Vacation Hair

You know what I'm talking about - when you are on vacation and your hair looks like who-would-have thought because of the change in climate. This especially happens to me because I wear my hair short and it's naturally curly (I usually straighten it - but my hair wins hand down at the beach).


No more unruly hair I say! Thanks to this great tutorial for an instant gratification crochet project - I mean head wrap. I spied this mane tamer on Angela's blog originally (she has some seriously curly locks) and knew I had to make one ... it wasn't until I was at the beach that I was painfully reminded by a quick glance in the mirror what the salt air, humidity, and wind does to my hair. Thankfully I packed some yarn for the occasional quite moment ...




A little over optimistic eh? Well, I just happened to have some cotton yarn that was perfect for the job. I crocheted with gusto I tell ya! I wanted to get my hair under control; desperate times indeed. The pattern was so easy to follow - the only changes I made was to make it a wee bit more narrow - I did not repeat row three - perfect for my pea size head.






Please excuse the poor photo. I was so excited I had to take a picture right then - in the bathroom with poor lighting - the hair was under a spell (not to mention some grease I'm sure!) ... I love this thing. I wore it all week long. Actually, I have it on right now.


Another one down for the crochet along - cha ching boda bing. How are you coming along?
