Hair update

'A mind is a terrible thing to waste
......a waist is a terrible thing to mind'


I dunno why I wrote that? Maybe because I can? Lol. Happy new month everybody! I am just so excited I finally get to go grocery shopping. Lol. I said I was sticking to a budget in this post and so far I have spent £12.27 on items with long shelf lives.

I have been getting tons of private emails about my hair. Lol. I have stuck to my deep conditioning method I blogged about on this post and I took some pictures of my hair on Sunday. The only change has been to omit the Avocado. Avocados are no longer in season and so are hard to find. That means if I do find them they will cost me an arm and that I am not willing to pay!

I tweaked my 'recipe' and I have omitted avocados ever since. I have also trimmed my ends 4 times since that post. WAIT! Before you scream, 'that's a lot', I haven't had a trim in forever! The first couple of times was me trimming my ends equally and the other 2 were 'search and destroy' missions where I trimmed strands that looked......should we say distressed? Lol.

Look at all that shrinkage! Lol. My hair is now BS length and I can tell it has grown since my last post which was also the last time I bothered to check the length. Bear in mind I have trimmed it 4 times and this is what's left. Lol

I have a jar of Mayo I use exclusively for my hair and this cost me 45p. My jar of honey cost 99p and my hair still grew. Do the maths and give your verdict. Lol

I finally finished my Boots shampoo on Sunday! Whew! Now I can hunt for a sulphate-free alternative that's better for my hair. I have some Lush bars I have decided to try. We will see how it goes when that happens. Lol.

And I have to mention I finally succumbed and installed a weave! The last time I did that was in July of 2011. I gave them up because the stylists I went to always competed to see who could pull my brains out of my scalp! I am not even joking! They braided my hair so tight my edges were non-existent! This one time, my scalp actually bled from the middle *shudders. I just got tired of the whole thing and decided to never subject my hair to all that torture.

It hasn't been easy keeping up with my hair and I admit I still don't do it as much as I should. Well on Sunday I caved in. I remembered this abandoned pack of weave from back when I used to have them, sat in front of my laptop and put the thing in myself! No aches, no pains, no breakage, my scalp's fine and my hair's protected. Lol.

Quite proud of my closure. This was my first look in the mirror and I went back to 'fill in the blanks' Lol

Some parts needed attention and I fixed that after taking these shots. I was quite proud of my work at the end of the day and will probs be doing this again. Lol

 Finally, my jar of honey is empty and before I recycle, I had to pay tribute to the Tesco value brand. Lol. This was replaced by the Tesco Everyday value brand and I will never see this label on the jars again. Quite sad. Tesco value and I have history mehn! Emosh! Lol.....plus I prefer the old brand on the honey jars! Yes! I said it! I don't always like change :-(

Gone but not forgotten........*throws into the recycle bin

P.S

Happy World Nutella Day!!!

I was going to post a recipe, I promise but in the end I started with this one and ran out of nutella :-(

You will need:

A teaspoon

1 jar of nutella

A mouth full of 'sweet teeth'

Method:

Unscrew your jar of nutella.....easy, easy does it, you have to coax the lid off like you are soothing a baby.

Grab your spoon, climb into bed and stab that jarful of chocolatey brown goodness......because in life, everyone deserves a break.

Love you darlings! xx
