Hey ho all! If any one still visiting this blog then apologies for not updating sooner. I could come up with a hundred reasons why i havnt got around updating this thing since last year but simple matter fact is i was perhaps too lazy, and lacked inspiration and motivation to continue with this ludicrous money making scheme. (However if you really want to donate your £'s then im not stopping you!)
A lots changed since last year, i am now employed again! sadly its for another supermarket but after 4 months of rejection and a very bleak job opportunity's else where for a inexperienced 19 year old i had no choice but to get my lazy arse back to stacking shelves, on the plus side its better money then my previous job (wouldnt do that crap again for any less dammit)and i have also decided to take the plunge back into education in September to further my 'art career' (ha.) so all is going swimmingly.
Perhaps ill get back to blogging soon, but dont hold your breath.

Week 7 - Wax and the BBC. Balance £16.50
Well its almost 12pm as i began writing this (and no doubt it will be Tuesday by the time i finish) so apologies all for the late update, Iv been walking around all day thinking to my self theres something i need to do but could for life of me think what. Then of course i realized it was Monday and i have an online money making scheme in action.
Now on my 7th week into this experiment to see if i can appeal to the generosity of a million strangers to donate me there spare change and iv reach the grand sum of £16.50, after receiving donations from two close friends (after locking them in a small room and threating them with bee's.) and £1 in ad revenue this last week.
(Old buddy's donating me their pounds!)
If my calculations are correct , which they often aren't, at this current rate ill be a millionaire in 8196.72 years. This statistic is somewhat disheartening but i am not giving up on the ludicrous plot just yet, so come on people, get donating your spare change and make internet history!
Mr.Murphy's occasional* product review!
*Occasional. as in when ever I'm bored.
Being an unemployed, generally pretty skint and a teen in his last year before becoming a young 20 something, means i don't have the funds or the means to do any thing particularly interesting and worth while with my wasted youth.
That means to fill in otherwise boring blog posts i have decided to write reviews on any thing i can lay my hands on around the house, mainly for my own entertainment but also perhaps for yours too.
This week i shall be reviewing Dax wave and groom, A.k.A. Dax Wax.
(As seen from the top of my toilet roll)
Dax is a hair styling wax, or more precisely a promade, I have been using for last few years to style my numerous hair styles and most recently my Mohawk. The Dax company proudly promotes its self as "Real Multi-Cultural Hair care" as seen on the website, Thanks Dax I wasnt aware other wax's weren't multi-cultrual, just in case i had any doubts about my hair styling products being racist i can now rest assured that the wax that holds my mo' in place is not prejudiced against my fellow hair styling enthusiasts no matter what ethnic background they may come from.
Dax Wave and groom, which from now on I will be referring to as just 'Dax' for simplicity sake is a very thick oily greasy wax like substance with a sweet coconuty smell that comes in a great value large tub that lasts for months. I find it ideal for styling and sticking up thick unruly hair like my own without my hair loosing its hold or flopping down later on which are usually problems for me with other gels and wax that are less thick, but for people with shorter and less thick hair perhaps other less thick gels and wax's are more suitable.
(Its greasy, thick, and all over my fingers.)
Best tip from me is to apply it straight after a shower, towel drying your hair and whiles its still damp, also use small amounts for best stuck up effect as too much will weigh your hair down and make it curl downwards and flatten.
(I find Dax is one of only a few products that keeps my hair standing up right)
(After all the shameless stereotypical myspace like posing shots my digital camera decided it rather commit electronic suicide (elctrocide?) then be used by me)
However! Once Dax is applied to your hair be prepared to have it stuck to your hands for a few hours and scalp for at least the next 5 days like some sort of hair herpes. The advantage of this is sometimes you'll wake up with your hair already done or need to use very little dax next time you do your hair! Showering and normal shampoo does very little to shift the thick oily substance from your hair, but being a former Art student this does not bother me personally but you more hygienic chaps, it may. If you really must shift Dax out of your hair theres Dax Shampoo available, for me this was just as useless as normal shampoo and did very little to wash it out of my hair. My best tip for removing Dax is to use sun flour oil, or any other sort of cooking oil, it will remove the Dax straight away, but leave you smelling of a chip pan if not followed up with normal shampoo. Also be careful not to spill oil in the shower as the combination of very slippery oil and water can lead to serious injury's as i unfortunately found out one fateful afternoon.
Also its interesting to note that Dax is made from Petrolatum and mineral oil, which i both believe are flammable meaning iv been potentially rubbing Coconut scented Napalm on my head for all these years and not even realized it.
So on closing Dax is ideal for any one that has thick heavy hair that refuses to style and stick up with normal gels, and also don't mind either there hair feeling greasy and clogged together for weeks at a time, or using there cooking oil for washing their hair in the mornings as well as a fry up.
I give Dax Wave and Groom 8 pounds out of 10, does a great job at styling and keeping hair styled all day. Sadly its a little hard to get out, however with the frustration i use to experience with other products, i can live with it.
