thanks.

You see, this is why you are far, far, far cuter than Willow. Plenty of people have red hair, but hair like yours is seriously amazing. And the feet, though admittedly I don't actually know whether Willow has cute feet.

As an aside, I seem to keep muddling the names 'Will' and 'Willow' when I type. Which could lead to some confusion.

[darcydodo]

It could indeed lead to confusion. And you're just a cheir- (and pod-) ophile. :P

[hatam-soferet.livejournal.com]

Willow presumably doesn't have stubble :)

Willow confusion

[jetspeaks.livejournal.com]

Although I know you all mean willow of Buffydom, when you start talking about cute feet, I start thinking about "my" Willow - my friend Garth's baby daughter, who has beautiful feet:

And is generally beautiful:

And is the Willow I started to tell you about at Steph's birthday, Darcy. :)

Re: Willow confusion

[darcydodo]

Awww!

[fengshui.livejournal.com]

Mmmmmm, long Darcy hair. Much fun to play with, yes.

[darcydodo]

Play with, or smell? ;)

[greenelephant.livejournal.com]

wow - it's even longer than I remember. Then again, I only met you for a short period of time and I was rather unfortunately preoccupied. In other news, what a lovely living room! I love the hardwood and the wall colour. Now I'm thinking I should have gone for yellow-ish on my office walls, instead of "Moroccan Desert".

[darcydodo]

Surely "Moroccan Desert" is rather yellowish, too? ;) You'll have to come visit me in Berkeley some time.

I was probably wearing my hair in a braid at the APA. Or, if not, it was probably up somehow-ish, and besides which, it's grown since then. I know this not because it necessarily looks much longer, but because the tips of my hair keep trying to tuck themselves down the back of my trousers whenever I'm getting dressed, and they've never done that before.

[kathrid.livejournal.com]

I want my hair to be that long some day. Lovely long hair all the way down to my waist. Yes. Definitely.

[darcydodo]

But will it have black tips? It ought to have black tips.
