Henna for healthy hair

26th Jul 2020 Purple Bae

Hey gorgeous people…Hope you are all doing well. I’m back with an other blog which is related to Henna application. In this article we are going to see the uses of henna and it’s advantages. Let’s get started..

There is a story about the history of henna being used on hair. The summary of it is like, Cleopatra wanted a unique colour for her hair. Many of her staff tried many dyes but nothing lasted. Finally, Cleopatra found that henna when used on hair can give a long lasting orangish red dye on the hair.

Let’s move on to the advantages of henna. Henna is best known for its healing and cooling properties. It makes our hair healthy and it can also used as a treatment for any kind of infection. It is also the best affordable method to get grey coverage as it gives a red tint on hair.It forms a protective layer on our hair strands and protects it from pollution.It can also calm down headaches, stress,B.P etc,as it has a cooling effect. It can be considered as one of the best and affordable treatments unhealthy and damaged hair. But, once if hair id given a henna treatment, it cannot be given any kind of chemical treatments after that. Colouring, rebonding etc. Cannot be given in that hair. The hair should regrow to do any kind of chemical treatments after henna application. So those who don’t wish to do chemical treatments ever can go for henna.

How to make henna: The best is to use natural henna from the plant. Dry some henna leaves in sunlight for two days and make it into a powder and store in a glass container in a cool and dry place for 1 week. After one week mix it with amla powder, curd, egg, 1 tsp oil and lemon(never use for oil dandruff affected hair) and mix it wel with water boiled with tea leaves. Mix it and make a paste. Beetroot juice can be added for more reddish shade. Now, let’s get into the application.

Take small sections of hair and start applying the paste at the scalp and hair using a brush. Start from the front portion and set it as seen in the picture. It looks like a bowl kept upside down on our head. Leave it for 40 to 50 minutes and rinse it off..As henna make our hair dry, people with dry scalp and dry dandruff can add more oil to the paste and also use a conditioner if necessary. Give a light massage on the scalp while rinsing. And rinse all the henna off.

This is all about the basics of henna. Hope all of you found it helpful. It’s always better to visit a good salon for these treatments or if we make any mistakes it will turn into a big mess.

Hey gorgeous people….Hope you are all doing well. I’m back with an other blog which seems to be very helpful for you. We all wish for a long and smooth hair. We can use a rice water as a booster for our hair growth as well as to make it smooth. So let’s get started..

Rice water is a best hair growth booster.It not only boosts hair growth but also helps to give smooth and shine to our hair. So let’s start by talking about rice water. Rice water contains amino acids, B vitamins, vitamin E , minerals and amino acids. Rice water promotes faster growth of hair and also it helps our hair with detangling, makes it soft and smooth and makes our hair strong.

To make rice water, take required amount of rice and wash it thrice. Then boil enough water in a pot and when it boils add rice into it so rice sinks in water. Leave to for 50 minutes to 1 hour to cook( time depends upon the rice variety). During cooking, often check whether the rice os cooked or not. Finally, when it is cooked drain the excess water into a clean bowl and rice water is ready. (Don’t throw the rice away. Eat it as your meal for it has a good amount of starch in it).

To use rice water on our hair , add 3 tbs of fenugreek seeds to one cup of rice water and leave it overnight. Add shikakai powder, amla powder or anything that’s good for your hair amd leave it overnight. Next day mix everything well using a mixer. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil into the mix.

Shampoo your hair well and pour the mixture into your hair. Massage it gently on your scalp and leave it for 15 to 20 minutes. It gives a cooling to our hair. So people who will catch cold please be careful. Rinse it off after. Use a conditioner if necessary. Do try this at home. Nothing better than rice water can boost your hair growth.

Skin Types and Its recognition

24th Jul 2020 Purple Bae

Hey gorgeous people, Hope you are all doing well. I’m back with an other useful content for those who doesn’t know their skin type. To recognize our skin type is ver important because we need to care our skin based on our skin type.If we fail to do so, our skin will have to face a lot of issues in the future. So let’s get started….

There are four types of skin types. They are dry, oily,normal and combination skin.So let’s start with the dry skin

Dry skin as seen in the picture will be very dry.The sebaceous gland in the skin will be producing a little amount of sebum or oil. That’s why this type of skin looks very dry and rough.If we closely examine this skin we can see that their pore are closed.In this type of skin chances for acne is less but they will have wrinkles and fine lines faster. Their skin will achieve maturity faster. So dry skin should be cared intensely. They should use a cream based moisturizer in order to keep their skin hydrated and also drink a lot of water.

Moving on to oily skin, This kind of skin is just opposite to dry skin. They have increased sebum production and enlarged pores.Their skin feels very greasy. This type of skin is more prone to acne and pimples. So extreme care should be given to such skin. Chances for wrinkles and fine lines are less compared to dry skin. Always use gel based products and gel based cleaser. They also should drink a lot of water amd stay hydrated.

Normal skin is a skin type which is neither too oily nor too dry. They have a perfect amount of sebum. Most of the people with normal skin are not affected by any kind of skin problems if, they care their skin properly. Normal skin also should be cared. It should be maintained well. Drink a lot of water, stay hydrated. Cleanse ,Tone and moisturize the skin twice a day (for all skin types).

And the last is combination skin. As seen in the picture and from its name, it is a combination of two skin types. Mainly seen as oily and dry. In this skin type some parts say, forehead, nose and chin area or the T- zone is seen oily and both the cheeks or the C- zone is seen normal to dry. People with this skin should be more careful because their skin character may change with season. They can have problems related to both oily and dry skin. So stay hydrated and care the skin very well.

How to check your skin type? It’s very easy to check your skin type. Wash your face with a facewash or cleanser before going to bed at night. Don’t use any other products in your face for that night. When you wake up at morning, before washing the face ,look into a mirror where there is ample lighting and start to examine. If there is a lot of oil all over your face or if it looks greasy yours is an oily skin. If it is very rough and dry you have a dry skin. If you don’t feel anything like dryness or oiliness you are lucky to have a normal skin. And next if you are oily at your T-zone but dry or normal at your C- zone, you have a combination skin. Do check your skin type today and give it proper care.
