Fixing my bleached hair

Slacking allready with the blogging. :D

New stuff in World of Warcraft, so I'm slacking with eveything right now *oops* And soon Legion, the new expansion! Demons and everything evil <3

Sitting here listening to Wardruna, full volume, drinking ice coffee (in the disgusting heat!) :)

Here comes the dirty-bathroom-mirror-pics!

Before. 

My hair is blonde with almost-white highlights. 

Not happy about putting chemicals on my scalp so I'll try to stop bleaching it from now on. 

Maybe highlights later, but that wont ruin my scalp atleast.

 After.

Much more natural "growth".

Used the one to the left, was planning on using the other one on the rest of my hair, 

but I changed my mind. So, a warm brown color to avoid green hints.

It's not as coppery as it looks, it matches my own haircolor quite nicely. :)

I did it with a brush, just like in this video. Though she starts f*cking around with other colors, I just had one color on the roots and brushed it out. Turns out more smoother looking than you think it will. ^^

Instagram & some evil thoughts.

I've had an account there since the beginning of time, but blogging (...or posting pics?) has really never been my sport. I like following others instead.

Today I was fast to change my profile pic, post a pic or two - and then - one hour later, I dont feel like continuing posting stuff there. Haha. It's like when I change my blogdesign (or hair colour)!
"Aaw, that is SO pretty!" - few days later - "What was I thinking?"

And doing all that on a tiny screen? I think not! I love my huge computer screen. But here I can't use Instagram properly.
And apparently, on occasions, I really do like writing down my thoughts about things *coughs*

I might just continue here, with my new food journal... maybe. Time will tell.

Anywho! Today I baked focaccia - Paleo style :) It was pretty good! Not as good as bread of course, but this is still day 1 with Paleo, I will probably taste like heaven in a few weeks without bread. ;D
Aw, and I can't copy my pics from Instagram to here. Awesome.
Here's a link to my pic, or my Instagram, who knows... https://instagram.com/winterzmoon/


While I still feel like blogging, I want to complain a little about ...myself.
It's about my "style". I don't have a style. I have many. But noone of them shows on the outside.
I just use whatever is clean. It's not pretty. I don't do make-up anymore. I don't care. 
(Well, a little maybe, when I need to dwell among others.)
A big part of this is my weight I think. I'm not happy with the way I look. But nevermind that.
I mean the thoughts that move around in my head. 
- During the day: "Ooh, black hair, red lipstick, black boots & a nice black coat for Autumn! YES! And that foggy, dark weather <3 Or the sun on the orange leaves! The warm tea in my huge mug. Legwarmers & slippers! HALLOWEEN! I want it NOW! "
- That same night: "Aaw, but I really like having light hair... or do I? What if I bleach it, it's summer and all. And I really like those earthy tone colours... Aah, nature. Living in my dream cabin! Running around barefoot with loong, blonde hair!"

When I windowshop or look online, I fall for both type or "styles" I mentioned above. 
What the hell should a lady do with that? Lady, what a beautiful word. Anyway...

Without wanting to, I think that "If I move to a cabin in the woods, I wont care to dress properly, or put make-up on, or colour my hair etc.".
Therefor I can't decide on hair colour today - What if I go dark, then move to a cabin in the woods and start living more close to nature etc. I can't have dark hair then, or dress nicely, I need to look like I "belong" to that home... Ugh, I sound like a moron! Right?

Obsessive freaking thoughts! I think I think too much. I got too much spare time! Right? RIGHT? 

You know what I really think? That summer is EVIL! It's messing with my mind! xD

I'm such a talanted Paint-artist.

New day = New hair-thoughts!

No, I'm never going to get tired of the hair subject! ;D

Sis fixed my hair today, so now I'm light brown instead of green/beige/golden blond.
I think it's pretty close to my own haircolor, so I will now - as planned - leave it alone for as long as I can.... "can", pfft.
I still hate the thought that I use chemicals on my hair & scalp, so I've been looking into henna once again. Now that I have tried blonde & didn't like it that much, maybe it's worth using herbs even if you can't bleach them out later. I'm going to think about it for a long time... atleast over summer. ;)

This is my idol Tathariel (instagram) ^^

A redheaded elven viking, mhm!

And then I kind of regret cutting my hair off. Well, I needed to cut all of that dry stuff off, but... I still want super long hair! My favorite time of the year is Autumn (and Halloween!) so what better haircolor is there for me?!

A few new things

Dear diary,

(I missed you!)



