Hola!
I want to color my hair.
Badly.
However, I know that coloring my fine, fragile hair would be disastrous, so what better way to color my hair?
Why HENNA of course! Now, if you've been following my blog, you know I have a deep love affair for henna. I've dyed my hair red then back to black using henna/indigo. Well, I just realized that I can dye my hair brown using henna and indigo as well! I'm expecting my shipment of henna and indigo in the mail any day now, and I can't wait to try it!
In other news, I've slacked off the castor oil challenge because I'm recently recovering from a really bad bout of bronchitis which resulted in 2 ER trips so right now, I'm dealing with ssk's up the wazzoo.
Till next time!

New Year. New Hair. New Me.
Happy New Years!
Hope everyone had a great New Years, I actually slept my way through it. Oh well.
In hair news, I wore my puff for my xmas party and my hair was a HIT! I will say that my + winter= bad business. My poor hair was so dry and stiff by the end of the night that I had to re-wash it and deep condition it for almost 3 hours(bad I know).
As you can see from the pictures I posted, my edges are growing back in nicely and the small bald patch near the crown has some peach fuzz so I'm extremely happy about that. I decided to add some coconut oil to my castor oil mix since my hair likes it better. My hair loves the combination of B.A.S.K Silk and Honey Leave in and Qhemet's Amla and Olive heavy cream for moisture. I also purchased products from CC's Naturals and Pura body. Since I'm in protective styling for the next 2 weeks, it will take some time to do a decent review. Finally, I gave myself a much needed trim, which was a welcomed relief. I chopped off a lot but, meh, it'll grow back.
see my edges? I've never been so happy to see peach fuzz. As you can see that small patch is coming along nicely. My phone was acting stupid so this is the best I can do.
My views of my bodacious puff.
This is the style I wore on Christmas Day. I didn't feel like doing my hair so I did some twists in the front, sealed with some coconut oil and made a turban out of a neck scarf.
This year I'm going to make a concentrated effort to watch what I put in my body. Whether it means drinking more water or getting over my aversion to leafy vegetables, I promise myself that I will do whatever it takes to grow long and healthy hair.
Till next time!
