Ultimate Hair Mask

Ultimate Hair Mask


Last night I tried out a natural DIY hair mask. This mask contained the ultimate ingredients for super healthy hair:

Eggs: 

Eggs are rich in protein, the high amount of protein from the raw egg helps rebuild your hair follicles and heal split ends. Eggs are also said to help your hair grow, as well as add shine, thicken, and strengthen your hair.

Coconut Oil: 

Coconut oil has numerous benefits for your hair, ranging from: hair growth, softening, shine, and helping with split ends. Coconut oil helps seal in moisturizer in your hair, provides natural nutrients which help soften your hair. Coconut oil contains vitamin K, vitamin E, and iron which helps eliminate dandruff as well as helping your hair growth.

Olive Oil: 

Olive oil is a natural conditioner for the hair and promotes scalp health. Olive oil has plenty of antioxidants which are essential to keeping the skin of your scalp in healthy shape. Olive oil can help your hair get shiny and very soft. Olive oil massages can improve the blood circulation in your scalp. This increased blood flow can stimulate the follicles, which then produce thicker strands.

Ultimate Hair Mask

The combination of eggs, coconut oil, and olive oil give your hair the best possible combination for having your healthiest hair.  My results were incredible, my hair was incredibly soft, shiny, voluminous, and it shockingly felt thicker (after one use). I absolutely LOVED this hair mask, and will continue to use this method when I want the ultimate hair mask treatment for my hair.

Ingredients:

-  1-2 raw eggs (depending on how much protein you want in your hair/the length of your hair)
-   1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil (depends on the length of your hair) 
-   1-2 tablespoon of olive oil  (depends on the length of your hair) 

Directions:

– Warm up the coconut oil for about 15-20 seconds (Allow it too cool for about 1-2 minutes)

– Combine the coconut oil, eggs, and olive oil together (Whisk it all together until it is very smooth)

– Apply the mask everywhere, with a focus on your ends and roots

-After application, apply a bag (grocery bag) on your hair to seal in the mask/create heat

-Leave the mask in your hair for a minimum of one hour

-Wash out with lukewarm to cool water (hot water can potentially cook the raw egg *gross*)

-Shampoo and condition afterwards

-Enjoy your beautiful hair !

I would love to know if you guys like it, and what your thoughts are after you try out this amazing & natural DIY hair mask!

Natural Remedies For Clean, Fresh and White Armpits

Natural Remedies For Clean, Fresh and White Armpits


Sweaty underarms are the most common beauty problem that many women face. Occasional, mild body odour is normal, but excessive or unpleasant body odour can be a source of great discomfort for others and very embarrassing for you. Causes of offensive body odour include poor hygiene, nutrient deficiencies, gastrointestinal problems like chronic constipation, and underlying medical problems, such as genetic metabolic disorders, liver disease, or diabetes.

Clean and fresh armpits is what everyone desire and it is not at all difficult to maintain it! Here are some tips and remedies:


LEMON JUICE

Cut one fresh lemon into two halves. Rub one half of the lemon on your underarms. Make sure the juice gets onto your skin. Allow it to dry on its own, and then take your shower. Follow this remedy once daily until the odour is gone completely. If you have sensitive skin, you can dilute the juice from half a lemon in one-half cup of water and apply it to your underarms using a cotton ball.

BAKING SODA

Mix equal amounts of baking soda and cornstarch. Apply it directly onto your dry underarms to prevent sweating as well as bad odour. Use this remedy when you need protection for several hours. Alternatively, you may try mixing one tablespoon each of baking soda and lemon juice. Apply it to your underarms and other body parts where you sweat excessively. Leave it on for a couple of minutes and wash it off with water; do not scrub.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR

Apple cider vinegar is one of the best replacements for deodorant. The anti-bacterial properties fight off against the bacterial growth. Pour some apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Dip a cotton ball in it and wipe your underarms. This will reduce the pH of the skin, thereby eradicate the armpit odour.

CURD AND TURMERIC MASK

Mix curd with besan or gram flour, a pinch of turmeric powder and apply it on that area. Curd has natural bleaching properties and will help to lighten the skin tone. Turmeric is anti-bacterial that keeps armpits fresh. Do not use too much turmeric powder at they will leave an ugly yellow stain on the skin.

POTATO

At first thinly slice a potato and then gently rub a thin slice of potato on the underarms. Or, you can grate five potatoes to extract the juice. Then gently apply the potato juice on the affected area. Leave it for 20-25 minutes and thereafter wash it off with warm water. Use either of these two remedies once daily for better and faster results.

CUCUMBER

Cucumber is an outstanding source of Vitamin C, molybdenum, Vitamin K, pantothenic acid, potassium, copper, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous, Vitamin B1 and biotin. At first gently rub a thin cucumber slice on the underarms. Or, you can grate a cucumber to extract the juice and then gently apply the cucumber juice under the arms. Do this twice daily until you are completely satisfied with the results.
