Natural oils for hair are an absolute must-try for all of those tempted to experiment with natural hair care! They smell great, nurture, soothe, they will make your hair strong and help you to grow it longer and healthier. So are you ready to give essential oils for hair a shot? Well, here are some you’ll most certainly want to use: 

1. LAVENDER OIL

Great-smelling, soothing and relaxing – lavender oils is one of the best natural oils for hair! And when I say «hair» I mean literally all hair types! This wonderful oil is a common ingredient of many both skin care and hair care products not only because its wonderful smell but also because it prevents hair loss, treats many skin conditions and works wonders against excess sebum. The sad fact is that lavender oil used nowadays isn’t as «real» as they would want us to think which means you’ll be better off buying your supplies in the pharmacy than relying on big cosmetic companies. 

Application: Massage into a scalp either alone or mixed with other oils.
 
2. ROSEMARY OIL

Natural hair care recipes often include rosemary and I’m going to explain why so you can really understand how extremely beneficial it is. You see, apart from smelling great, this oil also possesses antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral properties which make it a perfectly natural relief for many skin conditions. It also helps gray and/or thin hair regain its natural volume and color and it is widely known as one of the very few natural cures for alopecia areata. 

Application: Same as Lavender oil. 

3. CASTOR OIL

Okay, well this certainly is one of my favorite natural products and once you give it a try, I bet you’ll love it too! Castor oil is basically a vegetable oil derived from castor bean and, although many might recognize it as a laxative only, it would be unfair to forget its other benefits. This oil feeds and nurtures hair making it shinier and stronger and it also does wonders for hair growth as well as nails and eyelashes. 

Application: Massage into the scalp to boost hair growth or work into your dry, damaged tresses for instant repair. 

4. SAGE OIL

Sage essential oil is also one of those absolutely fabulous natural oils for hair I simply can’t allow myself not to mention! Applying it on your hair might make it turn a shade darker which makes it a perfectly natural dyeing option as well as ideal way of dealing with premature graying issues. But wait, the story doesn’t end there! Sage is also very famous for its anti-fungal, antibacterial and soothing properties as well as the ability to infuse hair with natural, healthy shine! 

Application: Mix with other oils to create natural hair care treatments or apply alone. 

5. CARROT SEED OIL

Speaking about awesome essential oils for hair – you simply must give carrot seed oil a shot! And since this oil can be used in so many different, healthy ways, I’m absolutely sure you won’t regret it. You can use it to improve the overall condition of your dry or aged skin, to ensure healthy undisturbed hair growth or even add it in your food to detoxify your body and prevent gas. 

Application: Massage this oil into your scalp to ensure healthy skin and boost hair growth or work it into your ends to repair all repairable splits and/or damage. 

6. BASIL OIL

Mixing essential oils to create potent infusions or adding individual oils to either directly your hair or your shampoo/conditioner is a good natural hair care routine to try out. And basil is here to help you achieve that steady hair growth you’ve always dreamed of! When used regularly, basil oil improves the overall condition of the scalp as well, creating a healthy, balanced environment necessary for optimal hair growth. 

Application: Basil oil mixes well with both water and other essential oils so it can be either mixed with your shampoo/conditioner and used regularly or combined with other oils and used as a powerful invigorating and nurturing treatment. 

7. JOJOBA OIL

The last on my list of natural oils for hair worth checking out is this wonderful oil many of you recognize as a so-called carrier oil. It works wonders for brittle hair that breaks off easily and it’s also a carrier which means you can mix it with all these other oils to create your own hair-care mixtures. 

Application: Add a few drops of other essential oils to Jojoba oil and apply to your hair and scalp. 

So which one of these wonderful oils for hair are you going to incorporate in your natural hair care routine?

HOW TO USE BUNGEE BANDS

HOW TO USE BUNGEE BANDS
  

Have u heard of Bungee Bands!!!
Professional hair stylists are huge fans of the bungee band. But for many of you, using them is rare and employing them correctly remains a mystery. But this tool is one of the most effective accessories when it comes to tying up your hair.

The hair bungee looks like a normal hair band, except that the two ends don’t meet and are instead fitted with little hooks. “Very simple to use, it is primarily used for ponytails. You can still cover it up afterwards with another accessory or by wrapping your hair around it into a BUN

The bungee band can also be used to hold other up-dos firmly in place. 



>“With a standard hair band you wrap it round two or three times, and it doesn’t always hold very well, meaning that sometimes you’re re-tying your hair ten times a day. But with the bungee band, once it’s in place you don’t need to worry!”

>The bungee band should be used on dry hair, as on wet hair it may leave marks. But in either case it does not damage the hair. “To put it in place correctly, take the hair you want to tie up, insert one hook into the base of your ponytail then wrap it round, holding the ponytail in place with your thumb. Once the band is nice and tight, insert the second hook into the base of the ponytail.”


> Make sure the hooks are hidden under the ponytail. Or use another accessory to cover them up.

>I got a packet of these bands as a gift from my Hubby"z client,, Amanda who was from United States!
  I really dint know how to wear it on my hair!! until i "googled" about it!!

 >It is available in AMAZON.com starting from $1!!

>Hurry to grab yours!!

