I made my own hair gel!

-

One fine morning at approximately 2AM, I was watching a video on YouTube. The woman said she had found a hair care routine from the Edwardian era, or age of the Gibson Girls. The solution was pretty easy to make. Mix one egg with salt water and drip some essential oil into it.

The solution itself had more measurements and the essential oil was a modern substitute for something the YouTuber didn't have, which meant I definitely didn't have it. So I figured I'd just use the salt water and the egg.

I didn't use proper measurements, either. I think I was supposed to use a pint of salt water, instead I just used a regular cup full.

The YouTuber implied the wash was used for actual shampoo, and it was done once a month. So I substituted the wash for shampoo, too. My hair loves to get greasy on the top of my head and around my temples and forehead. I was a nice grease bomb when I tried this.

I washed my hair in the guck and rubbed it into my scalp and then rinsed it out.

The only two instructions this smart cookie followed was to rinse my hair with cold water and let it air dry. With regular shampoo, my hair air dries at the speed of light. When I used this formula, it took all night to dry. I  had to wait until daylight to see the results.

First off, my hair felt like it had been doused with the hose outside. Each curl was well defined, but left a film on my hands. Instead of black, my hair actually looked brown. My hair wasn't ultra shiny, but it still had a gloss to it. I could shape my hair any which way I wanted and literally not a single strand was out of place, just like in the old pictures. Also, the grease on my head was gone, and yet all my hair was greasy without that gross look to it.

So there you have it, I made my own hair gel, the one you wash out after use and it keeps on working until you take Herbal Essence to it in a fit.

    That's interesting. My dad said he used to rub egg-n-water wash on show animals to make their fur glossy. (He was a farmer's child last century.) I guess it works!

      LOL, the animals can keep it, although, even though I washed out the egg already, my hair is still keeping its shape. But it's still brown. :)

Why I left Twitter. Now I'm free!

Twitter. Yuck. Bleah. The place has become a toxic mire. In 2012, I joined Twitter, because I was told it was a good place to promote myself. I gained over 10,000 followers and was heading for 11,000. The rules when I signed up said, "Always be kind and courteous." So I was. In the last few years, there have been droves of people being absolute trolls, jerks, and taking offense at every tiny thing, to the point that everyone had to mince their words. Twitter didn't kick these scumbags off. I began to realize that after every session on Twitter, I came off upset and frustrated. There is a writing community there who lauds itself as extremely supportive. It's filled with self-proclaimed authors who laugh at procrastinating their writing. They have memes stating, "If you're a writer, you're on Twitter right now and thinking you should be writing." Another one was, "If you SAY you're a writer, then you're a writer."

One Star Reviews Usually Reflect The Reader

-

One star reviews suck, but they reflect the reader more than anything else. One I got from a woman who said she would post her review on Amazon if she gave it a three or higher. She also promised to buy the book, too, after she picked out the books she wanted to read. She picked mine, but a few months later, she asked if I could send it to her for free. I should have listened to the red flag that went up, but I didn't. The woman was already untrustworthy. I sent her a PDF file. She went onto her YouTube and complained about my book in the most condescending way. After I got over the stings enough to think clearly, I began to realize she complained about things that weren't true. She said there weren't enough explanations for this or that. Guess what, those things had ample explanations. I realized she didn't even read the book, but skimmed over it. Some of what she said were outright lies. Luckily her YouTube views could be counted on one hand. The other review was most

Working with KDP vs Author Central on salvaging reviews

-
Image
All right, so yesterday, I had contacted both KDP Customer Support and Author Central about salvaging book reviews. Author Central answered me first and said I could save my reviews even with a different author name and different cover with a different title. I spoke to Author Central twice before KDP even answered me. I sent the old and new ISBN numbers to Author Central. My old reviews from "Pariahs" were saved and are now on "Nri Kryne's" sales page. All this was done before KDP answered me back with a "you can't save your reviews because they're different products even if the content is the same." If you want to salvage your reviews, DO NOT go through KDP Customer Support. Work with Author Central. If you really want anything done, go through Author Central. They're the ones who put my book on more categories than the two you have to pick on publishing your book.
