My hair care routine

Recently few of my friends asked me how do i take care of my hair when i dyed multiple of time within a year. My hair can be such an ass at times as its wavy .

However I learnt perfect hair care plays apart . You need to match your needs . Like mine , i always look forward for Colored hair. Ive been Testing out Schwarzkopf Gliss range for a year and a half. Most of it matches well enough .

My hair routine, since im not doing much activity i wash my hair alternate days but ive i do have lotsa activity within a day that keep me sweaty i will wash them. Its best if you use the whole range and it works better same as skincare. Ive always have 2 shampoo as at times first shampoo is to wash away impurities while the second one is for my hair needs. Then i will continue with conditioner and treatment or mask ( with shower cap to absorb) . After my shower ive always love to use Charles worthington Leave on spray and damp my hair with a towel , keep it for 15 minutes. With that your hair will be able to absorb needs .

911 exfoliater.

Our bodies have a natural mechanism to keep our skin healthy and fresh. Older skin cells are constantly dying and being replaced with new cells. The dying skin cells fill with keratin, creating a protective layer. As we age, the layer of dead cells tends to build up, creating a rough layer of skin which obscures the fresh, young skin underneath. Exfoliation is important to remove these excess dead cells. However, since these cells serve an important protectiThere's no need to use artificial chemicals to exfoliate your skin. You probably already have many natural products at home that will do the job. Learn how to make natural exfoliating scrubs and masks with the foods you use every day.

There's no need to use artificial chemicals to exfoliate your skin. You probably already have many natural products at home that will do the job. Learn how to make natural exfoliating scrubs and masks with the foods you use every day or even if your out of your exfoliating scrub.

You could always google on it .Here is part of mine when i feel i need more bonding time with nature.Fruits contain natural alpha hydroxy acids. These acids are helpful for exfoliating the skin because they dissolve the "glue" that adheres the dead skin cells together. When making a natural, homemade exfoliating mask from fruit, it's best to keep it simple.

All you need is 3 ingredients.
Strawberry - encourages biological exfoliation, complete the action of microbeads and smoothes the skin surface
Raspberry -brightens complexion
Grapefruit - tighten pores
Sugar/honey/yogurt or any other fruits - optional (up to you)

Mash 'em. Try adding small quantities of other ingredients of your choice. Apply the fruit mixture to your skin. Allow the mask to rest on the skin for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse it off with COOL water. Always end with cold water same reaction as hairs and skin. You want the vitamin to lock in by shrinking em (pores).

Clay is an excellent material for exfoliating oily skin, but is acceptable for all skin types. Combine about an ounce of natural clay powder with 3 tablespoons of distilled water and 1 teaspoon of glycerine. Spread this mixture over the skin in a thin layer and allow it to rest until it dries. Remove the mask with cool water and a wash cloth.

Have fun !
