Wash Your Hair Like This - It's So Wrong, It's Right

The Craziest Beauty Secret You've Ever Haird

Wash Your Hair Like This - It's So Wrong, It's Right

Hair
I’m not a beauty blogger (if you could see what I’m wearing right now you’d laugh your printed leggings off). So why is Party Mummy writing about hair? Good hair can pretty much guarantee a good time. Bad hair and you’ll skulk around your next party looking for a lampshade to pop on your head.
 
So I'm here to share a pretty cool hair trick. Some might suggest I’m only trying to curl your hair with such a controversial topic. Others might call me a hair-etic. You might even argue that hair is hair, so who gives a care? 
 
 
Valid points, but some days my fine (as in limp, not as in “Oooooh, gurl! Your hair is fine!”) looks like this:
 
 
But it seems some other limp-haired sister has figured out the secret. We’ve been washing our hair all wrong!
 
At first this news was merely hair-say. Aa friend told me that a lady in her book club claims we’ve been washing our hair backwards. She hadn’t yet tested the claim, but she’s got Brooke Sheilds’ hair, so why would she even bother?
 
I was skeptical. Condition first, then shampoo? It sounds absurd. However, for the sake of looking less like a greasy porcupine and more like Jennifer Aniston, I tried it for two weeks and what a difference. I went from flat to flat out fluffy and fabulous! 
 
 
What To Do:
 
1. Work a small amount of conditioner through your hair. Concentrate on the ends and any dry or achy-breaky sections. 
2. Leave on for a few minutes while you shave, loofah, sing a chorus of anything from Hair, the musical of your choice, or 80s hair bands.
3. Rinse. 
4. Work shampoo into a lather in your hands and then scrub/massage your scalp with your fingertips. 
5. Briefly work suds through the rest of your hair, and rinse. 
6. Rinse once more with cold water (as cold as you can stand) to close hair cuticles. 
7. Dry and style as usual. 
8. Apply a small amount of hair oil—like argan or moroccan oil to hair ends. 
 
What Will It Do For Your DO?
 
The ends of your hair will be conditioned, without weighing down the rest of your hair. The body and bounce makes this flat head’s mouth sing "Hello, party hair!"
 
Final Hair Tips:
 
 Rinse out the conditioner well from the roots and shampoo right down to the wood. Otherwise, you’ll look greasy. 
 Every third wash or so, do it the “old” way—shampoo first, condition second.
 Do a deep conditioning treatment twice a month to really nourish and moisturize your locks.

Heads Up: Hot Male Fashion Trend Seems Ballsy

Gives New Meaning To The Phrase "Fashion Tips"

Heads Up: Hot Male Fashion Trend Seems Ballsy

I'm not a fashion blogger, but I know funny. And this fashion show - or at least the reaction it's getting - is hilarious. So.Many.Penis.Puns.Head.May.Explode.

Though not everyone agrees. If fact, there are a lot of people who have their knickers in a knot of over it. 

What has this tweeter so testi? Los Angeles designer Rick Owens, who spawned the hashtag #DickOwens after debuting his ballsy collection during Men's Fashion week in Paris, had many shaking their heads.

Those with a passion for fashion seated close to the catwalk got an eye-full. However, according to audience members, it wasn't exactly a night out at the Fox's Den. Yes, there was penis, but sightings were elusive. You might see something, you might not depending on rate of swing, fabric rigidity and viewing angle in relation to the pant peephole.

The drapey designs favoured by celebs including Orlando Bloom, Usher, Kanye West, Jude Law and Jared Leto have been re-imagined, leaving a little less to the imagination. A few of the tunic style cloaks have strategically placed cutouts designed to provide a subtle view of Mother Nature's bounty—think twigs and berries.

Having your man goods swinging freely beside those bladey looking embellishments takes balls. Kudos to you, brave underpantless fashion warriors. We should also give this model props. Look at this posture—perfectly poised and fully erect. 

