Dear Hair Diary,

Today I went to the Bluk Barn to get some birdseed for my budgies.  There they sell natural products, soap and EO's.  So I picked up some Swiss Naturals Sea kelp conditioner.  Saw some Jojoba oil but it was way too pricey toyed with the idea of buying some liquid Castile soap.  I used it as shampoo years ago and kinda liked it, but budget would allow so I skipped it for now. 

This evening I made a hair pack from avocado, banana and  honey mixed with some Amla oil.  I made the pack and put it in and wrapped my head in cling film and watched TV for about an hour.  Rinsed it out and shampooed.  When I got out of the shower I freaked!   There was little bits of avocado all stuck in my hair like nits. Trying not to panic I went and rinsed and rinsed but it would not move  ???  My hubby said to let it dry then comb it out.  I said umm... no and put some more Swiss condtioner in and then did another rinse.  This time it all came out, thank god!  Phew! well my hair does feel sooo soft from the treatment.  Must rinse longer next time I found the cold water rinses to be mind numbing, but I guess I will get use to it. 

Would love to get my end trimmed but I'm afraid my old hairdress will not listen to me (as usual) and do something dumb. 

Nighty night 

Hi Galadriel 

I've been trying to get hubby to cut my hair but he's afraid he would mess it up.  I have long bangs in the front and I don't know if he can figure out how to cut them.  As for cutting it myself I could give it a go, mined my hair is only 15 inch long so it's going to be hard to do without help.  I'll keep ya posted  8)

Dear Hair Diary,

I found some old wooden hair toys I have had for years and refinished them.  One was given to me from my hubby, the other from his grandfather, who hand carved it.  I sanded them down and the oiled the wood.  The one from my hubby is a large oval "roach" shaped one he got at the "One of a Kind" craft show.  The one from Grandpa Axle is a hair buckle type.  His wife, btw, was the one with floor lenght hair of which was only grey on the top!    Many moons ago when I started dating my husband the first thing he ever bought me was a leather hair clasp, I still have it.  It looks like a native ponytailer.

Been sick lately and my poor hair looks like crap   I just been keeping it in a ponytail and out of the way till I can wash it.  I caught my cold when I went down to the marshy area in the local park to pick nettle tops.  I came back soaked.   Must get the prorper gear to go down there.  The river had overflowed due to the rains we've been getting. 

My newist project is to make a snood based on the one I saw in the movie "Everafter"  Got the idea from another hair sight I lurk on.

Well my bunny and I are waiting for a TV delivery.  Poor little sod has to be kept in the bedroom

Buy for now 

Dear Hair Diary,

I got off my bum lastnight and made the pillowcase.  I used the satin lining from and old coat, reduce, reuse and recycle!    My hubby just had to help with the sewing, two people and one sewing machine do not mix.   Notwithstanding we got it done and it feels so nice to sleep on!    The felt backing was great so the case did not slip off the pillow.  And it had a pocket in it so I left it there and put a lavender/rose herb bag in it.

Cheers!   8)

Dear Hair  Diary,

I am happy to say I am feeling alot better now and my hair is beginning to behave.   I used the anit-frizz CO treatment on my hair and it loved it!  I also made a mister of lavender and rain water to mist my hair during the day.  Hubby's been playing with my hair alot now.  He says since I've been coming here my hair has looked and felt very nice and was surprised to see that it doesn't tangle anymore! 8) 

Well I'm off to watch my shows, bye for now

Dear Hair Diary,

Went shopping lastnight and found a shampoo bar at "The Bulk Barn"  It says shampoo and co bar and has all natural ingredients including aloe.  I think I will try it later.  I also got some VO5 CO that was on for cheap at the Bargin Shop.  I've been wanting to try a CO wash.  But the best thing was I went to the park by my house where I pick Nettles and found............Horsetail growing there!!!  I was so thrilled I picked a bunch and brought it home and put it on my herb frame to dry. It was growing right with the nettles!  My hands got covered in Nettle rash ( I usually were gloves) but some homemade herbal ointment helped with that.   All these years and I never saw Horsetail there!!  My hair loves Horsetail!  Yippie!!  Well I'm off to find a recipe for Horsetail shampoo.  I know I saw one somewhere!!

Skoal!!!!
