Hair Mask: Healthy Shiny Hair

Many of us use face masks for hydrate our skin so why not use a hair mask to hydrate your hair, using heat and too many chemicals on your hair can make it super dry and brittle. You can easily make a homemade hair mask from a few things in your pantry.

What you will need:

• 3 tablespoons of olive oil (contains antioxidants to promote a healthy scalp, helps prevent dandruff and head lice, reduces the production of DTH hormones which cause hair loss)

• Half an avocado (contains amino acids and omega 3 to hydrate your hair and scalp)

Put the ingredients into a small bowl and mash it up with a fork, then apply through your hair with your  fingers from your scalp to the ends of your hair (this helps blood circulation to the scalp and stimulates the hair follicle to produce thicker hair strands). Leave the mask hair in your hair for 1-2 hours then wash out and shampoo and condition as normal. 

I hope this helps anyone who has dry damaged hair and is looking for an easy natural remedy.

How to grow out your eyebrows? (THICK & BUSHY)

Hey guys,

As you can see I have some crazy thick and bushy eyebrows (which is very on trend and really frames your face). I am constantly getting compliments and questions on how I grew out my eyebrows so thick. Below I have a little brow journey with before and after picture of my eyebrows (without being filled in).

June 2010

July 2014

My brows have come a long way since 2010, and my thicker eyebrows frame my face a lot better (oh and by the way I do fill in my eyebrows now as I do have some sparse areas). A few changes I have made that have made a dramatic difference, firstly is I no longer pluck my eyebrows I now wax them (I have a major case of over plucking).

Another thing that has really helped my eyebrows is filling them in, I slightly over fill my eyebrows so when it comes to waxing my brows I don't wax too much off. (DON'T over fill them too much this is a long process you don't want to look like you have sharpie eyebrows)

Two products I have used on my eyebrows that has really helped them grow are Castor Oil and the Diorshow Maximizer (I use these products over night). The castor oil provides moisture which hair all over our body needs to promote hair growth. The Diorshow Maximizer comes in a mascara tube and can be used as a lash primer and on your eyebrows over night to help them grow as the product contains protein which promotes hair growth.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR EYELASHES/EYEBROWS GROW?

As many other women out there I have always wanted thicker fuller eyebrows and longer voluminous eyelashes. After a lot of research and testing products I have found a few tips on growing out your eyelashes and eyebrows.

OILS

Best oil for growing eyelashes/eyebrows are cold pressed castor oil and almond oil, as they help restore the moisture in the hairs and promote growth. These oils can be applied with a mascara wand, cotton bud or your fingertips onto the hairs and lash line.

Castor oil has a lot of minerals and fatty acids as well as helping blood get to the blood follicles.

Almond oil is full of vitamin A, D and E.

EYELASH GROWTH PRODUCTS

There are many products on the market claiming to help grow eyelash but these can be fairly expensive and not always worth the hype. Two products that I have used that I have see good results include the Dior Show Maximizer Serum and a cheaper drugstore alternative is the L’Oreal renewal lash serum. These products contain protein to help promote hair growth and strength the hairs so they are less likely to fall out.

VITAMINS

Taking vitamins specifically for hair growth can improve the quality of your eyelashes/eyebrows. Prenatal pills contain vitamins as well as folic acid, which are aimed at hair growth. Hair, skin and nails tablets (Biotin) also has vitamins and protein to promote growth.

Thank You
