Playing with hair chopsticks

Today at work my co-worker Jean showed me how to properly use my hair chopsticks.

The first time
hair up pretty


Then we took it down so she could show someone else how to do it. So, this is how it looked for most of the day

I think I even got the hang of the motion, but I'm going to have to practice more.

Well, after watching [livejournal.com profile] apryl_knight do it a few thousand times, it looks like you did pretty good! A bit more practice and you should be able to catch those stragglers. Of course, if you have vampires in your office, you might want to leave the stragglers down, be cause that first shot has some tasty-looking neck... *chomp* :E

Cool! Now I just need to figure out how to wear hair sticks with short hair.

I think I overheard this... and you talking about having a short course for Chinese hair sticks? I'd go to that; my fine hair doesn't like to behave in those.

And your hair looks fab.

Can you tell I got up at 4:45 this morning?

"and you talking about..."

Ahem, that is, "and you *were* talking about..."

I think we decided on an online tutorial ;)

I have fine hair (barrettes have been known to slip out), and I've found the ones that http://craftycelts.com/hair/lightpins.html

sell work, because they're not smooth. The ridges help catch the hair.

Actually as long as the stick is somewhat rougher, it works alright. It also works better when you're hair is dirtier...which is when I'm more likely to put mine up out of the way anyhow.

having curley hair also helps.

Trying to practice on Jean was really tricky because she's from China and has very fine straight hair.

The hair stays up longer when it's wet :)

I meant to tell you earlier today at the HRC that your hair looked great, but I felt like I was going over my girlie quota for the day.

there's a girlie quota? Does that mean i can't have a mani/pedi and see a chick flick in the same day?

It's more self-imposed. I swear sometimes I feel like a guy but with better body parts.
