Natural Hair Mask For Damaged Hair

 

 

When I was in Turkey I noticed my hair began to get more dry and damaged, due to the chlorine in the pool and the sun, so when I got home I tried different treatments to try and tackle the problem, although some only made it worse.

 

 

So I thought that I would try a more natural treatment, which worked a treat!

 

What I used was a mix of honey and olive oil, honey adds moisture, nutrients and antioxidants to the hair which is said to encourage growth, where the olive all also adds moisture but also helps to keep your scalp healthy. Raw honey would work best for this but if you don't have any that's fine I just used gales original honey.

 

I used 3 table spoons of honey then added the olive oil until it thinned out the honey which was around 2-3 table spoons, its important to thin out the honey so that it washes out of your hair easier and doesn't leave you with a sticky mess. You may find it easier to put the honey in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to mix together, but make sure you leave it to cool down slightly so it doesn't burn you!

 

Next I wet my hair and added the mix, starting at the tips and working back into my roots, then I left the mix in for around 20-30 minutes, then I rinsed it out and washed my hair using my usual shampoo and conditioner.

 

At first I wasn't sure if this would work but once my hair was dry I saw amazing results, my hair had lost most of the straw like feeling and was shiny, smooth and all of my natural highlights seemed to show more, also there was more volume. A down side I did notice was, once my hair was dry my roots seemed to look a little greasy so make sure you thoroughly wash all of the mix out or you may have to wash your hair again, but compared to the results I got, I hardly see that as a down side.

 

To dry my hair I towel dried it then used the hair drier until most of my hair was dry, then left the rest to air dry. Usually when I do this my hair dries huge and the outer layers go extremely frizzy, and its hard to brush through, and brushing through it only makes it bigger, but not this time! This time my hair dried in beachy waves  and was super easy to brush through and it wasn't frizzy, just really shiny and looked styled so I will definitely try this again.

 

I plan to use this mask maybe once a week or once every two weeks as I hope to see the results improve over time and also because I its summer and I want to try and keep my hair as healthy as I can.

 

**One last tip - when you do this make sure its in old clothes because the oil will stain!**

I hope this works for you guy!

I'm Back

So I just finished my first year of college and then went on holiday to Turkey, from a young age iv always travelled, mostly around Europe, but Scotland and Ireland are still my favourite places to be. Although, I went to Turkey for the first time last year and its safe to say its now one of my fave's and I hope to travel there more over the years to come.

Even though I just got back off holiday I feel like the last 11 days were just a dream, and I want to go back, but while I was there I had time to reflect on other places I would like to visit:

1. Bali
2.Switzerland
3.Australia & New Zealand
4.Thailand
5.Japan

In September I am happy to say I will be crossing Switzerland off my list, although I have been there before when I was really young I don't remember it so I'm happy to be going back even if it's only for 4 days.

That's it for me tonight,  shall hopefully resume the beauty posts again once I get my head in to writing mode again.

Update!

I was hoping to put a new blog up everyday last week, but the week turned out to be very stressful, so Thursday was the last day I uploaded! I'm so sorry about that, even though I haven't been writing, I have been checking up on my blog, and my views have been slowly going up, without me posting on social media sites. Seeing that makes me really happy, and I was wondering are some of you people coming back to read new posts or are you all new readers?

I'd also like to say hi to all my Russian readers, who seem to always pop up in my stats!

I finish college on Wednesday, which means I shall hopefully upload a new post that night or the morning after.

That was just a quick update to say I'm sorry for the lack of posts, I'd like to thank you all for reading my blog!

Turkey Table Tennis!

Looking through pictures on my laptop, I came across some pictures from when I was in Turkey last year, and some of my favourite pictures are playing table tennis on one of the last nights, with my best friends brother.

It was in a restaurant right on the see front, and over our heads there was a canopy covered in grape vines, there were even bunches of grapes hanging down.

Grape vines

I'm wearing: Playsuit Primark
Denim shirt New Look
Shoes Primark

before we started playing we had eaten at the restaurant next door, and I had chosen a chicken meal (that I cant remember the name of but it tasted so good) I'm not sure what they put in there rice over there but it tastes so good!


yummie!

