I’m tired. Waking up at 4 AM is a . I have to stay up probably until one though. I already missed the last 2 raids on WOW.. I hate to leave them short on heals.

My aunt did my hair today at her work, thank god. My roots were long as hell. I need to stop waiting so long in between. She put a toner on too to darken my hair some. I’m happy it isn’t highlighter yellow anymore.

I’ll probably go even darker next time. Darker colors are just way easier to keep up with. Who has the time for a color every 2-3 weeks? Definitely not me. I’m lucky to go every two MONTHS. Next time I might get some brown lowlights too.

My new phone was here when I got home. I got the Sanyo Pro-700 hybrid Sprint/Nextel phone. Since I’m stuck with Nextel it was my only choice. ALL Nextel compatible phones have horrible user ratings. This phone had the best but they still weren’t great. So far I’m much happier with it than the LG LX400 Spring/Nextel hybrid though. It’s faster, it isn’t slippery, and the Nextel radio button isn’t up top and sticking out ready to be hit to accidently call people all day long.

I made these videos before I bleached my hair.

Flat Ironing Straight.

This is my first tutorial, I promise they’ll get better as we go along. Also my hair is a mess atm. I’m growing it out and letting the black dye fade out so I can bleach it.

Why should You flat iron?

1. it makes even dead hair look healthy

2. it holds in color

The past few years flat ironing has been a huge craze. Yet a ton of people still don’t know a thing about flat irons. First off when buying a flat iron you want to make sure it’s ceramic. Metal flat irons will fry and destroy your hair. They also come with heat settings now to give you more options.

This is my ceramic flat iron. It’s old– about 4 years old. It doesn’t even have heat settings, but it works fine and doesn’t damage my hair.

Okay first make sure your hair is completely dry. If your hair is thin and straight you will want to blow-dry your hair with your head upside down to try and keep some body. If it’s thick and curly rightside up so it wont turn into a huge puffball. Some flat irons say they can be used on wet hair, but in my opinion it doesn’t come out as good. Also brush it first.

This is how my hair looks before being flat ironed or brushed. Eww!

Plug it in, let it heat up. They don’t take more than a minute. Some even less.

Now you have to remember to start at the root of your hair. If you start in the middle you’ll get some weird lines. Here is the basics of what you do.

It’s as simple as that. If your hair is thick course or curly you will need to go over it many times to become completely straight. My cousins hair takes over an hour. If your hair is thin and straight like mine it can be done in less than a minute!