I have a working computer again - hurray!
I've been sneaking around a little, but mostly I've been playing a bit WoW (Oops!) and hanging on Pinterest & blogs. :)

Gotten a few new shiny things, I probably wrote that last time, but hey, they're very shiny! ;D
A keyboard that glows in different colors, you can choose any color you like - SHINY!
A new huuuge monitor - SHINY!
A new graphics card - Not so shiny, but very effective!

Ah, yes, and then we have the old "can't decide what haircolor I want".
I cut off about 15-20 cm of my hair and bleached it, I'm almost blond now. I had to cut it even if I would like to have long hair - there were residues from the indigo I used once, so those parts of the hair would never be normal again, there's a little of that left even now and it's green. Not pretty - will have to cut off a little more.
Tomorrow I will throw in a darker blonde color so that it matches my own haircolor. Then, after this, I will try to leave it alone for a while until I know what damn color I would like to have.
Obviosly I didn't like the blonde very much. -.-
Then let it grow!

I bought some other shiny things today, candle light holders & an owl. :) Threw them on my bureau together with some branches and pinecones. Very pretty! Will show that later!

Was just drooling over Pinterest,

These outfits made me happy. :)

About my hair... I want it to match what I'm wearing, I want it to match ME.

So why is it so hard to just choose a color and get it over with?! Pfft. Women. LoL.

Back in space

I totally missed my background of space, with all the stars and blue-ish tones, so now it's back. :)


I've been taking a break from ze interwebz. So I missed a lot of blogposts. ^^ I'm back now, but not as much as before, not yet anyway.
And I think I needed a break from WoW also. I dont think I'm going back to it either. It's over 100 SEK per month, plus it takes so much of my time. I rather do something else of that time and money.


Some time ago I removed my earplugs to let my ears shrink back to normal piercing holes. I didn't even think about it the first 2 months, but now, oh... I don't even know. I think I miss them.
My holes did not shrink to normal anyway, I think they're about 6 mm wide still.
I might stretch them again (for the fourth time). I think I need surgery when I'm finnished with my ears. x)

Look at these pretty babies,

the top left one look like peach! <3
Jewelry from my favorite shop: Crazy Factory

I finally learned how to make a "collage" of pictures in Paint! Lol :D

Hmm, what else... Oh, I baked a AWESOME bread the other day. It is so freaking good, we were shocked! And super healthy. I will bake more of those soon and share some pics & recipe. :)

Oh and I also got sick of my red hair, AGAIN, so I dont know if I'm going back to brown or maybe try to reach my own haircolor. But for now I will leave it alone.

Coconut oil does wonders for your hair. I sleep with it in my hair - wash it in the morning and it stays soft and moist for days, and I dont even use conditioner. My hair is not dry anymore. Yay! 

Try it!

Current hair colour... & even nails!

Okay, so I wanted to be a redhead after all. I liked the brown colour, but it was just a tiny bit boring, so I used henna again. 

Herbique's Kopparröd (copper red). I had it at home, so it was just there... waiting for me to use it. 
As last time it went wine red, dark red, even darker than last time.
How? It puzzles me.
I loved it at first sight, it was so RED. But then it felt too dark. I really want a copper red / burnt orange, kind of.

I mixed the henna powder with very hot water and a tiny bit of lemonjuice that I had left in the fridge from last time. I used it right away instead of waiting for "dye release". It went just as well!

I took some pictures, with my nails included, because of how long they got (hurray!) and because of the awesome colour - wich matches red just perfect. :) 

But the haircolour came out different in every pic, so excuse all the freaking nails. 

NAILS EVERYWHERE!

I guess the lenght of my hair is still in bad shape, because the henna didn't really stick to it. 

It's like 50 % of my hair that is dried out and weird, so I thought I might just cut it off... maybe. 

It have just gotten long again. :( 

Since it got so dark, I will do a bleach bath or two, then use another brand of henna to get the copper/orange-red that I want. 

I hope I can fix the colour of the lenghts too, so that I dont have to cut it.

Oh, and I'm re-painting my bedroom! It was(is) such a horrible dark, blue colour, it darkens my whole room to the point that almost all my plants die.

I bought a colour called Mocca.
(I have no idea what the last tenants, or the owner, have done to the ceiling, but it's not pretty. I might fix that too, in the near future.)

It was time for a change again.

It's that time of the year, when your mind gets a little darker. But it has been sneaking up on me for a long time now... and I hope that this time - it is here to stay!
I miss the all-black-everything. I keep drooling over pictures on tumblr.

