Tips for conditioning your hair

All types of hair need a conditioner –even oily hair. Whilst some people prefer to use conditioners only on special occasions, the regular use of conditioner will help protect your hair cuticle and, thereby, protect the natural shine and beautiful condition of your hair. Even hair that is in ‘perfect’ condition needs gentle protection, especially if it has a tendency to be dry. Conditioners also help neutralize static electricity.

For your regular conditioning application after shampooing, follow these steps:

1. Thoroughly rinse out the shampoo.

2. Apply a sufficient amount of conditioner to cover hair lightly and evenly.

3. Allow the conditioner to remain on hair for 60 seconds while you gently massage it through.

4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until hair feels smooth and tangle-free.

5. Use a wide-toothed comb to gently smooth out any remaining tangles.

    I find using conditioner once in a while rather than everyday actually keeps the hair healthier. I also found that washing my hair every 2 or 3 days actually keeps them nice for longer

    Conditioning hair so important.After awhile you will notice a big difference! If you think your hair feels to greasy when you condition it try deep conditioning it about every two days. Some peoples scalp produces the oils found in conditioners very fast! To keep your scalp healthy and your hair growing without using conditioner at all, try vitamin E!!

    I've heard drenching your hair with mayonaise and a small amount of olive oil and leaving it there for about five to ten minutes then washing it out really conditions and softens you hair.

    Prepare your skin/hair care products for immediate use. Use only fresh ingredients. Create the skin/hair care products for your skin type. Use a non-metallic (ceramic, glass, enamel) containers, metal can have chemical reactions with natural products. It is best to use a small but powerful food processor or blender to make a smooth paste.Keep all substances away from your eyes. Some substances (ex: lemon, alcohol) used in recipes can irritate the eyes. Always cool finished products to a comfortable temperature to apply to the skin.

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker.

Coconut oil for beauty

Coconut oil, due its high saturated fat content was branded as unhealthy and artery-clogging which could cause heart diseases. This claim has been widely disproved by the scientific community and it is now being hailed as one of world’s healthiest cooking oils. Though it may take time, perceptions are slowly changing as people are beginning to realize its tremendous benefits. Coconuts and coconut oil have always been a part of the cuisine in tropical countries like India (South) and Sri Lanka and even today coconut is indispensable in their diet.
