Well, hello there. Wito and I would like to make it known that we miss Lini and Bishop Stu Tu.
Please come back! I have Coca Cola and Fritos! And Rotel dip!
To keep my mind off the fact that my family is 2 million miles away, I’ve made a new hair tutorial that I will be debuting on Thursday. The Whoorl Blowdrying Tutorial, and good Lord, it is awful. So incredibly awful and lame.
It involves stupid photos and a horrific video because you can’t really show the blowdrying motion with a photograph. Yeah, you heard me, a snippet of a video of me blowdrying my hair. SERIOUSLY DUDE, WHO GIVES A SHIT.
(Hey! To the 5 people who requested a blowdrying tutorial! I’m here for you, man.)

October 9, 2007 at 5:28 pmThank goodness! A tutorial! I am long-haired challenged. I finally grew my hair out from the short pixie cut my mother always forced on me (she used to also force a perm, but that’s a story for another time – maybe Halloween *shudder*) and I have never ever learned how to really blow dry my hair properly. In fact, I don’t even own a blow-dryer…yet! I’m counting the days.

October 9, 2007 at 6:00 pmI know I didn’t delurk on the 3rd, but I am now in order to tell you that thanks partially to your advice, I just received my Mason Pearson hairbrush in the mail, and I LOVE IT! Love your blog too.

October 9, 2007 at 6:03 pmAlso, please, now that we’re on the subject of blow-dryers… what kind of blow-dryer does everyone use? I have an Elchim that is 2 years out of warranty and has already been sent to the manufacturer to have a lethargic motor fixed 3 times – at $15 a pop!
(It works fine for months, then it just slowly looses oomph until one day it smells like burning.)
The company tells me it’s because the dryer, which blows air *out* is actually at the same time sucking excess product *in*, which gums up the works. Riiiight.

October 10, 2007 at 6:38 ami was just going to send a request for a blow-drying tutorial – you read my mind! we’ve all seen pictures of the impossible shininess of your hair, so i don’t think anyone will be bored by a tutorial. thank you, thank you, thank you!

October 10, 2007 at 8:19 amWell! I, for one, am psyched.

October 10, 2007 at 9:06 amI read your post about your parents the other day and meant to comment over there. I feel your pain. My fam is way up north in MI while I’m down in the dirty south (NC). And I actually like them. And miss them all of the time. Everytime I leave them or they leave me, I hold it together until they’re out of sight then cry my eyes out and go into a deep depression for about a week. Ok, TMI. But seriously, I feel your pain.
ps. I’m psyched for HAIR THURSDAY! Woo Hoo!

October 10, 2007 at 9:12 amI wasn’t one of the 5 who requested it but HELL TO THE YES I could use a blowdrying tutorial. Like Teej above I could not get rid of the curl….finally found some styling products and a good brush that have improved the situation, but would very much like my hair to appear more Whoorl-like.

October 10, 2007 at 4:00 pmOoh, I feel your pain! We have lived a lot of places due to the military, and when my husband retires in two years we’re moving back to his home town and NOT MOVING AGAIN FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
I’m also very excited about the tutorial tomorrow…you’re saving the woorld one head at a time, girl!

October 10, 2007 at 4:59 pmI’ve never known how to blow dry my hair properly. I also could use some advice on how much gel to put in my hair, or even to use it at all. You are truly a fountain of hair-iffic knowledge.

October 11, 2007 at 1:48 amI’ve been growing my hair out and keep on cutting the back in an attempt to catch the sides up. I was going to ask you for advise but you answered my question. No mulletts. Thanks Whoorl. I think about my hair way too much and your hair posts help me feel like I’m not alone. I’ve got a terrible case of pony tail envy.
