I've been boring...

Yeah i have basicly just been wearing my hair in a bun with a hairstick this last couple weeks, majorly boring i know!  But its protective and easy, i think im almost bsl length so i guess bunning is paying  off. But i feel like a nerd i havnt been posting much i wanted to have more hairstyles up, i just havnt been in the "mood" lol. Mabeyyyyyy i will do something super cutee to my hair and post it.

Scene hair.

Yeaaaahhh....I had too. Ive always thought scene hairstyles were so beautiful<3<3<3 and since this is a hairstyle blog i though id do a post lol.

I remember going to the galleria mall circa 2008 in henderson (i'm from las vegas) there were soooo many scene kids, they seemed to all hang out there lol...
I always loved their hair all the colour, the bows, and the awesome layers (which if i layers like that in my hair it look like crap when curly). Okay so my friends and i never had scene hair but we went crazy with the colour, we dyed the broho section of our hair blue (there will be a post about this we got hair dye everywhere!) and when that faded i did pink, then went crazy with red hair dye (i dyed my hair a auburn red then put semi permant bright red over it, m-a-j-o-r d-a-m-a-g-e). anyway my mom wants me to get off my laptop.... So i'll blog later):

ps. broho hair is when you dye the bottom of your hair a different colour then the rest. (COLOUR? gosh why am i spelling it that way im not canadian...)

Detangling.

Now i know detangling has to be like the worst part of taking care of hair (it can take forever!). I recently switched to finger combing  my hair which takes a verrrrry long time. Yes i could use a hair brush to dentangle my hair and have it done alot quicker but it can lead to major breakage and split ends which means less length and ratty ends. Since using my fingers ive started to notice less breakage and seem to be retaining more of my length.

Now for detangling your hair you will prob need a few hair clips, a  conditioner, a squirt bottle full of water, a towel (to protect shoulders and clothes from water/conditioner.), a hair tool (wide tooth comb, denman brush,fingers), and plenty of time. It's a good idea to watch a movie to make the time pass, or if its summer of you live somewhere warm you can sit outside and do it and enjoy the sun. If your detangling a little ones hair make sure they have something to do (toys,books, snack, movie, tv show.)

The key to detangling is setting aside a time when you can focus on it and not have to rush. I'ts best to start with freshly washed/cowashed hair. Depending on length you might want to section your hair into 2-8 sections. Make sure your hair is wet/damp and has plenty of conditioner on it (it helps hair comb better).
Start with the first section and take a small part and starting from the bottom gently comb hair untill there are no detangles. When you are done with the first section put a hair clip around it to keep it from tangling again(or band it, braid it, or twist it depending on how you want to style the hair later).
When you are done with all the sections you can either leave in the conditioner and mabey add an oil on top or rinse out the conditioner and add a leave in product.

I hope i gave enough info on detangling if there is something anyone want me to add  please comment and i can edit the post. Also i'd like to her from my reader, how do you dentangle your hair and how long does it take you?

My handmade earings

So as i said in the last post i liked arts and crafts. I thought id share with everyone some of the jewelry i make.

A couple weeks ago i went to a farmers market and sold some of my earings, it was a fun experiance but i didnt enjoy getting up so early lol. if any one is interested in purchasing a pair (they are 2 for 5$) you can contact me at hempaliciousgoods@yahoo.com .

Arts and Crafts!

I am a big fan of arts and crafts! Being homeschooled (i graduated last year) by my mom arts and crafts was always a big part of our day, and it still is i could sit for hours listening to music,watching tv or just space-ing out while making crafts and jewelry. I once sat down and made like fifty chokers out of hemp my fingers were so sore that night. I plan on putting more posts up about the crafts i make and possibly how to's! (i really "!" dont i?)
Oh and im a big fan of oragami, i have more oragami paper then anyone else in the world (i like to think so lol), well okay i dont have that much but i have alot. My favorite thing to make are cranes i'm sure ive made well over a thousand (where's my wish) lol.

Four bun

This is from like two or three weeks ago when i had my hair straightend. Since im trying to grow out my hair (My goal is between waist and tailbone length) im trying not to straighten it more then evey couple months which is still alot and im planning to cut back even more so i can make my goal goal of bra strap length at the end of the year. I wore alot of fishtail braids and buns the week my hair was straightend to protect the ends and avoid breakage. Anywho more on the style:

I gathered my hair to the side of my head and then seperated it into 2 parts and made one big twist and wrapped it around into a bun and secured it with a hairstick(my grandpa made it for me it has a kukui not with a flower painted on it attached to the end), thats it! Its simple but super cute and a new twist to the classic bun!

