No heat hair curls

So,  on my no poo journey,  I've realized heat is a bad thing.  So trying to find ways to do my hair sans heat.  Figured out that sock buns and head band curls work from others.  Last night I tried a sock bun and tonight I'm trying head band curls.  Sock bun didn't work as well because my wasn't damp.  So tryingthat one again later.  In the morning I'll post finished results of my head band curls.  forgive the sans makeup,  it's night and I'm heading to bed. 

And here is my hair the next afternoon!!

Diy detangler

So tonight I'm making a batch of my detangler. This is a great recipe for kids and adults.  100% natural.  I know my daughter and I love it. I will post the recipe here shortly.

Recipe I Use:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of water
• 1/4 cup marshmallow root
• 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tablespoon of jojoba oil
• 5-10 drops of lavender essential oil
• Aloe Vera juice

Simmer the water and the marshmallow root for about 20 minutes.  Allow it to cool, then strain the liquid through a cheesecloth, and add in the rest of the ingredients (sans aloe). Then put it in a spray bottle, top it off with aloe, and tame that wild hair.

What this blog is about

I am making an attempt to change my lifestyle into something more natural. Make my own things without the chemicals that store bought products have. This will be a blog of my adventures with making things, how I felt they turned out for me and any tips and tricks I find. All while working full time, being a single mother, and going to college. Let the fun begin :)
