You know, it just occurred to me, but rather than getting a full-on haircut, you could have them trim the ends and even things up around your face, and then do something simple like have your hair curled. You've already got some naturally curly hair, but if you had the parts that are more fluffy than curly curled like the rest, it might turn out really cute.

I listened to one or two of the new band's songs. They really don't sound very different. It made me so happy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Urghhh. I'll tell mum when I come back to Australia. I can't just change shampoos so simply because there's a lot of soaps and stuff I can't use because of the smell and having a reaction to it, and a lot of products just make my hair frizz.
It's just been getting worse and worse.

I terribly want my bits at the front to go down to my chin again, but there's no possibly way I have to wait. D:
Haha! I got a sheet and wrote some things down on it and have already gone and get pictures. I'm not just walking in and saying "kite!" and seeing what they come up with. XDDD
I kind of wanting something like this and this.
And I'm combing the top left bit to the right now so the top is a side part, seeing as that's where my hair actually....parts. This middle parting is a lie. /.A.\ So kind of like the first picture is what I'm hoping when it grows out more. But the second picture is more achievable now methinks. >_<
How would curling my hair work? :0 I haven't been to a hairdressers in years I don't know how these guys do their stuff anymore... But, I think if I let my hair dry messier, I can get some curls going by myself. It's when my hair is longer that wringlets and stuff form.

Well, if it was me, I'd wait to get the shampoo first. What's the hairdresser going to think when they wash your hair, and then see blood all over their fingers?
Every hair person I've been to but one has liked digging their nails into my head.

I know you can curl your hair by combing it so when you're drying it, with one of those cylinder-looking brushes. And then there's the curling iron.

They can fix it for meeeee. :D
Nah. I'm sure plenty of people have been seeing thousands of flakes flying from my head. I don't care. I think it should be okay. I just...my hair. I can't. T___T

Oh my god you know stuff about hair. *w*
I don't really want to burn my hair every day so it's curly the way I want it, so I think a curling brush might work.

I mean, it's just in your eyes, right?

I know some, but I don't do it. All I have to do to get my hair curly/wavy is to not brush it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/monster.png)
It gets all too straight when I do, and I don't like. Of course, then my hair just has a lot of knots in it, but it's not like I let people go touching it.

Eh?
I cut my fringe so it's not in my eyes. I want the back styled so that it's curly-like in the pictures I posted?
And I've clipped down the front bits I want to grow out! "kore....to kore.....kitanaide! Kudasaaaai *m*"
If you don't brush it though knots. T_T
When my hair was longer lots of people touched. "EEHEEHEE. WRINGLET. CURLY, STRAIGHT. CURLY, STRAIGHT. LOOK! I CAN PUT MY FINGER THROUGH THE CURL! EEHEEHEE." Like, every day. Here in Japan a school girl touched my hair and was like "fuwafuwa." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
I'm like "eep .m." Girl, "I wish my hair was brown and fluffy" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

You could also use sponge curlers. My mom had some of these when I was kid. You just wrap your damp hair up in these and then let them dry overnight and you get fluffy curls.

I have naturally curly hair, so curling irons and curling products tend to make my hair straighter, or at the very least, more uniform than it looks if I just wash it and brush it.

That second hairstyle picture is really cute. You'd look pretty adorable with it. :D

I was clueless so I looked up a video on how to use them. Coool! :D
I don't shower right before bed though......I don't know. I'll see what it's like if I don't purchase anything, then try these out or see what the hairdresser says if it's not curling how I want.

Thanks guys. I don't know anything about hair. .n.

I took a very long walk today and passed by about fifteen different hair salons. /.A.\
I ended up at a hyaku yen store something like half an hour away from the apartment and bought a cylindrical brush. I also got this other cylindrical brush called a shampoo brush? I don't know, I just kind of bought it seeing as it was a dollar. .-.
Finally, I built up the courage to enter a foreign hair dressers. I kind of just stood there like "ummmmmmmhahahaI'mgaijinD:" One of the guys, maybe the boss, recognised me from last time I entered with Akiko to get my host mother's keys, and he was like, "Oh! You! Australian gaijin! Sit down. :D" I went to the same salon that Keiko was in eventually, and I'm glad I did. They were so nice. Gently putting the towel on me, a pillow for your arms while they cut your hair. Eeehee. They shampooed- AH YESS. As I scratch my hair now no dandruff is coming out they fixed it. >:D Now I have to keep it fixed. D:
As she washed my hair she was like "Atsukunai?", but I was still bewildered to the fact that she put a towel on my face and often on the spot negative questions confuse me.
"Isn't it hot? It isn't hot? It's not hot." Or sometimes they suggest you should do something T__T
"OHMYGODWHICHAREYOUSAYING;A;" She said it to or three times and I just ended up putting my thumb up like, "The temp is good man."

Anyway, after having my hair washed, blowdried (which made my hair super straight x o x;) and combed and cut, THIS IS THE RESULT.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/Untitled_zps9450de50.png)
At the end he was like "is this good?" I was expecting more layers, and I had the chance to say, but seeing as my hair's really thin, I went with how he thought what looked complete. When I got home it didn't feel too different, but looking at the old picture OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU ASIAN HAIR CUTTERER MARRY ME AND I'LL TAKE YOU TO AUSTRALIA KAYKAYS?