In the close up you can kinda see that it looks like four sections.  I imagine if you have longer hair it will look different, but will still be a way cool look.(^_^).



BONUS PIC!!!
My mom's hair in a bun with a hair stick. It was a kinda swirly bun i think she wrapped her hair around the hair stick

How i wore my hair today.

I got my hair wet today and detangled (which took forever!). I wet my hairsectioned it in four, then put mane and tail conditioner in it. I finger combed each section and then put it into two twists. When i was done i untwisted my hair then rinsed out all the conditioner put it into four sections and added aussie moist and some oil to each section. I let my hair semi air dry (it was just too cold to let it fully air dry,  i used a blow dryer on a low setting untill my hair was still wet but not dripping) in pigtails with a second band around the middle to stretch my hair out. When it was almost dry i decided to style it:

I pulled the bangs out and put the rest back into a ponytail. Then i used a flower clip to clip my bangs to the side. I havnt worn my hair in a ponytail in a while so it was fun i kept swinging my head lol.

My sister and I.

I hung out with my lil sister Leah this weekend we had fun, we went to the mall.  Here are some pics!!!

People told us we have the same teeth lol!

Super Cute Hairstyle!!!

So this weekend i did my friend Kayonias hair, and i think it turned out super cute(^_^)!

It was kinda hard to braid her hair because of how straight it is since she is part japanese, the hair kept slipping and the parts were hard to do, but all in all it didn't take that long. What i did was i parted her hair in half and tied off the bottom section, then did four cornrows on the top part then put rubber bands in her hair so the braids wouldn't unravel and left the ends un braided. Then i grabbed a little more hair and made to ponytails with it. I took random small sections of hair from the pigtails and braided them. I left the back down so she could have a half updo.

My yummy snack!

Ahhhh pure yummy-ness!!! I Made my own parfait, here's the recipe. It was yummy


1 Tablespoon Flax seed:
Half of a 6.OZ container of yogurt:

OMG! i have a hair regimen!!!

                 

            
I't like just now dawned on me, i have established a regimen! i feel proud and ima pat myself on the back (pat pat). I basicly follow the tightly curly method ( tightlycurly.com (i so making another post about it its awesome!!!) ) Yeah so Here it is:

2 x a week: Get hair wet and either co wash, shampoo (usually with dr bronners), or apple cider vinegar rinse, or tea rinse.
I don't alway shampoo every time usually once a week or week and a half but i get my hair wet twice a week so i dont really have to my scalp still gets clean. After i'm done i put conditoner in and rinse it out when im done showering/bathing. Then i apply more conditioner (aussie moist) and leave that in,then i add an oil on top. I section my hair into two and take small sections and finger comb them, when im all done i let it all aair dry. Then i keep it in a bun or up do most of the time, and daily if needed i add a little conditioner and water or some hair serum or oil. at night i put my hair into a big pony on top of my hair (called pineappling) and tie a silk scarf around my head and sleep on a silk pillow case.


ps. the picture doest really go wtih the post but i liked it.

straight hair dont care lol

So i straightend my hair and i kinda feel bad about it like gosh i might have totally damaged my hair and stuff, buuuut i'm happy with the length and exited for it to get longer. when im no longer feeling lazy i'll post pics of it.  ugh but i cant stop thinking this is the second time this year and like the 5th time in like 7/8 months ive straightend it is that too much? well i use to do it every week so i really did cut back (good girl) i think its safe to say i have a healthy relationship with my flat iron now( well its a curling iron but whateverrrr) however i am not happy about the breakage but thats what i get for being so length crazed thinking i want to feel like i have long hair now and not wait untill my curls reach my back!!!! i mean my hairs not that long its full armpit length but its long enough to make me feel (special) lol

Aussie Moist Conditioner!!!

One of my fav's, its awesome cuz it detangles my hair very well and is a great leave in! And it also smells yummy kinda fruity (grape?) idk...and it's cheap (awesome!)
I use this like every time i wash my hair so about twice a week plus some extra to use to "refresh" my hair when it's looking dry, and when you seal it with a natural oil it makes your hair stay moisturized super long.
