Top 10 Home Remedies for Hair !!

Guest post

Healthy hair is the most important symbol of any woman’s  beauty. Women  always want to get healthy long hair but most of them struggle a lot to achieve their desired hair. They try lots of chemicals to overcome their hair problems and get instant results. But there is nothing like instant results. Hair care is a continuous process which needs proper attention on a regular basis, and chemicals may not be a women’s best friend for obvious reasons. Believe it or not, but home remedies may turn out to be the best solution for any and every woman’s hair problems.

Listed below are the top 10 home remedies for hair:


  •  Apply the paste of raw egg on your damp scalp and wash your hair with warm water after 30 minutes. Repeat this process every week and you will be more likely to get thicker and smooth hair after 4 months. Egg is a great source of protein, and your hair are made up of protein, so imagine how much benefit you can get with this simple tip.
  • Olive oil is great for softening your hair. Massage olive oil gently onto your scalp and leave it overnight. Wash your hair with warm water when you wake up the next morning. By repeating this tip for 2 to 3 months you can get your hair to become soft and smooth as if they are made of silk.
  •  Onion juice helps a great deal in reducing hair loss. This is because onion juice has sulphur in it which is an essential component in preventing hair fall. Apply it on your damp scalp and leave it for 30 minutes and then wash your hair with a mild shampoo. This remedy will greatly reduce hair fall and result in thickening of your hair.
  •  Aloe Vera juice is great for hair growth. Drink 1 – 2 tablespoon of Aloe Vera juice daily for better hair growth.
  • Apply apple cider vinegar on your damp scalp and wash after half an hour. It will maintain the PH balance of your hair resulting in increase in hair growth.
  • Potato juice is a secret weapon for hair growth. Their ingredient has vitamin A, B and C, which are helpful for getting healthy hair. Apply it on your damp scalp and wash your hair after 30 minutes. This remedy will greatly help with your hair growth.
  • Cayanne pepper helps in preventing hair thinning. Mix 2 table spoon of it with olive oil and apply the mixture gently on your damp scalp. Rinse with warm water and get desired results.
  • For dry hair, massage coconut oil onto your scalp thrice a week and get soft silky hair.
  • Drink lot of green tea each day as it has antioxidants which help in reduction of hair fall and boost hair volume.
  • Garlic is famous for regeneration of new hair and hair growth. Boil it with olive oil and apply onto your scalp and wash your hair after some time. This remedy will single hand dly get you your dream hair.

Hello all..Thanks for stopping !!

if you notice all my posts are summer related...because its summer...funny..huh?? my first beach visit in this summer was in May..while going i applied my sunscreen ,but sadly i forgot the sunscreen at home..after drenching in water..my sunscreen was needed of course..but its was not with me..so i got lot of tan that day..i really dont like two tones in my body...so i tried this Tan removal Mask/scrub for face and body.this worked for me..so i want to share with you all.i filmed a video too..if u r interested do watch and let me know your valuable suggestions 



 
What you need :

  • Rice Flour
  • Turmeric/Haldi
  • Fresh tomato 
  • Rose water/Normal water


Mix all the ingredients together and make a paste..i recommend using freshly prepared . All the ingredients are natural and mainly available at most of our homes.There are plenty of uses of Turmeric as we all know..rice flour is an good exfoliate,Tomato has so many uses.one of the main usage is as a tan removal.
If you follow me on blog you may know i already did a post on how to make rose water at home you can check here,if you dont have rose water you can substitute with normal water.

You can use this for both face and body as a scrub/mask.i use it as a scrub.while taking bath i use Tan removal Mask/scrub instead of soap/shower gel. Hope it helps ..

Till next time..with loads of kisses and hugs..

Filter
 and some containers/bottles for storage


Procedure :

1. Clean the rose petals with water and slightly crush them ,These r the rose petals i have used,i took around 10 roses


2. Boil them in a bowl ,i used a steel bowl ( stir in between )


3.After some time yo can see discoloration of the rose petals ,this time you can switch of the flame


4.Let it cool down now Drain the water


                                        Tada..we r done !!

 Here is our fresh home made rose water,i didnt add any other oils or preservatives.i stored this DIY Home made Rose water in small travel containers,which i bought from walmart for around $2.



Just keep these bottles in refrigerator and enjoy !! you can use this Fresh home made rose water up-to one week  as we didn't add any preservatives !!



Uses/Benefits of  Home made Rose water :

1.It is a great cleanser and aids in removing oil and dirt accumulated in clogged pores. Thus preventing acne and pimples
2.A great Toner
3.Just add a cup of rose water in a mug and rinse your hair with the water after shampoo and conditioner. now rinse ur hair again with Luke warm water.
4.spray rosewater on ur bedsheets in ur bedroom before going to bed.
5.Add in milk based deserts/yogurts,make sure to not add much !!
6.Mix with any of ur face masks instead of using water
7.The best and easiest way to use it is to apply it at night. It helps clear all impurities that your face has collected through the day

How I do my facial at home ( Home facial ) Step by step Instructions !!


Hello all..Thanks for stopping !!

As the summers are here..this is the best time for home made facials...do give a facial urself at home..and the enjoy the coming weekend with fresh clean face !!

How often  do u pamper ur skin.??...i mean u do a facial? U believe it or not..till now i didn't go to beauty parlor for facial even for my marriage..i have very very sensitive skin..i am very scared of these facials..




Before marriage i went to banglore to visit my sister,that time we both went a salon ( very famous ) and got a fruit facial ..immediately after 2 hours my skin started burning and all the redness,some boils..evrything hapnd ,the lady did 10 min of scrubbing..that day !!.then i came to know my skin is not suitable for these salon facials.

after that i decided to do this facial at home..which helps me alot..i try to do once in a month,i may change the products..by month..but the procedure is same..

Step 1 :

Tie ur hair tightly ..wash ur face with a gentle face wash..


Step 2 :

Scrub ur face and neck , but how long.i scrub....it  again depends on ur personal preference and ur skin type..as i said earlier i have sensitive skin..i scrub for 5 mins only..


Step 3 :

take some hot water, and do face steaming like this..This is the most important step..i love steaming


Image source : here

Step 4 :

Gently clean ur black heads,white heads or any dirt on ur face ,its time to apply a face mask..my mask is freshly home made

Mix Gram flour,milk and turmeric apply to all over face and neck



Step 5 : 

wash ur face and neck once your mask dries..Now apply your favourite moisturizer and lip balm..


Now. we r done....ur  skin will definitely thank you...:)

Here is my fresh face..lol..:) sorry for my weird  expression here



Finally, This is how i do my facial at home..i am not a professional..but this way really works for me..so i want to share..

Hope it helps !!

Til next time
Take care ..with loads of love
