Henna tips

Henna primarily is used for lovely lacey tattoos but I use it to dye my hair an amazing copper color. I would recommend mixing your lemon juice with hot water and then pour it into your henna powder. If you mix it with cold water it will remain chunky for a long time.

Tshirts

T-shirts are amazingly versatile. Not only can you add embelishments to or dye the already stylish classic but you can change it completely. A shirt can go from lazy day wear to something you wear out to town. You don't even have to wear what you make many people take cheap tshirts and turn them into beautiful rugs, bags, and clutches. So take a visit down to your local goodwill or thrift store, stock up on cheap shirts, and experiment.

Many Uses of Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has a multitude of uses from chapstick, stain remover, vegan substitute, lotion, hair oils, dread oil and many others. I would caution against using it as a dread oil unless you frequently wash your hair seeing as it is an organic substance and could turn your hair funky. I use quite a bit to make lip balm, you can either put the oil ,which is solidified in room temperature, directly onto your lips or you can add essential oils such as lavender, mint, and rose mary.

Painting

Now days the price for decorating your walls with nice art is high. Why pay for reprinted stocks when you could create art of your own and upcycle at the same time. Paint on cardboard, old poster board, found wooden boards. Use all kinds of tools to bring your walls to life. Use up old paint from past projects. Don't spend a single dime.

Dread extensions

Dread extensions are pretty expensive as they take time, materials, and hardwork but you can do it at home for almost no money. My parents grew theyre hair out and when they cut it they gave it to me as a disembodied pony tail.

• Seperate a section of hair from the rest and secure it with a small rubber band.
• Use a clip board and put the top of the dread under the clip.
• Back comb
• Back comb
• Back comb
• Then once you have a nice dreaded lock of hair use a tiny crochet needle to solidify your dread.
