How to handle hair longer than your arm's reach?

The culprit of hair knots are the split ends. Keep your split ends at minimum by moisturising your hair often and cut each and every split strand. Getting rid of split ends helps with detangling and minimising further damage. Classic length is where your hair reaches right under your buttocks. I lost that crown volume since my hair hit bcl .  Since my hair reached tbl I decided to handle my hair like it was extremely long, even longer than classic, breakable due to age, dry because natural oils can't reach such a length (evtl. link from torin page with coconut oil), etc. So I gave my hair an extra TLC (tender, loving care). Keep your hair moisturised Dry hair is prone to breakage, it's fragile. Moisture keeps it manageable. Some people can't handle sticky hair, hence why they don't use oils or use lightweight oils. Condition your hair until it becomes limp and straight at the ends (not the same as limp on the roots though). Don't force your hair to "...

To trim, or not to trim, that is the question

 Don't ask a hairdresser or someone who is not used to extremely long hair if you need a trim. According to such people, you need a trim. They don't know anything about taper . Everyday we lose a lot of hair but we also grow new strands everyday. Your hair can seem thicker and fuller at the top because of new hair growing that hasn't reached the length of the rest of your hair yet. The stands taper in at the bottom because as it begins to grow it comes out of the follicle finer and gets bigger as it grows, so the thin ends are hair that hasn't been cut and left to grow naturally. (Show before and after photos!)  Losing volume on the crown is another factor. People hate to see scalp or oily hair. They don't know about wigs vs hairloss vs hair pattern. Of course straigh hair will let your scalp and cowlicks show. It's logical. Hair lays straight down, hence why people confuse hair pattern with thickness and density . Wavy, curly and natural hair create volum...

Capillary schedule again

Image
 I decided to do a capillary schedule again . My hair felt soft, even if it was once a week and buying 3 types of conditioner. The reason why I go back to a capillary schedule is because I tend to forget to give my hair the moisture-nutrition-repair it needs. I only condition my hair when it feels dry, but it feels especially dry in summer. We have dry summers here in north-west of Germany. Talk about climate change ...  ETA: when I had the idea to start my capilary schedule, it was hot outside. Now it's autumn time. I get cold faster so I may need to wash my hair 2 times a week, because steam showers: mondays and thursdays.  Because I wash my hair twice a week in winter I will chose the first two rows of the weekly schedule. 1st Month 27th August - HYDRATION first, NUTRITION next Monday 31st August - NUTRITION. 3rd September - NUTRITION again. 7th September - HYDRATON. 10th September - HYDRATION. 13th September - NUTRITION. I had to wash my hair because I had to go to ...

4G conn. and the MUST HAVE a Smartphone-trick

Image
  since like 2 months ago my phone (nokia x2-01) battery discharged in anytime between 1 week and 2 days. needless to say that discharging gone faster day by day... I was thinking to say bye-bye to my ol' good mobile phone and buy another one; but I just love my mobile phone! it still works wonderful, it still has that good quality sound on radio and phone calls, it still has a good conn. even in the basement of "my" blockhouse, it still doesn't make any interference with any other devices in my room. luckily I found a new (no second hand!) battery provided by nokia. the new battery has same discharging rate! I switched the the old one but it still discharges in 3-4 days at most. what? I switched back to the new battery. still the same problem. then I remembered that I read about 4G conn. draining phone batteries like 3 times faster (!). I removed the sim-card when I charged my phone yesterday (sunday). normally my phone battery would be half drained by now. thankfull...
