My hair

[marialena]

As I promised to LHGypsyRose I put here some photos of my hair in day light. I dye them with red henna and wash them only with olive oil soap.
It took many years to grow them so long, I had in between some health problems witch made my hair thinner but now everything is alright and I have reached my goal which was to have waist length hair.
But "best" is the enemy of "better" so I intend to keep on growing them longer.

[marialena]

Thank you!!! thank you for your comments and your warm welcome. I didn't expect so good comments... I thought, probably from insecurity, that my hair isn't so good. But I guess this is the insecurities that we all have.. You know... You see a single hair broken and then you're thinking that your hair is damaged, ugly etc. and start searching here and there to find the best treatments..
Phalaenopsis thank you for telling me about this thread. ( I 'm still a little bit lost in the forum! ) Both the the forum and the thread are huge but I'll try to read all the posts of the thread because I'm sure it must has many good advices for hair like mine.
Thank you again girls. I'm very happy that I've joined this community and I feel very nice knowing that there is people from all over the world that like beautiful things and shares beautiful feelings. I think is very consolating ( did I use the right world.. I'm afraid I will never loose the insecurity about my English language skills :) )

Wonderful colour and length!

[aahavaa]

That is such pretty hair!! And such a beautiful colour!
Do you do only henna or henna and indigo?

[spidermom]

Very pretty hair; shiny! Greece is on my list of places to visit; maybe I'll make it over there one of these days. I've gotten as close as Italy so far.

Hi aahavaa! I use only red indian henna which I leave on my hair for about an hour. ( sometimes longer but usually about an hour).

[LutraLutra]

Your hair looks lovely, so healthy and the colour is really pretty. :)

[Leisje]

Wow, your hair is absolutely stunning! You should be proud to own that head of hair. It's lovely.

It's a nice period to visit Greece now. Spring just started and the weather is beautiful. I advice you, if you have time of course, to visit the islands.
If you stay a little longer you are going to catch up the Orthodox Easter, which islands people celebrates it traditionally. They have some very interesting customs in islands and it is very interesting to be there. The Greek Easter this year is on 19th of April. ( Easter is a celebration with no standard date- the date change every year).

Absolutely Gorgeous. I love your color.

[Laurel32]

Your hair is beautiful! Congrats on the length :)

[plainjanegirl]

Where do you get the olive oil soap and how do you use it?

Is your hair naturally that straight?

[1nuitblanche]

Stunning hair! (And the idea of "best" being the enemy of "better" is a very intriguing concept!)

I buy it from a local company. How I use it ( with details) here

( They asked me an I answered there- yeah I know I'm completely off topic :p).

Yes my hair are naturally that straight and I never managed to do them something deferent. My hair is the hairdresser's terror. They can try for ours to curl them, just to see their work vanish before I get to the door..

It's not a concept.. Is the rule. ( which has for exception thοse who don't have ambitions- you won't find this kind of people any more.. ).
I think this is a forum for ambitious people. Otherwise they wouldn't have goals and they wouldn't have long hair. :)

[Sanela]

Love your colour...huh I wish my hair was straihgt!

[LittleOrca]

[Aditi]

[Amoretti]

Your hair is beautiful!! :D

[YogaGirl59]

You have gorgeous hair. It's so shiny and healthy looking. Your hair-care routine is working well for you.

I always wished I had straight hair like yours. Curly hair just never looks as shiny and I have to wet it down every single day.

[effe]

Wow...Your hair is very gorgeous and shiny. I love your hair color. I always envied and liked straight,soft,thick and shiny hair. You have it all.:bowtome:
