A New Home

Say goodbye to hair-related posts at this joint. Hair Thursday has relocated to much cushier digs over here. Trust me, your hair told me to tell you to go check it out.

You know what this means, don’t you? Whoorl.com can once again become a truly inspirational and creative outlet about things that are important.

Issues that matter.

Like these, for instance.

1. So You Think You Can Dance starts TONIGHT. The electricity that’s buzzing through every pore of my incredibly pale body is incomprehensible. (Although, Palm Springs, here I come! Swimming pools! Coppertone tans! HELL YES.) I never thought my adoration for Travis could be beat, but Danny? DANNY, I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY JADED SOUL.

In other SYTYCD news, I saw Lacey out shopping last week and I had to restrain myself from having a quick “chat” about her hair extensions on the show. (Hair. All day, every day. It’s a disease, people.)

2. I stubbed my toe this morning, let out a little yelp, and Wito looked me directly in the eye and said, “No whining”.

3. There is a very slim chance that my Nightline segment will run tonight.

Well, munch on THOSE inspirational morsels for now. Peace be with you.

Erica’s hair:

Self-described “beastly hair”
Light-to-medium brown
Lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (which apparently has some hella extreme weather)
Combination curly/wavy

From Erica’s email, I do believe she is the owner of bipolar hair. Depending on the weather, her curls act completely differently, sometimes shiny and bouncy and other times, well, BLAH.

I think all of the wavy/curly gals out there will agree – at least, I know I do. What to do, what to do…

I really like Erica’s curls and her layering technique. Notice how her cheekbone-length layers keep the overall shape from looking like the dreaded triangle. I do think she could take about an inch or two off and have a darling wavy bob.

What about these options?

Option #1 would take a little of the length off and shorten her layers accordingly. It would be a fresh look for the summer season, which she could let air dry or use a curling iron (like the photo) to add defined curls here and there. Option #2 follows the same idea, but with the addition of bangs. (My only concern would be the humid Winnipeg summers. Serious Humidity + Bangs = Interesting.)

Also, Erica should read this post (remember my fabulous Curl Expert, Jamie?) which covers all of the curl bases to help tame the “beastly” hair.

What do you all think?
