10 Tips to keep your hair healthy


I did research for years and years to learn everything about how to keep your hair healthy.
OK, I didn't. But I have lots of
experience because of my obsession with hair. My hair is my baby and so I take good care of it. Sounds pathetic does it?


1. Eat healthy. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. This way you get lots and lots of healthy vitamins and minerals. You can also buy vitamins especially to strengthen your hair and nails.) This isn't only good for your hair, also your nails and skin will refurbish of it (and of course fruit and vegetables contains anti-oxidants which helps to protect your body against diseases like cancer.) Your hair will be much stronger and your body too.
2. Choose the right shampoo and conditioner. Personally I prefer natural hair products (I use coconut), which mostly do not contain silicons, sulfates and parabens. These (and more) ingredients are very bad for your hair, and even for your scalp. I advise you to go google these ingredients and learn more about it.
When I started using natural products, my hair is so much more healthier!

3. After washing your hair, the best way to dry it is to wrap it in a towel. So, not rub it dry. Leave the towel for five minutes and then just let it dry in fresh air. Don't brush your hair when it's still wet. This will break your hair.

4. Take a regular visit to the hairdresser. There are no products which ensure that you no longer have split ends. Well, they are for sale but they don't work. (Of course! You can't help hair ends which are already split. That's bullshit.)
Advice hairdresser: visit hairdresser every 6 weeks.
Advice me             : visit hairdresser every 8 weeks if you want to grow your hair long. You know how those hairdressers are.

5. Determine your hair structure. Thin hair needs more care than thick hair does, thin hair breaks much easier. Now you can buy the right (natural!) products for your hair.
6. Beware of hair style products such as a hair dryer or straightener. This dries out your hair making it even easier to break. Products that 'protect' against the heat are nonsense. It might help a bit, but with temperatures like that your hair will lose the game. Just avoid style products like this and accept your hair the way it is.
7. Thin hairbands are better for your hair than thick ones.
8. Put your hair in a ponytail when you go to sleep, so it's held together so that it breaks less rapidly.

I'm getting tired and google translate hates me.
And my English sentences are weird.
9. Don't dye your hair that much. If you want to lighten it up (or darken it), you can apply highlights (lowlights). If you dye your hair brown you can use henna (natural product of course!) which is even healthy for your hair. See my recent post: henna for your hair.
10. Talk to your hair like it's your baby and even give it a name. Now it will grow faster.









 




Examweek: Day 1

It feels so good that I've already made two exams today, history and Dutch.
Secretly, I do have a good feeling about it. For now I have to read a whole book for English tomorrow..
I didn't read it on time. Hihi.
You know that I'm on the same highschool for 7 years now? You now how long that is?!
All children in school are so young and small. After New-Zealand I want to study at collage. IF I come back from New-Zealand...Maybe I find my happiness there. Joke. Can't miss my boyfriend, family and friends for that long. I'm thinking of doing a study in English: Management Tourism and Recreation.
Enough for now, I'm going to read The Kite Runner.

Colored jeans

Colors are hot these seasons. Even colored pants are back in fashion. On this moment you see most pants in red, green or blue, but my mother bought me a pink one! And I'm so happy with it! I've never wore any colored pants in my life. There was a time (when I was really young!! So I must be forgiven) I wore a red wide pants with a silver chain on it. Super ugly, but hé, people make mistakes.
I'll show you some picture's (sorry, quality sucks) of my pink pants and also my outfit of today!
What color pants are in your wardrobe?

Most beautiful haircolor in the world

Ohhhhh I'm so in love. I love love love love love dark brown/red hair which is called mohogany (See Cheryl Cole and some of the pictures of Ariana Grande). Especially if someone has a (light)dark-colored skin, dark eyebrows and brown eyes. That's my favourite look and it will never change. This hair color wouldn't look good on me because I have a light skin. WEEEEH. So jealous.
But in the end you have to be happy with the stuff you DO have in life, right? So...I'll try. I think everyone wants to have the exact opposite of what they have. Blond wants brown hair, brown eyes wants green eyes, light skin wants dark skin, boy wants to be a girl (uhmm) and so on. What's your favourite look? These are my favourites!

Ahww right now I feel to dye my hair again. In mohogany. Shall I do this or...?
Your opinion please!




















Spring 2012: airy blouses

You can match it with almost any outfit you want and they are really popular this spring too. Our trusty blouses. Today the most blouses are airy and therefore suitable for spring. Also the soft fabric of which the blouses are made are very comfortable.  Personally I love to match these kind of blouses with golden earrings to make it even more classy.

Fashion: All neon

Don't know why, but neon is back. First we tought it was rigid, ugly and retro, now we think it's hot.
It's hot because neon colors stand out. Brown, beige and black were the favourite colors of last year. Now the people just want something different and striking. And it worked! We still have to get used to it, but you see more and more people with the courage to wear what they want.
