Hair Care @ home!! our basics

Hey all,

Lets talk about our hair care @ home today!! hair is so important to gals, it makes us look even more beautiful!! isn't it?

I see now a days, many of us have hair loss reasons could be many
Example:- Hormonal imbalance, pollution, stress........

But these all have solutions, it is just that we should have little more patience for our selves, rather eating 3 tablets which has sooo many side effects, dnt you think spending some time on us makes lot of difference?
Yay Yay? think about it if your answer is Yes then please continue reading :) these might help you gals!!

Try and understand your hair and scalp!!
I know ppl will say i have this long hair i see daily what is there to understand...

but try differentiating

• Dry or oil or normal hair
• Dandruff?
• Splits?
• Hair falling?

Once you are done with this!! lets think about past was there a single day were we went to our schools with out mom oiling our hair?

How many days in a week we used to shampoo our hair?

When basics are so important in our life, why are we forgetting/ignoring them?

i understand now pollution is more so we shampoo our hair more, but with out oiling hair shampooing is like killing hair!!

So the basic step is Oiling your hair frequently....
1.) Use coconut, castrol, mustard or olive oil heat it and massage it to your scalp this will increase blood circulation to head and will open up pores.
2.) Apply oil with cotton rather with hair it will equally help in spreading the oil on scalp.
3.) Wrap a warm towel to your hair or use steam. let the oil sit on your head for 1 or maximum 2 hours
4.) shampoo it, do u remember soapnuts? try them monthly once!! does really clear off your dandruff
5.) if you have dry hair use soap nuts with hibiscus leaves(4 to 5)
6.) dry hair properly not under fan or hair dryer, these spoil the quality of the hair :(

Some basic hair packs:-

• Soak two spoons methi overnight morning grind it to paste and apply to hair(reduces hair loss, moisturizes hair, helps in hair re growth)
• After oiling before 10 mins to head bath, apply egg white and leave it untill it dries.(Protein for hair)
• Try banana ripe one, good conditioner
• Apply hair pack 15 days once which comprises of Amarnath leaves, green leaves, betroot, mehndi leaves, egg full, and tea decotion. leave it for 2 hrs and apply to hair and leave it till dry wash your hair once dry, apply coconut oil and next day morning shampoo it!! u will defnetly love it

Eat greens and veggies more include 3 to 4 fruit servings!!

Exercise do yoga (shirsasana, haalasana)

Almonds are too good for hair and complete body have them!

Ask your grandparents what they used to do!!

Do not forget our basics :)

Skin Care!! winters!!

No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. 

Winters are almost heavy this time!!

We gals have to take care of sooooo many things..

skin, hair, health... pheeewwwwww!!

Can we make it easy and natural, than freaking out on winter products? and spend soo much of money?

first thing first... 

If we do not take care of our skin in winter, our spring wouldn't be awesome!!

Some tips i followed for my extra dry skin.. and it worked

We have to care our skin mornings and nights also!!

Why Night? Because winters throws those clod wings on night also.. so care is very much important

Mine is extra dry skin!! And you know how extra dry skin works in winter…. Huff

But trust me it is very east to take care.

What you need:-

Almond Oil (any one which you get from your local shop)

Olive oil

Boro Plus

Sunscreen Lotion

Krack Cream

Parachute hair oil

Ghee

Green Leaves.

Now how we use these ingredients…..

Daily morning when we wakeup and brush later have 1 cup green tea or what ever preferred… winters normally block our nose… so daily try to take steam which will resolve sooo many problems.

But just 10 mins before steam apply almond oil and massage ur face and neck gently fr 5 mins… let some oil be left on skin… so that when you stem it will not remove oiliness from your skin…

After steam apply few more drops almond oil and massage gently and leave it.. as we normally prefer to take bath with VERY HOT water in winters… this is most req…

Take 2 drops of olive oil and massage your lips….

Before you go to take bath… if you are taking head bath.. make sure you apply heated parachute oil heated with few green leaves ( which lets the hair to be black) before 30 mins…

Now when you take bath make sure u use less hot water on your face…

After bath.. make sure you apply moisturizer soon… as in winters evengs and mrngs are too cold.. afternoons are also too hot

So sunscreen is very much required after you apply moisturizer, try applying sun screen on it… it will giv a natural look..

And hair dry it naturally than using blowyer, which spoils the textures.

Even make sure you apply body lotion to body..

Night once you come back from office…use some wet tissues to clean you face from dust which you got from outside… and apply almond oil and go for sleep.

Those who apply kajal, remove it properly and use wet tissue. And then massage almond below eyes so that there will b no dark circles.

Winters you have to take care of legs… apply krack cream and apply mustard oil to the lower feet massage and wear socks and go to sleep J

It all looks too much, but trust me this is all very much needed to take care of you skin and hair in winters…

Hope some tips help you in these J

Have a lovely winters….
