My shrine in July 2012

This is my current hair care shrine. I think this doesn't need any further explanation. ;-)

Please, don't hesitate to contact me if you want further information on any of these products. I haven't tried the Tresemmé conditioners and the VO5 Nourish me Truly Hot Oil treatment yet.

New Length Pictures July 2012

Ok, so this is how my hair looks right now. It's 65,5 cm (25.8") long.

It's still wayyyy to go until I will reach waist length. Can you see how the flash messes with my actual hair colour! Yes, it's THAT red. lol

DIY: Honey Spritz

Since I have been kinda lazy on the DIY front lately I thought it was about time to get creative once again. Well not THAT creative since I 'stole' this recipe from someone else (thanks, Prusse).

Ok, here we go!

I needed:
- 100 ml of warm water
- 1 tsp. honey
- lemon juice
- The Body Shop Rainforest Moisture conditioner
- 5 drops of essential orange oil

- a spray bottle (100 ml)

I boiled the water and let it cool down a bit to the point where it wasn't hot anymore. Then I added the honey, a dash of lemon juice and conditioner and the orange oil and stirred it all well until the honey and the conditioner were dissolved nicely. I filled it into the spray bottle and there you go!

I keep this in the refrigerator and will use it to moist the end of my sleeping braid before I go to bed. This can be used alone or the moisture can be sealed in with either jojoba oil or my sheabutter-jojoba oil-mix.

If you want to know more about the benefits of honey in hair care please head over to Cinnemon Hair's website. It's one of my favourites!

I got the idea for this leave-in from Prusse's blog.
