From Rapunzel to Lady Godiva, Princesses in tales and history are often famed for their beautiful hair and I’m sure many of us would also like soft, shiny, healthy hair even if not quite so long! After writing the first two parts of my skin care article I’ve had a lot of requests and great suggestions for a Hair Care lesson. However I think there are so many sites out there with fantastic information on hair, growing long hair, looking after it and even dying hair naturally that instead I would like share with you my favourite links and some excellent ones that have been sent to me so you may peruse them at your leisure.

Rapunzel’s Delight
A huge in depth resource for Princesses who have or would like to grow Rapunzel-like locks! Lots of information on health and lifestyle topics as well as remedies to make your own shampoos, conditioners and rinses. Also have a look at their galleries of historical photos featuring women with floor length hair.

Long Locks Salon
This forum is a great place to discuss various hair care tips and read up on what others reccomend for your particular hair colour and length. Some great advice for dyed hair and different styling ideas too, my favourite section is the Au Natural board. Thank you to Dalliann for this link!

Henna for Hair
Everything you ever wanted to know about dying your hair naturally using Henna and Indigo. You can achieve fiery red to auburn locks using Henna as a hair dye or black with Indigo. The two can be combined for various shades of brown. I found this site fascinating, as someone against using the harsh chemicals in salon dyes on my own scalp, I may even try dying my own hair with Henna soon! I’ll let you know how it goes.

Nocturne - Vintage Hairstyles
Vintage hair styles can be adorable or glamorous, from Shirley Temple ringlets to classic finger wave, Nocturne shows you how to create these looks. I want to try out their tutorial for pin curls some time, the style is so cute! I’m sure the rag curls tutorial will be helpful to Lolitas who want to achieve those beautiful ringlets.

How to Make a Daisy Chain
For a bit of fun and to decorate your beautiful locks, why not make a daisy chain or other floral wreath? Flowers have been used as hair accessories for time immemorial and they still look beautiful today. In the Victorian era it was popular to choose fresh flowers that match your ensemble to decorate your hair with, although these days we tend to use fake flowers. I remember making daisy chains whenever we went to the park, and this is exactly how we made them! Try it yourself, it will bring out your inner child and make you feel like a fairy princess.
