Natural Shaving Gel

I am so excited to tell you girls about this 100% Natural Shaving Gel that you can easily make at home. It works better than the chemical ones believe it or not. And it is so moisturising for your legs making them flawless. Plus the ingredients used are anti inflammatory which prevents razor burns. Now who wouldn’t want flawless, moisturised and sexy legs. Also if you get razor burns, check out my post on DIY: 7 Tips to Get Rid of Razor Bumps Naturally  Read more to find out the secret…


All You Need:

     1.  A clean jar
     2.  A Popsicle stick or Small Spoon
     3.  Aloe Vera
     4.  Olive Oil
Aloe Vera and Olive Oil should be added in equal ratio. 
  • Now if you want to try this method for once, take 5 tsp of Aloe Vera and 5 tsp of Olive Oil. Mix them in a jar with a popsicle stick or spoon.
  • Wash you legs with warm water
Natural Shaving
  • Then apply the mixture on your legs evenly and use a razor to shave carefully. 
  • Do this at night so when you wake up, your legs will be super soft and flawless 🙂
  • After shaving, you can either wash your legs with soap to get rid of the excess gel or wash it only with water to leave the moisture on. Wipe your legs with a towel and have a good sleep. (I usually prefer to wash it only with water).
And ta daa, wake up with beautiful, soft legs. I hope you girls really like this because I totally did and it is really worth it. 
Just make sure to wash off the grease from your bath tub in the end because it gets really slippery.

Take Care.

Epilator Review

Epilator is an electrical device used for hair removal. Its like an electrical tweezer. It has many tweezers in them that electrically pluck out the hairs. So its like waxing but it doesn’t hurt as much. But I was really shocked when many people said they don’t know what it is.

I use this one from Argos

Pros:

  1. When I tried it out the first time, I was really excited. My hair didn’t grow back until 2 weeks amd that’s what I REALLY look for during the summer season. I mean who wants to go through the shaving process every other day. I definitely don’t. 
  2. Its pretty cheap actually. You only have to spend the money once unlike if you are waxing, you have to buy the wax strips again and again. Same with the razors. I bought mine for around €50 from Argos.
  3. You don’t get the razor burns or dry skin after using this. I used shaving gels which really dried out my skin. So I absolutely hate them.

Cons:

After two weeks when my hair started to grow back, I noticed that some were growing inside my skin. In other words I had some ingrown hairs. So I had to exfoliate again and again to avoid that. But I still like it.

Overall I really like this device and yes I would use it most of the times when I am not in a hurry.

Do you prefer epilator over the other shaving methods? Let me know in the comments 🙂

DIY: Get Rid of Dandruff Naturally

This was a request made from one of lovely Blog Readers. Well there are a number of reasons why people get dandruff. Whatever the reasons are.. read more to find the causes and what to do to prevent it…

Causes of Dandruff:

  • First of all you are not the only one with dandruff. Let me tell you that 1 in every 5 people have dandruff. Now it can be because your scalp is either dry or greasy.
  • If its dry, you will have flaky dandruff and if its oily, your scalp with be itchy.
  • It is also possible that you have product build up on your scalp and thats what is causing the flakiness.
  • Other reasons are stress, hormones or problem with immune system.

Now we can’t control hormones and immune system. However we can solve the problem.

Preventing Dandruff:

  •  For Dry Scalp, use Castor Oil to add moisture on your roots. Alternatively, you can use Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil or Almond Oil.
  • For Greasy Scalp, mix lemon juice with tea tree oil or aloe vera. Tea Tree oil is excellent to get rid of dandruff.
  • If you have product build up, use a Clarifying Shampoo. I use Pantene’s Clarifying Shampoo. It gets rid of all the product build up and I ABSOLUTELY love it.

Anti-Dandruff Hair Masks:

  1. Honey, Yoghurt and Lemon– Lemon and Yoghurt are known to get rid of dandruff. We use honey   because lemon can be a little drying on hair since its acidic. If your hair is really dry though, add either castor oil or lavender essential oil or almond oil in the mask.
  2.  Aloe Vera and Tea Tree: Both extracts are also known to get rid of dandruff. You can add your                       choice of essential oil so your hair smells exotic.     
  3.  Apple Cider Vinegar: This is what most people recommend however I don’t like rinsing my hair with some vinegar but you guys can try if you don’t have a   problem. You simply pour some of this on your hair and massage for 5 mins and then rinse it off with water. They say the smell goes away once it dries. But still it kinda disgusts me so I never tried this mask before.
Personal Experience: I used to have dandruff but not much and that too occasionally. But the main reason I had dandruff was because I had dry scalp. But now that I condition my hair regularly with Natural Home-made Masks, I don’t get dandruff. You can check my post where I posted the Natural Mask I use regularly HERE.
I hope this post helps you guys and let me know your experience 🙂 Take Care.

Hair Mask Review that Changed my Life

Hey girls. Today I want to tell you about my all time fav hair mask in the whole entire world. I started using it 4 weeks ago and already I can see a HUGE difference in the texture and health of my hair. I have tried total 7 different hair masks from drugstores to high ends. I even tried kerastase but it never worked for me. What €24 of hair mask didn’t do anything €4 of this mask did that. Read more to find out …

It is called…………….. Aussie Take The Heat 3 Min Miracle Deep Treatment.

The first time I tried it, I noticed just a little difference but then when I continued using it, my hair got better and better.

So I guess when you try something, you gotta be patient (I am not good at that when it comes to using products :/ )

I would recommend this hair mask for those who have damaged their hair by heat or the ones that have coarse and dry hair. It also prevents hair breakage. I don’t find hair left in the bathtub any more :O

It tells you to keep it on for 3 mins but I keep it on for half hour and then wash it off. In that time I just finish all my work or just relax with a cup of tea <3

Please tell me about your experience with this hair mask. Did it work the magic or was it just another drug store hair mask?…

Take Care.

