ReplyDeleteSo Neetu how did the weekend oiling go? Anything new and interesting? Did u get all you online shopping delivered? How about trying something new to work? A new style with a new accessory
I haven't ordered anything yet. Don't know where to start. Don't know what to get first.
DeleteThe maid's regularly oiling my hair. She has stopped asking me what hairstyle I want. Nowadays, she comes early morning and lightly adds oil to my already oily hair and ties it up in a high ponytail. In the evenings, she comes and heavily oils it and ties it in a style without asking me. She just does as she pleases. So I end up running to the mirror as soon as she says she's finished to see what she's done to my hair. Sometimes it's regular braids, sometimes it's fishtails, sometimes it's a french braids, sometimes it's different variations of buns.
Today as she was oiling my hair, I told her to leave my hair loose after oiling it. I was re-watching star wars and wanted to try the Princess Leia buns. http://cdn-img.instyle.com/sites/default/files/styles/684xflex/public/1448045120/112015-erics-wow-lead.jpg?itok=qqQ5ijoo
I didn't know how to explain it to her so i thought I'd try it myself. As I was making one of the buns, she just stood there and asked me what I was doing. So, I showed her the photo. She just laughed and asked me to sit down, telling me she'd tie it.As she was pinning everything in place, she looked at the photo again and said "next time, you should wear the dress too".
It's great your maid is trying out so many different kinds of braids on you. Love the sound of you running to the mirror to find out which one is it today :) Must be feeling wonderful to see your hair oiled nicely and combed into a new surprise style daily. Your maid seems adventurous in helping you with new styles and encouraging you to be bolder with your long hair and styling. Must have looked glamorous with the princess lea double buns! You should try the full look with makeup and dress. I am sure you won't stop looking at yourself in the mirror then! I also think you should wear French braids to work as well. With a colourful band at the end and clips in the front. Would look really professional and I am sure you will get some great comments.
DeleteLOL! Pooja, by french braids, do you mean the double french braids in the pic? If so, I am sure to get more than a few comments!
DeleteToo bad Ruchi that you can't keep oiled hair on all days :(
ReplyDeleteWhat about weekends? You can oil heavily on Saturday evening after work and then keep your hair oiled till Monday morning. It's very good to keep hair oiled for at least 24 hours if not more. It'll be a good inspiration for your sister also. Every time if she sees you oil your hair properly she won't complain.
yes indeed.. i only oil on sunday afternoon after my coaching is done.. from sunday afternoon till monday morning i do keep my oil very much soo oiled.. as per my sister.. i did try to convince her for heavy oiling she didnt listen.. but this time as i do bit coating of oil on thursday this time i did bit more oil than normally she didnt looked happy but bit of oil doenst hurt anyone :)
DeleteAbsolutely Ruchi. Property oiling her hair is not going to hurt for sure. The only thing you are doing is being good to her :) Slowly she will get used to it and ask you to put oil for her on her own. Why don't you try styling her oil into a French braid. It looks really neat for school and she will like her hair that way with oil. It's both stylish and neat.
Deleteyes! i get that it looks nice and all.. but in her school mostly she go with 2 simple plaits.. its sunday today so she is having dry hair.. i just oiled my hair.. not super heavy jst casual oiling.. got pony on
DeleteHi Ruchi. Next time, send her to school with twin french braids. Like this: https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/gBOlA-vkQIc52fZ9jK5tR4elqKw/fit-in/2048xorig/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2016/02/24/918/n/1922398/fa8ff2196e7327f7_Double-Dutch-French-Braids-Final-Look.jpg
DeleteThe attention she gets would be motivation enough to get her hair oiled and styled by you.
I agree that looks good and all.. just that i am concern its not allowed in her school.. to have fancy braids. but i will ask her if its allowed or not. but yee now i am going to try that just now :p hehe.. will coat my hair with oil before starting just for slicker look
DeleteI just loved the picture with the double braids Neetu. Looks super neat with oiled hair. I am sure you must have loved the look Ruchi. I hope your sister did as well and wants you to now tie her hair that way for school. It's not too different from the normal double braids. So not fancy, but something different and looks so neat and cool. I am going to oil my hair really well and try it tomorrow to work. It's good to look younger. I am sure I will have some eyes on me and comments, but it will be different and fun!!!
DeletePooja, absolutely! Double french braids looks soooo lovely. You should try it tomorrow to work. Feel free share a pic or two of that as well. :)
DeleteHello everyone, I found this forum and I wanted to share my experience with you. My name is Yan and my wife is Krishna. She is a housewife. I have known my wife for several years already and I wanted to share something that I find very weird. Krishna seems to be obsessed with hair oiling, not only hair oiling but very heavy hair oiling. Every single day, she will oil her hair very heavily. First thing in the morning, she will have her shower, then oil her hair heavily and then comb it. Also, every night, she will apply more oil on her hair that it will be dripping. She just pours the oil again and again. She spends most of her time taking care of her hair. If it is not oiled, it will be coated with henna. Her younger sister, Radha, stays with us as well and she will even do the same with her sister. Radha simply hates it, but still my wife will oil Radha's hair as heavily as she oiled hers.
ReplyDeleteThe only time my wife's hair will be dry will be after washing, and now too she washes only once in a week. Then after not even one hour, she will drench her hair with oil again. Her hair is always heavily oiled and if I touch them, my hands get so oily! All the bed sheets and pillows are so oily and even her clothes and towels have a rancid oil smell now.
I don't mind she oils her hair once or twice in a week. But keeping her hair so heavily oiled always is just too much. And on top of that, Radha faces the same situation and my wife will get angry if her sister resists. Very often, she will ask to oil my hair too, but I don't allow her and it always ends up in sulking. What is it that so much oiling is needed? I want to understand all that.
Thank you guys,
Yan
Hi Yan,
DeleteOiling is very good for the hair. Especially with today's pollution, it's very easy for the hair to become dull, lifeless, and dry. All she is doing is taking good care of her hair and insisting that everyone else too should care for their hair.
I agree that oil can get on every surface the hair comes in contact with. The solution is simple. A nice bun!
Hi. ruchi here.. today was monday and sister's school and such.. was going to oil her hair but she somehow stayed out late and came soo late home in afternoon taht we had kind of no time to oil >:(( i am sure she did that intentionally i was soo annoyed at her for that.. soo just took quick plaits and as per rule of oiled hair.. i just had to rub bit of oil in palm and stroke it to her hair.. i did scolded her for that and told her that i will surely oil more 2moro.. as she can't do that..
