Waves!

No one asked, but I thought I'd write a tutorial on how I got my wavy hair. I did this yesterday and it turned out really really really well. This has been done plenty of times already and it's a pretty basic procedure that everyone knows about; but because it takes extra special methods and products and voodoo for my hair to be anything but mostly straight, this is mostly for me, so that next time I remember what I did.

"Remember when you were 12 and you used to think those Mac filters for your pictures were cool haha!" Jks I dont hv a mac

So I started with my hair not completely blown dry (i.e. damp hair) because when hair is damp and put up in some way, it'll usually stay that way better (at least in my case). I split my hair into two sections - not exactly down the middle, because I had a pretty good side part so I left it like that - and French-braided each section semi-tight. And then I went to sleep.

When I woke up, I took the braids out, and gently separated the strands without tugging on them in hopes that that'd help keep the waviness in there longer; and sprayed my hair with a sea salt spray while scrunching up random bunches of hair. And finally, I prayed to the hair gods that the humidity wasn't too high and my hair wasn't too rebellious so the waves would stay in all day, because I always find it embarrassing when my waves go kind of limp and my hair looks like it doesn't know what it's doing.

Et voilà! Almost-mermaid hair! The above picture was taken this morning (so, the day after), and the waves were still there. They've kinda given out at the moment, but overall, I'm happy with how it turned out for yesterday and got lots of compliments from my coworkers (and even a patient! He was a 60 year old man but we'll ignore that part).

Keep it mellow, fellows.
