For me it's pretty common sense that I first do my hair, then I get dressed, undress then undo my hair before getting in the shower; simply because if I'd let my hair down while dressing/undressing, it'd wrap around my clothes and tangle badly. I'd risk damage untangling it. Another plus is the freedom I have to work with my arms when I don't have a fluffy pullover . Even a very long braid is more compact and manageable than 150k hair strands spread on at least half a meter in every direction possible (the minimum length where hair is seen as long. It's also the bra-strap-length mostly). So in summer when I take off the hair stick out of my bun, I still have my hair compacted - in a braid. For people who think something like "how does she go to toilet with that hair?", I can safely say they lost the last bit of common sense. (Why don't they state the same thing about long nails though?). Even before I found the long hair community I wrapped m...

I know DIY is a trend and people buy more just for the feeling of minimalism, savings they actually spend foolishly, CLICKBAIT on 5 minute crafts, etc. For me DIY is using the stuff you have instead of buying from a person you don't even know because she's "influencer". Rant over. I received a chocolate box full of chocolate candies. Me and my husband ate all the chocolate but we like this box so we planned to keep it. Yes, even though "aluminium is potentially harmful" bla bla bla. This box is noisy but it's ok. I use it twice a day to stock my hair toys in it. Very much of a #longhairproblem hehe. What I like even more about this chocolate box is, I can stock my other private things, like my glasses. Oh and my 2 hair sticks are just the right size for this box!

I bought a shauma conditioner on Tuesday, 26th Nov, a 250ml bottle. After my shampooing , my scalp returned back to normal, so I co-washed on 29th November. 9th of December: is not like my scalp or my hair need a wash, but I'm cold and a hot bath will do great. Co-wash/deep conditioning (kinda) is included. It's pampering time! 14th of December: we have a stormy, cold and rainy weather in my area. I can hear the wind like the wind effect in good ol' gothic rock songs . I'm tired and cold; and I needed a hot bath. Usually after 4 or 5 days I'd water and oil my ends, braid to lock in the moisture and I had perfect, conditioned hair. Ok, a bit stringy because of water and oils but it was manageable. Today I had to wash my hair because if my head is cold, my entire body is cold. I'm that sensitive. I WCC'ed today, partly because my bottle of conditioner is almost empty and it wouldn't be enough for a co-wash, partly because I measured my ponytail circum...

Elling woman bun - my sleep bun I can't pancake my braids, so a voluminous braid is impossible for me to create. Such mohawk-like braids are rare on me. I can do them on greasy hair. I like the front side a lot. It looks a bit like the edwardian poof. I just wonder why I can only do such braids on rare occasions and only with super oily hair? Is my hair too slippery to create volume - most probably Are these voluminous hairstyles created only on hair coated in dry shampoo? - 99% of tutorials out there claim so. I'm not going to use any styling product. I can make such mohawk-braids when I lay on a chair and start braiding from my crown though. Having cowlicks and flat hair may actually help if you rise it above the cowlick? I mean if you comb upside down, you actually end up with some volume (at least for a while). I just never wear such a braid because it ends in an akward position like a high ponytail. My braid seem like I started it from the crown and not from e...