ReplyDeleteYes true Ruchi she can't do that. Give her proper oil massage today evening. Try making the double French braids for her first at home to try them out. They look really nice as I styled my hair like that to work and got lot of nice comments. Everyone thought I looked younger and cute. She will like it too and then she can have her hair like that for school also. I am sure no one will object. You may need to put some more oil in the morning though as the braided comes out really neat when the hair is oiled well. Hope you can manage and she gives in and likes it :)
ReplyDeleteHii yes! that day only after she came from school i acted really annoyed.. soo she only bought oil to me and said to oil her hair.. :)) so i did gave her good oil massage.. normally i rub oil in paln and than apply.. but last time i did had chance and just poured directly from bottle.. decent amount of oil.. and after that spreaded all that oil around the head and till end of hair. .she ofc didnt wanted that but as she did that mistake she had to take it as punishment.. and bout french braids today she might go to friends for study evening so i will try to take taht hair style. not sure about extra oil as she normally have light oiling.. and this time she have gotten properly oiled hair soo more oil i dnt think she will agree. but i will surely try to sneak that in :)..
ReplyDeleteGreat Ruchi. I am so glad she only brought the oil bottle to you and asked to oil her hair. In time it should not feel like a punishment. She should really want you to oil her hair with her wish. If it continues to feel like a punishment then best not to do it until she misses it herself and asks you to. I hope she likes the double French braids today and her friend also gives her good comments. That will make her feel good about oiling :)
ReplyDeleteHi everyone. Today, when the maid came, I was in the kitchen wearing a plain white shirt and a blue lungi folded at the knee (like all Malayalis do). I had my hair in a high ponytail. She smiled and said from the back, I look like a schoolgirl with my white shirt and blue "skirt". I corrected her saying it's a lungi. She replied it looks like a skirt from far and started with her work.
ReplyDeleteShe quickly finished her work and asked me to sit on the chair. I now keep a big box of every hair accessory I have. I had asked her to buy some for me as well. Whatever she buys for me, she puts it in the box. She oiled my hair and reached in the box and pulled out a few blue ribbons. She then middle parted my hair and tied the left portion of my hair very high above my ear. She did the same to the right side. As she was doing this, I asked her what she was doing.She laughed and said "getting you ready for school, beti". She then proceeded to braid my hair and tied it with a hair elastic with a bow on it. She did the same on both sides.
After braiding, she came around and took a few steps back looking at me and my hairstyle she has given me. I asked her "happy?". She just smiled and said "Yes. now be a good girl and put your shoes, get your back and go to the bus stop. You dont want to be late for school."
I just sat there shaking my head. She laughed and left.
The maid is getting bold with your styling :) That's a cute prank to play. I am sure you had a nice laugh and admired her work when you looked at yourself in the mirror.
DeleteSo what other accessories do you have and hope you use all of them. You should try getting a bun done and use a hair stick to keep it in place. Looks so cool with a nice sleek oiled bun. You should wear neck pieces as well along with earrings. Would go really well with the sleek bunned look :)
Today, after oiling after oiling my hair, while the maid was combing my hair, I asked her what she had planned for my hair. I wanted to step out after lunch to meet an old friend from school, so today isn't a good day for pranks. She replied that she was going to braid my hair. I asked her to just tie a high ponytail instead. She replied "That's too boring. I'll tie a bun?" I replied fine and she tied a sleek bun. Something similar to this: http://i0.wp.com/therighthairstyles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/5-sleek-bun-updo-for-prom.jpg?w=500
DeleteAs she was tying the bun, she laughed and said "So how was school yesterday?" I smiled and said "No school on Saturday."
Pooja, regarding hair sticks and neck pieces, guidance would be appreciated. I don't know what I should try and what would look good. This is uncharted territory.
DeleteI love the donut bun your maid did for you. I can just imagine how it must have turned with the right amount of oiling.
ReplyDeleteHere's how hair sticks work to hold your bun in place and look stylish:

This kind of neckpiece would look amazing with a sleek oiled bun and hoops for earrings.

Ooooooh.... Pooja! Those look lovely. Let me see if I can get a few like those.
DeleteToday I woke up really early. I needed to get to office early since we are having ethnic day today and I had volunteered to help decorate the office. I was already in my grey kurta and pyjamas and was gathering my things to leave when the maid came in. She asked me where I am off to this early. I told her and she asked me "No oiling today". I told her I want to but no time.She said she'll lightly oil it. Wont take more than two minutes.
ReplyDeleteI agreed and sat down on the chair. I remember her massaging my scalp and I drifted off into sleep. I hardly slept last night as I was in office till late in the night decorating the place.
Next thing I remember my maid is tapping me on my shoulder saying "Neetu, wake up. You're late for school. You need to run and catch the bus."
When I woke up, the maid was looking out the window and said the car is here. The cab that drops me to work had already come and was waiting for me. I quickly jumped up, took my bag, and ran out. i didn't even have time to check if I am fully dressed. I had overslept and needed to get to work.
I was the first to be picked up and I sat down in the back row seat of the Tavera. The driver was not my regular guy since I had asked for an early pickup. AS we were waiting outside the next pickup location, I suddenly remembered I didn't check myself before leaving. With no mirror in hand, I didnt have any way of seeing what hairstyle my maid "gifted" me. I touched my hair to see.
And as can be guessed, it was the same hairstyle as Saturday. I slowly untied it and tied it into a high pony. The only problem was I didn't have my generic back hair elastics with me. All I has was the blue ribbons and the elastics with bows on them. I chose the elastics with the bows and tied a high pony tail.
Happy that I escaped embarassment, I relaxed and suddenly felt something was odd. I looked down to find that the maid had put a dupatta (probably hers) on me with a "V" in the front and it was pinned to my shoulders the two ends hung down behind me from my shoulders. Just as I unpinned it, someone entered the car.
The rest of the ride was uneventful. I kept subtly checking if the maid had any other surprises. I checked my earrings and everything I was wearing. By the time I reached office, I was quite convinced that I caught everything.
As soon as I entered, i busied myself with decorating the office. I received a lot of comments from colleagues for getting into the "ethnic spirit". By noon, I was completely lost in the merriment and the morning's adventure was almost out of mind.
Post lunch, i went to wash my hands. That was the first time I actually looked in a mirror after leaving home. There was a third part to the maid's prank. I had a black bindi on my forehead and thick eyeliner outlining my eyes. something like this: http://beautynbuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/DSC03063.jpg
Removing it after everyone has seen it is pointless and would just raise more questions so I decided to leave it on and have a strong word with the maid in the evening. Her games may be getting out of hand.