 Caution:
----------Anyone can use bungee bands, except maybe people with really fine hair are rebonded hair or ironed hair,, since it leaves a mark on ur hair ,, making it look "Awkward". And no one should miss out as they’re available in many different colours. Blonde, brown, black… You’ll have no problem finding one to match your hair colour

MIX AND MATCH

Hello fashion bees!!

Have you eva tried to experiment with your shampoos and conditioners???

If not, then u definitely have to try it ASAP after u r done reading this post!!

yes!! I love to try different products and experiment with the mew products and i find which suits the best to my hair!!

My hair is very rough, totally frizzed out and irritatingly curly!! and when i say irritatingly curly"" it means that it totally bugs me a lot!! uff!!

So i started experimenting, to find the best,,,, so that i could at-least manage it :p

This is how my bathroom became space-less to accommodate all those stuffs!! and morethan that my hair loss was terribly high!!

So finally, it was such a hard journey i came through to discover what my hair needs!!

My now im currently using a mix and match combo to quench my hairs thirst lol

Here it is!!!




*Toni & guy frizz smoothing curl shampoo
*Tresemme climate control conditioner for frizz prone hair

These are the two products that i have currently settled down with :p

make a note: ""its currently"" coz my research is not yet over :)

HOW TO USE:

> First wet your hair and then squeeze of  quite a moderate amount of Toni & guy frizz smoothing curl shampoo and spread it well in your hair and scalp , lather up and then rinse it off!!

>After washing off the shampoo from ur hair, squeeze out excess water from your hair and then take a adequate amount of tresemme climate control conditioner and apply it from the mid length of ur hair and spread it all over the hairs length!!

>finally leave the conditioner for some 2-4 minutes and then wash it off!!

>Then u can style it with ur favorite gel or hair mousse!!

Note:

>Do not rinse off the conditioner entirely, make sure u leave a lil amount of it stay in your hair to give ur hair some shine and softy touch

>The toni & guy shampoo is quite costlier!! 75ml costs nearly 200 and one drawback is that it doesnt lather that well!! so i consume it in large amounts irrespective of the cost!!

>I got tresemme for 225ml @ 128 INR which is a reasonable price!!

>I ordered both from Medplus beauty website!!

i"m still hunting for a better shampoo than Toni & guy!!

But for now!!1 im gonna stick to it until i get a better one!!

Do suggest me if you know any other mix and match combo!!?????????

AMAZING TIPS ZONE: WINTER TIPS FOR CURLY HAIR                        ...

WINTER TIPS FOR CURLY HAIR

Whether you've got soft waves or tight ringlets, as winter approaches it’s time to switch the way you care for and style your hair. That wash and wear 'do you could sport in the summer won't work in freezing temperatures. Not to mention, hat hair takes on a whole different meaning for girls with curls. So we chatted with Jack Martin at Salon Ritz in Tustin CA about the most important tricks for this season.

1. PREP HAIR BEFORE COVERING IT UP.

The roots of your curls can be flattened by a hat, hood, scarf, or earmuffs. "To prevent this, apply gel directly to a hair clip or bobby pin. Then place the clip or pin at the roots of the hair perpendicular to the scalp," suggests Jack. "This keeps the roots elevated while the opposing weight—what you’re covering your curls with—is pressing down on them. After taking off your outerwear, use two hands to remove the clips or bobby pins." (That is, hold the hair with one hand and remove the clip or pin with the other so as not to rip or pull your strands.)

2. GIVE YOUR ENDS EXTRA ATTENTION.

"The ends of your curly hair can get extra parched in winter because of the friction created when your hair rubs against things like wool and other heavy fabrics" says Jack. Because curly hair is naturally extra dry, this just makes matters worse. "Be sure to condition the ends of your hair in the shower, and to leave some conditioner on them rather than rinsing it all out. Also, seal the ends with a silicone-free, alcohol-free product." You can warm up conditioner in the microwave before applying it to your hair—just make sure it’s not too hot. Also, “don’t over-scrunch the ends of wet hair when you get out of the shower—it removes too much moisture. Instead, slip into a terry cloth robe or hoodie to temporarily catch drips before using a diffuser."

3. BE CAREFUL WHEN PUTTING ON AND TAKING OFF YOUR COAT AND SCARF.

"Hair gets trapped under a jacket or scarf, and if you tug at the hair or rip it out from under these things, it can rip and fray," says Jack. "The same goes for hair that gets trapped under the strap of your handbag, so first lift your handbag strap and then move your hair off your shoulder."

4. BLOW-DRY WITH EXTRA CARE.

"If the weather is freezing and you can’t leave the house with wet hair, you can use a blow-dryer, but only do so with a diffuser on low to medium heat and don’t touch your hair with hands or a brush," says Jack. "If possible, use a diffuser without blowing them around and causing frizz. Or use a free-standing hooded dryer.” Another option?  “If you drive to work, turn the heat on in the car. This creates a little micro-climate that allows moisture from the products in your hair to lock in faster, keeps the hair cuticle closed, and evaporates the water.”

5. NOURISH HAIR WITH A HOMEMADE BREW.

Whip this up at home so that you can nourish the ends of your hair. "Combine one to three teaspoons of olive oil, jojoba oil, or shea butter with two to four drops of pure essential oil like lavender, verbena, or vanilla and apply this to the ends of your hair," says Jack. "Cover your hair turban-style with a plastic wrap and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Then combine the juice of one large lemon with your usual amount of conditioner and use this to rinse the oil mixture thoroughly from your hair."