Its a week on Sunday until I go again and I'm super excited! I'll keep you update!

Face mask!

I love using new face products, such as face masks and cleansers, but I also like to try out simple, natural, home made products, this is because they aren't chemical based which makes them much healthier for your skin!

I am going to make a honey and lemon face mask the reason I chose this is because one of the benefits of this mask is to help with sun spots and I thought this will be a great mask to use after I get back from Turkey.

This product is super simple and easy to make:

• The juice of half a lemon
• 2 table spoons of honey 

Spread it over your face, avoiding your eyes and also any broken skin, because it will sting.

Leave on your face for 10-20 minutes

Once the mask has been on for about 20 minutes I gently buffed it in to my face with an exfoliating brush, before I cleaned my face with a gentle daily cleanser to make sure the mixture was all off  my face, I then patted my face dry.

After I used the Simple Toner, then put my eye cream on before going to bed.

After using this mask for the first time I was quite happy with the results, it reduced the redness of my spots and left my skin super soft, it didn't reduce redness around my nose because I am ill and keep needing to use tissues but, I have some of the mask left so I'm going to carry on using them over the next few days to see if there are any more results, but so far I am loving this super simple mixture.

Apple smothie

As iv said before I'm trying to eat healthy, and I'm not going to lie too you when I say I am sitting here drinking a can of coke. But I have been making small changes to my diet, because before when I have tried to eat healthy I cut all junk food frim my diet and that just made me want them more. So instead I am taking small steps.

I have began making myself smoothie's, this is because, are quick and easy to make, you can decide what you want to use and what amounts, also they are super tasty! The first smoothie I made was apple and avocado, and I loved it, so here is the recipe I used:

1 apple cored and skinned (any apple of your choice)
1/2  ripe avocado
1/2 cup apple juice
1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lime

Now I can sit here and tell you what I put in and how healthy it is, but I believe it would be much better for you to actual know what the health benefits of this smoothie are.

Apple- provides fibre and the plant nutrient pectin, which can help lower cholesterol, can help prevent cancer, helps to boost your immune system.

Avocado-Good source of fibre, contains on average 4 grams of protein, vitamins k,b5, b6, folate and potassium and soluble vitamin E. Folate helps protect the heart and prevent strokes, also lowers cholesterol, can help prevent against eye disease and also some cancers!

So silly me forgot to take a picture of the smoothie but take it from me it was delicious!

Trouser Love!

Quite recently I have be loving trousers more and more, over the last few years I have mostly stuck to skinny jeans, but now I'm venturing more in to trousers, so after looking around I have decided to dedicate this post to my new found love for trousers!

H&M... and that is all I have to say! I absolutely love that shop, the clothes are really well made, are designed well and at great prices, so after looking at there website I instantly fell in love, so here are a few of my choices.

Orange!

Iv started with these because they are orange, which is my favourite colour. But other than that I love how these are fitted, because they are slightly baggy, which will make them super comfortable but also they will keep you a little bit cooler in the summer, rather than wearing skinny fitted trousers. I think these could be used as part of a casual outfit but could be dressed up if needed.

Love the pattern

 I saw these and at first I didn't know what to make of them but after looking at the patterned zoomed in slightly my love for them grew. usually wearing blue trousers isn't something that comes into my mind, but now I'm a bit more opened minded when it comes to colour, also the pattern is so cute, it looks like small leaves, with lighter blue specks around them, I like how baggy they are and think they will be perfect for a summers night.


Animal Print!



 

Having a few pairs of black leggings in your wardrobe is a must but after stumbling across these I began thinking how good these would look with a plain to and a bit of jewellery, which would be a very simple and casual look for day to day life.

 

Now when I saw these I immediately knew that I needed to put these treggins in this post! These look like a pair of black jeans from the back, but then the front is covered in sparkling sequin's, they are just so beautiful and that is all I have to say about that!

• Zebra Jersey Leggins £12.99
• Treggings £29.99
• Blue Patterned Trousers £14.99
• Cow Print Jersey Leggings £9.99
• Orange Trousers £19.99

 

So that's all for this post
