Hair is so self-care! And, with naturally curly hair it is a total barometer of stress or happy hormones. It has such a mind of it's own. When i am haggard it is straightish and frazzled. When i feel good and calm its also nice and calmly curly
When i am excited happy it's extra curly LOL it's funny that way. Though, i could never cut ever 8 weeks. No way! I cut once per year... if that! Srsly, my hair grows slowly and the dryness of curly hair its insane! My self-care practice is to use hand made non-toxic personal care products and housecare products. Though i am struggling a bit with hair style product. Sometimes oil isn't quite enough, i'd like just a little more style! And, i have changed from drinking coffee to dandy blend tea & 5 mushroom blend drinking chocolate. It's so good! Lastly, i love to forage! Soon we'll enjoy wild greens in our salad! Yumm ❤💯🌷
That sounds wonderful @yogajill. I love my coffee LOL. I completely understand about how your mood affects your hair. Mine has just been a mess for the past few months and life has been stressful. I have watched a couple of videos about using flaxseed and making into a gel type substance. It's like raw egg whites, but my hair was so soft and the curls were light.
Yes! Funny you mention it. A girl in our town uses it. I am so slow to the draw with these things. I i really should give it a whirl!! It works great for her! I gave up coffee a few months ago. But, was craving the earthy taste it has. Dandy Tea totally is an excellent replacer (if you're looking for one, which you are not Haha, but in general!) And, it has a lot of health benefits 🤷♀️ win-win! #nourish 💯
I am definitely just the kind of girl that doesn't get her haircut for about six months and feels much better when I do get it done. I am never really that bothered about it. But haha I think I might book in for a haircut. Love the curation posts you featured they were good ones xx

My husband cuts my waist length hair about once a year, when the ends get too spikey. It gets washed about twice a week, and usually brushed once a day. If I'm having a bad day, it won't get cared for.
You are spot on, how well I am doing is directly related to how well I look. I have to have the energy to be presentable.

I always say hair is like the manes of a lion - they are our ego, part of are appearance - we let it define who we are.
I admire those who can shave it off and don't care. I can't... yet
I have dreadlocks for more than 20 years now. Always colored in some ting of red. Except last year, for our wedding, I made it fuchsia, lol.
Getting a haircut is not an option, lol.
When they first put the dreadlocks in, I looked into the mirror, and there was this feeling of: I'm finally 'me'.
Even after 20 years, I still have that feeling. I know the pride I take in them are an ego-issue, and so far, I can't even think of cutting them, let alone losing them.
But what you say is true indeed. Due to circumstances, I couldn't have them colored for an entire year. I actually felt so bad I didn't even care. And it looked so bad, that I felt even worse... it's a vicious circle.
Since two weeks, I'm finally a redhead again, and I haven't felt better and more like myself in months. It was awesome to look in the mirror and see myself again. :0)
Thanks for the call out @naturalmedicine The more we can recognize when fear drives us, the more truth fulfilled lives we will lead. Truth is simple - things based of power and fear are meant to control. This breads more negativity rather than love and empowerment. It takes some practice being able to notice this real time in our lives but we will all be much better off as we begin to awaken to this truth.
Nice write up too...hair is more important than most people give it credit for ;-)

Ugh, been way too busy to do more than wash and brush mine! I agree, it feels great to take special care of our hair.
Hair is compostable though, so that is interesting. After doing a haircut, I typically throw it in the compost. :D
