Hello! I'm sorry I've been quiet recently, but I have been browsing! It was my three year anniversary back in January, so I feel like I need a pic update of my nearly hip hair :D http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z369/woolyleprechaun/th_altAn6vxzIjm63-A1nSsylKcyW5CFACQuL0TYaGb8DcGuFf_zps2bbd7d99.jpg (http://s1186.photobucket.com/user/woolyleprechaun/media/altAn6vxzIjm63-A1nSsylKcyW5CFACQuL0TYaGb8DcGuFf_zps2bbd7d99.jpg.h tml) http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z369/woolyleprechaun/th_altAnFAaFGK9OQGo_tqyyy5HvAjgkHALoVyKCotTrtrJAkX _zpsc471ec77.jpg (http://s1186.photobucket.com/user/woolyleprechaun/media/altAnFAaFGK9OQGo_tqyyy5HvAjgkHALoVyKCotTrtrJAkX_zp sc471ec77.jpg.html) http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z369/woolyleprechaun/th_altArz02iqO8YSqMdLG8pXXD2T1-8Y-rkd7Hr54ajZHusOH_zps2fce1edf.jpg (http://s1186.photobucket.com/user/woolyleprechaun/media/altArz02iqO8YSqMdLG8pXXD2T1-8Y-rkd7Hr54ajZHusOH_zps2fce1edf.jpg.html) http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/z369/woolyleprechaun/th_altAnmuoSWvndgsZ1in6MDSp9hssKqE9SyPRBxdfPuGkDWL _zps82a476ca.jpg (http://s1186.photobucket.com/user/woolyleprechaun/media/altAnmuoSWvndgsZ1in6MDSp9hssKqE9SyPRBxdfPuGkDWL_zp s82a476ca.jpg.html)

Thanks for the inspiration, what kind of routine do you have :flower:

You are one of my "hair heroines". Your hair is superlatively beautiful. The color, the shine and those waves-I'm so envious I could scream! And it is certainly getting very long.

Ahhh you are all too kind! The pinky red ends are just Directions hair dye in poppy red... I sometimes mix it with an orangey based one to perk up my henna ;)

For those who asked, I haven't got a terribly exciting routine, I'm afraid. I wash it every few days (anything from three to six days) with a sulphate free shampoo which I use diluted in my ketchup bottle, and condition with a cheap cone-free conditioner. I oil my hair lightly with almond oil occasionally, use either a tangle teezer or my wooden Bodyshop comb for detangling and wear my hair up every day, usually in a hairstick bun of some description. I wear a braid tied with a scrunchie for bed. When I remember, I give it a long soak in my homemade pre-poo treatment I like to call 'hair custard' (SMTs never did well on my hair- I ended up soft but frizzy). My main rule is NO HEAT :D I've been heat free since joining LHC.

What else...? Oh, I henna my roots every 4-6 weeks with bog standard Asian grocery henna and sometimes pimp my colour with some Directions diluted with conditioner. I like Naked products, and sometimes use the cone free leave in. That's it, really :)

I think having a decent diet helps; when I eat crap, my hair is crap. When I stay true to my paleo, with lots of fruit, veg, nuts, meat and eggs, it repays me generously.

Thank you all for your kind compliments <3 ETA: The figure 8 bun! Haha. This pic was of my first ever successful figure 8 bun, and was (naturally) only achieved just before bed. As you can see, I'm wearing my rather sexy fluffy pink dressing gown. As the laws of hairstyles go, nobody gets to see the successful attempts- to cheat this, I asked hubby for a photo ;)

Ahaha I was going to ask if you were paleo! It rocks. The only time I've ever had serious growth and "sudden volume" was when I ate whole30. I'm going back to paleo ASAP now my student loan has come (yea!!) so I thought I'd mention it.

Your hair is absolutely fabulous :)

Why, thank you kind lady :) Paleo just does wonders for my hair, skin and nails. I've always been seriously acne-prone and its the only thing that truly helps. I'm not a huge meat eater (I've done vegan stints in the past) so I try and make up for it with eggs and nuts. Its less pricey that way, too. Thank god for student loans, eh? ;) Keep me posted on how you get on! :D
