My hair year
Another year of maintaining and you can see the result!
Christmas - Hair and outfits
For the 24:th when we celebrate Christmas in Sweden, I wore a selfmade dress.
And loose hair.
My family though that I looked like a queen in my dress. And my oldest nephew was impressed by my dress and wondered where I got it. He was shocked to learn that I made it myself.
The 25th. Some yoga before getting ready to celebrate with the inlaws.
Two French tope braids a flower and a hair bead.
Very colourful!
Hair horns
This is why I made myself horns. I wanted to do hair horns!
Halloween is getting closer and I made myself horns

I made a hairnet with beads and used the leftover ribbon from when I uptaded my dress.
15 years of growing my hair
It's 15 years now since I first started this journey. How did this happen!?
I cut all of my hair to the same length (around 0,5 cm, so a little shorter than in the picture), but kept bangs to have less of a buzz cut. But since I hate having bangs, so I soon cut that off too.
Back then I used a really dull scissor to cut my hair and would continue to do so for years. My poor hair!
Don't ask me why, but I bleached my hair... Above is the "carrot phase".
Blond and abused hair.
And of course, I soon missed having black hair.
I decided to for the last time in my life, bleach my hair, before dying it red and then go back to black once and for all. And thus the "carrot phase" again.
I also used to let a friend heat style my hair.
I really enjoyed red hair, but what a hassle to keep it red!
After I had to wash it with some special stuff before my elbow surgery, most of the dye washed out and I decided to let the bleached hair grow out and slowly cut it away before dying it black.
Before jumping in to the shower to do my first CO-wash.
This is what my natural hair color looked like after a year of CO-washing and when most of the bleach had been cut away.
I decided to never again use chemical dyes again and wanted to be a henna head for a while, before starting the process of getting it black with indigo.
The process of getting it black. It took some time and effort, but it was worth it. Also, my hair finally started to get longer for real, now that I now longer mistreated it.
Black again.
Having kept up with some heavy S&D and minimal trims for years. My hemline was starting to fairytale.
My thin ends reached knee by the end of 2020. I've been maintaining at knee since then and will continue for a while longer. The ends were actually thinner than you can see in the picture.
Having reached this length. I still want longer hair, but am in no hurry to get there. Patience truly is the key to growing long hair.
But it's also important to have fun! Have fun with your hair and treasure every milestone!
Although my hair would have been a lot longer if I would have taken as good care of it all the way, as I'm doing today. I have no regrets! I had a lot of fun trying different colors and doing stuff with my hair!
And now I am having fun with different updos and hair toys.
But also in the lovely community I've found of fellow hair interested people, in different corners on the internet, such as The Long Hair community, Instagram and HårIfokus.

Happy Easter!
In Sweden, easter is when witches are said to fly to Blåkulla. Often with a black cat. (Mine said that they would stay and watch our home this year.) And children of all genders dress up like "påskkärringar". The meaning is pretty much "easter bitches". That's witches in head scarves, skirts/dresses and usually with red cheeks. And then they walk from door to door asking for candy.
In Sweden easter is a lot bigger than Halloween! And we also decorate stuff with feathers and paint eggs.
What Easter traditions do you have in your country?
Happy Easter!
People have been going on about me needing easter decorations and how easter feathers is a must.
There's feathers everywhere where the ducks have been. But what am I meant to decorate?
Must be the easter witch!
