Day 70, Cartagena: New life, new style.

Copying from my Instagram (@miliaxxo): happiness really is when your hair is so short that on the beach you can just let it be free!
Or more like new climat, new style. One month in Cartagena and I had enough. Heat, humidity, wind and salt water were slowly but surely killing my beautiful, long hair. Besides, I had to have it tied up anyway because during the day it’s very hot and in the evening very windy. So I finally decided to have it cut. And because 1) I don’t like doing things half way through and 2) my hair grows super fast, I went a bit crazy and my hair is now some 25 cm shorter than what it was. You can imagine how I held my breath when the hairdresser took the scissors, held on my ponytail and started to cut. 
Here’s what’s left of my hair:

I didn’t want them to throw it away, I’m going to find out where I can donate it!

​And here’s how I look: (fitting room photo shooting after the hairdresser's and no, I didn't even buy that top)

I haven’t had this short hair in exactly 10 years. It feels weird but so light and refreshing!
 
For those who wonder, no I still haven’t dyed my hair since more than three years. I’m now even blonder than usually because I spend my days in the sun and because I regularly do a natural lightening treatment, a tip I got from my Parisian friend M. For those who know French, the detailed instructions can be found on her beauty and hairstyle website: here. The recipe is very simple: 1. Mix chamomile and honey with a conditioning treatment (preferably without paraben), 2. Apply it to dry hair, 3. Cover your hair with plastic wrap and a towel to keep it warm, 4. Wait one hour, 5. Rinse well. I swear it works, your hair will get not only blonder but also softer and brighter!

Merci Mathilde!

Even if you don’t want blond hair, I still suggest you take a look at M’s blog, here is the link, and try out one of her amazing hair style creations. M, you could now come up with something nice for short hair, would you? :)

Ps. Shampooing, soin, massage de tête, coupe, brushing = 25 euros. Ca va!

Merci Emilia pour ton partage de mon blog ! Je suis super contente que le soin éclaircissant et adoucissant te plaise ! J'adore ta nouvelle coupe, ça te va à ravir ! Je ne manquerai pas de faire un tuto spécial Emilia :) Pour tes cheveux je trouve ça génial que tu veuilles les donner, j'ai entendu parler de cette association qui propose de faire des perruques pour des enfants ayant perdu leurs cheveux à la suite de chimio, ça peut être une idée ! Va voir leur site, c'est super bien fait et expliqué ! http://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/donate-hair/
Gros bisous

Merci Mathilde! En attendant de ton tuto spécial Emilia. ;) Cool, je vais checker l'association, je pensais à un truc de ce genre, pour faire des perruques pour ceux qui ont perdu leurs cheveux. Mais faut que je voie comment faire en pratique, comme je suis en Colombie, s'il y a quelque chose ici. Je vais pas envoyer mes cheveux à l'autre bout du monde non plus. :)

Bisous! xx
