  2. Thanks for running a competition!

    At the risk of sounding incompetent, how do you comment on an etsy store? I've been poking around Grahtoe's shop (like I do every day, insert embarrassed smilie here) but I haven't seen a place/way to comment on there. I guess my etsy experience is pretty simple, I just buy stuff.

    I did end up adding something to my favorites, which was a first for me. I added the shop in general and an awesome ebony hairtana with black and red wrapping *drool*.

  4. Ooh what a great giveaway! Moona and scrubs and Grahtoe, oh my! ;D

    I love your blog--it's a great combination of hair & reviews & little random (but fascinating) bits that make it interesting to read. I also enjoy seeing all your various hairstyles, even though I know I'd never be able to recreate them.

  5. Oh, and my fave item is the same as Maryam's: that hairtana sword, which is really badass. It reminds me of the Bride's sword from Kill Bill!

    I also really like their Acacia Wood bowl. I can see myself using it on my altar, and the grain of the wood is gorgeous.

    (BTW, I don't use Twitter, but I would be happy to get the word out about your giveaway on some of my other forums! Let me know if that's ok.)

  7. About this blog- I love the frank descriptions of styles and products, of what works for you, what doesn't and why, complete with pictures. The pictures and video fill the gaps that are often left on review sites and tutorials.

    Especially with tutorials, I find that some talk through what to do and don't actually show you the back of their head and their hands so you can *see* how to do it, and others just show you but don't talk along saying what they're doing and giving tips. Your tutorials stand out for their detail. There's also the perk of an occasional adorable baby picture :)

    Seriously, though, your tutorials were the first I watched on particular hairstyles. I always just did my thing with my hair without looking at real or "official" styles, until I stumbled over here from Green and watched a few tutorials. After that, I checked out tons of other tutorials on youtube, but I didn't see many I really click with because most of them didn't talk through styles while showing them like yours do. I guess I inadvertently set the bar pretty high.

    I also like that it's not just hair. It's always nice to pop onto your favorite hair blog and find an awesome soup recipe, see some nature photography or learn more about wood.

  8. Not sure if my comment asking how to comment earlier would count, so here's an official comment on Grahtoe :)

    My favorites in the shop right now are the ebony hairtana that I mentioned earlier and the lignum vitae leaf hair sticks. Here's why:

    The hairtana- I've wanted a hairtana since I first realized they existed, when I'd seen an action shot of a Grahtoe hairtana on LHC. It was absolutely gorgeous, and it set me on a search for others. The wood combinations and wrapping color combinations I found (looking at past ones Grahtoe made) are amazing.

    LV leaf hairsticks- I love trees, and loving leaves comes with the territory! The shape of these hairsticks looks awesome. I've never used a hair stick with a curve like that. The graining of the wood is so beautiful on a computer screen I can only imagine how they look in person.

  9. I just found you blog through Gratoe's facebook page. It's really great! I love your tutorials, and your hair is gorgeous.

    Right now, I'm loving Gratoe's Inlaid Mermaid Tail in Gabon Ebony (although I'm not sure if I like the silver inlaid one they currently have up or the 'black hills gold' style one in the sold items more.

    I also like the purple heart wood micro-minis. I have two in curly maple, and their ability to control my wonky layer and to hold up my waist length hair through a long and active workday is impressive.

  18. Well... What I like about your blog varies and is generally all inclusive. I'd have to say, though, that my favorite parts are your photography and the pictures of the buns you make. I've always loved your hair, and you're just so creative with the buns! My hair is totally curly, so I can't do most of the buns you can, but I still adore them. And, you have a really good eye for capturing pictures, so I like being able to look at them.

  19. Eeek! I am having a really hard time deciding which hair fork I like the best! My favorites are torn between the Hair Swords, which I've been eying for months, and a new 5 prong hair fork that I just saw today. The 5 prong has won out, though. It's the 5 Prong Birdseye Maple Wood with Steampunk works hair fork. I think I like it the most right now because it's big, and looks like it could handle being put into my hair. Also, I really like big pieces, and I know this one would get noticed. Although those hair swords are on my list of things to buy in the near future, the Maple Wood fork is definitely on the top of my list right now. :)

  26. I am saving for a fork from Grahtoe--bird's eye maple! I have dark hair, so the light color would be a great contrast. Their work is amazing.
