Hair Beauty Secrets From Your Kitchen !



"Every girl dreams of having long, shinning and healthy hair just like Rapunzel. It doesn’t matter whether you are born with healthy hair or with an unruly mane, it is important to take care of those tresses"


If you are tired of using chemical laden hair products that make big promises but disappoint you when it comes to results then stop looking and just read on to find out about some simple DIY you will find in your kitchen that will prove miraculous for your hair !
Look to your kitchen for the BEST conditioners to moisturize and revitalize your hair!

Four different masks for each type of hair that you can easily make in minutes using all-natural ingredients you probably have sitting in your refrigerator or cupboard right now!

                           

DRY HAIR – Olive Oil and Egg    

In need of some major TLC?? Combine three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil with two eggs and apply the mixture to your hair and let the mixture sit for 20 minutes before rinsing in the shower.

The olive oil will help hydrate brittle locks, while the protein in the eggs will promote healthy hair growth.


ALL HAIR TYPES — Avocado and Honey




Mask a ripened avocado and mix in a tablespoon of organic honey and allow it to sit for 20 minutes before rinsing it off in the shower.


Avocados are rich in a variety of vitamins and nutrients, including vitamin E and protein, both of which your hair needs to remain soft and healthy  



OILY HAIR -  Apple Cider Vinegar & Lemon




Combine 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar with the grated peel of an entire lemon and allow it to set for 15 minutes to absorb the excess oil from your scalp, and then rinse in the shower.

Apple cider vinegar will remove build up from styling products and conditioners and strengthen the hair shaft, leaving you with soft, shiny strands.
It will also balance hair’s pH level, kill bacteria, and is a cure for dandruff.

DRY, Flaky Scalp Hair - Banana, Honey and Almond






Mash together 1/2 a ripe banana and add two tablespoons of honey and a few drops of almond oil and allow it to set with a shower cap on for 20 minutes before rinsing.
Bananas can increase the moisture of your hair, smooth frizz and soothe your itchy scalp.




     



Choose the one that fits you better and bring your hair back to life!! There is no need to buy the priciest conditioners on the market to moisturize
        
Thats all For Now :*
Stay Beautiful

Weekend Beauty Tips

Hello my lovelies!!
Hope you’re having a great weekend!!!! We have compiled few beauty tips to keep you glowing the whole week long!

Stimulate hair growth with Castor Oil
If you want to grow your hair within a few weeks, then no other oil can be as good as castor oil. When you use this oil regularly on your scalp, it boosts blood circulation to the follicles, leading to hair growth. Pssssttt... you can also apply it on your eyelash for thick luscious lashes, just fill some castor oil in an empty mascara and apply it every night just like how you would apply mascara.

 It even supplies omega-6 essential fatty acids that is needed to grow healthy hair. Apply the oil and leave it overnight, covered with a cap for deep penetration. Wash it off the next day.










Toothpaste
Have yellow nails? Scrub them with toothpaste to remove stains and add shine. You can also add a few drops of lemon juice for extra whitening; it’s a natural bleaching agent. 












Body Lotion 
To tame unwanted flyaways, rub a dime-size amount of hand or body lotion in your palms and brush lightly on problem spots. We would also recommend baby oil to tame loose strands of hair if you want a sleek look.

Petroleum Jelly

Help avoid blisters from those stylish-yet-painful stilettos by coating problem spots with petroleum jelly before slipping shoes on. Also: Neaten a nail job by dabbing on skin around your cuticles pre-polish. This way, if you make a mistake, the polish is easily wiped away.
 

Clear Scotch Tape

Remove dry skin from lips by pressing the sticky side of tape to your pucker, or see what a nail polish color will look like without the mess by placing a small piece on your nail and doing a quick test.

5 basic beauty tips

Hey guys, hope your having a good weekend. So, we are gona be positng 5 beauty tips every weekend so you guys can follow these simple and easy routine to keep your self all the more beautiful!! <3

5 beauty tips eveyone should know


-Dry Out Pimples


Believe it or not, dabbing toothpaste onto a pimple is a quick and easy way to dry it out.



-Soften Skin
Immediately after stepping out of a shower, pool or lake/ocean, apply some sort of cream to skin. Water washes away the skin's natural oils and applying moisture cream will prevent skin chapping.




-Create Fuller Lips
If you're sick of having thin, pursed puckers, extend your lip line using a neutral-toned lip liner. Then apply lipstick over top. Be careful though -- don't extend your lip line too much.



-Stop Taking Supplements   
It's true the healthier you are, the healthier your skin and hair will be. But popping supplements without discussing them with your doctor can do more harm than good. Why? Because mixing certain vitamins and minerals can have the opposite effect of what you're hoping. Talk to your doc before popping any pills.









-Remove Nail Polish Without Remover
If you run out of nail polish remover, you can remove cracked or chipped nail polish by applying a clear top coat to the nail and removing it promptly with a cotton ball.





We hope you guys found these tips useful. Feel free to leave us comments or email us on voguealacarte@gmail.com. Until another post xoxo my lovelies.. <3