What do you think, Pooja? Should I ask her to stop?
The school girl look wouldn't have been apt for office but the fact that you got compliments for the rest of it meant it looked good on you :) I think you should be encouraging the maid instead of asking her to stop. But maybe you shouldn't leave it entirely to her. You should have asked her for a French braid. That would have gone really well with the bindi,eyeliner and dupatta to complete the ethnic look.
ReplyDeleteReally, Pooja? Encourage her? Sure, next time she puts a bindi and eyeliner on me, I'll definitely ask for a french braid ;P
DeleteI told her her pranks are getting out of hand. It's alright if she does it on a holiday when I am most likely at home watching TV or something.
Today, after oiling my hair, she asked me what to do. I told her to tie a loose braid. She did something like this: http://cdn2.stylecraze.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ombre-Long-One-Side-Braid.jpg
Looks awesome!!! Messy fishtail braid on the side. Must have looked even better with oily hair. So you went to office like that I hope :)
ReplyDeleteIt looked amazing. it had just enough oil to be shiny. Too much and it'll stain my shirt. I wore a plain white shirt like in the pic.
DeleteAnd yes, I went to office like that. Except that my shirt was buttoned up and I wasn't wearing something she's wearing ;p
The eye liner would have been a nice touch though to complete the look :)
DeleteSo what's the new oily hairstyle adventure this weekend??
I went out for brunch yesterday. Since I was stepping out and was planning to wear a cap I had asked the maid to just tie a high ponytail. That way, when i am wearing the cap, I can take the ponytail through the hole in the back and it looks good. Something like this: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0397/7673/products/lpinkponytailbaseballcapsponycback_40f5c4c7-7ff3-4540-a3d7-e75c8d73333c.jpg
DeleteMy friend, who I was meeting for brunch, noticed my oiled hair instantly and kept talking and asking about it. She kept asking what oil do i use, how often do I wash it, how often do I shampoo and condition it, and so on.
Our plan was to just sit and talk for hours. So we ordered coffee and bread and eggs and some sausages and we talked about this and that. Every other question was about my hair. I told her about my routine with the maid. i didn't tell her about the pranks though.
She asked me if I've tried anything other than ponytails. I told her I sometimes keep my hair in a bun (or two) or a braid (or two). She almost fell off her chair when I said I keep my hair in braids at times when I am home. She asked me if I have any hair accessories. I told her I've got a few claw clips, scrunchies, and hairpins, but nothing fancy.
The conversation then moved on to how great my hair looks these days (because of the daily oiling) and other topics. Soon we were out of things to talk about so we sat back stared into the road below and sipped our coffee.
After maybe 10 minutes of silence, she turned towards me and said "What sort of braids do you know?" I shrugged and said "generic, french, and fishtail braids. I don't know much". Her eyes lit up and she asked "Do you know dutch braids?" I just shook my head no. She jumped up and said "It looks awesome. Can I try it on your hair?"
Before I could reply, she already had her hands on my hair and she was pulling the hair elastic off my hair. She quickly parted my hair in the middle began braiding the left side and then the right side. Until yesterday, I hadn't even heard of dutch braids. So, I didn't even know what to expect.
As she was braiding my hair, she asked if I had another hair elastic. When I told her I didn't, she said "No worries. Just move my handbag to here. I've got a few in there." After what felt like eternity, with her adjusting and pulling my hair and me sitting nervously wondering what I got myself into, she announced "Done!"
As I reached around to touch the braid, she smacked my hand and put something on my left shoulder and my right shoulder. While I was expecting one braid, she had done double braids. Something like : http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0365/4925/files/Double-dutch-braid_large.jpg?16496179298726452594
She then just sat down and said "You look super cute".
My my that does sound cute :). Atlast you have a friend who's started taking interest in your hair. Now make the most of it and ask her to make it regular thing. Meet often and ask her to play with your hair, try new styles and get really adventurous ;) You mussst. She will help you chose accessories as well to accentuate the long hair that you have. Earrings and Neck pieces and hair sticks. You can offer to oil and comb her hair too. Super date that would be. The Dutch braids look great. Hope you had oiled your hair really well. They would have turned out really good. Otherwise they are difficult to do. I like the sleek pony coming out of the cap too. Looks super cute!
DeleteIt looked great. She's quite good with all this. I don't know what more I can do to be adventurous. Feel free to name a few styles you think I should try. I'll get the necessary accessories and try them out.
DeleteThere are just soooooo many hairstyles you can do once your hair is oiled. Go to Flickr.com and lookup hairstyles from the user hairchick82. She has amazing long hair and puts up pictures of many styles with oiled hair as well. All of them are nicely grouped by type as well French braids, Dutch braids, Buns etc.
DeleteFor traditional Indian braids you can look up the user "Indian braided hair" and check out so many oily braid and bun pictures.
This you tube video is fab as well as she teaches you many oiled hair styles. You can share this with your friend too and both of you can have an oiled hair day and try out these styles on each other.
https://youtu.be/5lj603Hf8x0
Accessories you can use whichever ones you like to experiment with once you have styled your hair. It's okkkk to get a bit girly as well or else you'll kill the enjoyment :)
Have fun!!
Thanks, Pooja! I'll definitely check the videos out.
DeleteHi! posting after week or so! i was at wedding.. soo didnt had time to post at all.. but today morning we came back.. and past week was fun new.. and good change from daily routine.. and 2moro its weekend soo again some free time.. we both had dry hair through out the week.. soo today i jst strictly told my sister to get her hair oiled real good as its weekend and none gonna see and mostly its rest time..
ReplyDeleteSo i did oiled her good this time.. each hair was oily.. and than after massage did that french braid.. looked soo slick and nice ^_^! and than i let her oil my hair too..
Glad you had fun at the wedding Ruchi......but you had dry hair for a week!!!! How did you manage without oiling for so long. :(
ReplyDeleteOil in the hair again must be feeling soooooo nice. I can just imagine how her french braid must have looked. And then she oiled your hair. How nice! Did she enjoy that part? Such a good bonding between the two of you. Now just keep the oil through the weekend.
yee whole week dry wasnt that comfy but had to manage.. and not sure she enjoy oiling me yet.. but thats fine.. you know modern world.. and yes i will surely bring it up for oiling again tonight.. not sure will work.. but i will get another oil session ^_^
DeleteHii! ruchi here again! me and my sister both had really good hair oiling time as it is x-mas vacations going on! and she was having headache i convinced her for good hair oiling.! soo this time i heated up some oil and from container with dropper i started oiling her hair ! by parting hair each little length of hair! slowly her whole hair got nice and oily! than i just stopped with dropper and directly use small amount of bottle on top of her hair.. and started spreading! from top to bottom her whole hair were nicely oiled! she never had this much oil in her hair!! she also felt bit relax ( soo as very weird hehe) ! and afterwards i took tight braids for rest of day..