For the 100th time, I have decided what to do with my hair... (or have I?) Well, it is back to that plan I had last autumn - growing it long. Looong. No dreads. I want it long, wavy, shiny and above all, comfortable to sleep on and easy to wash.
I am thinking of trying Lush henna "caca noir". I feel that my hair is still a bit crappy since all that bleaching, so natural colours would be best. That would be best for my overall health anyway.
Those chemicals. *sigh*

I've been home from work for about 6 weeks now. At last I went to the doctor and got the help I needed, so now I'm taking medicin for anxiety/depression. The medicin can make your anxiety much worse for a few weeks and it may not help at all for up to 3-6 months. I feel a little better from time to time, but I still have nightmares and some other issues... I know, it sounds wonderful. ;)

On thursday I'm seeing a psychologist of sorts. We'll see how that works out... I'm sceptical.


I have a few projects I want to play around with at home. Fixing my lamp, a little table and a bureau. The pictures in my head of these things are so damn pretty, but I can't seem to get to work with it.
One day! Right?

 

 

 

Drooling objects from my tumblr.

The endless hair story and a little food

Super depressed deluxe. That is how I would describe how I feel right now.
But hey, life goes on... I really try NOT no feel like crap.
Catta was here this weekend and I felt a little better. She's my sunlight! Lol :P

Anywho!

I made a proper LCHF dinner today. I like cooking!

Eating at the moment...

It's a good thing I'm not a photographer for a foodmagazine. ;D

It's very yummy, though!

I have a new time schedule at work, so now I work three days a week instead of five - monday, wednesday and friday. It feels better this way. "Of course it does!" people say, but they don't know the first thing about my health.

And then we got the hair...
OH, THE HORROR!
I know.
But I like to experiment and document eveything! :)
As I said before - I didn't like the red after all. Figures.
I washed it with a mix of vitamin c, head & shoulders and lemon juice. No effect. But it was henna, I would guess it works better on chemical haircolour.

We threw in Mood "ash blond". (Again with Mood - the sucky brand? Yes! The one thing Mood is good at is covering yellow/orange tones!)
10 min before I needed to wash the haircolour out - the water is turned off! Finito. Gone.
It turns out there is a huge waterleak in the middle of the street. AWESOME!
After waiting 40 min past my timer - I took some water we had in the zink. Not very yummy and ice cold. But I rather have some shit in my hair than burning my scalp!
Later that evening the water comes on and I could wash my gross hair - hurray!

So now my hair is BROWN. Not ash blonde. That's what you get when you use Mood.
Or maybe that's just how my hair works? It's strange how it works so well on others...

I liked the brown in the beginning. I still don't dislike it. But I want my dark blonde hair back. As I did all those other times.
I've e-mailed a hairdresser about my hair history and asked them if they would be able to help me lighten it or something, but that wont happen any time soon. Maybe I can afford it in november.
For now I'll just leave it alone. the new haircolour is not going anywhere... I guess that is one of the few positive things about this colour.

In daylight, inside by the window, no lightning.

Inside, lightning.

Huge difference, thanks to the henna.

Maybe that's why it got so dark?

I even thought of cutting it all off. I think I've mentioned that before also... But I have a very round face, it would look so bad with short hair! And I mean short, short - 8 cm. Those 8 cm are almost virgin hair. Almost! Damn you, indigo!

I still want dreads. Blonde dreads! AGAIN! I didn't even had time to get the brown ones before changing my mind. 

Can you make tags in blogger? Do I write them here?

I'm gonna try! xD

#mood #askblond #ashblonde #henna #haircolour #lchf #hairdye

Head-sausages!

Some more dread-thoughts & haircolouring. *Sigh* :P

My favorite dreads has always been this girls'...

... and I have watched her videos for years. I went in on youtube today and watched a few of them again - (I always check out somthing about dreads before I go make some of my own, even if I know the process etc.) - and it felt like... home? It is a nice feeling, but hard to describe. Uh yeah... She seems awesome and I've always loved her dreads... I guess that's why. ^^

I have changed my mind SO many times about what haircolour I want, and yeah, it always comes back to blonde. Like hers. Not white or yellow blonde. I want my hairgrowth to blend in. Sunkissed tips/lengths, kind of.