After he finished it, he put wax in my hair for a messier look. Should I purchase some hair wax?

A shampoo brush is used to scrub the scalp when you bathe.
hair wax is like gel, but tackier, if you like shaping without the hardness.

That haircut was definitely a good move. It's really damn cute. I've never seen/used hair wax, but if you really like the messy look and want to keep it like that while you're out, go for it.

Haha, I might give the shampoo brush to my boyfriend, with all of his curls and all.

I don't want the hardness since it's the back of my hair, I want it fluffier, so good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
And right now because I slept, my hair bent so I have it swishing to all one side, and it works for once because my hair's cut for messy, yaaay! I guess I'll go out and purchase some hair wax then. I have to ask my host grandmother where to get some. If it's in a cosmetics store I probably can't enter it because of all the smells. I think I should also get one of those wide toothed combs.

Oh my god, I finally found out who Kyari Pamuyu Pamuyu is. /.A.\
She was just on a commercial! I've had a few people ask me, and then I didn't know how to say "I've heard of her," in Japanese so we dropped it. They played some of her songs at karaoke. I think I like her. .o.

Today my host grandmother's son's family is going to be coming over, and tomorrow is New Years! :)

One of my walks.

Heyhey, let's make relax time guys. :)

It just doesn't work.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00601_zpsdbe078aa.jpg)
I don't know what some things are. Honestly, I've picked up some things, flicked the the tags to see nothing I can read, observe it, then put it back down because I can't figure it out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00600_zps7f95f521.jpg)
However, this is actually a rug! I think I want to go out and buy it now considering how much money I still have. And I like sheep.
Aww, I don't have enough hands-on cash. I have to borrow more off host grandmother and pay her back when services come available. ;~;

Outside the window at night.

There's less of it here but it's still around.

Another view I passed by one my hour walk. The sun starting to go down at around five or four, it was.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00609_zps0eefcd81.jpg)

Aww, so close.
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00611_zpsd0cb58e8.jpg)
This isn't where I got my haircut though. Just one of the many other hair salons around. Seriously, there's so many. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Did a puzzle. :D

You pour glue over the top and frame it.

Fukuoka Tower. It's 108 floors, I think.

We went to Marinoa afterwards, the same store I went to ages ago with all the outlet shops. I love it here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
But I got my card working afterwards, so I didn't go shopping. My host grandmother realised I liked puzzles (I did that one until I finished it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) ) and purchased one for me as a present. owo I picked a Kiki's Delivery Service one with the seaside town on it. I wanted this Mononoke Hime one, it was a forest scene, but 1000 pieces expensive and too big to bring back. 500 pieces frame is big enough. >_< Got to purchase that extra bag soon.

Puzzle shop.
They play music box version of Ghibli songs. <3

My mum likes Tweety Bird. Tweety Bird is nowhere in Japan. I don't understand, they love their Disney. Why not Tweety. I was gonna get a puzzle. T___T
And I can only think of presents for mum. I'm lost for my dad and boyfriend. My brother isn't too hard, I have to get something with Mickey Mouse.

Most restaurants have the plastic displays of food. :F

The other game store.

(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00655_zpsdd15c9a5.jpg)
OLD GAMES!!!!!! And not just crappy ones no one wants. Animal Crossing, Final Fantasy, Donkey Kong, Ice Climbers, Luigi's Mansion, Tales of, Minish Cap, Mario Kart, Excite Bikes, Pokemon,F-Zero, Mother 3. <333 What I picked up ended up being $100 so I only ended up getting Mother 3 and Ice Climbers. >_<
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00654_zps68f7337d.jpg)
I don't have many Gameboy Advance games (Actually, only Pokemon from memory, and that lives in my DS slot (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) ). Should I go back and get something? :0

PSP sections also always take up a full wall. There's so many unlike back at home. I don't know what type of ones would be appropriate though. I looked for Kanon, but haven't found it. I also don't know how to tell between the h version and not. Don't want. >>

Love our Rune Factory and Harvest Moon isn't hidden in some corner here, also. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
(IMG:http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q731/Vether/CAM00658_zpsf4ed1053.jpg)
So many screens showing games. And people always come up and play the games on demo for ages.

Spice Orange 'cube for twelve bucks? Would buy.

Kitty's eye looks sick... why do so many Japanese animals look sick? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalasad.gif)

Except it's region locked. :<
I miss my purple Gamecube. I loved it.
They were selling PSPs for $9, too.

It just looked sleepy to me, actually! I think it's okay. X)
It was staring out the shop front about to go to sleep.

Yeah. I can only think of two JP-only games that would be worth getting it for off the top of my head too...

Hopefully the kitty's alright. It's still a cute thing, but that look of wear around the eyes is very worrying... could be a weird fur pattern I guess. Picture's a little un-detailed to see for sure.

Eehee. My host grandmother's son's daughter's are watching me write on the forum. X)

I threw out more old sketchbooks.
So long ago.

Also I gotta know... is that glitter on the goddess? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Here, full scan and all (Don't wanna fix up, sorry, go nuts). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)
You can see every detail for better or worse.

Haha, no. I have these pens called Paintytwins. One side's black, the other white. I also have a gold/silver pair. It says oil based paint - I think the white side's stuffed up though, I need to get another. I use gel pens, too now, but the white on those tend to fade into the paper, while an actual paintbrush is harder to be accurate/not blochy with.