What did Rick Owens himself have to say about his eyebrow raising collection? Owens was quoted as saying, “Nudity is the most simple and primal gesture – it packs a punch. It’s powerful. It’s a straight world now. It says something about being independent. Who else can really get away with this stuff? It’s a corporate world! This was our private moment."

Yes, it was a private privates moment for about 90 seconds until the internet got wind of it. 

Whether a stroke of fashion forward genius or a cocky publicity stunt, Owens has us standing at attention. Good for you Rick. Women have been showing nip on the runway for some time, so how is this such a big deal? It's not like Bill from the office is going to show up for your morning briefing without briefs. And little Stevie certainly won't be wearing crotchless sweatpants in gym class any time soon. 

So I say, settle down peeps. It's just a bit of peen.

Were there jokes made about this 'length of this post', what to use for the 'header' image and 'getting it up' on time? Maybe. 

If you like phallic humour, here are two posts that might tickle your funny, ahem, bone. How To Fold A Napkin Into A Penis and Host A Vasectomy Party. I thought I'd put these together in a "nice package" for you.

Accidentally Sharing X-Rated Selfies

BEWARE: It's Easy To Do

Accidentally Sharing X-Rated Selfies

*This post is probably NSFW. Unless you work at home like I do, then carry on. You've been warned.*

Ever accidentally "reply all" to an email in a ridiculously inappropriate way? Me neither.

This Post Is Also NSFW But These Penis Cartoons a Husband Drew His Wife Are Hilarious

How about accidentally inviting your entire email contact list to friend you on LinkedIn? No? Same here. Never did that. Except when I did. Feel free to gawk at my LinkedIn Shame HERE

I've also heard of people outing their lurky-ness by inadvertently "liking" a Facebook post. Some people have even been caught with their pants down by blurting out a filthy comment on Twitter thinking they were sending a DM. That happens often. Or so I've heard. 

As horrific as those mis-shares are, nothing compares to the face-burning shame of posting your nudie bits online. Unless you're a porn-star wannabe, this is not a smart career move. 

Scenic pictures of snow-capped mountains and sandy beaches are fine to share with friends. But if you're sharing an iPhoto slide show, be darn sure you've deleted the topless pic you sexted to your husband on his last business trip. Nice rack by the way. We were all amply impressed. 

I admit to laughing right along with everyone at that digitally induced wardrobe malfunction. But I wasn't laughing when it nearly happened to me...

Without getting too TMI, let's just say that when one has been on antibiotics, certain "lady issues" can arise. On that note, here's the link to a yummy challa-style bread recipe. You'll need 5 tsp of active yeast. 

I'm not one to panic and think the worst, like I have some deadly infection and my days are numbered. Actually, yes; yes I am. To calm my nerves, I attempted to investigate, but my hand-mirror was too small. I'm not saying that my undercarriage is abnormally large. My mirror is just really, really tiny. 

Ladyscaping For Labour or How It's A Jungle Down There

So to get a better look I snapped a quick pic with my iPhone, looked, and then promptly deleted. How could THAT go wrong? No, I didn't snapchat my nethers anywhere. Oh god, at least I don't think I did?! The photo was definitely deleted FOREVERRRRR. How's that for foreshadowing?

Three days later a Facebook friend asked me to post a photo of my new ergonomic stand-up desk situation. Happy to oblige, I opened up iPhoto and sceamed! There staring me right in the face was this photo.

And right below this shot of my brother in law's Movember stache, was my delicate flower photo. The one I had most certainly deleted. 

Curse you iCloud! I have always feared the enigma that is iCloud and for good reason. Fortunately for me and for anyone I know on Facebook, I didn't accidentally upload it to my page. Instead I frantically deleted it from iCloud. After checking and re-checking I was convinced it was gone...foreverrrrrrrrr. 

When I opened the family iPad later that night and saw the photo had resurfaced yet again, I freaked. I can't find the photo of my son's basketball game I've been looking for for weeks, but this photo won't go away?! Deleted once more, I emptied my trash, cleared my cache, and broke out in a rash.

So now the offending photo gone forever for real. I think. Oh god, I'm going to go check again. iCloud iHate you.