DIY: Bedhead Voluminous Waves Without Heat or Rollers

Hey Girls!! Today I will share my secret of getting those messy beachy waves that every girls wants nowadays. But if you don’t want to damage your hair or braid/twist them overnight then keep reading.
This technique will work the best on girls with wavy to curly hair.

To be honest you don’t need anything for this.

  1. Shampoo and Condition your hair an hour before going to bed.
  2. DO NOT brush your hair after washing when they are still wet. Just towel dry the hair.
  3. Before you go to sleep, your hair will be 70% dry in that hour. Now all you need to do is apply a little mousse. Then just scrunch your hair.
  4. I use Pantene Pro-V Volume Mousse.

5.  When you go to sleep, put your hair above your head as shown in the picture. This will create volume.
You will wake up like you just got out of the ocean. Take Care.

DIY: Tip for Long Lasting Curled Nourished Lashes

I have mascara on here.

This is the strangest tip ever and I promise you have never heard of it before. It doesn’t involve curlers or any lash-damaging stuff.

If you follow this tip you won’t need to use curlers and that is really good because curling lashes can make them brittle overtime.

This tip also helps to nourish my lashes. No matter how much mascara I use, they will not dry out and get brittle.


You Need

A really good nourishing moisturizer. I use Palmer’s Coco Butter.

The Tip is: 

Take some of your chosen moisturiser and rub it between your fingers to warm it up.
Now this is the strange part. Apply the moisturizer on your lashes.
Push your lashes upwards to open up your eyes. This will also curl them slightly without damaging your lashes.
Don’t apply too much or too little. Just enough to nourish them. Then you can apply your mascara.

Don’t worry, the mascara you apply after will not smudge or anything. It works amazing. You lashes will stay curled all day long.

Ha! You can actually see my camera in the pupil 😛

And I am speaking from the experience. My lashes have never been in such a good condition.

Share you experience in the comments 🙂 Take Care.

DIY: Get Longer Stronger Thicker Hair

I know this photo of me is edited but I couldn’t find any picture of me showing all my hair. So yea, this is pretty much how long and thick my hair is now and this was taken like 3 weeks ago. This is all my personal experience. I am also going to mention some products that helped my hair grow Longer, Stronger and Thicker. 

 

  • For Fine Hair: I really recommend castor oil. This oil THICK and it will definitely make your hair thick too. It did to mine. So apply this oil at least once a week and you will notice the result in about 4-5 weeks. Before you apply this oil, warm it up in the oven to make it more effective.
 
  • For Weak Hair: I recommend using products of Kerastase. Recently I bought on of their products called Forcintense and it really worked on my hair. My hair felt stronger and now when I brush my hair, it wont fall off. And it worked the very first time I used it. Its amazing! Oh and they are only available in salons.
          By the way do try Pantene products. They are totally awesome!
 
          As a natural treatment, eat lots of protein rich foods to strengthen hair. The egg or Mayo masks never                              worked for me unfortunately so I’d say don’t waste your time on that. But eating protein rich foods really worked on my weak hair.
 
  • For Short Hair: I recommend coconut oil treatments. This oil helps my hair to grow faster. To be honest, my hair grows FASTER than an average person. And I noticed, those people who used coconut oil in my family (my mum and my granny), always had long beautiful hair compared to anyone else. So warm up the oil and apply it at least once a week. By the way, the coconut oil is cheaper in Asian or Indian stores than anywhere else. 
You can also mix castor oil and coconut oil for fine and short hair. Let me know what you think. Take Care.

DIY: Hair Loss Cure and Regrowth of Lost Hair (2 in 1)

For this you don’t have to buy anything or use any type of ingredients. All you need your two hands. Are you surprised??

Well don’t be because it very effective and you can do it anywhere any time.
So I am guessing we all have nails right?

All you do is rub your nails together back and forth.
There are nerve endings below the nails that are connected to your scalp. Rubbing nails increases blood circulation in your scalp and so it reduces hair loss.
It also makes your hair grow faster and brings your damaged broken hair back.
Do this everyday for atleast 2 mins and see the difference in about 2 weeks. You need to be patient though 🙂

DIY: Hair Tip That Solves ANY Problem

Do you have hair loss prob? Dry hair? Thick and Brittle hair? Afro unmanageable hair?
If you have any of the above issues, this tip will take care of it completely.

Personal Experience: I have severe hair loss and I tried SO many ways and this is the one that worked best for me. I have dry, weak and brittle hair, so it need extra care and so far this thing worked BESTEST for me.

So all you need is: any Frizz Control Serum and Almond oil.
I use Shockwaves Styling Gloss Serum and Almond oil bought from Health Store.

Ok so when you have washed your hair and when it is 100% dry, take your serum and almond oil. Take a small amount of almond oil in a bowl. Now take 1-2 inch strand of hair. In your palm, mix 4 drops of serum to 2 drops of almond oil. Mix them together in your palm and apply to each strand of your hair. Brush the strand before applying the mixture. Do this for 3-4 weeks and your hair will be lustrous.

Don’t worry your hair won’t smell because almond oil doesn’t have ANY odor. And it won’t make your hair greasy at all because your hair will absorb the oils if they are dry and brittle.

My hair have stopped falling off now and my hair brushes are NOT loaded with fallen hair.

Check out my blog post on: DIY: Get Voluminous Lustrous Hair for more tips.

Do you get that panic when you see your hairbrush after brushing your hair? Well this tip will take care of that. Tell me about your experience after trying this out in the comment sec. below 🙂 Take Care.
