Summer Hair

I've been looking for simple/cute hairstyles for the summer. I came across this video by Andreas Choice and decided to recreate the look. :-)

Revlon Colorsilk

Yesterday I decided to dye my hair Blue/black....I bought a box of Revlon Colorsilk dye (#12) for $3.99 a few weeks ago but I couldn't decided if I wanted the Ombre look or to brighten up my already black hair.... after weeks of thinking about it I finally decided to stick with my black hair....I generally use Revlon Colorsilk dye (#10) but I wanted to go SUPER black. I really really really love the color!! However it made my hair feel a bit dry, I'm hoping after deep conditioning my hair it will get back soft. I don't think I'll used Revlon Colorsilk black/blue dye again although I love the color...I'll just stick with Revlon Colorsilk dye (#10, Black).

Ombre Hair

So I've really been liking the ombre hair look!! I don't know if i want to dye my hair jet black (again) or if I want to get the ombre look. I've been trying to grow my hair out and I kinda don't want to damage it with bleach but at the same time I'm kinda getting bored of having black hair...any suggestions?

Natural Hair Mask

When my hair is feeling a bit dry or dull I tend to use a natural hair masks and almost instantly I can see a change in the way my hair looks and feels!! Below is a simple recipe I use in my hair about every 3 months.

Ingredients

1 ripe avocado

1/2 a cup of honey

A Mixing bowl

Mixing Spoon

Steps

1. Cut the avocado in half and discard the pit.

2. Scoop out the inside of the avocado and mash it in the bowl until smooth.

3. Add the honey to the bowl and mix

4. Take the mask and apply it to dry hair.

5. Keep the mask on for about 25mins-1hr, rinse your hair, then shampoo and condition hair.

Long Lengths

Recently I’ve been trying to grow out my hair (it’s already long but I want it to be SUPER long) Below are a few tips to follow if you want to grow out your hair.

1. Dye your hair back to the natural color. Bleaching and box dyes damage your hair sooo much!
2. Cut your hair! Get an actual haircut (not a trim) if you don’t your hair will end up breaking.
3. Make sure you use decent products in your hair. Really cheap shampoos and conditioners can damage your hair. I use Sunsilk.. for some reason this is the only product that really works for me.
4. Shampoo your hair only once a week. Shampoo strips the hair of all its natural oils causing hair to break. I condition my hair EVERY day, but shampoo once a week.
5. Deep condition your hair on the days you use shampoo. Deep conditioning adds extra moisture and stops breakage.
6. STOP flat ironing your hair. If you can, blow-dry your hair or wear it natural. If not make sure you use heat only once a week. (I went 7 months without using a flat iron and my hair got soo much thicker and longer)
7. Trim your hair every 3-4 months.
8. Coat your hair with olive oil at least once a month. (See my curly hair routine post)
9. Use a natural deep conditioning mask. I make mine out of avocados or honey.

I’ll post a recipe for a natural deep conditioning mask later!I hope this helps! Also don't forget to check out my curly hair routine post.

Spring Braided

Here are some quick and easy hairstyles for spring.

1. Part hair down the middle...braid a small chunk of hair on the left side and secure it with a bobby pin. (do the same thing to the right side)

2.Part your hair to the side. Braid a big piece of hair on the side of your head with more hair, make sure you only braid your hair half way. using a hair tie pull the hair back into a side ponytail.

3.Part your hair down the middle, braid a piece of hair on the right side of you head and secure with a bobby pin.

3. Pull your hair to the side and create a messy side plait secure with a hair tie.

Straight Hurr Routine

To get my hair super straight I follow these steps.

Step 1. I shampoo and condition my hair with Sunsilk straighten up, if you can't find it in stores you can also use L'oreal Vive Pro hydra gloss (the one in the yellow bottle).

Step 2. Untangle you hair while wet

Step 3. Let your hair completely air dry. You can use a blow drier if you want.

Step 4. Spray your hair with heat protection (this is very important)

Step 5. Part your hair into little sections, the smaller the section the less time it will take to straighten.

Step 6. Coat the piece of hair with hair polish (I use Argon Oil or Fantasia in the pink bottle)

Step 7. Flat iron each piece of hair after coating it with polish.

I'll post pictures later =)
