I buy my hair dying products from a local beautician. She used to do my hair, before finances got so tight, and sells me the same project she used on my hair. I bought the little brush and disposable gloves and use my own bowl, tablespoon for measuring and old towels for floor and shoulders. If you have watched a beautician do your hair or someone else's hair, you just imitate them. Paint it on a part, pick up a small amount of hair with pointed end of dye brush, paint the next part (on both sides), pick up more and on and on. I do the top from my natural part down my right side and then down my left side first. I then do down the center back and then down the left and right side backs. I am covering gray so don't have to work it through every time - just about every third time. When I need to work it through all of my hair I mix up a larger batch of product and add it to all of my hair for the last 15 minutes or so (this varies with the product).
This recipe is from my mother and it is foolproof (almost). I had never even attempted to make a pie until my mother-in-law died and there was no one to make apple pies for my husband. This turned out perfect the first time: 2 cups flour, 2/3 cups Crisco, 1/3 cup water and a pinch of salt. Mix the flour and Crisco together well with a fork. Add the pinch of salt, stir, add the water and stir until most of the dough sticks together. Complete the mixing by picking it all up in your hands and work it into a ball. Cut the ball in half, place 1/2 back in bowl and roll the other half out on a floured cutting board or counter. Place in pan, repeat with second half to cover a fruit pie. Follow pie baking directions. I cut the recipe exactly in half to make a single crust for a pumpkin pie. 1 cup flour, 1/3 cup Crisco, tiny pinch of salt and I fill a 1/3 cup measuring cup half full with water. Have fun and enjoy!
Trying to get my daughter-in-laws to learn to make this - they always buy pie shells.
