insufficiently thermal

[sigerson]

I walked to school this morning and discovered halfway there that my braid had frozen stiff, in a lovely brittle s-curve. I was convinced it would snap off before I arrived.

If I develop very short hair over this winter, you'll know what happened.

Maybe it's time to start showering at night. Or using a hairdryer. Or making myself an electric hat. And electric socks while I'm at it.

Or perhaps I should ask my twin if she'll lend me Rufus Sewell and hot buttered rum.

Ahh, I remember the days in Montana, when any hair I hadn't safely secured under the hat would freeze by the time I reached the bus stop. I never had any snap off, though.

I would recommend making sure you can tuck the hair in. If you can't tuck it down the back of your coat, I love the big scarf wrap-around solution too. You may look like a Babushka, but it is warm.

Today, my braid was unsecured. It's heartening to hear that you didn't have the snap-off problem!
