Oiling My Hair for the First Time

May told me that oiling will keep long hair soft and healthy. Her hair is very long (waist-length) and so is mine. What I hate about my hair is that the tip gets drier and drier, no matter the length. So I usually do some treatment, etc., but it never seems enough.

Anyway, I decided to oil my hair tonight. We'll see how it goes. I'll report the result tomorrow morning after I shampoo my hair.

BTW — I wonder if I should use conditioner after I wash out the oil. My hair tangles very easily. Hmmm.

Update (August 20): I had to shampoo three times. My hair's finally dry. It's very soft and silky. Much more manageable than before. I like. I used sesame oil last night. Will try olive oil next.


Was Liukin Robbed?

I guess some people got really angry that Liukin didn't get the gold medal (uneven bars). China's He did.

Their scores were identical, but the tiebreaker gave the medal to He. So many Americans (not all, of course) are complaining about the decision. But here's the thing.

  1. The tiebreaker wasn't just something that the IOC or FIG just made up on the spot to favor He.
  2. If the tiebreaker had given the gold medal to Liukin, all the complainers from the States would've been like “W00t! Go Liukin!”

Liukin handled the final decision like a true Olympian. Can others do the same?
