 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 ...

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...

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...
