So witches how did last week go? Anyone tried anything? Ok, on second thought maybe i won't want to know...
Lets go with hair today. Now that i've got hair again it's my main hobby. When we did the new bathroom, we had a special place made just for our hair products. I think i tried everything on the market. GHD, Aussi, Paul Mitchel, Nicky Clark, John Frieda,Umberto Gianini, Tony&Guy etc etc. I love hair products! Specially since i've got hair again :-)
But sometimes i make my own, Because it's fun and it works.
Dandruff
Once i a while i get dandruff, special in between seasons. I know, not glamorous and in Mauritius i can't even pretend that it's snow innit! There is only one product i know but i'm not sure about the Zinc in it. However it seems to work wonders on pimples and acne!! But i never tested it. So just for that i tend to prepare my little potions.
You will need
600ml of Apple juice ( no sugar)
600ml water
125 ml cider vinegar
5 drops of tea tree essential oils
2 Drops of Lavender Essential Oils
Mix the ingredients together and use it as a final rinse after shampoo and conditioner. You know you should use conditioner on the lengths only yeah. Once a hairdresser said, '' non non non vos cheveux vont se grainer si ze metre ca sur le coco latete'' I almost died trying not to laugh. It's mean though
Headlice
Talking about dandruff shall we go on something even more gross? Headlice!
Yeah man, i'm not a mother yet (unfortunately) But i remember first days of primary school as being the nightmare of my mum because she just knew i'd come back with head lice. Oh shut up look at me in the eyes and tell me you never had little buggers in your long hair. I looked so stupid coz she sprayed my hair and gassed me with parapoux then did two braids, Yuk! Thank god i said adios to headlice when i left primary school!
So here is a recipe for you little ones.
This should be used on children over 5 years old. Not under!
You need 50 ml of non perfumed conditioner ( i get organic Care Conditioner, i got it from ebene Way, It's the most neutral i could find on the market in Mauritius)
3 Drops of Geranium Essential oil
4 Drops of Lavender essential oil
3 drops of Tea Tree
2 drops of Neem seed carrier oil
Mix all the ingredients.
here is the procedure for the treatment
Take the blend and massage onto the scalp
Leave the mixture in the head for half and hour or up to two hours.
Cover with a plastic cap to help absorption and stop the child from touching the hair. Careful mums, the eyes will sting like crazy if they get it into the eyes. This should be taken into consideration seriously. Never let essential oils getting into the eyes or mouth and mucous (e.g, women special parts)
Then comb the hair with the lice comb and get rid of those bastards.
Then rinse and shampoo as usual.
Do the first treatment every 4 days. Until they are all gone.
Scented hair Oil
If you want to smooth fly away fizzy hair after a blow dry or after using an iron here is a blissful oil. You can also use this before hair color for even absorption and protection from chemicals
You will need
25 drops of Lavender essential oil
25 drops of Sandalwood essential oil
5 drops of Clary Sage
Mix and keep in a dark glass bottle and use a drops when needed. I love the smell of this blend. You can also use a few drops on your brush or comb for a fresh scent that will get people thinking...
There are many many more tips but that will be it for today. Next week i'll go hair type by hair type. If i did all that on what post it would be the biggest post ever because i've got loads and loads to share.
Remember to like if you liked and share if you very liked. ( That's such a strange phrase!!)