I coloured my hair a week ago to get rid of the red henna I put in. I went for a "ash blonde", very close to my own haircolour, but I chose the brand "Mood" once again and it came out dark brown. I never learn. xD But hey, almost all the hints of red are gone, there's just a little orange left closest to my scalp, probably because of my hairs' oil and stuff.
I like it and I will make my dread extensions brown too...

...and then(!), when my hair has grown about 8-10 cm, I will cut the brown parts off, leaving only my natural haircolour, and the put in blonde extensions! Dreads of course.
This is if I still want to have those beloved blonde dreadlocks.
For now I like the brown and I have craved for brown dreads for a while. ^^

Oh, these plans...

I bought real human hair extensions on Tradera (a part of Ebay), but the hairstrands were very corse, so I think it's the worst quality human hair you can actually get - asian hair.
Obviously asian hair is absolutly gorgeous on asians, but their hairtype do not match the europeans. So back to square one. Still need hair.
Next pay I'll check Tradera again, there's a few people selling their hair from "Rapunzel" and their hair quality is pretty good.

So, soon! Soon I will get them head-sausages! <3

Another dreadhead-inspiration is Rania. She got her dreads remade the other day. I dont think I will ever stop drooling over other peoples' dreadlocks. Hopefully I have some of my own to pat & drool over soon! ^^
Actually that may very well happen.... if I sleep very tight, I drool. Awesomestuff!

I just have to!

...report my tiny weightloss and my shrinking waist! :D
I've been on LCHF / Primal Paleo now for 9 days. Woo! And today I measured myself etc.
-2,5 cm from the waist and -1,2 kilos. *PAT MYSELF*
I'm doing it. And I even eat chocolate at weekends. Last friday I ate an entire pizza. Oops.
But hey, the journey continues the day after that.
Previously when I've been "doing" LCHF and what not - I just gave up right after I ate some sugar. I thought - "Might aswell eat bread now, I've already screwed things up!".
Now I have the strenght (or whatever) to continue, even if I screw it up.

Except the pizza I have eaten no bread at all, no potatoes, no rice, no pasta. And I dont miss it one bit.
Maybe except a sandwich every now and then - but then I'll just shove my face full of the good stuff instead = cheese, soft cheese, ham, tomato, butter etc. So that's probably what I'm after when I crave a sandwich - the yummy stuff on top of it. ^^

I'm good!

Next week it's time for that shopping-spree. Yay!

(From tumblr)

I want brown leather boots.

That was fast!

And just like that - I've made up my mind about my hair. I want it brown, or "dirty dish-blonde", my own haircolor! It depends on how far I can push it with bleach.
Since my hair went green last time I bleached, I will do bleach baths this time, plus, my hair got its' dose of awesomeness from the last time I henna'ed (3 weeks ago!) so it is in perfect shape - again.
So it's only fair to start ruining it again, right?! x)
I even thought about cutting it all off, leaving about 8 cm, because these 8 cm are perfectly healthy, and then put dreadlock extensions in it. But I've never done that before, so what if they fall off? Hmm, I'll just keep it and see what I can do about the color.

Actually, before I went red this time, I was thinking of brown.
I guess this last henna experience was just an impuls thing. As usual. But atleast my ugly-colored, gummy hair was saved!

I got a little more money this month than I expected, so I even have the cash for extensions! Yay!
But, for a person like me, maybe it's best to just wait a little longer before I go shopping for stuff I may not even use... It's not like human hair extensions are cheap. :/

This was right after I colored my hair with Lush's "caca brun". A nice brown. :) And it's very close to my own haircolor. With age comes darker hair... I was a almost white blonde when I was little.

Decor plans for my bedroom

Jotex.se is a Swedish home decor online shop. Since I want a beige/brown colour on my bedroom walls, I'm looking for new curtains and blankets and stuff. :) I want it to be warm, cosy and autumny.
I found a very pretty series of thingies called "Huntingdale". I love it! It screams huntinglodge and autumn. ;D

Huntingdale on Jotex.se

I dont like the silvery thingies the curtain is hanging by, 

so I'm going to buy the fabric and make my own curtains. :) 

And maybe some pillows...

These things would obviously look better in an old cabin och a-not-too-modern-house, but you do the best you can with what you have. :)

Life in general is ok, could've been better. I've been home from work 3 days now. I feel a little crappy. Mostly in my mood, but also physically. Tummyache, headache, nausea, lightheaded. This has been going on for over a week. It's nothing I cant live with, but it's getting boring. -.-

I have decided that I will get dreads again. No matter how I wear my hair right now, it's no fun. I dont like it. I dont like the look of it. And I miss my dreads, as I've said 100 times already... But I will start with just a few ones, just to be sure. ;D

(The buying human hair extensions experience!)