ReplyDeleteAnd bottle had some 80-100ml of oil left.. soo i jst decided to oil my hair too! and took nice shiny pony!
Hi Ruchi. It sounds to me that your lil sister is starting to enjoy oiling. Hopefully, soon she'll be coming to you with the bottle asking you to oil her hair.
DeleteShe's lucky to have a sister like you. I, certainly, am jealous. Anyway, keep oiling and keep posting.
Oh... and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
Merry Christmas to you to Neetu. Hope you are enjoying the holiday season and trying new stuff with your hair as well ;)
DeleteWow!!! Finally both sisters had a proper oil massage and enjoyed it :) This vacation time you can do regular proper oiling and spend good time together. By the time the vacation is over your sister will get used to and start wanting the oil massage during her school days too. It is addictive once you get used to it :) I have been enjoying the relaxed time as well. Good dry and cool weather so more u feel like putting oil and styling your hair. It's maintained well and stays moisturised and no dryness or dandruff also. Plus looks so sleek and shiny. I cant manage without proper oiling in this season. Feel so refreshed after the warm oil massage and going out in the cool air with a sleek braid or shiny pony....with jeans and a top and light jacket. Looks so nice.
ReplyDeleteYes it really feel refreshing and nice!! after that day not much of thing happened related to hair.. she didnt wanted anymore oil as she think she had enough( it was her first time goodoiling) soo i did not force much..! i still do comb her hair nicely 3 time day! but yes still havnt let her wash it off.. will try to keep that oil as much as possible..!
Deleteand in my hand i did oiled little more today! not alot special.. jst topping..
Ya best not to force. Let her enjoy and get used to oiled hair herself. Today is the third day with oiled hair na :) Combing oiled hair feels so nice also. The comb feels nice on your scalp and just glides into your long hair. No knots and no breakage and u get a sleek look no matter which style you do. Topping up is good. I always top up little oil every time I comb my hair. Just that little bit to make it look shiny again.
Deleteyes indeed. but after that today morning only she washed her hair.. as she wanted to go out and spend time with friend soo i didnt said anything but as she came at around 9 ! i again gave her good oiling.. took alot of time and yelling at her.. but in the end she had to take oiling.. as i got chance i made sure her each and every hair are oiled.. and than gave her good massage.. i prioritized lenght of hair more this time.. as i normally put more oil on root but this time i took oil and spreaded her length many time.. soo whole length of hair is nicely oiled and shiny..
Deleteand for my hair i just washed my hair.. will see 2moro what to do..
The only thing to do is oil ofcourse today. U can't stay without it na. :))
DeleteHow has the new year been Ruchi. Hope the resolution for both sisters is to oil properly and keep hair oiled on more days. Write when u can.
DeleteHi, everyone. I wanted to post this earlier but my weekend was rather eventful.
ReplyDeleteFor christmas, my maid asked me if I wanted "special hairstyle". Since I was in a festive mood, I asked her to go ahead. So, after oiling my hair, she combed it so that my hair was nice, shiny and straight. She then worked her magic and before long, she asked me to go look in the mirror.
When I looked in the mirror,guess what I saw. This: http://www.hairstyles123.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Gorgeous-Beehive-Hairstyle.jpg
Wow Neetu....that looks gorgeous!! You must have looked amazing in that shiny undo. Ur maid is gifted with styling. What else did she do for you? Waiting to hear about the rest of the eventful weekend ;) Did you look at the Flickr pictures and the video I sent you? For Christmas I had side French braids and then a topsy twist into a shiny fishtail braid. Added a few neon bobby pins as embellishments to my sleek and shiny braid. Looked so cool. Similar to this they looked.
Deletehttps://images.britcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/2-NeonBobbyPins.jpg?fit=max&w=1600
You must get some to accessorise your braids at times.
Yes, Pooja. She's quite good at this. She's always experimenting with her hair as well. It's different kinds of braids and buns.
DeleteI did see the videos. Thanks for sharing them.
I'm sure your braids looked damn good. Especially with the neon bobby pins. I'll most definitely see if I can get a few as well.
I'm currently looking at ideas for hairstyles for this weekend. Something special for the new year. Any suggestions?
This is the style I was telling you about earlier...
Deletehttps://www.flickr.com/photos/53641086@N07/31678750691/
I have tried it and it looks amazing. Don't know why she didn't oil her hair while doing this style. Usually her braids look so perfect as she oils her hair really well.
Put some colourful pins into the braid and wear a neck piece and maybe hoops or some other nice earrings to go with this style. Don't forget the eye liner as well :)
It looks really beautiful. I agree that she should've oiled it. It would have looked truly amazing if the hair was oiled.
DeleteColourful pins... neck piece.... hoop earrings... eyeliner... anything else you want me to wear? Perhaps a lovely saree ;P
Sorry!! Getting carried away with the normal stuff that goes with a great hair style. Forgetting you are a guy :)) Just get your hair done that way, look awesome and enjoy!
DeleteLOL! I was just pulling your leg, Pooja. After all, why should girls have all the fun!
DeleteHappy New Year everyone!!! The past few months have been quite wonderful. The blog got over a thousand views in December. I want to thank everyone who posted comments and everyone who has been visiting and are continuing to visit the blog regularly.
ReplyDeleteI hope 2017 is going be an even better year. Thanks once again and hope you all find success in all your endeavours.
Happy new year and happy hair oiling to all. May all our hair remain long, strong, healthy, sleek and shiny :) thru 2017
DeleteSuper dp Neetu. I love wearing my braids in front of me. But you need to always have a sleek oiled hair look for this blog! How about...

