Seasonal Growth Project

I decided to take seasonal pictures in order to track my growth better (I will keep taking the monthly ones as well though). Here is the shot for 20th March 2016:

This idea came from the longhaircommunity and I decided to post my pictures on this blog as well ^^

Forest photoshoot

Today, after going at a walk through the forest with a friend, I finally had some decent picture taken of my current hair length and colour (there will be a henna routine post soon).

I quite like how they turned out, despite the cloudy weather and the 'almost spring' season which actually still looks like a late autumn..

And here is a picture of my current hair length (92 cm):

Until next time,

Failed henna lightening experiment

So, I'm not quite happy with how dark my henna colour has gotten, therefore I decided to do a strand test to lighten it. I used 9% hydrogen peroxide on a hairball and 9% hydrogen peroxide plus cone free conditioner on the other hair ball (I kept some of my shed hair with the purpose of strand testing) and I left it on for 10-11 minutes. Sadly, there was no difference after I rinsed the hair samples and compared them to the before hair, so I'm posting the pictures here:

Before using the peroxide:

After:

Perhaps I should have left it on for longer, perhaps it just doesn't lighten henna, I have no idea, but there you have the results.
