HIBISCUS CONDITIONER MIX

Since i dyed my hair, i have had to re-organize a few things. I have had to condition and deep condition more.
I tried the hibiscus conditioner mix and i must confess that i liked it but when it got to washing it out, it almost drove me crazy.

Now, let me list the benefits of hibiscus for the hair.
Hibiscus has been known for its conditioning properties;
  • stimulating hair growth and helping to prevent hair fall.
  • It can be mixed with ayuverdic herbs (amla - to thicken the hair and prevent premature grey strands) or henna to achieve a red/burgundy tinge.
  • It can also be used as a tea (hair) rinse to help promote hair shine. ( info. from the Sheabutter Cottage)

STYLING MY DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLONDE

I love my new colour. Its my babe now because i have to treat and handle it with soo much care.
I loved my natural hair colour and how i styled it but i love my new colour a whole lot more these days.
 A simple bun at the back and a tweaked hump. Basically one large two strand twist, teased and pinned down. No gel.

POP OF COLOURS (THE DYE JOB)

This "insanity" was my third time at taking a box dye to my natural hair. I know some naturals are skeptical about altering the colour and to some extent the texture of their hair. But as i usually say "its just hair" and it will grow back.
I purchased this box dye sometime ago but never got round to actually using it. To commemorate two long back breaking years of an Mphil programme, i decided that it was time for some colour and liberation.


The exact box dye!!! Ginger Blonde
