 Since it's officially the start of Autumn I got bangs. I go to Alchemy Hair Salon and get it cut and colored by Bailey and she's pretty much amazing!  What do you think?

Does this crap really work?: Columbian Avocado Hair Mask

I always see all these DIY home beauty tips. I usually save them and think that I'll give them a shot at some point. However, I never tend to do them because later I always think "does this crap really work?" Well enough is enough! Today I am giving them a try. The first one on my list is the Columbian Avocado Hair Mask. Why this one first you ask? Well, because I had all of the ingredients already ;)

***Make sure that if you have a food allergy to any of these products DO NOT make this hair mask!!! If you're allergic to digesting these foods then most likely you'll be allergic to them topically too.***

All you need is two egg whites and a half of an avocado.

I used a food processor because it makes it easier to mix but you can do it by hand! First, I added the half an avocado into the food processor.

Next, I added the two egg whites. From the above picture you can see that using the egg shells I rocked the yolk back and forth allowing the egg white to drop into the food processor while separating the yolk. Do that with both eggs and discard the yolk. Make sure to wash your hands after this step! Even though you'll be putting raw egg on your head you don't want to be touching other things

 with it on your hands! 

Mix it! My first thought was "this looks like baby food." So once you get the same effect you'll know that it's finished mixing.

Make sure you're wearing clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Trust me, this stuff is slimy!

It feels a bit weird at first. I started on my hair part and worked it into my scalp. 

Once I covered my entire scalp it made it much easier to work it down to the tips of my hair.

Now you're head is completely covered in the Avocado Hair Mask! Let it sit for 15 minutes.

After the 15 minutes are up wash and condition your hair.

The Results: After my shower I let my hair air dry over night and I didn't add any products. I wanted to make sure I knew the exact results of the Avocado Hair Mask. When I woke I brushed out my hair and didn't see a big difference or any additional shine. I was a bit disappointed that my first try wasn't going to be a success. HOWEVER, as the day goes on I'm falling in love with it. I keep catching myself playing with my hair. From the Avocado Hair Mask it gives you just what you want from your hair, the three S's: silky, soft and smooth. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. I would say this is a more hair "pick me up." This is a fast, organic and cheap hair treatment that will leave your hair ultra-smooth!

Rag Curls

Last night I got a wild hair around 1:00 am to give rag curls a shot. I found an old T-shirt in my donate bag and cut it into many little strips. I dampened my hair and put some styling moose in it to make sure it held up. I put them in larger sections to make larger curls than the typical rag curl style. Well... when i woke up in the morning this is what came out. My hair was so huge I had to but a head band on it to tame the beast. It was definitely fun to give it a shot and i feel like a flower child today. As far as doing it again in the future... well we'll see.
