ALOEVERA HAIR TREATMENT (Homemade Hair serum)

Aloevera is a good source of Vitamin E which adds nourishment to your hair and makes it softy softy! :) :) Believe or not.. Myself tried this aloevera serum and saw wonderful results on my hair. It's not a big process at all. Just take 2 fresh aloevera leaves, peel off the skin to get the Aloe gel. Now grind this gel in a mixy to make a paste. Apply this aloe serum over your hair and scalp, also in the split ends. Leave on for an hour and wash off with your regular shampoo. Shiny soft hair is all yours! :) When followed weekly, this homemade aloe hair serum does miracles to your hair.

CONDITIONING

Do you all know ? Conditioning is the main process which moisturizes hair and gives the shine. Every time we shampoo our hair, our hair loses moisture and becomes dry. To prevent this, use a good branded conditioner. Using conditioner every time after shampooing makes your hair really really soft as it moisturizes. So, never ever forget to condition if you want soft shiny hair. I use Dove, Garnier and L'Oreal conditioners :) They're quite good!

I have already mentioned the OILING PROCESS in my previous post, It also moisturizes your hair well and strengthens it from deeper to give you a wonderful, beautiful and mainly SHINY SOFT hair! Click HERE to read it!

Hope this post will be useful to you all. Leave your comments! Have a nice time! :)

Herbis Herbal Hair Oil Review

Herbis Herbal Hair Oil Review

Oiling hair is as important as cleansing it. We rinse our hair as per our convenience; some people rinse their hair everyday, some every other day and others once or twice in a week. Whenever we shampoo our hair, we think that it cleanses our hair and makes it free from dirt, oiliness and other impurities caused by the environment. But not only that, once we rinse our hair, it loses it's moisture and turns dry. Your conditioner cannot help with hair dryness because most of the hair conditioners just work on the hair body to prevent tangles. In this case, oiling hair becomes very essential and necessary to balance the lost moisture. Most of us does not want to apply the hair oil soon after getting our hair wash done because it makes hair look limp, oily and ugly. But we can oil our hair at the previous night of shampooing hair. This helps preventing excessive dryness in the scalp and maintains a good healthy hair. What more? If there are some herbals combined with our hair oil, it becomes much more beneficial. We are going to check a review of that kind of a herbal hair oil now. It is the Herbis Herbal Hair oil which is made up of several natural herbs. Go ahead and find more about the product!

My Experience with this product:

Packaging

This hair oil comes in a very simple, but yet sturdy plastic bottle which is transparent and has a white coloured screw cap. The bottle has a lid with a tiny nozzle which is meant to take the product out for usage. Though simple looking, this packaging is very much suitable for mess-free usage and yes of course, this product is travel friendly. I hope that they will improve the looks of this product in future.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance

As I guessed, this oil has a thick consistency (Not very thick as castor oil but not very thin too, it is some more thicker than the coconut oil) It looks dark green in the bottle but when taken out for usage, the oil looks transparent with a visible green tint. The fragrance is similar to that of homemade herbal hair oils. I found nothing chemical-like in the fragrance, but it is strong and herbal but would not bother my senses as this oil is meant for overnight usage.

How it works

Frankly speaking, I dislike hair oils :P Not just because they make my hair look limp, but oiling hair tends to change my facial skin look oily and dull. But after all, I realized that hair oil is a must to maintain long healthy hair and started oiling my hair at night. When I searched out for an hair oil meant for overnight usage, this one caught my eyes. I was impressed by the things that this hair oil contains 25 herbal ingredients and it is completely natural. 

       This herbal hair oil goes smooth on to the scalp, spreads easily and instantly gives a cooling sensation to the eyes. I usually heat this oil and apply the warm oil to my hair and scalp. After application, I massage my scalp gently with my hands and wear a shower cap. When I wash my hair next morning, my hair looks visibly soft and silky due to its moisturizing and herbal properties. About the hair fall and dandruff control claim, yes it worked perfectly. My hair fall was due to dryness and this oil successfully helped control my hair fall with regular usage. My dandruff was in control as well but one should use this regularly in order maintain a healthy hair. Due to its thick texture, I shampoo my hair twice to get rid of the oil residues completely but then it is not a big issue for me as it works well to cure my hair dryness and other problems. Overall, I would use this herbal hair oil regularly until I find a better one. The price is okay for the natural and herbal ingredients of the product so I wouldn't mention it expensive. We spend thousands of bucks on chemically made high end serums isn't it? Hence the price is pretty much reasonable for a naturally made herbal product. Give this oil a try and I am sure you will love it!

