Homemaid Remedy For Dandruff

How bad is your dandruff?

 Is your dandruff robbing your social life?

Is it destroying your self-esteem?

Try these home remedies and let me know what you think.

Dandruff 

Dandruff is very common it affects more than 50% of the population in the USA.
It's a scalp disorder that affects many people, independent of age or hair type.
Many people affected by dandruff find that it can cause social or self-esteem problems.

Some people can experience an unusual amount of flaking either chronically, medical reasons such as eczema or psoriasis or a skin condition called seborrheic dermatitis.
It can also be caused by stress, dry scalp, chemical abuse or poor diet.
But if your scalp is red or very itchy or scabby you should see your doctor.

Abusive use of hair gels, hair spray and harsh chemicals can dry your scalp resulting in itchy scalp, dandruff and hair breakage.

Although it's harmless and embarrassing but you shouldn't allow it to run your life. It can be pretty embarrassing walking around with those ugly white flakes on your shoulders but you shouldn't allow it to affect your self-esteem and destroy your life by making you anti-social.

Because all hair are not the same I'm gone list few homemade ideas treatment that may help you for dry and oily hair.

For Dry or Curly Hair

Coconut Oil

Before shampooing your hair, massage a small amount of coconut oil into your scalp, place a plastic cap and let it sit for about half an hour. Shampoo with coconut oil shampoo.


Best coconut oil shampoos and conditioner
Sulfate Free
Excelente for dry or chemically abused hair.

Olive Oil
Massage a generous amount into your scalp
cover your head with a shower cap let it sit for 
about half an hour and shampoo with olive oil shampoo.


Garlic & Honey


Garlic is naturally anti-fungal that can kill the bacteria that causes dandruff. But garlic has a very strong smell that will stick to your hair forever. 

So, crush the garlic and make a paste with honey and put it on your scalp, cover with a shower cap let it sit for about half an hour and then shampoo with olive oil/coconut shampoo.


For Oily or Caucasian Hair

Baking Soda
Baking soda reduces overactive fungi that causes dandruff.
Wet your hair and then rub a handful of baking soda into your scalp, let sit for about 15 min.
Skip the shampoo just go right to rinsing and style as usual.                                                                                         



Apple Cider Vinegar



The acidity of apple cider changes the PH of your scalp, making it a bit resistant for dandruff to grow.
Just mix a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar with a quarter cup of water in a spray bottle and spritz on your scalp. Wrap your head in a towel and let sit for 15 min to an hour then shampoo as usual. Do this treatment twice a week.




Fresh Lemon Juice 

Just as vinegar, lemon's acidity helps to balance the PH of your scalp.
Massage 2 table spoons of fresh (or bottle) lemon juice into your scalp let sit for few min than rinse
 with water. Or stir 1 table spoon of lemon juice into 1 cup of water and rinse your hair with it.
Repeat this treatment daily until your dandruff disappear.


Things to Avoid

2*Wearing a hat worsen the dandruff
3*Scratching your scalp(don't use your finger nails)
4*Dark clothing
5*Brushing, combing or touching your hair once it's fixed

Learn To Love Your Body - Flaws & All

Who Does Not Have Flaws?
We all have it!!!

Do you think God made mistake when he created you? 

God did not make mistake when he created us.

Can you imagine how long it would take God to create Eve if he asked her for her opinion on how to create her body? He probably would be there to this day! :-) 

God left some flaws on our body to humble us. Not to destroy us or make us miserable for life. Have you ever met a woman who absolutely loves her body? 

The question is not weather you have flaws on not, it's what you do with it that matters.
Low self-esteem and self-criticism are not the answer. If you're not happy with your body you can always re-shape it through healthy eating and exercise.  

"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body". 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV 

Read this heartbreaking story of Linda Perez  just because she was unable to embrace her flaws. 

Here are some ideas about what you can do to love yourself without felling inferior to others.
A Cornell University study shows that 87% of regular-weight women wish they were a size smaller? Nowadays the dissatisfaction of size and/or shape of their bodies are becoming epidemic. 

 Acknowledge Your Flaws
Trying to avoid, ignoring or pretending they are not there just because you don't want them there, never works!You must acknowledge it's there and get real about it and do something to better yourself. Feeling ashamed, depressed, uncomfortable or potentially negative about yourself is not the answer here. The more you whine and complain the more miserable you'll feel.     

