When life gives you lemons... Lighten your hair!

Hi everyone!

So I had heard about how you could lighten your hair with lemons and yesterday I decided to give it a shot!

      You will need:

• Lemons
• Juicer
• Water
• Bowl
• Sunshine
• Towel

 Now, here's what you do:

Firstly, you need to decide how many lemons you will need to use

for short hair, 1-2 lemons

for medium hair, 2-3 lemons

for long hair 3-4 lemons

Next, you juice your lemons

Remove any seeds/bits and pour the juice into a bowl then add some water until there is enough of the mixture to cover your hair (I used 4 tablespoons) Be careful not to dilute it too much or else the mixture won't be strong enough to lighten your hair!

After you have done that, pour the mixture over your hair covering from root to tip. I went outside for this step and I wore a towel around my shoulders.

Then all you have to do if sit out in the sun until your hair is dry! When it does dry completely I washed my hair and let it dry naturally! Easy Peasy!

Then all you have to do is enjoy your new lightened hair :)

My hair after:

So as you can see, there is a noticible difference! I'm really happy with the results and it is supposed to last for a little more than a month.

Hope you enjoyed,

Until next time...

*This method mightn't work on everyone, but it's worth a try! You would get better results if you have blonde/light brown hair.*

The 8 Week No Heat Challenge!

I have decided to take on the 8 week no heat challenge. This entails using absolutely no heat on your hair for 8 whole weeks.

My hopes are that by the end of the challenge, my hair won't be damaged, and that it will also be longer and in better condition. I have started by trimming my hair by half an inch.

To help me along, I am going to use hair growth shampoo, eat food that encourages hair growth and I am going to take hair supplements.

At the moment, my hair is 38cm from root to tip and it reaches just around my armpits.

(This picture is of my hair when it's wet, because it's hard to tell how long it is when it dries) 

(my hair when dry)

I will be doing a more detailed post about the products I am using and the food I am eating.

Until next time...

LBD: Little Black Dress

 LBD: A wardrobe essential

Yesterday, I picked up this LBD in H&M for only €14.95 I love it!   

This dress has inspired me to do a post on LBD's and why every girl should own one!

An LBD or Little Black Dress is a wardrobe must have. It is so versatile and can be used for nearly every occasion. You can forever rely on your LBD it is a really timeless piece of clothing and it will never go out of style.

Imagine your little black dress as a blank canvas, you can dress it down or up depending your age, the event or your mood. For example, paired with a jacket or flats for daytime or with more ornate jewellery and accessories for evening time. There are so many different shapes and styles of LBD's so you're sure to find one that suits you.

Jewellery and shoes are the easiest way of transforming your little black dress. Your options are endless, but you can guarantee that it is the most reliable thing in your wardrobe and you will always find yourself going back to it.

Some LBD quotes:

“You can wear black at any time.

You can wear it at any age.

You may wear it to almost any occasion.

A little black frock is essential to a woman's wardrobe.”

-Christian Dior-

“The black dress is the embodiment of women's power. It's very stark, direct, and to the point.”

-Alexander Mc Queen-

Hope you liked!

Until next time...
