DIY 3 hair masks that you actually have the ingredients for !

So lets just get right into it.
For the first mask you will need :
Honey
Egg
Cinnamon
A table spoon for measuring

Preparation : All you need to do is use half a spoon of cinammon ,one spoon of honey and one egg.
 Now,you mix it until it turns into an even mixture ,apply it to your hair and leave it on for 15 minutes ,rinse off and you're done.Just be careful .Egg is high in protein which is why it's great for your dry and damaged hair but don't use this more than every two weeks because too much protein can do more harm than good,also keep in mind that egg is pretty hard to wash off ,so be careful with that as well.Reason why i added honey to this is because honey has great mosturising properties ,as well as great healing properties which is why you want to use it if you have any scalp issues.Cinammon also has great properties for your scalp but it also has a beautiful, yet strong smell which will eliminate weird smell that egg has.
I reccommend this mask for people who have dyed ,especially bleached hair as well to those with scalp issues such as dandruff ,hair loss or anything similar.
this is what i use ;)














For the second mask you will need:
Honey
cinnamon
olive oil
a table spoon
Preparation:Same as in mask number one.Just mix 1/2 spoon of cinnamon,1 spoon of honey and 2 spoons of oil.In this case,cinammon is not a must but i like to add it.I alredy talked about properties that honey has ,so i'll skip that this time but what i do want to mention is properties of olive oil.Olive oil is extremly mosturizing,but also has great abilities for strenghtening and smoothing your hair .This mask is a moisture bomb,and  it can be used however many times you want to .Apply it on the ends and mid lenght of your hair and leave it on for half an hour..
Works for any hair type 
 
Again ,this is what i use.

 

















Mask number three:
You will need:
Yogurt
cinnamon
olive oil
a tablespoon
Preparation:mix just a tad bit of cinnamon,two spoons of oil and two spoons of yogurt,apply and leave on for as long as possible.We alredy went thru benefits of oil and cinnamon so lets talk about yogurt now-it has some awsome properties that help smooth your hair making it really soft and easily managable.It can be used alone or just with oil.Results should be similar.
I recommend this mask for dry,brittle,tangly,hard to manage type of hair.
 
I use rhis brands,but really anything works fine

DIY simple facial at home

So,as i alredy promised you guys,i'll share with you how i do my facial at home so here it is
DISCLAMER:I am in no way a proffessional when it comes to this kind of stuff and all i'm doing is sharing  the recipe that i personally use,which doesn't mean that it must work for you .


Ingredients (stuff that you will need) ;
  1. One lemon
  2. Camomile or green tea
  3. Some boiled water
  4. Face wash/soap
  5. Soft toothbrush that you will be using only for this purpose
  6. Facial mosturizer/cream/whatever you use
  • First thing that you want to do is make sure that your face is makeup,residue,sebum and dirt free.Once you have achieved that ,we can move on to the next step .which is:
  • Take your lemon.cut it in half,juice one half of it and save the other half for later-you'll need it later.Now,apply that as a toner to your skin and leave it on for 2-3 miinutes ,but,if you have sensitive skin,just skip this step.
  • Next thing you want to do is apply your fav face wash or soap to your skin and take your toothbrush, and gently ,GENTLY brush your skin with it for half of a minute and wash off the bubbles .
  • Then,make some tea.If you have acne prone or any other type of skin,use camomile except for oily skin,in that case use green tea and steam your face over a big pot of that tea for about 5 minutes.If you are unsure how to do this,check out some youtube vids as there are plenty showing you how to steam your face.(heres's a link to one of them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr2Gvq_Fe7s )
  • After that's done ,repeat lemon toner (using the other half of your lemon and brush step if you don't have sensitive skin) and if you do then just ,again gently brush your skin usng that brush  but don't use lemon.
  • Lastly,apply some good quality honey on your skin,leave it on for five minutes and wash off.If your skin starts to feel  a bit tight use your mosturizer and you are done.
  • DO NOT DO THIS MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK;FOR SENSITIVE SKIN ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!
Hope this works for you the way it does for me.

DIY AT HOME MANICURE

Hiya,yea ,i know it's been like half a year since i blogged but let's just say that school got the best of me.But ,i'm on my summer break now so expect at least one post a day from me .
So as i'm sitting here,soaking my nails in oil ,i thought it would be a good idea to share some tips on how to get the perfect mani at home.These are the tips ,step by step:
  • So lets say you are starting off with alredy painted ,chipped nails .The very first thing you want to do is grab some cotton (either cotton pads for make up rempoal or cotton balls)and apply some oil based,acetone free nail polish remover on them.Gently, start to rub your nails until the polish comes off .If you were wearing a stubborn,hard to remove ,glitter polish ,take the same cotton with polish remover but this time put that on your nails and wrap it in some alu-foil and leave it on for five to ten minutes.When the time passes ,gently slide the foil away ,and voila.
  • After that,wash your hands with some soap and we can move on to the next step.
  • What you want to do is take a gentle ,glass type nail file and shape your nails the way you desire but take care that you are fileing your nails only in one direction ,in order to prevent them from breaking.
  • Then ,use a 4 step nail file that you can get for cheap at any beauty supply store and gently buff ,polish and shine up your nails .When you're done ,wash your hands again.
  •  Now here comes the fun part.Take some extra virgin or any kind of olive oil and heat it up just until it's warm.Then ,soak your nails in it for however long you want to,then wash your hands AGAIN .
  • You can skip the oil ,and just apply some body lotion or hand cream on and leave it on the nails for about 15 minutes ,for similar,but milder results.
  • After that ,your nails should be ,clean,dry,and moisturized as well as your cuticles.
  • If nedeed,now is the perfect time to push your cuticles and follow up with a bit more of polish remover again.Just make sure to never cut them,AS THAT COULD BE REALLY BAD.
  • Now ,after all this,you ca finally apply a thin coat of base coat to your nails
  • Once you've done that,you can leave your nails as they are or follow up with few ,thin coats of your polish color.
  • Then,optionally you can apply a thin coat of top coat and you are done.
  • EXTRA TIP :If you are clumsy like i am and can't do fancy nail desings but want to have fun nails,you can always try using nail stamps,gems and stickers for nails.If you want a post on that,let me know by commenting.Also,please do take your time and tell me in the comments what is your favourite nail polish colour/brand and you might be featured in my next post .