PROS

• Comes in simple, yet sturdy and travel friendly packaging
• Easy to squeeze and use
• The oil spreads onto the scalp very well and instantly calms down the eyes
• Improves the texture of hair with regular usage
• Moisturizes hair very well and the herbal ingredients control and prevent dandruff
• If your hair fall is due to dryness, then this would surely help in controlling it. 
• Regular usage prevents split ends and leaves hair soft and silky
• Though it has a strong herbal smell and thick texture, it is meant for night usage hence no worries
• Made of several herbal ingredients and completely natural.
• Reasonable price for the worth
• No experience of side effects or irritation

CONS

• The strong smell might put some off but after all it is for night usage, so this can't be taken as a major con
• Rinsing it off is a little pain. Sometimes it becomes necessary to shampoo hair twice to get rid of the oil
• The price is reasonable for the worth but still, if they give some discount as introductory offer, many can easily buy and try it.

Rating: 3.5/5


Recommendation:
I highly recommend this herbal hair oil to all. This might help in controlling your dandruff and hair fall as well. Use it overnight, at least twice in a week to see visible results. When your hair fall and breakage are controlled, your hair grows longer and stronger isn't it?


Would I Repurchase:
Yes, I am getting my second bottle soon :)

How to Make Your Hair Wash Cream at Home - Photo Tutorial

As soon as summer begins, our hair starts getting damaged by the harmful UV rays and heat. Due to this, daily hair wash becomes necessary in every person's hair care routine. We face split ends, oiliness, dandruff, sweating and many other hair ailments due to regular shampooing. Today, I am going to show you the steps of making your own hair wash cream at home easily. In this recipe, shika is used as a base. Shika is a natural made hair wash powder, widely used in India. You can make your own at home or get a ready made pack from your nearest shop. This hair wash cream is suitable for all hair types, however a little alteration would be needed to make it suit your hair. Usage of this hair cream instead of your regular shampoo not only acts as a natural side effect free hair cleaner, but also adds a perfect shine and smoothness to your hair. Let us move on to the recipe now.

Things you will need:

1. Shika Powder - 2 teaspoons
2. Curd - Required
3. Hair oil - 3 drops

Instructions

Step 1

Take a small clean bowl and add 2 teaspoons of  homemade or store bought shika powder into it. I am using the Meera herbal hair wash powder here.

Step 2

Pour required curd to the shika powder. Curd acts as a natural hair conditioner and adds shine to dull hair, hence you can skip your conditioner.

Step 3

Blend well to form a thick paste.

Step 4

Now add 3 drops of any light hair oil to this paste for a nourishing effect on your hair. Make sure to avoid thick oils like castor oil and go for thin filtered oils, because they may weigh down your hair. I have used a thin hair oil from Garnier. If your hair type is extremely oily, then skip this step and add few drops of lemon juice to the cream.

Step  5

Now mix all the ingredients well and keep the bowl inside your refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes. This process allows the ingredients to mix well together and gives a smooth soaked shika hair cream.

That's all. Your homemade hair wash cream is ready for use now. You can apply it on your wet hair soon after taking out from the refrigerator for a cooling and relaxing effect. This hair wash cream cools down your body, refreshes your eyes and prevents summer acne. However, allow it to warm in room temperature before using if you have cold body type.

The texture of the cream should be normal to runny for a perfect application. This doesn't lather much as your shampoo but thoroughly cleanses out all the dirt and oiliness. Plenty of water should be used to wash out the cream thoroughly. Make sure to choose a fine shika powder to avoid residues.

Texture of the Homemade Hair Wash Cream

 I have been using this homemade hair wash for ages and it gives great results on my hair every time. My hair turns visibly shinier and smoother after every usage. I can also feel my hair growth faster than before as there is less hair loss. This above preparation is made for my sister and I will be washing my hair tomorrow with this homemade hair wash cream.

Best Home Treatment for Hair Loss

Many of our visitors asked me to write a post which gives natural and herbal remedies for thinning and falling hair. Hair loss is caused when your hair strands get weak and fall out. There are many causes for hair loss such as..

• Vitamin deficiency
• Loss of good night sleep
• Mental stress
• Improper maintenance
• Hard water hair wash
• Particular medicines
• Pollution and dust

There are also other reasons like harsh combing, avoiding hair oils which nourishes hair which prevents dryness and breakage and usage of chemical cosmetics such as hair straighteners and hair sprays.

So, what can we do to promote healthy hair growth and prevent further hair loss or damage? Do we need to search for branded hair oils or run behind chemical lotions which claims faster hair growth? Do you think they will work? There is a great risk of losing your hair by using scented chemical hair products and cosmetics.

