This has to do with hair, of course.
So, this is how I fix my perpetual troubles with putting my messed-up hair in order: I go to the bathroom, moisture it with water, wait for some 5 minutes and then comb it gently with my wide-toothed comb. I happened to comb it dry, immediately, a few times. In any case, I never let it undone and shaggy, in fact, I even first fix my hair and only later wash my face and brush my teeth.
But what's that you, guys, do in such occasion? Is there any better way than mine?
No, I wasn't ostentatious :)
Well, most of my mornings revolve around running out of the house at full speed so as not to be late to school. So if I comb my hair, it's usually while running to the tram...I know, not the best idea :P
I finger comb my hair to detangle, then put it back in a loose ponytail while I go about my "business". Once dressed, shaved, etc, I'll brush it out and pull it back into a neat segmented tail for the office.

I leave my hair like it is while reading the paper, but use a tie when I use the treadmill, work out with weights, then hit the shower. I have used almost every product recommended here, and this week feel like I have hit on a winner with none other than "Mane 'n Tail". I use the shampoo, then conditioner, leave in for a little bit, then rinse. When I get out of the shower, I towel off the bod, and then wrap up my mop with an old absorbent towel for a few minutes. Brush teeth and the lot. Then, remove the towel from my mop, and with all the hair forward, put in a little more Mane 'n Tail conditioner, mostly on the ends. This does a great job keeping everything untangled!!!
Then, with this new cool brush made by Bass, which has wooden bristles, just comb out the ends first, and in moments, the hair closest to the scalp is ready to be brushed too. Everything gets brushed backwards mostly, and I just leave it to dry the rest of the way on its own. I get dressed, and out I go to work. It takes about 2 hours or so, and it stays put pretty well now. It is below my shoulders, curly on the ends, and I dig it that way now. (ok, I hated it at first, but now, I think it looks cool with a beard). My last favorite shampoo and conditioner was Pureology, which is great, but not as great as my new find, in my opinion. (Pureology is the pricey stuff, at $40 per bottle US). That's my routine, more than you wanted to know, but there you have it. Update pictures someday soon.

I grab a brush, wait for anyone to go by my room (My bed head looks awful, so I tend to get up whenever no one is looking), then I put my clothes on. Then I put gel in my hair, put it down on it good especially in the back of my head. Then I put it up, and put just a tiny bit of Got 2B gel on the baby hairs on the back of my neck so they hold as well. Then I brush my teeth, and go =)
Avoid Mirrors !!
If I don't wash it, I spend about 20 seconds brushing it before and after showering and go.
If it's a hair-washing work day...
1. Wash it and condition.
2. Towel dry (don't forget to bring a towel!).
3. **If it's cold out** Blow dry a little on low.
4. Gently brush it straight.
5. Use Frizz-Ease.
6. Style it.
A lot of what I do goes against MLHH wisdom, but I'm stubborn, and this works for me...besides, some of these guys are major hippies and probably don't even have electricity! :P
Nikola, Coffee! First and foremost!

Smoke a fatty. Then get to livin life.
First, I usually check my email. Then I'll use the restroom. My hair routine usually consists of brushing out the tangles, nothing more. I start from the top with a wide-toothed comb and brush until the comb snags, and work my way around my head. This usually means a 4-7" layer of hair from the crown down will be tangle free. Then from the sides I work out the tangles. I start on one side and work my way down until it is tangle free and then slow work my way to the other side.
I've found this method results in the least pulled hairs. I don't use any specials sprays or gels, I just it as it is naturally. If my hair wants to be frizzy, then it gets to stay that way. Au Naturale I suppose :)

The very first thing I do: check my e-mail, MSN and Runescape News (I'm kind of addicted to that game)
I take a quick bath not washing my hair (as I did on the evening), I detangle it with a comb use a bit of gel to control frizzy hair on the top of the head, make a neat ponytail for work and add some Silicone for Hair at the ends.
That's pretty much it.
I brushmy hair with a hairbrush and then tie it back to a ponytail...
Wake up, brush my mane out for a good 5 minutes, put some de-frizzing cream in it (Garnier smooth silk or something like that), and then brush it some more and I'm out.
Read the book: "The Secret" and you will see that being grateful or thankful is a good way to start your day.
Okay, I usually have a horrible dream that wakes me up. This morning I dreamt I was
killing a bug but it was someone hammering in another room.
Next I lift my head from the pillow and freak out at the thought of all the things I have to do in ine day!!!
Then I stand in my slippers and descent the stairs in search of coffee.
Then I grab my hair and remake my tail which is a mess after a night's 'sleep.'
While drinking my coffee I often reflect on themeaning of Life which usually
does me no good.
Turn on my cell phone, my computer, open the blinds, dream of spring,
look outside at the birds and squirrels and then I freak out again at all the things I have to do in one day.
Ok I brush it for a good few minutes to detangle, if very fine add some gel, part it, and put it in two low tails. Some call it bunches - the hair stays there all day and I tend to keep the braids to the front, over my sholders. I think it looks cool, good for office work and in quiet times gives me something to fiddle with.
