Hairstyles For When Your Colour Is Growing Out

Hello lovely people!

My hair is naturally a dark brown colour but I really prefer it when it is lighter. So in January this year I went and got some highlights and it was the lightest it had EVER been. It took some getting used to but I really liked it. However when I went to the salon, my hairstylist asked me not to touch my hair for at least three months. I obliged with five months. As I confessed, I recently changed my hair but while it was in transition, these styles helped.

I digress, while my hair was growing out, I was frustrated at how my hair looked while my darker roots were growing out so I took to Pinterest (here's the link to my Hairstyles board) and hoped my "creativity" would work. Some of the hairstyles worked, some did not! 

 

I think using a braid in your hair really helps and actually make the hairstyle look better because the contrast is highlighted. 

Anyway, do you have any recommended 'go to' looks when your hair colour is in transition?

Have a wonderful weekend by making someone smile today!

3 Things I Recently Learnt

This weekend was so much fun and so much happened that I am certain that almost all this week will be full of blog posts from it, however I thought after my previous post, I would add to my list and include three things I recently learnt.

1. How to apply make up for someone else. This may not sound like a big deal but I am actually getting really good at this.

2. How to tie a Sari. It's crazy how difficult it seemed until I watched it a few times and then saw this Youtube video.

However, I incorporated a whole lot of different styles and came up with these Saris.....

3. Always have a back -up plan. I had planned to go to the hairdresser and have my hair done in a 1920s bell wave but when I got there, the lady made excuse after excuse as to why she couldn't do it and eventually I left the salon with straight (ish) hair but then after throwing a pity party for myself, I decided to go past Accessorize and buy a hair clip... how pretty is it? And I did my own hair.
I think the back- up plan reminded me that people will throw curve balls at you but you have to shake it off and find another way.

Have you learnt anything new recently?Why don't you share your lessons with me?

Home remedy to thicken your hair

Hi Everyone,

I was thinking about posting about one of those very sensitive topics which all ladies can relate to - our hair and when I was reading Meghan Silva's blog , I knew I had to share this!

When I was younger I had the most amazingly thick long hair (picture below) but then somewhere along the line (and a few dietary mistakes) my hair started thinning.

 

 

I was so upset about it because everyone always spoke about my hair and touched it when I was near and now it was ruined. I even went so far as to cut it short ( also pictured below) in order for it to appear thicker - that didn't really work and I hated my hair short.

So I started using Horse Shampoo at first which I purchased at a pet store (but now Dischem also stocks it) but since then I buy a number of products to add to it, namely:

 

1. Bergamotessens

2. Placenta

3. Bay Rum

4. Normal Shampoo

So you mix about 2/3s of horse shampoo, one placenta vile and about 1/4 of the Bay rum bottle and then fill the rest with your other shampoo and shake it all together.

You can apply this to your hair, ideally you should leave it in your hair for a few minutes but I don't really get the chance to wet my hair before I shower to then leave it in for longer so instead I only put the mixture on my roots and then condition the bottom.

This mixture will make your hair feel hard when it is wet but once you've dried it, it will be soft! My hair is not as thick as it was before but it is definitely improving!

Let me know what you think? Do you have any remedies you would like to share?
