Today's hairstyle and outfit 27/05-20
I thought that this PalosPelos hair stick, looked good with my selfmade flexi.
Braid waves
These are the braid waves that I got from wearing my scarf braids for more than 24 hours.
Combed.
Brushed with a boar bristle brush.
I think that the waves looks very nice!
DIY. Make your own Aloe Vera gel
Aloe Vera is a great humectant. (Humectants helps to draw moisture into the hair and skin. Moisture is water and all moisturizers works like this.)
I've been making my own Aloe Vera gel for a long time and it's an important part of my hair care routine. I use the gel as it is, or in a detagnling spray.
You need:
- One or a few Aloe Vera plants (aloe barbadensis. I have several, so I'm never running out of leaves)
- A potatoe peeler
- A teaspoon
- A blender
- Something to strain the gel with
- A jar or a bottle
- Optional: vinegar, distilled water, rose water
How to do it:
- Cut off a few leaves.
- Let them "stand" for a few minuters, to allow the "yellow liquid" to escape.
- Peel of the flat part of the leaves
- Remove the "flesh" with a teaspoon
- Blend it
- You can add distilled water if you want more of a liquid, or rose water if you want it to smell nice
- For longer storage you can add a few drops of vinegar. (I like to add apple cider vinegar. It makes the gel stay fresh longer and is beneficial for both the hair and the skin.)
- Strain it to get rid of any chunks (the foam will disappear).
- Store it in the refridgerator
- It stays fresh for 1-2 months in the refridgerator
- Apply it with a spray bottle or with your hands to your hair, scalp or skin.
I use it to moisturize, add shine and slip to my hair, tame braid shread and to reduce tangles. I use it a few times a week followed up by an oil and around once a week to my scalp, by massaging it in.

An Iyarri inspired hairstyle
This hairstyle is inspired by the Iyarrichronicles by Melissa Lynn Herold.
I love the book Heavens Silhouette and I've been wanting to do a few hairstyles inspired by the book for quite some time.
The style is made from one ropebraid with a hair bead and a feather in the front. Two French rope braids and two regular braids with some more hair beads.
Since the style survived the heavy winds, I think that could fly with it.
And I had to wear belt bags!
April update