ReplyDeleteafter that hair part came.. as we have idea my sister dnt like oiling that much so just gave her slight oiling and took 2 braids.. but her friend got blunt cut till shoulder.. soo braids are not possible. she jst keep her hair open.. because of that she had to oil little more as open hair can spot less oily hair and school might take action.. ( in case of my sister braids cover that)! so i got to oil her hair very nice.. she had dry hair..so just took comb and oil bottle. and start putting some oil and spread on with comb .soo oil get all over.. for top of the head i repeated that all over..and than used my finger to massage little bit and rubbed some excess oil in scale.. than took some oil and with both hands pressed her bottom part.. soo ends also get oiled.. and i looked at my sister and taunt as her friend didnt said anything bout oiling and just sat nicely.. After that just combed straight all over again and again.. and asked her what partition she want. and she wanted side one not middle soo i took that.. and as no braids its rule to have hairband.. she had her all hair nicely oiled i could easily see that from window when they left from school as it was shining nicely coz of sun :) . This only incident happend this week.. its sunday soo i also might oil my hair
So nicely described Ruchi. It sounds like u had a great time oiling her friends hair. I am sure she must have looked really cute with her hairband and nicely oiled hair. Great inspiration for your sister too. I hope she wants to oil her hair like that without any fuss seeing that her friend's really like it.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday and hope you did a nice Tel champi :-) for yourself. Sooooo relaxing and funnnn. Just doing mine now. Have to go out in the evening with friends so just getting my hair oiled properly as I washed it this afternoon and now want it oiled well. Gonna take a bun today with a hairstick through. Very stylish to wear with a long dress for my dinner outing.
Yes really ! straight hair blunt cut hair band with good amount of oily hair.. looks soo nice..e ! and true.. hopefully my sister also dnt being such fuss bout oil! their project have not complete yet.. hopefully that girl comes again.. !
DeleteYeah hope she does this week. Ask your sister what she thought such a nice oiling and whether she will let you oil the same way without fuss :)
DeleteSo how did your oiling go? This is the best time to make sure your hair stays oiled in the cold dry weather. Prevents all kinds of hair problems. If you can't oil too heavy because of work, make sure you oil lightly at least and take your hair into a nice professional looking sleek oily bun. Goes well with any kind of dressing
Hey.. i have tried that in past.. but as coach / PT teacher position.. its just not possible.. the sweat always ruins hair more.. and just wasting of oil.. soo i can't really oil in weekdays..
DeleteI know....too bad :(
DeleteI bet you must be really looking forward to every weekend then to have your fully covered in oil and combed nicely. Such a relaxing and wonderful feeling. Till then I guess you can feel good everytime you oil your sister's hair and hopefully her friend's to during the week. After all oiling someone else's hair is also an enjoyable experience and plus your taking care of the other person's hair as well. So you can definitely feel good about that even if you can't oil your own hair during the week.
Hello Pooja and Neetu,
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and hope oiling is going well. Sorry have not been able to post due to travel and.work schedule. Recently my mother came to visit and we had nice oiling sessions. She was happy how my hair was looking and the length of it. She complemented the maid for taking good care of my hair and for regular oiling. I have not met my neighbour aunty for some time so hopefully this weekend drop by and say hi. Juat finished a nice champi massage. My maid also said her mother will be visiting over next few days and she also oils her hair heavily. Please adivise wha should I get for aunty and maids mother as gift.
Thanks
Aakash
Hi Aakash.
DeleteWelcome back to the blog. I'm eager to hear what you've been upto and how the oiling have being going on for the past few months.
Hi Neetu,
DeleteDue to constant traveling, oiling was not done on regular basis. But whenever I was home the maid made sure heavy oiling was done. She would ensure scalp is really oiled and massaged. When my mother was here, on weekends we would all have heavy oiled hair and no washing of hair for two days. Oiling would done every couple of hours. Yesterday went to meet aunty after long time, she was not home but her maid was happy you see me. She inquired about me and talked about oiling and opened my hair and combed and oiled it.
After I got home and after dinner my maid again combed and oiled my hair. I liked all the photos posted. Have to try some of these hairstyle out.
Thanks
Aakash
Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteMy past few weeks have been beyond hectic. Work is maddening and I am ending up spending close to 12 maybe even 14 hours in office.
Nowadays, I keep switching between three hairstyles primarily.
1: http://www.fashionmio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Topknot-Hairstyles-15.jpg
2: https://thefashiontag.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/kim-kardashian-ponytail.jpg
3: http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=7362105
The maid has been oiling my hair as usual. Once every morning during the weekdays and once in the morning and once in the evening during the weekends.
She's been asking me to get a haircut. Not to cut it off entirely but to get a different style. She suggests I get bangs or fringe.
Any suggestions?
Love the three hairstyles. Particularly the sleek pony one. Kim kardashian....good choice ;)
ReplyDeleteIf you really want to get a haircut, then I would suggest a layered look to give you hair some volume. You should still preserve the length of course, but get some layers in. Some shorter ones till the chin, some mid length and some full length. Post layers you wont be able to braid as well, but the pony will still happen and with more volume, even with oiled hair. Check this video of how oiled hair looks with layers.
https://youtu.be/Q87j7Wpjx9o
Thanks, Pooja, for the suggestion. I got my hair cut in layers. The stylist suggested a side fringe as well. Something like this but black: http://www.sophiegee.com/wp-content/uploads/long-layered-haircuts-side-fringe-for-pictures-100946.jpg
DeleteI thought I'd get it styled because I've got a wedding to attend and I've got to look my best. One of my closest friends is getting married and she's specifically told me "don't just walk in wearing shirt and jeans and hair up in a ponytail. Look like you're here for the wedding."
So, I need your help and anyone else who is reading this. Help me pick out something to wear and a hairstyle to match.
Great style. I really like it. You should wear a silk tunic with cotton pants. With nice earings and neck piece as accompaniments. Light oiling and you should be able to leave your hair open. Use jasmine coconut oil. Tunic something like this
ReplyDeletehttp://www.fabindia.com/products/root-women-clothing-tunics/fabindia/silk-cotton-printed-kalamkari-tunic/pid-11510722.aspx?gclid=CJKdp-uB1dECFcsTaAod8tkNOQ
That's a lovely tunic, Pooja. Too bad they don't have my size :P
DeleteLeaving my hair open would definitely look good. But she'll just think I am being lazy. She'll think since I was told not tie a ponytail, I am just leaving it open and not taking any effort to style it at all.
The maid when she was oiling my hair yesterday asked if I had any plans for tomorrow. I told her no. I had planned to stay at home and tidy up the place. She said "in that case, I've a surprise for you when I come on thursday".
ReplyDeleteI wonder what she is planning. Any guesses?
Your guess is as good as mine. Knowing her sense of surprise, you can expect something really bold coming your way :) Have fun is all I can say and let her go all out with whatever she has in store for you. Just be a sport and enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteHi Neetu, I love your blog and I check everyday for a new story. I thought I shall contribute to this wonderful blog.
