Beauty regime for soft and lustrous hair

If you have the time and resilience, you can try the following natural beauty therapies for soft, lustrous, healthy hair.

Herbal vinegar rinse.
Prepare 200ml apple cider vinegar in a jar, add 3 tablespoons dried rosemary. Cover and allow to steep for 1 to 2 weeks, then strain the mixture. Use this as a final shampoo rinse, after the usual shampooing. Apple cider vinegar rebalances scalp pH and rosemary as an antiseptic, astringent and healing agent.

Banana treatment.
Bananas are full of nutrients and are good for treating dry, damaged and fragile hair. Just mash an over-ripe banana and work it through your hair. Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap for 30 minutes, then wash your hair thoroughly.

Avocado scrub.
Peel a ripe avocado, mix it with a teaspoon of wheat germ oil and a teaspoon of jojoba oil. Apply it to freshly washed hair and work it all the way to the ends. Cover your hair with a plastic shower cap for 15 to 30 minutes. Then rinse your hair thoroughly clean. Avocado moisturizes and strengthens hair shafts with protein.

Honey and egg hair mask.
Whisk 2 egg yolks with 3 tablespoons honey. Apply to your hair, let rest for 30 minutes under cover with a plastic shower cap. Then wash off with the usual shampoo. Egg yolk acts as an excellent moisturizing agent, while honey gives a rich gloss to your hair.

Mayonnaise scrub.
Instead of avocado, use mayonnaise as a good alternative. The egg in mayonnaise is a good source of protein for your hair. Apply to your hair, cover with a plastic shower cap for up to 1 hour. Then wash your hair thoroughly.

Deep-conditioning, hot-oil treatment.
Damp hair with warm water, then gently massage 2- 3 tablespoons of almond oil through your hair. Cover with a plastic shower cap and then wrap with warm towel for 15 minutes. Then wash hair thoroughly to remove the oil. Do this once a week.

Home-made hair conditioner.
Mix 60g olive oil and 60g aloe vera gel with 6 drops of rosemary and sandalwood essential oils. Apply into hair and leave for 1 hour, then rinse thoroughly. Olive oil is a natural emollient, aloe vera hydrates, while rosemary adds body and softness to your hair. Sandalwood gives your hair the smell of fresh fragrance.
Hope you stay healthy and beautiful with soft and lustrous hair.

Simple steps for keeping your hair healthy :

* Here are some pointers that will ensure your hair stay soft and lustrous.
* Avoid long exposure to direct sunlight.
* Hairbrush should be of natural bristles, as synthetic materials will generate static electricity which will cause your hair to become more brittle.
* If need, wash your hair once every 2 days. This will allow time for the natural oil to nourish your hair.
* If possible, use baby shampoo which is milder and kinder on your hair
* When washing hair, use warm water. Hot water will strip the natural protective oil from your hair.
* Make sure you thoroughly rinse your hair clean, as leftover shampoo will leave a residue which will dry out the strands.
* Avoid excessive use of hair dyes.
* When swimming, make sure you cover your hair with a swimming cap. Both chlorine and sea water are bad for your hair.
* When in heated room, use humidifier to prevent dry hair.
* On windy days, wear a hat or scarf.
* Trim your hair every 6 weeks to eliminate dry and split ends. 
* When using hair dryer, avoid high heat. Heat from hair straightener and curling tongs can do damage to your hair. Don’t use them too often.

For cellulite, scrub the skin with a bristle brush or loofah. Brush in slow sweeps, always toward the heart. There are gloves and mitts available to do this, but they're not necessary. Try to do this at least five minutes every day.

 Do you need a quick glow to your skin and all over healthier look? Bend over at the waist, as far as you can possibly go, and hold to the count of thirty.
For dark elbows Rub with limejuice, leave for10-15 minutes. Soak a towel in hot water and scrub firmly.

For rough palm Take 1 tspn sugar and 1 tspn oil. Rub like a massage between both palms.
 Also for cellulite - Copy the expensive herbal wraps offered by top spas. Mix a cup of corn oil with 1/2 cup of grapefruit juice and 2 teaspoons dried thyme. Massage into hip, thigh, and buttock areas. Cover with plastic wrap to lock in body heat. For extra results lay a heating pad over each area for five minutes

 Right from the can, Crisco is a big secret among beautiful women. Use it to remove makeup and as a highly effective moisturizer. Hospitals even use it to treat psoriasis and eczema.

 To lighten age spots and sun-damaged skin, mix the juice of 1 lemon, 1 lime, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 2 ounces of plain yogurt. Gently massage into each spot. Use at least once a week.

The best leave-in conditioner for your hair is nothing other than laundry room fabric softener. It's very strong, so be sure to dilute it. Suggestions: 1 cup water, 1/2 cup fabric softener.

Create your own tinted lip gloss. Simply mix any of your favorite lipsticks with a dab of Vaseline.

For dark elbows Rub with lime juice, leave for10-15 minutes. Soak a towel in hot water and scrub firmly.

Tips to get beautiful eyes


Most of the communication is made by the expression in your eyes. And one is able to convey the best of emotions through the eyes. That's the reason why eye make up enhances the look of the eyes and it can also turn out to be overtly bad if the beauty tips for eyes are not aptly applied. 



  1. Choose the eye shadow that suits your skin tone and type as they come in varied texture, powder (compacts), pencils, and creams. Only you can choose the right eye make up product for yourself.

  2. You can either use a dry or a wet eye powder but make sure you are able to control it. You have to be sure that the best powder that you use shall be of the moist nature.

  3. Eye pencils are always easy to use. Make sure you do not smear the lines as you apply the eye pencils on your eyes.

  4. Remember that eye creams are not at all easy to manage. Therefore, use a good quality eye foundation; or else it might slip and slide towards the crease on your eyes and eyelids.