Learn To Appreciate Your Body
Even if you don't like your body-shape or agree with it, you must learn to appreciate it because that's the only one you have. Hating your body, being self-judgemental, being really hard on yourself, or felling sorry for yourself does not help either!

 Learn To Love Yourself 
When you hate a part of you it can scar you for life.It can destroy your self-esteem and confidence. The antidote to fix flaws is to remember that if you do not love your yourself, nobody else will. 

Learn when to adorn or not to adorn the parts of your body you're not so trill about, so you can be happy with yourself and have self-freedom to feel fit in the society guiltless.

How To Use Make-Up In The Summer

Spring/Summer to me is all about pretty fun feminine colors

10-Summer Makeup Tips To Avoid Meltdowns, Mask & Cakey Like Effects

Remember in the summer we all face - humidity, sweat and face oils. So we need all the help we can get to look cool but yet beautiful.

Summer to me is all about embracing the essence of your natural beauty, especially if you have a nice golden tan. I like my face to be soft and natural looking, so I can show-off my tan. Summer to me is all about healthy natural glow. Remember in the summer we have to put our best face forward everyday, it's too hot to hide it under your hair. So, you want to make sure you look natural but with a radiant summer glow as well, not just bare boring tired looking face.

As soon as summer months roll in we all  look forward to wear less make-up. But wearing less makeup does mean go bear-face. It means we should have a more natural, neat-looking and barely there summer glow makeup. You should lighten up your makeup and have people wondering; is she wearing make-up? Using less makeup allows your skin to breathe and your natural beauty to shine.

Stay away from those heavy makeup that will make your face look heavy and cakey like. By midday you'll have makeup meltdown streaks and running down for face.

1- Wash your face
Start your day by washing your face with a gentle facial cleanser. Pat dry or allow it to air dry.
This ultra gentle cleanser by Neutrogena was the Award Winner of 2013 by Allure readers.

2-Moisturizer with SPF built in
SPF - means sun protection factor just in case you din't know.
Apply it lightly to keep your skin moist and protect from the harsh summer heat.
This Glow moisturizer by Clean & Clear has a very light sparkle to give you a nice healthy summer glow and it only cost $7

3- Light Water-Based Foundation or Powder
Avoid oil-based liquid and cream foundation in the summer. It will make your face look heavy and streaky and will start to run down your face midday.   it'll clog you pores and may cause your skin to brake-out. Especially if you have oily skin. Instead use a very light mineral powder foundation with an SPF. Use a Brush and blend it well so it can balance your skin tone.

4- Use Concealer if needed
Use concealer only if you really need it, if you can do without avoid it.
If needed, use it lightly under your eyes, and on blemishes if you have any.

5- Blush
This Too Faced Blush from Sephora is perfect because it has three different beautiful colors that can in all skin tone. And it's a baked color formula, meaning it's more resistant to sweat. keep it soft and natural looking as if you were born with it. :-) No one needs to know, right?

6-  Bronzer for a Beautiful Summer Glow
I love bronzer in the summer. It's really pretty in the summer and suits every skin-tone. Brush your bronzer lightly on the apples of your cheeks, your nose, your chin and your hairline. Not too heavy, keep soft looking as if you have a tan.

7-  Mate and Satin Eyeshadows
Wearing eyeshadows in the summer is really tough. But these natural soft shimmer colors are really beautiful for summer days. But use it half way around your eyes only, as shown in the picture bellow. Do not apply above your crease, because when you sweat it'll smudge and crack, it'll definitely look a mess.

 


8- Waterproof mascara and Liner
Waterproof mascara is an ideal for summer because it'll not smudge when you sweat. Just a touch of it will bring your eyes out. Brown shade is softer in the summer. You can also try to use the mascara lightly on the bottom lashes as the liner for a softer look if you want to skip the liner, or you can use waterproof liner as well.

  

9- Waterproof Mascara and Liner Remover
Waterproof mascara and liner does not come out with soap and water alone. You need this waterproof makeup remover. Any waterproof makeup remover will do the trick. You can also try coconut or olive oil.

10-Use shimmering nude lip gloss or coral and pink lipsticks
If you want a soft look apply a lip balm with an SPF to protect your lips and keep it moist, dab some shimmering eyeshadow on your lips with your finger and then top it with clear, nude, light pink or peach gloss. Or, you can go for these beautiful pink and coral lipstick. I love these colors in the summer. Summer Must Have Coral/Orange/Pink Lipsticks - Hair ...

And remember to keep it beautiful but yet elegant and clean looking so you can look as beautiful as a bright summer day. -:)))
