STYLE ATTEMPT: ROLL UNDER (FAILED)
26 JanI attempted a style on my TWA a while ago that was similar to what I viewed over the web and was not satisfied (this was before the henna). After I was asked if I had bald spots in my hair I knew my style did not pass 
.
Will I attempt this style again? Ummmm I think I will wait until I have more hair

HOW THE MIND WORKS
25 JanAs you all know I started reading this book by Dr. Joseph Murphy titled The
- Photo Credits: http://topnews.in
Power of Your Subconscious Mind and at the end of every chapter the author writes ideas worth remembering. Here are some thoughts I find worth remembering…
1. Think good and good follows. Think evil, and evil follows. You are what you think all day long.
2. Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It accepts what your conscious mind decrees. If you say, ” I can’t afford it,” your subconscious works to make it true. Select a better though. Decree, “I’ll buy it. I accept it in my mind.”
3. You have the power to choose. Choose health and happiness. You can choose to be friendly, or you can choose to be unfriendly. Choose to be cooperative, joyous, friendly, lovable, and the whole world will respond. This is the best way to develop a wonderful personality.
HENNA TURNED MY HAIR DARK BROWN AUBURN LOOKING
24 JanHey Coilys so I tried henna the other day on my hair and now my hair is a dark brown auburn looking. Before applying the henna I researched for months and read that applying henna would not change the color of your hair if it is dark but I guess for me that did not work. My henna experience overall was a bit messy and I really do not know what it did to my hair (I do not think anything happened which is a good thing in a way). Will I Henna again?? Yes, but the summer time for dying purposes.
Here are photos:
If you look closely my edges are more auburn/brown than my hair overall
