Shiny hair

[Catalina]

To add sheen to your hair, mix the juice of one fresh Orange, Water, 1 tablespoon of Honey and 5 drops of Sandalwood Oil.

Use as an after-shampoo rinse for fabulous and perfumed hair!

Do you have any other secret remedy to shiny,lustrous hair??

Really this looks nice indeed!! I never heard about sandalwood oil!! Where do we get that?? Well I often use some beer mixed with eggs for my curly hairs and allow it to rest for some time!! It makes them look sparkling and well ordered!! It smells a bit but this odor fades away after thorough washing with shampoo!!

I guess the sandal wood oil is just to add perfume to the hair.I have never heard about this recipe before. But since i have long and dry hair , I will give it a try and see what happends if it is really true that brings sheen to the hair.

I don't have any other secret apart from using the usual shampoo yes neely the sandal wood is good perfume as far as the orange is concerned, are you sure they make the hair shiny orange contain acid.

Hi Catalina, what if we drink the fresh orange juice, water and honey as i have always been doing, i bet you, it is more effective as it will also treat the skin together with the hair, isn't it better?

Hi Catarina,
I will give the perfect day by day time plan for perfect shiny hair. i will post a 7 day plan which will start today.
" When hair gleams, self-esteem is doubled. how your hair looks affects how you feel"
So here we go: DAY 1

The Cutting Edge

It's been estimated that, by the time hair reaches shoulder length, the ends have been washed more than 500 times - that's a lot of wear and tear. The
outer layer, or cuticle, of every hair contains overlapping scales (like roof tiles). When they lie flat, they reflect light, to make your hair look smooth and shiny. lf the tile effect is ripped up-as with split ends- shine disappears. Products that promise to mend split ends act like glue to seal the cuticle back together again, but the results aren't totally convincing. So if it's months since you've been to a hairdresser, then you're long overdue for a visit

Discuss the cutting technique your stylist intends to use. For instance, blunt layers cunningly forked through hair can actually promote shine by helping to reflect light.

Hello, try this vinegar rinse for a DIY shine-booster that really works:

#Add a cup of white vinegar to a jug of hot water. Allow this to cool until it reaches a safe temperature, while you shampoo and rinse your hair.

#Then, holding your head over a bowl, rinse your hair repeatedly with the vinegar, gathering the liquid from the bowl each time.

#Finish by rinsing in cold water. This will flatten the cuticle and increase shine. Try this regularly - every couple of months or so.

A simple diet for the hair girls!! it is very important if you want your hair to be perfect!!

• Choose food that are rich in protein, such as lean meat, poultry, fish and cheese to boost production of the hair protein, keratin.
• Aim to eat at least three pieces of fruit a day - your hair needs vitamin C.
• Step up your intake of whole grains, such as wholewheat pasta, oatmeal, barley and brown rice, which are rich in B-group vitamins, essential for healthy hair. Women are often deficient in these , so it may be worthwhile taking a supplement, for instance, Brewer's yeast.
• Most importantly, eat regurlarly. Unhealthy hair is often due to not getting enough energy through your diet.

Ciao

HI Girls, Heres the plan for DAY 2


Hairdressers are constantly amazed at how many people don't know how to wash their hair properly. Developing a good cleansing technique could make a huge difference to the condition of your hair. The professional way is to soak
your hair in water as warm as you can comfortably stand. Then measure out shampoo to the size of a 50 cent piece on your palm and massage it into your scalp and down to the ends of your hair. Use gentle, rhythmic actions - don't rub. Lather is no measure of how effective a shampoo is. Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear. If you wash your hair every few days, then repeat the process. But if you shampoo daily, once should be enough, and use a mild shampoo designed for frequent use. If hair is not responding to daily cleansing, cut down to every second or third day and use styling products to revitalise your style between washes,Few products are as misunderstood as conditioner. "A common mistake is to overload hair," "Concentrate the conditioner on the places that need it - usually the ends. You may find that hair gets more body as well as shine. If a conditioner is too heavy, it can actually drag hair down."

thats all for today
See you tommorrow
