NightBlooming

I recieved my package from NightBloming today. I've been so eager to get it!

The book is so beautiful! My pictures can't do it justice.

As a patreon to Melissa I got to choose the number and bookmark.

Five oil samples from her book and also selkie and dragons blood. How great isn't it to be able to read a book and to have oils, smelling like the characters?

The oils smells lovely and I can't decide which to try first!

You'll been given reviews of all the oils and the book here, when I've tried them all and read the book.

The salve and detangler are stuff that I've ordered before and love. I also have a full size of the Aurelia oil and it's one of my favorite hair products!

I'm truly addicted to NighBlooming and I'm thinking about making a post about all of the stuff that I've tried, somewhere in the future. Is this something that you would like to see?

Mid thigh lenght!

Since this was my goal when I began growing my hair 12 years ago, this is a huge milestone for me!

I did of course extend that goal a few years ago.

115 cm. I'm hoping to reach knee by the end of 2020...

How about some music?

I'm thinking about starting to share some of the music I'm listening to, here again. Would you be interested in that?

My journey to black hair with henna and indigo

So here's the second part about henna and indigo. (First part here) This part is about my journey.

Here's my natural haircolor. Mars 2014.

August 2014

I used henna for a while, before starting the process of getting it black.

The first time I used indigo, I used the two step method, but since I couldn't find any good instructions, I had to experiment a bit on my own with time and how to mix it.

January 2015

After the first/first few applications, I got a reddish brown color.

One thing that I should mention here, is that I'm lazy. I mostly went a few months between applications, so the process would have been quicker, if I had done it more often.

Mars 2015

November 2015

After a while, I got it black, but even without washing my hair, it faded to brown in a week.

Mars 2016

But I didn't give up. I continued to dye my hair with henna and indigo and it began to stay black longer. After a while I was able to do roots and not all of my hair everytime.

April 2016

Eventually I had to do full head applications only twice a year and now once. My hair doesn't fade much at all.

August 2017.

February 2019.

Roots september 2019.

So was it worth it, can I recommend it and how long will I keep this up?

It was and is worth it for me. I can have my favorite hair color without damaging my hair! Now I only do my roots every other to third month or so and a full head touch up once a year. So while it takes a full day, I still don't have to do it that often.

If anyone else are sure that they want black hair for a long time and are ready put in some time and effort, I do recommend it!

September 2019

I will continue to do this until my hair becomes grey. Not just a few hairs, but when it starts to truly become grey. Then I will grow out the grey and it will take years. But hey, I'm 28. My mother's soon 57 and still not grey and I think that I take after her, so I'll probably keep this up for many more years!