ReplyDeleteI posted a story on 03 November 2016 and this is my latest submission.
I am a long hair man. I have been growing hair since last 6 years and my hair length around 2 feet which reach my mid back. I have been growing hair for spiritual reason and I have taken a vow not to cut my hair as advised by my spiritual master.
I oil my hair everyday to keep them healthy, neat and tidy.
Normally I wear my hair in topknot like lord Shiva.
Since last few days, feminine side of my personality became prominent. I felt that I am consort of Lord Shiva and I had a desire of being a woman.
I consulted my spiritual master and he recommended me to balance male and female (yin-yang)energies in my personality which is evident after deep meditation for longer duration.
He suggested me to live like a woman for few days, unless my feminine side is balanced and desire is fulfilled.
So the journey towards temporarily becoming a woman started.
I became clean shaven.
I requested my mother to sport my hair like a woman which she happily agreed. I washed my hair and wrapped them in a towel bun on top of my head to dry.
After few minutes, my mother asked me to seat on floor and she sat on a stool with a bottle of Parachute coconut oil.
Mother applied coconut oil elaborately on my scalp and other portions of head. She elaborately applied oil to each hair strand head to end. I was holding a mirror in my hand and I was enjoying sleeking of hair by mother.
Then mother combed my hair with several strokes of comb which evenly spreaded oil. Then she started braiding my hair. She made a nice tight braid of my long oiled hair.
Mother asked me whether I would like to tie a braided bun? which I happily agreed. Mother rolled my hair in a braided bun and secured with pins.
I loved my sleek hair and braided bun so much. I was satisfying feminine side of my personality.
My mother had brought jasmine flowers stringed together (Gajra) and she decorated my braided hair bun by tying Gajra around it.
Then she helped me to wear blouse, sari. I sported bindi, I wore ear rings.
I has spiritual high and I was enjoying my transformation.
Next day, mother oiled hair and made a nice tight braid.
I am enjoying being a woman. I am balancing my feminine energy.
I will update once I get back to my original state.
Hi! Priyamvad again on this blog.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am living as a woman as per advice of my spiritual master. So we are three women in home. 2 real - my mother and elder sister and third myself as temporary status until my feminine side of personality is balanced.
Mother said, since you are also a girl, please do my hair today. My mother has long hair upto waist length which she normally keeps tied in bun or sports a braid.
She applies coconut oil almost everyday. Her age is 52 but still not a single grey hair.
She sat on floor and I sat on a chair behind her. I poured coconut oil on her scalp and patted on her scalp. Then I poured some more oil on my palm and applied on her head. I gave her a good head massage.
After head massage, I applied oil on her strands and then I combed hair with gentle strokes. I removed tangles.
My mothers hair looking sleek and straight.
Then I made 3 portions of her hair and started braiding. I made a tight braid of my mothers hair.
She was very happy to see a well oiled nice tight braid. She complimented me.
I love my mother. Its her care and nourishment that I could grow my hair long although being a man.
I tied a festoon of Jasmine flowers on her braid.
I will update on my experience of living as a woman
Hii! finally posting.. past 2 weeks were hectic as normal.. 3rd week of jan was nothing but last week that same girl with blunt cut came for project.. she didnt on 3rd week as she was in some kind of trip.. and due to that she got some dandruff..! that day i was soo shocked as i never thought that would happen... in afternoon before school i got call from her mother to take care of her hair as never expected dandruff and that happened..
ReplyDeletebefore school both of them good really good oiling ^_^ ! i directly used oil from bottle on that girl on her middle partition.. and than after oiling took pin and took 1 side of her hair and pinned it to right.. as she wanted it and as per my sister.. i used normal oil and took 2 braids. both looked soo nice going school as i saw from window their hair were soo shiny.. specially blunt one as i used alot of oil..
Today its sunday soo i will also oil my hair the only day i can do sadly
Ruchi....so nice to hear from you. Felt like you had left the blog :(
DeleteDandruff is really bad and the best thing to prevent it is to keep your scalp and hair nicely oiled.
That girls mother must be so happy that you are taking such good care of her daughters hair. She will send her to you only to get her hair oiled atleast once a week even if there is no project. I am sure you don't mind :))
The girls must have looked really nice after you took care of their hair oiling with so much love. Oiled hair looks so shiny and nice when it's combed and styled. The friend is a really good influence on your sister. I hope she's liking to get her hair oiled now much more.
Now enjoy your Sunday by getting your hair properly oiled. Then wear a french braid or a nice sleek and shiny pony and go out so that you can flaunt your oily hair and enjoy it for the one day in the week :(
Keep posting!
Oh yess that girl do have good influence on my sister as she dnt get fussy about oiling! so as my sister can't say anything when shes around about using less oil or anything so thats good :))
Deletemy sister washed her hair sat. evening after coming from school. i got early work tomorrow so i just oiled her hair just now only.. just have oiled her head not the length of hair for now.. will do that tomorrow.. This way i can easily sneak in more oil ;)) as i oiled her now like normal quantity and tomorrow i will repeat it same but with length also :p ! i still got my hair oiled and jst tucked on head with buckle.. will wash it tomorrow morning only.. and mayb jst take very miner bit of on palm and spread ti on head before work
Hi! Priyamvad again sharing my experience.
ReplyDeleteMy mother's well oiled braid looked so beautiful that my elder sister Uma was quite impressed. She was curious and asked mother who did your hair? Mother replied my new daughter "Priya"
Uma was after me to do her hair. She brought hair oil and two combs.
She sat on floor and I sat behind her on chair.
I opened Uma's braid. Her waist length hair cascaded on her back. They needed oiling.
Uma asked me to apply lots of hair oil since she wanted sleek look of her hairstyle.
I mid parted her hair with comb and poured hair oil on her scalp and patted with palm. Then I massaged her head.
I applied oil on back of her head and then coated strands with oil. She was seeing it in mirror held in hand.
When she was satisfied with amount of oil, I started combing her hair with wide tooth comb. I removed damaged hair, matted hair, detangled.
Then I combed with a regular comb. Oil was dripping after every stork of comb. I applied oil again onger scalp.
Once oil soaked, I asked her which hairstyle she wants? She opted for a braided bun.
I made a nice tight braid of her hair and rolled it into a bun. I secured with pins.
My sister was looking very beautiful in sleek hair and braided bun.
Since I am living as a woman, my sister is happy because she has a sister.
She promised me to do my hair tomorrow.
Since it was night, I thought I shall sleep with simple bun or topknot. Braided bun will be uncomfortable.
Uma opened my braided bun and she combed my hair.
