Lazy Hair
Dear Inventor of the Hairclip,
    Thank you for giving me what I have dubbed “Lazy Hair.” Say I don’t want to go to the trouble of curling my hair. What do I do?
    I put it in a hair clip.
    No time to wash my hair? No worries.
    I put it in a hair clip.
    Sick to death of being hot and want my hair up off my neck.
    I put it in a hair clip.
    Too friggin’ lazy to actually style my hair, when I used to be a Hot-Roller-Aqua-Net Queen?
   You guessed it. I put it in a hair clip.
    I don’t know whether to thank you or hunt you down and throttle you for making me such a clip-reliant junkie.
    Confused in Alabama,
    Rhonda (whose hair is in a clip now)

Oh Rhonda I can relate! With this heat and humidity what is the point of styling all mornin to walk outside and just like that, it goes to hell! I have very long hair and these past few weeks it’s been up in a clip and off my back and neck so I can try to keep cool..I praise the clip!
Have a good day!

Around here, we have “hair spiders.” Those are the clips with the teeth that overlap (not barrettes or clips like the you use on rollers). They are so dubbed because I had a lot of smallish ones I’d use just to pull the front and sides of my hair back. They’d inevitably end up on the floor, where DG would mistake them for huge spiders.
I lost a lot of them from stomping.
So now I try to keep all the hair spiders in one place…especially once I brought home the big hair spiders that can hold all my hair up…

My lazy self has my hair in a clip as we speak! I love those things. I wish they didn’t break so easily.

Yep, I’m with you ladies. I’m hot natured (thanks to having my plumbing removed and the hormones going nuts) and with the humidity and heat we have had lately (here is AL with Rhonda), enougn said. But the weatherman said we are in for a cool spell next week…..
, bring it on, pleaseeee. Have a wonderful weekend.

Even with my short hair — when I’m overdue a cut and it’s getting on my nerves — usually in the midst of deadline hell — I use the mini clips to get it out of my eyes and off my neck. Now that’s pretty, I’m tellin’ ya.

My hair is up in a clip right now. I alternate between clips and scrunchies. I love those things.

I have a lot of hair and with it this hot, I really just can’t stand for it to touch me. If its not in a clip, its in a scrunchy or a bun. I’m almost inclined to chop it all off, but then it will get cooler and I’ll regret it.

I pray to the hairclip gods every night. ps your hair always looks great whenever i see you!

Clips are AWESOME. And yes, even with short hair, they keep stuff out of your eyes, and maybe, just maybe add a teensy bit of color (I won’t go so far as to hope that it adds style–I’ve got none!
)

LOL, Rhonda. So true! I’m wearing a hair clip now, too!!!!
Funny story about that, btw. Attended a neighbor’s wedding last weekend & she–the bride!–just about had a heart attack when she saw me all dressed up…nice clothes, hair fixed, make-up on. She only ever sees me in my run-around clothes, no make-up, & with my hair twisted up in a trusty clip, so I guess I caught her a little off-guard.
But still, is it appropriate for a bride to be complimenting a guest on how nice she looks…shouldn’t it be the other way around? (Just goes to show you how bad I look most days, I guess.)

Sarah, I knew that I wasn’t alone! I see the clip everywhere.
Kimberly,
on the hair spiders!
Andrea, they do break easily. I get mine at the dollar store, that way it doesn’t hurt so bad when the finally bite the dust. (Or the hair, whatever the case may be.
)
Ginger, a cool spell??? Really??? Oh, please I hope so!
Oh, Jen I like the little hair clips, too. I use them when I wash my face.
Kira, I think the little “bop” do you rocked on the plane to Scotland was adorable.
Andrea! Nooooo! You cannot cut your hair off. I heart your hair. I have hair envy.
Thanks, Jill!
Fedora, me and “style” aren’t BFF’s.

That’s it exactly, Rhonda. I spend way too much time in my cave, so when I go out, people are always startled to see me. And if I go out all dolled up… I’m tellin’ ya, it’s enough to start riots. (What–you’ve never seen a writer comb her hair before?!?)