...I just need to get some new human hair extensions, since these I have are not 100% human hair. Currently I'm arguing with the company about it - they refuse to take their shitty quality hair back (a-holes), so now I've contacted some firm that help with these things.   

Oh, yeah, they want me to send the hair back (without sending me my money back) so that they can test it and see if it's human hair or not... I feel like I'm getting screwed over... again.

I did a test myself btw! I took one straw of the human hair and one straw of the plastic hair, burned them with direct fire and yeah, you know the smell of burned hair? The human hair was actually human. Wow!

The other straw, one of those that refuses to absorb any haircolour what so ever - it melted and gave no scent at all. Plastic fantastic!

Maybe it's worth mentioning the company with shitty hair - fashiongirls.dk.

But I've read on forums that this can happen with any company, even rapunzelofsweden.se.

Maybe the companies are the ones getting fooled by their suppliers?

My beloved stretched ears

Aaah, back to 16 mm (or 5/8").
So I've been thinking alot about how I want to look. How I see myself. I was so sure I wanted smaller gauges... and maybe add some other piercings in my ears. Probably because I think that looks more feminine than bigger holes, or something...

I wanted new (size 14 mm) plugs. Organic, handmade, pretty plugs - Etsy!
And there are sooo many pretty plugs and tunnels and jewelry and what not.
Then I realised that pretty plugs look better the bigger they are. ;)
I found many treasures! :D
So here I am, back to 16 mm holes. They had not shrunk one bit. *Stuck with big holes forever*  - And I'm ok with that! Because I'm not a fan of jewelry. Not ordinary jewelry anyway. I'm not that type that puts on her pretty, little earrings every morning. No. Mine are just there. Always if I want to. They do not get stuck onto things. They are not in the way of anything. Ever. I love them!
It has to be comfy. I want to be able to sleep with it - that's how comfy I am. Maybe a bit lazy too.

Same thing goes for necklaces. It has to be comfy. You know those chains who keeps getting stuck in your hair? GAH! Hate it! I get so annoyed I just rip off the hair, with the necklace.
(I regret one of those moments by the way, I had a bit of hair back there that was shorter than the rest, just hanging... lol.)
So I was thinking - leather. A simple crystal or stone of some sort, wrapped with leather or silver, hanging by a leather band. Perfect. But even that may be a bit too much for me, but if it's pretty enough - and even have some sort of magical property to it - it might just be worth putting it on every morning. ;)

I have even cosidered a ring(!), but it has to be a big one, not a tiny one that gets stuck everywhere. But that wont happen until I can bare with a necklace. I know myself too well.

Do you wear any jewelry on daily basis? When I'm out among people, I sometimes feel like I'm the only one without necklaces and rings.  :o

Treasures!

Henna once again!

I kind of missed my red hair. My hair had this awful color, bleached brownish red, with hints of grey and green. Sounds lovely, right?

I didnt even get to blonde before getting sick of it. 

I thought of dark brown, but I dont think that would've been enough for me. 

So I went back to henna! And this time I know that I cant bleach it.

I tried Herbique this time. After a lot of google'ing I found that Herbique is more red than other brands I've seen.

I'm in love with my new hair. It will match a green vest perfectly. And it will look pretty with my black and grey clothes. Yeah. I dont wear clothes anymore by the way, haha. Not at home anyway. The heat was just on its' way out when a thunderstorm hit us - now it's extremly humid & warm again.

I WANT AUTUMN, GODDAMNIT!

(The American weather-gods says we will get a sunny autumn and a very, very cold winter. Fuck yeah! I mean... Awesome!) ;D

Before

 After.

I love it! It's red, not orange. <3 

The most damaged parts of my hair need more henna of course, but overall the result is awesome!

(LOOK, CATTA, IT'S RED!) xD

 Then I went and mixed my Crearome Henna - I wanted to color my remy hair also.

 Before.

Some parts colored with chemical dye. Wich failed - it's almost pink.

 After.

As usual Crearome's Henna is very orange. 

I took my left-over Herbique and dyed some of the hair again. 

So the top hair is Herbique's - much redder - much better!

Thank you, Herbique.

Oh, and by the way, we have this temporary, sucky internet at the moment, so I will start reading all of your lovely blogs again as soon as we get the proper internet working again. <3
