Recently I placed an order from Discount Dance Supply and found myself in that contradictory position of needing order more products to move my order total into the next shipping bracket in order to spend less money overall.  So to fill out the order, I decided what the heck and ordered a Hairagami set.  And OMG, the thing actually works!!!  I'm sporting a perfect round bun that hasn't budged since I put it in at 7am this morning.  No pins, sticks or nothing.  A whole new world of hair styling is opening up to me.  My hair is longer than my arm's reach so it will be challenging figuring out exactly how to get all my hair up (right now it's just half up), but maybe I can stand in a backbend to reach the end of my hair more easily and evenly.  I bet I could totally achieve Princess Leia cinnabuns with these...  And actually they might be useful for putting in hair extensions, too.

They are rather dangerous though--there was a warning in the instruction booklet about how hard they snap when they curl up and to avoid your eyes and face, and the manufacturer wasn't kidding.  I took a good enough whack on my knuckle last night that it's bruised today.

Instead of dancing last night I did about 75 minutes of yoga.  I was wretchedly tight in the hamstrings but oh do I feel good today.  Balance, that's the ticket.

Awesome video--I liked the song when I heard it on your mix cd, but I think I like the video even better :)

I tried a hairagami . . . my hair is just too big for it! :) RE the Leia hair - its so long (covers her ears even) that you'd need to put some extensions in, so with all of that hair I'm not sure how the hairagami would work. If you seriously want to rock the buns, this is a good site with tips (Brian usually rolls mine for me): http://padawansguide.com/leia_anh_makingof.shtml

Yes, this is important stuff that needs room in my brain! ;)

i have a set if you want it. i grew my hair out to donate and now hve about 3 inches of hair, so it is useless to me.

if you don't, note to badriyaz, point anyone who says "omg want!" in my direction, since i bought one, never used it, though it is out of the box. and as you have seen, is utterly useless to me now

I wish I knew it was that easy before I got that gym membership.

I really wish I could erase images of that sort of buns and hairagamis from my mind...