The best thing to do in your home to prevent hair loss and promote regrowth of hair is few natural and organic treatments, which causes no side effects. They keep your hair nourished and prevents hair loss in a very natural way, thus your hair grows healthier, softer and stronger. Let me explain in this post about a Castor oil Hot oil massage home treatment which works very effectively in preventing hair loss.

Castor oil is a vegetable oil which is extracted from the Castor bean. It's very thick in consistency and has a bit uncomfortable smell, but yet it acts as a best natural hair tonic which has lots and lots of hair repairing and nourishing properties. Get pure Castor oil from your nearest grocery shop and store it in a cool dry place.

USES OF CASTOR OIL IN HAIRCARE

• Nourishes hair and prevents dryness.
• Makes your hair says goodbye to split ends :))
• It's antioxidants prevents scalp infection which causes hair fall.
• Improves blood circulation in your scalp and strengthens hair roots.
• Promotes faster hair growth that you can visibly see the difference.
• Eliminates dandruff and leaves hair silky soft for sure :D
• Thickens hair and makes it shinier with regular use.

HOT OIL MASSAGE WITH CASTOR OIL

• Take required Castor oil in a small bowl.
• Extract oil from 2 Vitamin E capsules and mix with the Castor oil (I use Evion Vitamin E capsules :) )
• Blend this oil mixture well and heat it.
• After the oil mixture warms down, apply it over your hair and scalp covering the entire hair surface in bearable heat.
• Use finger tips and palms to massage your scalp gently. Rub the oil gently over split ends too.
• Now wear a plastic cap over your head and cover it up with a clean towel and leave the oil to penetrate and work on your hair for at least 30 minutes. You can also leave this oil overnight on your hair for better results :)
• After that, rinse out your hair completely with plenty of fresh water and your regular shampoo without any oil residue.
• Silky soft and smooth hair which even beats peacock feather is all yours! :D Believe me, I have tried it. Following this hair care routine at least once in a week gives best results within 5 uses, as I listed in the uses of Castor oil above.

NOTE : You can also add some grape seed, almond or any other essential oil with this oil mixture to reduce the thickness of the Castor oil and a little bit uncomfortable smell :P.

Do you still think about the parlor products and chemical lotions to reduce hair loss? :D I hope you all would have started loving Castor oil which gives you a beautiful hair after reading this post! :) Good luck. Leave your comments!

Neem Face Pack for Acne and Blemish Free Skin

Hi readers.. Most of the teens main worry is acne these days :( Acne is caused by many physical and mental health problems such as hormonal imbalance, stress, improper diet and vitamin deficiency. To prevent acne we should include fresh fruits and vegetables in our daily diet cutting down the fried oily foods and junk food items. I do get acne in all the seasons because of my sensitive skin but still I would manage it every time with few skin care routines and diet plans.

If I get no time to follow all these, I would simply apply a magical face pack which cures acne overnight or within 2 days. The acne bumps gets dry and fall off when we use this face pack. Is it a chemical one? or a branded cosmetic face pack? Not at all. :D I prepare this every time at home in a quick method. This face pack is fully herbal as I prepare it with Neem. I hope you all know what is Neem. Luckily there's a Neem tree near my house, so I could easily pluck some leaves from my terrace.

I have prepared a neem powder by grinding dried neem leaves which I have collected and dried in shade for a couple of weeks. I use this powder whenever I get acne and whenever I feel to clear out the scars and spots. This powder can be used in all the seasons :). The greenish powder won't be too fine but still it is okay to use as a natural acne clearing face pack. If this face pack is applied thrice a week, it vanishes out all the blemishes :) :) :D Look at the picture below, dried neem leaves which I have collected.

Now I will tell you all few important facts about this neem face pack. Neem is an ayurvedic medicine which is really good for our skin :) . It does helps our skin in many ways without any side effects :) So, this face pack is fully natural and organic, so that you can never worry about side effects.

NEEM ACNE AND BLEMISH CLEARING FACE PACK

1. Take two teaspoons of neem powder in a small bowl.

2. Add few drops of rose water and lemon juice to make a thin paste like this.

3. The consistency won't be like what all the other packed face packs have. It won't be fine or smooth but it is quite enough to use as a face pack. Take a look at this! The paste when applied over skin, will look something like this..

HOW TO APPLY

• Wash your face with a gentle face wash and pat dry.
• Spread this neem paste allover your face and neck, leave on for half an hour.
• Wash off with clean and cold water. Moisturize! That's it :)
• If you're too lazy like me just apply this paste over you acne before going to bed at night. It will clear out the acne by reducing the bulge. :)