I decided to wear topknot. brushed my hair forward and rolled them into bun on top of head.
I was looking forward for my sister to do my hair.
Hi Ruchi and "Priya". Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat about your republic day surprise from the maid....Neetu? Waiting to hear about that
DeleteHi Pooja. I wanted to post this yesterday but my internet connection failed as I was typing this so I had to rewrite it from scratch.
ReplyDeleteThursday was wild. The weekends I generally sleep late and therefore wake up late as well. So, the maid has a key so that she doesn’t have to wait outside for me to wake up and open the door. The sounds of her cleaning up plus her anklets as she walks from one room to another usually wakes me up.
Thursday was different. I didn’t hear her clean up or hear her anklets. I woke up with her shaking me awake. She was literally shouting at me “wake up! Time to get dressed. Time to go.”
As soon as I got up she handed me my towel and asked me to bathe. As I stepped out after my quick wash, she made me sit and she oiled my hair and proceeded to braid it. She then blindfolded me and I could hear multiple ankets. So I figured that her daughter was also there to help me get dressed.
With the blindfold on, she held out two packets and asked me to choose one. When I tried to remove the blindfold, she playfully hit my hand away and told me “Don’t look. Just pick.” I reached out and touched one. I couldn’t tell which one I touched.
She made me hold out my hand and she took out what was in the packet and placed it on my outstretched arms, telling me not to move. She took the item on the top, opened it and dropped it to the floor. She then asked me take a few steps forward and I did until she told me to stop. Asking me to move my foot a bit, she lifted the item and tied it to my waist. It felt like a ready made lungi with a drawstring for “security”.
As she was doing this, the maid’s daughter had taken something else and ran my arms through the opening. I couldn’t pay much attention to it as I was preoccupied with what the maid was doing.
I still had something quite heavy in my arms and it felt very soft to touch as well. Meanwhile as the maid was adjusting what I assumed was a lungi or dhoti, I felt something metallic touch on my ankles. I thought it was jus her metal bangles rubbing on my ankles as she was making the adjustments.
As soon as the maid was done with that, the daughter took the heavy cloth from my hands. And i could hear her walk in front of me. The maid meanwhile began to move to behind me. She then moved my arms into what felt like ill-fitting shirt sleeves. The daughter, meanwhile, was making some adjustments to the “dhoti” and it was steadily getting heavier.
Everything was happening so fast that I didn’t have time to think about what they were doing. Add to that the maid and the daughter kept me busy talking about the weather and how cold it is outside and how lucky I am that I get to sleep in and not step outside in the cold and go to work.
Before I knew it, the maid fastened something behind me and the daughter placed something on my left shoulder and she quickly pinned it in place. In what felt like a nanosecond, the maid had me sit down and she draped a large piece of cloth over me and she removed the blindfold.
When I looked down, all i could see was the bed sheet that was washed two days ago draped over me. So that I would not touch and see what i was wearing, she made me put my arms out and over the bedsheet. She then asked me to close my eyes and she proceeded to put eyeliner on me. She then put a bindi and opened a packet and showed me the biggest bunch of flowers I’ve seen recently.
She proceeded to attached the flowers to my braid. Meanwhile, her daughter had been adding bangles to my arms, changed my ear rings and added a necklace. By the time, the maid was done pinning the flowers, I had two arms full of bangles in patriotic saffron, white and green.
The maid asked me to close my eyes again, then removed the bedsheet. Telling me to keep my eyes shut, she held my hands and walked me to my bedroom and infront of my mirror.
What I saw made my jaw drop. I was in a saffron and green saree with a matching blouse. Something like this: https://ak3.scstatic.net/1/cdn2-cont15.sweetcouch.com/148422950138729190-scintillating-saffron-orange-parrot-green-saree.jpg
She dropped a pair of sandals on the floor and said “wear this and let’s go. It’s almost time.”
Delete“Where are we going” I asked her. She smiled and said “Surprise. Lock the door and come downstairs. I’ll get my Activa and pick you up.”
By the time I figured out how to walk in heels (it’s not very high but I have no experience) and how to walk in saree (words cannot express how hard I found it initially), the maid was already downstairs and waiting. As I stood there trying the figure out how to sit while wearing a saree. She just laughed at my predicament and just said “sideways”. Finally, after I sat down, she said “hold on” and took my arm and put it around her waist, and we were off to whereever she was taking me.
After ten minutes or so, we arrived at an open ground with a flag pole in the far end. People were slowly gathering and the sun was barely up. Soon, the speakers were set up and patriotic songs began playing (so loud that I could’ve heard the songs from home). People started handing out tea and coffee and biscuits.
With everyone busy with what they were doing and no one staring at me too much, I got the courage to walk around and stretch my legs. People would occassionally comment about the saree or the flowers and I would simply mouth “thank you” or smile at them. It felt weird to be addressed as “akka” or “didi”.
A woman, roughly my age, along with her little daughter came up to me asked if I could keep an eye on the girl. I nodded and in response the woman told her daughter “stand with aunty and hold her hand. Amma will come back in a minute. Ok?” To that the daughter smiled and nodded.
So the little girl and I started walking about, but not too far from where I was. Soon, she said her legs were hurting and asked if I can carry her. So, I picked her up and stood and watched people making the final preparations for the celebrations.
Seeing me with the girl, the maid walked up to me and jokingly asked how old my daughter was and said that the daughter has gotten her looks from her dad as she lookes nothing like me, her “mother”.
As the flag hoisting started the girl’s mother finally arrived and took the girl, who was fast asleep with her head on my shoulder. As she took her, she said “you’re really good with children. Strong maternal instincts”. All I could do is smile.
As soon as the flag hoisting was over and sweets were distributed and eaten, the maid said “let’s go”. I was more than happy to!
As we reached the activa, she gave me the keys and said “You drive. I am tired.” When I told her I am in a saree, she said “So am I and I am not complaining. Now, let’s go back”. So I drove us back home. My heart would not stop pounding. I kept thinking “If police stops me, my license would not match how I look right now”, “if I crash, I’d definitely make headlines”, etc.
Luckily, without any problems, I reached home. As the maid was leaving, i asked her “what was in the other packet?” She smiled and asked “What other packet?”
Wow!! That's quite an adventure!!! It's a lot more of a surprise than you bargained for and quite a transformation :))
DeleteDespite being apprehensive, I think you quite enjoyed it though ;)
So now I guess you are all set to wear a saree to your friends wedding? There's no size issues with that right. I really think our Indian traditional dress looks really nice. Specially with long and well oiled hair.
