Easter Grass


Remember back on February 12th when I encouraged you to grow your own Easter grass? Now is the perfect time to start your grass so it will be ready on Easter (April 12th). Click here for the directions.

Now - a completely different topic. I have 2 tips for beautiful hair. They are pretty basic.

This is pretty much what I looked like before I cut my long hair.

1. Unless you have very oily or short hair, don't wash it everyday. Longer hair is like a silk shirt. Would you wash a silk shirt everytime you wore it? No, you wouldn't because the shirt would quickly begin to look old and worn. Same deal with your hair. So if your hair is longer skip a day or 2 (if you can stand it!) it is so much better for your hair and often I find that second day hair is much cuter than first day hair (and think of all the time you will save!).

2. When you shampoo, apply shampoo to your scalp and hair right next to the scalp. You don't need to shampoo the ends every time you shower, that just dries them out. The sudsy water rinsing through the ends of your hair is enough.

And BONUS! one more tip: use a leave-in conditioner every time.

That's all I got, baby.

Thanks for the tips, Robin! I planted my wheatgrass yesterday. Just remember that you have to let the wheatberries soak for 10 hours first--Robin said it will speed up the sprouting.

Wahoo!

I am in good shape, I haven't washed my hair for 3 days. I know. Gross. Ooops, I mean, I meant to do that for the beauty of my hair.

Great tips!

I don't wash my hair every day anymore... I let it go at least 2 days... just a teeny bit of powder at the roots takes care of fluffing it up again. Not too much though or your hair looks dandruffy and white... eek

Also...When you put your conditioner in, apply at the ends first then work your way up to the scalp (opposite of shampoo) because your scalp can end up looking/feeling greasy! Great tips!

we have a few sprouts! :) Exciting!

I need all the hair advice I can get.

Ack Robin! Dave just got me worried. We have a few sprouts, but only started yesterday. When should I uncover them and attempt to find a sunny location where Henry won't destroy them? Help!

Wheat grass and hair totally relate...cha cha cha chia.
They both need a good trim.

Ditto Melissa's question: when do we take the plastic wrap off? My seeds sprouted within 24 hours!
