shortnun Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 [quote name='Pia' post='1161656' date='Jan 11 2007, 03:23 PM'] Hi there. Here's a little more of my "hair experience" at the convent last week. 1. A braid works well. 2. A wet braid is not acceptable because the sisters think you'll get a cold. 3. Since a wet head isn't allowed it's best to plan hair washing at a time when the blow dryer won't sound like an alarm all over the convent. 4. And it is possible to get it done in three minutes without a mirror. Think how much easier under a veil. [/quote] How come you can't have wet hair? I come to work every day with wet hair b/c I don't own a blow dryer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sisters I visited were quite keen on that, too, bless them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 There were no rules against wet hair under the veil at OLAM... I always had a wet braid because I would braid it after I showered and it simply didn't dry. It would still be damp by the next time I took it down to wash it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscerningSoul Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 At Lockport we took our shower at night and they wear a night cap. Of course with long hair it takes forever to dry without a hairdyer but It didn't look to bad in the morning but my night cap kept falling off. Now that my hair is short it does dry faster even without help of a hair dryer.

I wondered if it could start to mold all wraped up like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThyHolyLove Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 just to add to all this convent hair talk.....when I was at the Apostles of the Sacred Heart, I showered at night because I didn't want to wake up earlier. I borrowed a hairdryer from on the of the novices and I dryed my hair in the basement so no one would hear me! on an unrelated note, my mom recently said that she wants a lock of my hair before I enter. I just thought that was really sweet of her to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would give my mom one when I enter, but she already has like 10 from my 1-110th haircuts, can you tell I am a first born? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeniteAdoremus Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Oh, no, no, no! While I do not like a lot of "modern times"... "normal" veils are certainly a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it saved many souls having to wear that outfit and I would be the 1st in line also.
