Back to the beauty side of things this week. I wanted to share with you all my hair care routine. If you want to try new cruelty free hair care or your hair is similar to mine then I am sure this routine would be helpful!

Like skin care, everyone's hair is different. I have normal, collar bone length hair that is naturally wavy/curly. First things first, I don't use any heat on my hair unless I have a party or event. Even then I might not use it. I'd much prefer to sleep in braids than to straighten my hair. Also, I only wash my hair twice a week. Sundays and Wednesdays so those are the two days I am going by in my post.

SUNDAY
I have dedicated Sundays to be my pamper day/night. I try to do a hair mask (hello hair*) every two weeks alternating with my Evo Happy Campers leave-in moisturiser*. Hello Hair claim their masks only last a few uses however, with my hair length I have been able to use it for about 10 or so uses. You definitely get your moneys worth in a practical packaging. On the alternating Sundays when I don't use a mask I put in little of the leave-in moisturiser. Roughly a 5 cent piece (even less) otherwise I find it leaves my hair too shiny too soon and I have to wash it sooner than Wednesday.

To actually wash my hair I use the Fudge violet shampoo, even though my hair isn't blonde this works on brunettes to cancel out any brassy tones. So if you're a brunette and struggle with an orange tinge to your hair due to dying it then I recommend this!! Followed by the Organic Care shampoo and conditioner. I only double shampoo my hair when I've done the hair mask.

After my shower is when I'd put in the leave-in moisturiser mentioned above. I then let my hair air dry until it is 70-80% dry and then I braid it.

WEDNESDAY
I don't do anything fancy on Wednesdays. I shampoo and condition with Organic Care, not fudge! I find it leaves my roots (naturally have ashy hair) too grey looking. After showering I don't add any hydration in my hair as the conditioner is plenty for me. Instead I add Evo Liquid Rollers curl balm* which enhances natural curls or waves. Every time I use this I notice my hair is that extra bit curly rather than wavy and it actually defines the curls a lot better.

I again let my hair air dry as I avoid heat as much as possible. I'd just like to add that if you have chemically dyed your hair or apply heat tools to it regularly, then completely take a break. Focus on hair masks, leaving your hair to naturally dry and style and in a few months time it will go back to being in a much better condition. For me a simple hair care routine like this works best. I have to admit some weeks I don't even add the extras because I want to let my hair be but it really depends on how my hair is feeling at what products I think it needs. I feel like a minimal approach is best and there is no need for 100's of chemical products being applied directly to our scalps multiple times a week.

I'm back! After a three week break from blogging I wanted to come back with a post that was fun and light hearted. I've decided to do a variation of the boyfriend tag however I've tweaked the questions a little. Hopefully you enjoy his responses and are able to get to know me/us a little better.

P.S. This isn't a question but for anyone wondering we met when we were 14 years old and have been together for 3 and a half years. We did date for half a year when we were 15 but broke up then reunited and here we are now.
Also whatever is in brackets and italicised is my commentating on his responses.

So let's get into it!

It was the first day of year 9 and we had assembly. I thought who is this new girl with braces talking to her sister? (That girl was not even my sister 😂).

The Bachelor (Anyone else not started Matty's season yet?)

I have learnt to use the correct English grammar and also to be nice more often (Anyone else correct other people's grammar/spelling? Or is it just the "teacher" in me?)
