FLAT HAIR DAY




YA YAY YAY I woke up this morning NOW picture this got out of bed went straight to mirror NOT A SINGLE HAIR out of place not ONE!!!!!! and I have not had to comb or brush it or touch (A: I aren't allowed to until Friday ) BUT I tell yall IT has not kinked moved or even ruffled I have no flyway no stray strands YAY not one hair out of place I CANT BELIEVE IT,



On another note I had a restless sleep every time I turned over I felt my hair and smoothed it out so it wasn't scrunched or bunched AND I normally sleep like an EPILIPTIC OCTOPUS!!!!!! so the vision of a super flat bed and sheets IS NOT NORMAL FOR ME!!!!


HOWEVER SUPER UBER FLAT HAIR is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I swear it is SHINIER this morning than yesterday it looks gorgeous. I will get someone to take a photo soon so you can see it later tonight maybe. I cant wet my hair or wash it until Friday afternoon so an UMBRELLA is a must today and I am having a FRENCH wash today instead of shower as the steam and mist from water is a no no!!!!!! Oh well bucket and flannel here I come!!!!!

OK HERE GOES NOTHING PHOTOS GALORE





Just a reminder OF WHAT I had to tame EVERYDAY for the most of my 41 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the age of 7 I had hair down to my bottom and all one length, my mother would wash my hair and 7 in the morning and put it up before school when it was let down after school it would still be wet!!!! where scrunhie and ribbons had been, it would take an hour to rag roll at night and then an hour to comb and section before wash for school!!!!!!!

Ok first photo is of the 6 inches cut off my hair YES 6 inches and it looked like a dead possum!!!!





Then this product goes on takes about 20 mins to apply is thicker than porridge and really stinky, (nah it didnt smell too bad) that was left in for 40 mins (can be up to an hour)....





They glad wrap your head of course and that is the bees knees (NOT) ............






Then your hair is washed, blow dried straight then straightened with straighteners and glossed THEN neutralized and THEN yip you guessed it they leave that for 10 mins then wash and repeat!!!!!!!!!again wash blow dry straightened neutralise!





NEARLY DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







FINISHED PRODUCT and boy IT IS WAY GLOSSIER and SUPER UBER SHINY now you cant get this done if your hair has colour in it ANY REMNANTS of colour has to be cut away aside from the fact I had 10 month old colour in there I opted to have 6 inches cut anyhoo.




















Below was my hair at 9.30am Tuesday 9th June 2009 I even liked it this morning but didnt think twice about the opportunity of having nice straight hair I am wrapt with the result yes I have had straight hair before (GHD straight) BUT nothing prepares you for the SUPER FLAT straightness of professionally PERMANENT straightening TOTAL cost $650. Cost to ME $40 for the product, I bought the apprentice hairdresser (I was her model) a bunch of flowers some choccies and a bottle of wine for her efforts IT TOOK 4 hours from start to finish and I counted 15 treatment steps from wash to cut, product to wash blowdry to straightened gloss to neutraliser then wash to blowdry and straighten to more neutraliser too final wash and blow dry and straighten then super high gloss !!!!! They are going to lift it at the back by 1 - 2 inches and then I am done


































and you will all get the gist of the story NEEDLESS TO SAY my hair is SUPERB!!!!!!! Janene I realize I have gorgeous curly hair I always have BUT this is a BUG BEAR, on the first day I wash it and style it , IT LOOKS stunning by day 2 and 3 it is FRIZZY BOOFY FLYWAY and sticks out like an overgrown hedgerow!!!! lol I have had my hair straightened before just for a day or 2 BUT when this opportunity came I jumped at it!!!!! I am soooooo lucky I cant stop pinching myself. I have had thick curly hair all my life even down to my bottom when I was 7 and I had it drastically chopped then it grew again too below my bra strap all one length, I then had a major car accident and 15 years ago lost all my beautiful curls, since the accident I have had 2 major surgeries a baby and my hair WAS NEVER the same I grew it out for 15 years to hopefully regain my beautiful locks sadly they aren't coming back and WELL I hope to have straight hair for at least 6 months and up to 10 months!!! Maori and Pacific Island hair is the best hair for straightening it is genetically strong and wiry and able to withstand the chemical process!!!! In my opinion WELL WORTH it......... (oh and I only had my hair coloured twice in the last 10 years although I have a handful of grey hairs it doesnt bother me the grey hair I like to think it adds character.) And that was my day basically teacher Aide for an hour hairdressers 4 hours worked 3 hours then home!!!!!

Chilli mince now famous on BREAKFAST YAY......

Hi everyone HAD an amazing morning with TAMATI COFFEY weather reporter from Breakfast, we started our journey from last night OUR famous chilli mince in the slow cooker from 7pm until 6.30am (ingredients to follow)

1 onion brown in pan
add mince 500gms to one kilo
lightly brown
add garlic 1 teaspoon
add mushrooms 250 gms
add 1 tin tomatoes
add 1 tin chilli beans mild or hot
add 1 tablespoon tomatoe paste
grate large carrot
grate large zucchinni
FOR todays recipe I tjhrew in a tin of spaghetti to bulk it out a bit too!!!!!
put into slow cooker ideally 10 - 12 hours
serve with grated chees and sour cream (veges optional and if any left over roast veges CHUCK that in too.)

TAMATI loved it we arrived about 6.40am and stayed until 8.40am Samuel and I were on TV about 7.40am with our crockpot of chilli mince and he got to read out the ingredients (he actually cooked this batch), TAMATI crew even had some. THE FLASH restaurant that came and made the yummy breakfast potato rosti with chorizo sausage poached egg and basil pesto looked divine, TAMATI didnt have any of that though.

I didnt get photo shots (however i did take camera THE switch on button sticks and is faulty we have discovered even though it had fresh batteries) ( I knew dam well it would play up the blardy cantankerous thing) but did get phone camera shots so when I figure that out I WILL load the photo of Samuel Tamati and I.HE is soooooooo dam lovely I got a kiss and cuddle and we talked about Dancing with the Stars and GOK!!!! He is so approachable and a real coo for Breakfast it was sooooooooo much fun ALTHOUGH freezing it was not 0 degrees it was -2 and EVERYONE had some of my chilli mince and loved it!!!!!

It is easy to see how the public are drawn to Tamati and his crew they are great!

Have an awesome day everyone!!!
Ciao
