Challenge 1: no trim Challenge 2: a capillary schedule I chose Middle and high porosity hair  because hair beyond butt length should tend to be medium poros. I don't know if it's true, but I chose the middle between low porosity CC and high porosity CC. I either risk too much less or too much products that either don't penetrate my lower porosity hair or penetrate it too much and let it weigh down by so much products. So the happy middle it is! If you wash your hair once a week follow this CC 1st week: hydration 2nd week: rekonstruction 3rd week: nutrition 4th week: rekonstruction I'll decide if I buy either conditioner or hair mask though. I'm not happy with hair masks because they're basically conditioners to leave for longer than 2 mins. Meh. My conditioner should contain  - for hydration: any hydrating conditioner (germ. Feuchtigkeit)  - for nutrition: mostly conditioners that contain oils  - for reconstruction: keratin, repair conditioners...

I can't count how many times I've seen this on different YouTube braiding tutorials. I was like: "so what? I can't do fishtail braided double Dutch braids either." Venting for more than 3 years on YouTube I met people who really can't braid, no matter what. I was puzzled because I have scoliosis so it should be more difficult for me to handle my classic long hair that it should be for them handling layered apl-to-waist length hair. Growing my hair longer helped me learning what rough handling is (aka ripping off trough tangles), how our body can be trained to accept natural products, how shampoo commercials lie, etc. The lower half of my hair is thin but it marks the learning process of 23 years of short hair. (Photo w/ the braid) I learned that if you can't do this or that fancy updo is ok. I focus on flat and stable braided buns instead of volume, intricate small braids that would force me to lighten my hair so you can see it. Here are my tips f...

What do you do after reading series? You read  your Facebook friend 's book , because why not: the plot sounds interesting, your husband is probably a hobby music producer and you always wanted to know how some rock bands can create such mysterious music videos about sadness, drugs, hallucinations or suicide. Little spoiler alert, those musicians wrote how they felt, so next time be careful when using terms like emo  for goth or for experimental music à la Bjork , or so. If you check Carolin Sandner's Facebook profile you will see she shares great ballads from bands I only heard them once or twice, but almost never on regular music channels. I started reading Carolin Sandner's book on 13th November (no pun intended) and I read to page 34 from the start. It's a good sign, because I usually read that much in such a short time if a certain book is fast paced with a slow motion effect. Not dwelling on details, using as less words as possible to describe a scene is for...

I learned from the long hair community how shampoo strips scalp of natural oils, so sebaceous glands in my scalp produce more oils in order to keep hair naturally moisturised. Yes, scalp oils are actually a natural conditioner... Anyway people fuss on greasy hair like it's not natural or something. My hair loves to get greasy and I love how my scalp relaxes after 4th day(!) of not shampooing. Last time I shampooed was in summer, probably mid-July. What was on my mind 3 days ago?! I shampooed again. Why?! I don't know. I thought my hair needs a cleansing because I keep my hair too much in a beanie. Silly me I thought I should get rid of oily hair and have smooth hair instead... not. Today is the 3rd day after washing and my scalp still produces oils like crazy and my ends are so fine, dry and fluffy I mostly finger combed my hair to not risk breakage. Although my hair doesn't feel greasy,  it definitely looks greasy. I tried to massage my scalp, to get rid of some sebum...

My hair is very long. There, where the hair is so long to reach beyond your buttocks. It's called classic length. So I definitely don't sleep with my hair loose, otherwise I'd wake up with a mass of tangles. I'm also past the length where a braid was enough. I can't sleep in a single position all night long or drag the tailbone length braid from under my back. If I let my tailbone length braid I'd end up with massive breakage in the morning. So I have to protect my ends somehow. So far the elling woman bun is perfect for sleep. It keeps the tassel of my braid pretty much inside the bun. Shampoo makes my hair greasy, conditioner doesn't  Next morning my updo loosened a bit but my braid tassel is still protected inside the bun  Start with a French or Dutch braid. An English or a side braid won't hold your ends inside the bun unless you pin it, which is damaging. Tie your braid (optional) Now pick a loop of the braid, but a loop closer t...

Chapter 1 Epileptic cat "Kitty!" I called my cat while I put the rest of the canned meat in her bowl. "Kitty!" I called again. Normally my cat was in the kitchen purring on the table while I struggled to open "her" can. How can a cat not hear or smell even if she has to poop? I opened the bathroom door. The lights were off. This has never happened before . There are no windows in my bathroom but it still looks familiar. I turned on the light. " Kitty! " My voice was lowered to a whisper. I knelt beside her and touched her jet black fur. Her body was stiff. I cradled her in my arms, planning to call my parents or my friend Julia who might know a vet. Suddenly I felt her muscles cramping, her heart beating faster her breath harsh. I hold her while she kneaded me repeatedly, then she turned back to her stiff position. My arms were bleeding. I knew by then my cat was epileptic. I put Kitty down, then called Julia. Why couldn't I...

We all know the thing about fridays for future . go vegan and boom! you save the planet. It may be true or not, I don't want your comments about this. But one thing is sure about not eating meat anymore: every doctor agrees you'll live healthier without meat. So how do you stop carving for meat? I asked myself this question is I joined fridays for future. If I try to stop carving for meat I tend carving for sugar more; and if I try to stop eating cookies I carve for meat. I played Pearl's Peril on facebook, level 48 - Cyprus where I saw a barbeque... in the game . Of course I had to think how much consume there was in 1930, when modernism was just fresh in the high society and how today we have to live like in the biblical times where meat was difficult to hunt and consume at a large scale. I'm going furthrer with my imagination while playing this game and I remember how much I hated when my grandma wanted to buy meat from the butchery. It's not the smell but...
