Hair spa at home

Hi beauties, today the post is for hair care. I'm a person who need everything in home itself, bored of roaming in the hot. I wanted to treat my hair as similar to the spa and discussed with my friends regarding that and came up with few ideas similar to spa treatment. I'm posting the methods which we tried.

Deep oil massage is the first step in treating your hair.

How to proceed with hair massage?
First heat required amount of coconut oil with hibiscus and jasmine flowers.
Allow it to cool and remove the sediments.
Then with the oil start massaging your scalp with the tips of your fingers for at least 15 min.

Next is conditioning your hair.
For this you can use either egg whites or fenugreek paste. Apply any of the natural conditioner and leave it to set in the scalp.

After applying any of the natural conditioner wrap your hair with hot steamed towel which will allow the conditioner to set in the roots of the hair.

Leave it undisturbed for another 15 min and have deep cleaning hair wash with your shampoo.

Don't use any electronic stuffs for drying your hair, instead dry your hair in sunlight by separating hairs using hands.

Always wash your hair with good purified water.

Thats it guys you are done with home hair spa. I'm sure you are gonna try this and come with good results. See you all in next post.

Greeny face wash for clear skin

Hey pals ! Today the post will be regarding face wash which is simple and easily made in home by ourselves. There are many face washes that are suitable for different skin types. Is there a face wash for clear and glowing skin?   Yes  we do. Last weekend I tried a face wash which I wanted to share with you all. Its a greeny face wash. Interesting? Go on...


For the greeny face wash I dried neem leaves  and tulasi(Basil) in direct sunlight and then finely grinded to a powder and kept aside.

Next step I extracted fresh aloe vera gel.

How to proceed?
First step I applied the aloe vera gel and left undisturbed for few minutes to dry. And then mixed both tulasi and neem powder with few drops of water to make a thick paste and applied over dried aloe vera gel in face. Then washed with cold water.

After the wash I felt very refreshing and my face looked bright than before. I suggest this for persons who have pimples to be cured.

For persons who have dark spots they can apply a thick pack of neem powder and a pinch of turmeric powder along with rose water.

Try the greeny face wash and feel the difference. Feedbacks are invited...

Natural treatment for hair and natural oil preparation.

Natural way to treat your hair.

Hi friends today's post will be related to natural hair treatment. I always wonder how people from past would have washed their hair without shampoo and conditioner but they had long hairs(read in many Tamil novels) and asked my elderly people. Then came up with simple homemade solutions for hair. Just wanted to share with you people so started texting...Read on....

In those days, people used to keep more oil to their hair. This helps in hair growth and reduce hair fall.As they keep oil daily the scalp binds the hair root strongly.

For hair wash they use green gram powder or arapu which they used as a substitute for shampoo. Instead of green gram powder they use shikakai also.

For conditioning hair they used dried hibiscus powder so that it leaves the hair soft. Along with this dried neem leaves powder can also be added.

Using fenugreek leaves hair smooth. For that soak hand full of fenugreek over night in water and grind it like a thick paste and apply on your hair and then go for hair bath.

Neem oil was applied to avoid lice in hair.

For long thick hair and to avoid premature white hair mehandi oil is used.

How to prepare mehandi oil?
Take mehandi leaves, add little water and make a thick paste. Then take a dry plastic cover or a plate and pour the paste. Then dry it in sunlight. Now paste would have turned into a thick solid. At last put those collected pieces  into a jar containing coconut oil. Leave it for a day to gel with oil and then start using mehandi oil.

                 

Dried mehandi

Above image is the dried mehandi that you need to put in coconut oil.

       The image is the mehandi oil which I prepared

in home. If you check the image you could see the dark green color of mehandi oil. 

         Hope those above said methods are simple and can be made ourself in home at lowest cost. Share your thoughts with me.

Note:

First apply few amount of mehandi oil and check whether that suits you and continue using it.