So are you able to still braid properly after the layered haircut? I have always wanted to get my hair cut like that, but I am petrified of not getting my perfect braid due to different hair lengths, so I have stayed away. I do get trims as I don't like it longer than my waist, but it's always been one length. Maybe one of these days when I really get guts to do it.
Yes, Pooja! It was quite an adventure. I had given the maid some extra cash during the demonitization craze. Now that things are more or less back to normal, she's back on her feet and bought the saree with the leftover money.
DeleteThe layered cut means that you'll have a some hair sticking out here and there. I am totally okay with it.If oiled heavily enough, your hair may behave and stay within the braid. My hair wont. I've got curly hair... like shakira.
Every time I wash my hair, I look like this:https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/84/52/d9/8452d9ff69ae8127192b463f7ecafa20.jpg
Hey....I think you have great hair. If your hair is that long and so naturally permed, I think it looks fab. And if you wanna leave it open, you just need to oil it little lighter with coconut or jasmine oil and the shiny curls would look awesome. If I had your hair I would be running my fingers through it and playing around all day :)
DeleteIf you want to braid or bun that hair then I can understand you need to oil really heavily, but the maid handles that really well. I am sure you don't mind getting a superb oiling anytime! Don't mind me saying, but you got naturally girly looks :)
Awwwww..... Thanks, Pooja.
DeleteYou know...you should try shaping your eyebrows and try on coloured lenses for the friends wedding.
DeleteSure, Pooja. I am unsure what to wear though. I need to look spectacular. She's always complaining that I am in jeans and tshirts.
DeleteWear a short kurta and flowing lehnga.....oil lightly with jasmine infused coconut oil, leave your hair open.....accessorise really well...chunky neckpiece, big earings and kadas on wrists....coloured lenses, eyeliner and shaped eyebrows.....spectacular enough??
Deletehttps://www.google.co.in/search?q=wedding+salwar&rlz=1C9BKJA_enIN660IN661&hl=en-GB&prmd=ivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-gde1gvjRAhWHRI8KHRBMClYQ_AUIBygB&biw=768&bih=909#hl=en-GB&tbm=isch&q=wedding+salwar+short&imgrc=8Zasm4SMoA14jM:
LOL! As I was reading your comment on my phone, my friend messaged me asking if I have decided what to wear. She reiterated that I cannot show up in a tshirt or jeans.
DeleteSo, as a joke, I sent the pic you shared and told her I am wearing "short kurta and flowing lehnga. Hair oiled lightly with jasmine infused coconut oil and left open".
Her response shocked me. "Don't leave it open" followed by "Reshma is helping me with my outfit. She's got something planned for the entire gang as well" was all she said.
So, now I need to go meet her wedding planner to find out what I am wearing. I am her closest friend. She went through a rough patch when all her friends stabbed her in the back and abandoned her, and then she met me and we're been close friends since. So you can understand why she's after me to look my best for her wedding. It's almost as if I am her "maid of honor".
So what is the "maid of honour" going be dressed like?
DeleteAnd how is "she" going to manage her lovely tresses :)
What's the magic Reshma is going to work on you
Hey Neetu....how did it go meeting Reshma? Was she bolder than your maid :))
DeleteCurious to know what the "maid of honour" is going to wear? And also how "she" is going to oil and style her amazing hair ;)
Priyamvad again.
ReplyDeleteToday morning I firstly had clean shave and then I washed hair with shampoo and then conditioned them with apple cider vinegar plus water mixture. Then I rinsed conditioner with water again. I wrapped hair in towel and rolled them in a bun on head for drying.
I asked mother to give me her sari, blouse. Mother suggested me to wear salwar kamij of Uma (my elder sister). I was ok with it for a change.
I wore clothes on my own. For draping saree I need a woman's help for sure right now.
My hair still wrapped in towel. After 20 minutes, I removed towel and dried hair with gentle towel strokes.
Then I called Uma for doing my hair as she promised yesterday.
I picked up coconut oil bottle and wide tooth and fine tooth comb. I sat on floor with my open hair covering my back. My hair with bit damp.
Uma poured oil in a cup and started applying on my scalp. Then she evenly applied on head by making portions and finally over length of hair. She applied extra quantity on hair ends.
First she combed hair with wide tooth comb and after detangling, she started combing with fine tooth comb. She brushed all hair backward.
My hair looking sleek and tightly combed. She asked shall I make a single braid?
I requested her to make school braids. She middle parted hair and made 2 sections. She asked mother to give ribbons as school braids need it.
She completed one braid and made a loop and tied again near head with ribbon. And then she finished second loop of braid.
Then she put little make up on my face with bindi, earrings etc.
Today I was in avatar of a school girl. I had spiritual high.
My feminine side is getting balanced.
I was in meditative state for quite some time.
Hi Priyamvad. It sounds like you're having the time of your life. The vivid narration has gotten me excited about your spiritual journey.
DeleteAfter reading this, I too was in the mood to be a schoolgirl. Asked the maid for twin braids and ribbons. She was surprised that I asked her for it.Generally, she does it as a prank.
So, right now, I've got twin folded braids tied with red ribbons. Add a pleated skirt, knee high socks, and mary janes and I am ready for school. LOL!
Hi Neetu, I am so heartened to see your reply. I feel happy so see you sported school girls twin braids. I could inspire you.
DeleteBleaasings
Thanks, Priyamvad..... Or should I say Priya :)
DeleteHi everyone.
ReplyDeleteI just figured out a way to post photos. Priya, Pooja, everyone else... When you're oiling your hair, trying something new or feeling particularly pretty on any given day and want to let us know (perhaps even make us jealous of your awesome beautiful hair), you can upload your photos here: https://goo.gl/photos/QW4nQxGdAyuUHJWJA.
I'll add the link to the main posts as well so that it is a easier to see and use.
Once uploaded, click on the image, copy the URL and post the link along with your comment here. If you're having trouble, let me know. I'll be happy to post it for you.
Happy oiling and stay pretty,
Neetu :)

Wow Ruchi!!! That's so good to hear and I am so happy that you are getting this opportunity to go for your work with oiled hair as it's indoors for a change. I bet you must have looked fabulous in a nice sleek oily pony and side braid. I love side braids as the fragrance of the oil keeps coming to me and plus I like to play with my braid when I am doing nothing.
ReplyDelete60 to 70ml is a lot of oil. Sooooo nice you will feel after a proper champi. I am also going to do that on Friday as I don't work this Saturday. Enjoyyyyy!!!
