Grow Long and Prosper: The Hair Edition

Friday evenings are solely dedicated to rewarding my hair for a week's long manipulation. I pamper my kinky tresses in some concoction of whatever conditioner mix, oil, hair mask I've got laying around. When I'm feeling a lil fancy, I'll pick up an avocado to blend into a hair smoothie (which quickly becomes too irresistibly yummy not to ingest~add a banana and it's BLISS). Now that I've revealed how incredibly bland most Friday nights are for me, I can let you in on the solo fun I had today after my visit to the local indian store. I picked up the main stuffs of the deep conditioner mix- henna powder and brahmi for $3
soooo cheap. 
I  henna when I feel my hair is just BLaghhh. When I shed long strands and my hair gets noticeably thinner. I make the henna mix (brahmi powder + jamila henna + cooled tea + coconut oil) in a bowl over a newspaper, apply it through my hair in 4 sections and leave it on overnight tight in plastic bags to prevent stains on my bed. (I also get a large plastic bag to cut open and tape on my pillow to make sure ther are no leaks) I  wash the mix out the next morning under high pressure warm water, co-wash with an entire bottle of 99 cent conditioner (v05-strawberries and cream) and comb through. After drying, my hair looks and smells awesome. Rejuvenation complete...Aaaah!

Here's some pictures detailing the process.

      Note:  I wore gloves to apply the goop (hehe) to my hair. the stuff can get messy if it's too watery.

      

I'll post the results tomorrow after I wash it out. I hope you guys are interested enough to try. I know alot about it, so leave any questions you have!  I'll leave you with a song that I really dig. It's quite fitting.

Iphone photo shoots

                                                                                                         I'm always so amazed at what my Iphone can do. I love "shopping" at the app store, and by shopping I mean getting all the free top downloaded Apps. The keyword here is free, folks. I'm not paying a penny more than what's on the monthly bill, which alone would suggest that I probably already pay for all the extras. Anyhoo, I gave the camera a spin and played dress up. It was ridiculously fun to do, yet a little hard because I had to hold the phone. Until I can recruit a photographer, my right hand will have to do the job and all the pictures will be from the waist up. :) -Azza
