Oh, snap! It's the hairband.

I was the kind of kid who wouldn't be able to go anywhere if her shoes felt "loose" or uneven. I'd tighten the loose shoe, then have to tighten the other to match and then back to the first one again, because it felt loose again. I'd come home with grooves on the top of my feet from how tightly I'd tied my laces...and my pinkie fingers were callused from tugging at them.

So I've been having headaches lately and I just realized, while they started out as caffeine-withdrawal, they continued because I was pulling my ponytail/bun so very tight. I don't know how I'm going to fix that problem, because I really can't stand it if it feels like my hair's going to fall out of whatever arrangement I have it in.

I've pretty much given up on my hair. :( I know it'll fall out, no matter what. I just hope for the best!

I found some little mini banana clips that are very rounded (they stick out further than traditional ones) and the teeth are sort of ribbed on the inside, to grip your hair (but not at all in a snaggy way). They make my hair feel more secure than a ponytail band, and my hair is wild, thick, curly stuff that knows combat maneuvers and is Special Forces trained for getting out of standard restraint devices. ;)

... which is why I've given up on long hair (putting it into a ponytail or anything *up* would give me horrible pains in my scalp) and I now have wash and wear hair.
