Flechtwerk: Review and Preview 2015 - 2016

Hello Lovelies! 

Looking back on the last year, so many things have happened in my life and hair just became a random aspect that was there but nothing I focused on. On the contrary, I cut back from 115 cm to 92 cm! Thigh length back to hip / waist length. I do like my new look, it is easier to manage but my up-do's became smaller and well my all time favourite braid is not great anymore because of the amount of layers that i got. 

This is a picture during summer before the new cut:

Beyond classic length, super long hair during summer.

Now this is my current length:

Layered new Hair Cut

I do have to admit that i enjoy my shorter tresses a lot. I think the length I was most happy with was about  1m. I still have 8 cm to go as a goal for 2016. About the layers I am not sure.. I love them when my hair is down or in a half up, but whenever I am trying an up-do they become  a nuisance..

This is how my hair looks now when it is all up:

Goals I want to reach in 2016:

• More length! 1 meter is my holy-grail hair length I think :o)
• Add more moisture with my Aloe-Vera treatments.
• Make more hair products! I am excited to do my first solid shampoo bars :)
• Add content on a regular basis.
• Learn more hairstyles - e.g. french rope braiding and french fishtail braiding. Maybe start a Youtube Channel?  

I am content with my natural hair colour at the moment. They are auburn and have some copper lights added by my rinsable goldenred toner that I use (Accent, Feuermohn).

I am excited to read the girls hair posts! Have a look at Heike at Haselnussblond , Wuscheline , Lenja our forrest fairy , Nessa from Haartraum and our Mermaid at Nixenhaar. 

New Year Wishes

Hello Lovelies!

I know I am a terrible blogger, I had to take a break due to personal circumstances aka my incredible stressful workload. I have been working in a new department for 6 months now and I can tell it has been a challenge. As I am always a very cheerful sunny person, I still got to pick the bright side.

The positive side:

• New Blogging inspiration! Some articles I have been working on are about Anxiety and how to cope with stress as well as overcome loneliness. It is important that you know how to self-heal. If you are not going to take care of yourself no one will. And remember that you are always loved. 
• I cut my hair! Yes I did it!! I was a little overwhelmed, my hair was too long at work. Now I do have to figure out what I want to do with it in the future. Will I again grow it past my thighs? I would really like to start a nature inspired hair style series. Like me and my braids in the forest or sth. like that :D
• New hair care recipes. I love hair care. I love making up new products. One of the goals I have is to make solid shampoo bars. I hope I can start making them soon :)
• New minimalist outlook. I have been thinking about consume, waste and sustainability. I would like to incorporate more of these topics on not/hair related blog days.
• Blog more regularly. I hope I can keep this up. I would like to update my content every two weeks. Hopefully I can start Flechtwerk Posts with my lovely long haired friends again.

My wishes for you:

I hope you will have a wonderful new year full of love, family, health and happiness. I wish that you smile often and sing your song louder than before. I wish you to be happy and even on the days when everything seems to be grey I wish that you seen your own little light spark inside of you ignite and that you inner voice will say silently, I will try again tomorrow. I wish that you create something new, draw a painting and see someone you love smile. I wish that you dance like no one is looking and be silly even when everyone is looking. I am sending you all my love,
