Christmas Wish List 2014 (Dream on...)
I'll probably not be able to receive any of these. I don't expect any of them. I also am too broke to buy anything here. It's okay. It's a distant dream, perhaps for the future =D
Note to all reading this: Please DO NOT buy these for me! Feel free to buy for yourself, but they are waaayyy too expensive and although they are good products, they are way out of my price range and also are luxuries, not needs, for me.

On oily hair and haircuts

So recently, I chopped off about a foot of my hair.
Why??!?!?
Well, basically, I cut my hair about once or twice a year. Twice at most. Every time, the haircut is about the same: lots of layers, short side-swept bangs, curled in, thinned out, etc. I usually get it done when I feel like my head is "too heavy" and I start to get headaches - probably honestly from studying and staring at the computer too long, but hair /is/ a confounding factor, so whatever ;)
Anyway, this time, I got my hair cut really short. Probably the shortest since the fifth grade.
Anyway, needless to say, I actually really like my haircut. But afterward, I noticed a few problems. I had to change the way I washed and dried my hair....
Bottom line, I'd say my haircare routine is easier, and I'm super happy with it. It's easy to work with and I don't worry about much, except when I really want my hair down.

- Oiliness - I noticed that my hair started getting much oilier than before. This is probably because despite shampooing, the sebum travels down my hair a lot faster than before, and now that it doesn't have to travel down as far for the sebum to reach the tips, the result is hair getting oily a lot quicker.
- No more hair serums - beforehand, I used to put hair serum on my ends because they were so dry and "splitty." Now, it's the opposite. If I put any hair serum at all, the hair becomes much more oily and gross the next day.
- Back to the hair iron - My hair now looks like a "square" every morning, so I have to painfully iron it all into place. That is, unless I just put it into a half-ponytail and forget about it.
- Less shampoo and conditioner - that's a money-saver, at least.
