honey hair mask diy

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Honey is effective in treating damaged hair thanks to the humectants it contains. It also smells nice, and will leave hair with a sweet after-scent.

Mix 1/3 cup of honey with 2 tbsp. of olive or almond oil. Carefully apply the mixture through hair, and wrap hair in a shower cap. Leave on for 30 minutes, then rinse.

care free curl goldi’ve been using Carefree Curl Gold on my hair for a minute now. it was actually my sister B that introduced me to it; all by chance of course. i was rummaging through her pj stash when i ran across it about 6 years ago. she told me it worked wonders on her hair – which is 4a/b like mine – so i gave it a try. it did work well for me, but it took a few weeks for me to see the benefit. my hair was a hot mess though at the time (hot mess because it was so dry), but it helped to restore it to a better condition.

from tips i’ve learned from my sister, i’ve grown my hair long and upped my knowledge game so now she calls me for tips. she and i were the first naturals heads in the family.

i’d been using my mix for a few years when I realized that tons of women were blowing up message boards about using this or S-Curl for their natural hair. i think it does so well because it’s 99% oil free and the first and main ingredient in this product is WATER — our natural and best humectant!

this how I make my hair mojo as i call it. i could not live without this stuff. my hair craves it.

manzanita jewelry tree

<< not my tree! :)

i used to fashion myself a crafty girl. shoot! i once taught crafts at a summer camp! but as i’ve gotten older, i’ve let my crafty skills get rusty. 

well, lately, i’ve wanted to find a way to organize my big pile of costume jewelry. because i love very organic pieces, i decided that i wanted to go with an earring tree.

so, the old crafty juices got to flowing and i’m going to fashion an earring tree this week. i’ll be sure to feature tons of pics and detailed step-by-step instructions. i picked up some lacquer spray paint from home depot this weekend and i can’t wait to start. i think i’ve found the perfect branch too. that’s the trick – finding the best piece.

until then, check out these eye candy inspirations to hang on my tree. :)
