Beautiful hair therapy at home! (Very easy)

Summer season is here, well almost;
which reminds me, have you noticed how your hair become healthier in summers as compared to winters?

Do you know why?

Well i am no scientist, but my brain came up with this reason (that i believe is true) :

You know how the pores on our skin and scalp open up when they come in contact with anything warm/hot, and close with contact of cold thing?

So, in summers our pores open up due the heat in the air around us and vice-versa in winters. Which means whatever you apply to your skin or hair will absorb better. Great, right?

Hence, summer is the best time to give your hair the much needed therapy after harsh winters. I am not going to share fancy hair treatments in this post (there will be another post on it when i get over with my exams) but i am gonna share few oil treatments which are already in your kitchen, to get healthy hair.

1. Coconut oil rejuvenating treatment: Dry, dull, damaged, over processed, heat damaged, frizzy curls, you name it! Coconut oil is the solution to all your problems girls and boys. Coconut oil is the only oil that penetrates the deepest in your skin and hair super easily. It helps retain the natural protein of hair hence making it more healthier.

Treatment method:

• Simply take one or two spoons of coconut oil ( virgin or simple, both are good).

• Massage the oil into your hair. Don't use nails on the scalp ever, it will damage the skin and may cause dandruff as well, which is nothing but the peeled skin of the scalp.



•Massage using your fingertips and cover up with shower cap to trap the heat (If you don't have one use a normal plastic bag to cover up or even a hot towel).

• Let this sit for atleast 20-30 minutes or overnight if you can.

• Wash off normally, make sure all the oil is out though. You should see results after the first or second time of using this.

2. Olive oil treatment: Being rich in vitamin E this oil makes a great mask for dry and damaged hair.



Treatment method:

•Apply as much oil as required according to the length of your hair.
• Leave on for 20-30 minutes or one hour. Cover with a shower cap/plastic bag/hot towel.
• Wash off normally.

Tips and other information:

1. You can use both the hair treatment on dry or damp hair. Try out both to see what works best for you. :)

2. Massage atleast for two minutes to help your hair absorb better.

3. Dont massage vigorously, use you fingertips and massage gently.

4. Olive oil may weigh down your hair, it depends on your hair type. In this case mix half amount of coconut oil and half amount of olive oil and use this.

5. Actually anyone can use this. Just mix equal quantity of both the oils and use. This way you will get benefits of both the oil at the same time.

6. Its very important that whatever treatment you use homemade or any product, focus on the tips and ends of your hair as they are the most damaged and damage-prone part.

How To Wash Hair The Correct Way:

•Start by soaking you hair fully with lukewarm water ( yes, even in summers) This will actually open the pores and the dirt trapped in will be shampooed fully.

•Always make sure the last rinse is done with cold water, be it after shampoo or conditioner. This will close the pores and the goodness of shampoo, conditioner or any product that you used will be trapped in.

•Lastly, the most important tip is to let your hair dry naturally.
No rubbing towel on hair roughly or blow drying.

Happy healthy hair sugar's!

This pack will help those stubborn scars and blemishes fade away with time.

• Bowl and a spoon

 

• Sandalwood powder

• Rosewater.
• Any clean brush to apply the mask (very, very optional)

 

Method:

• Take 1 to 1 & a 1/2 spoon of sandalwood powder in a clean bowl and add one spoon full of rose water in it.
• Add more rose water until the mixture forms a medium consistency paste.
• Apply this all over your face and neck.
• Wash off after the pack starts drying, with cold water.

 

Sandalwood is very soothing and cooling on the face. 

Rose water is an natural toner, hence it will help clean the pores of your skin well.

Hope you give this a try.

 

Until next time. :)

 

Home made face masks to treat acne!

By Namita,

Before we start off, keep in mind:

Always, ALWAYS moisturize after washing the pack off.
Always apply the pack on clean and dry face. A Little dampness helps in better and faster absorption by the skin.
Do not keep any pack on the face for more than 20 minutes, or after it dries. If you keep it after it dries, it absorbs moisture off you which is not a good thing.
Pre and post wash of face during pack application with Luke warm water enhances the benefits.
Mild exfoliation before application also helps in for a better result.
Any home remedy for acne and acne scars needs at least two weeks of regular application for visible results.

This is your Knight in Shining Armor. Having struggled with acne all my teenage, and enjoying the realms of a clear skin only recently, I am telling you! Go for it! Honey face packs with lemon are the best of the best.

Lemon juice is acidic and citric; it bleaches your skin, helping you get rid of scars and tan.

Ingredients:

Lemon juice
Rose water if needed
Honey
Method:

Apply lemon juice on face post wash. It will tingle and burn and you won’t love it. But it absolutely works. If your skin is too sensitive, then dilute lemon juice with rose water to lessen the acidity.

Cucumber extracts heat from body. This reduces inflammation of your pimples and reduces their appearance.

Grate cucumber, strain the juice.
Refrigerate the pulp.
When it’s cold enough, use the pulp to pick the juice and moisten your face, one spot at a time.
Once you feel the pulp warm up, dip in the cold juice again and repeat for other spots.
This unclogs your skin’s pores and cools down the system.
Place slices of cucumber on your eyes for a spa effect.
You can also add in two spoons full of rich yogurt to the pulp without draining it. Apply the mixture and leave it on for a while, say thirty minutes, and wash off.

These are some very effective Homemade face packs for acne scars and acne prone skin that can be made easily at home. Do use them and let me know how it worked on you.

Home made toner! (this will also lighten and even out your complexion)

Hey guys!

I like everything natural. From face masks to scrubs etc.

So, I was wondering why not make a home made toner.

This will even lighten and even out your complexion as well.

Let's begin now, shall we? :)

You will need only two things to make this toner.

• Rose water.

• Lemon juice.

 

See, easy right? :)

Method:

• Take one part rosewater in an empty bottle or the same bottle.
• Add half, of the same quantity of lemon juice to it and mix well.
• Your toner is ready! :)

Example: If you are taking one teaspoon of rosewater, add half teaspoon lemon juice to it. 

Rosewater is a natural toner so it will help remove dust and oil from your pores and tone your face.

Lemon juice will lighten your skin color and even out your complexion.

If you use this in the afternoon be sure that you apply sunscreen of at least SPF 30 though,  as lemon juice can make your face darker.

If you are not convinced with this idea I have an alternative for you! :)

• Use only rosewater as toner between 11:30 to 6 p.m. as the sun rays are harmful between this period of time.
• Use the lemon and rosewater mix if you are going out after 6.
• Along with the above two, use this after cleansing your face at night and leave it on your skin overnight to let it work. 

Hope you try this and let me know if you liked this post.

See you next time! 

Ta-da! :)
