6 SHOWER HACKS


Do you always have a bad hair day when you shower? Just can’t get those long tresses to lie flat, can you? Well, if your hair gets on your nerves or gets messy, this post is exactly what you need to read. Here, I will talk about some shower tips on how to keep your hair thick and shiny.
Listed here are some tips that will help you get that lovely mane in no time!

Hair Shower Tricks For Healthy Hair:

1. Shampoo The Right Way:

Usually, people use most of shampoo on the general hair length. However, experts say that shampooing the scalp, roots and the nape is more effective as these are the spots where dirt tends to collect. Avoid using too much shampoo on the ends, as it can cause dryness.

2. Avoid Hot Water:

While warm water baths are quite refreshing and rejuvenating, they can also have adverse effects on the skin and hair. Hot water shower can strip the hair of essential oil, which can lead to tangled hair. Even if hot water seems divine, lukewarm water is the safest bet.

3. Don’t Shampoo Often:

One of the ways we tend to damage our hair is by over-shampooing. Use only the needed amount of shampoo. Excess shampoo can wear out the ends and dry up your hair; hence shampoo twice in week to keep your hair healthy.

4. Keep Showers Short:

Prolonged showers can do more harm than good and you should try and keep your shower time down to minimum. Experts say that showers that last for more than 10 minutes usually wash away essential oils from the hair. Even if that long drawn out shower seems like the best thing in the world, you are certainly not doing your hair any favor by indulging yourself.

5. Conditioning Hair:

 Instead of using a regular conditioner, consider deep conditioning your hair once in two weeks. The best way to use a conditioner is to apply it just before you step into a shower and shampoo your hair. You can use some oil like coconut oil or even a little olive oil to moisturize your freshly shampooed hair.

6. Pat Dry:

The best way to dry your hair is to pat them dry. Pat-drying may be a lengthier process, but it is gentler on the hair and much more effective.

The next time you take a shower, remember these shower tips for healthy hair. Leave a comment below. have a good hair day :D

9 beauty benefits of lemon

Hi guys, I know its been a long time since I blogged but I have so many things on my plate right now that it just gets really hard to make time for blogging but anyways as you can see today blog is 9 BEAUTY BENEFITS OF LEMON-  YOU SHOULD KNOW. So if you're interested then keep on reading :) 


Lemons are a great source of calcium, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium -- minerals and antioxidants that improve the appearance and condition of our hair, skin and nails. So we present nine awesome uses for lemons you should know. 

Tip: Keep in mind that lemon juice should not be left on the body for extended periods of time and may have severe reactions when exposed to the sun. Always consult with your doctor if you have any concerns.



1. They heal acne and remove blackheads. Lemons' antibacterial and antifungal properties make them a natural alternative to treat acne. Simply slice open a lemon and rub it across your face. Or you can add a few drops of honey to a lemon half before applying it directly to the area where you have blackheads. Wait five to 10 minutes before rinsing off with cold water.
2. They lighten dark spots and blemishes. Acne scars and marks are embarrassing and a pain to get rid of. Lemon juice's citric acid gradually fades spots and evens your skin tone. Be cautious of open wounds or cuts on the face, as it can sting real bad.
3. They whiten teeth. Professional teeth whitening treatments can cost a fortune. Save yourself a lot of money and time with a homemade teeth whitener using baking soda and lemon juice. Mix the two ingredients into a bubbly solution and put onto your teeth with a Q-tip. Leave on for no more than one minute (the acid is strong enough to break down tooth enamel) and gently scrub off with a toothbrush.
4. They get rid of oily skin. We've tested out some pretty weird ways to bring down the shine on our faces, including laxatives. But swiping a cotton swab with a little lemon juice is just as effective. Try doing this before bed and washing your face the next morning to prevent oily skin.
5. They brighten your hair color. The cheapest highlights you'll ever pay for involve making a trip to the grocery store to buy lemons. Combine lemon juice and hair conditioner, comb through strands, sit in the sun for a few hours and wash out. Repeat these steps at least once a week, and you will notice that your hair is significantly lighter.
6. They strengthen nails. There are tons of nail hardeners on the shelves at your local drugstore, but you can get the same results -- and naturally -- using olive oil and lemon juice. The solution will not only condition weak and brittle nails, but it will also whiten yellowing nails.
7. They calm dry scalp and remedy dandruff. We're huge believers in DIY hair masks. Massaging a combination of household staples like coconut oil, olive oil and raw honey with lemon juice onto your scalp is a simple solution for dry scalp and dandruff.
8. They soothe chapped lips. Another overnight beauty treatment that only requires slicing open a lemon is an exfoliant for chapped lips. Rub the fruit onto your pucker, then wash off the next morning. The lemon juice will remove any dead skin cells so that your lipstick goes on super smooth.
9. They cleanse the face and body. If you're unsure about what's lurking inside your favorite face or body wash, you can always be certain with a homemade cleanser made out of lemon juice, yogurt and an essential oil like lavender or chamomile. Massage this on to remove dirt and bacteria, while moisturizing your skin at the same time.

ALL THAT'S GUYS, if you have any queries regarding you can mail me bavi.pria@gmail.com. love you all, have a lovely day.

    5 EASY EGG FACIALS AT HOME

    Egg is a wonderful and natural product that can be used for skincare. And, actually, facial masks with
    the use of an egg are very effective! Egg whites help brighten up and tighten the skin,
    while egg yolks are rich in vitamin A, pure proteins and nutrients!

    In this post we want to share with you five homemade, effective facial masks with the use of an egg:

    1) Egg facial
    First egg mask is very simple. No need of other ingredients – just apply one yolk of an egg on your clean face and when it’s half dry (in about 5 minutes), wash it off with lukewarm water. Your skin will be nourished, and will become very soft and hydrated. It’s good to make this face mask once in a while, when you don’t have time for complicated treatments and when you’re after quick results
    .
    2) Egg, plain cream and carrot juice face mask 
    Here is another homemade face mask with the use of wonderful natural ingredients: mix one egg yolk with a tablespoon of thick plain cream and add a tablespoon of freshly made carrot juice. Apply this mask to your face for about 5-10 minutes and then, wash it off with warm, and then cold water. Your face will feel refreshed and nourished; the contrasting water rinse at the end will help tone your skin and stimulate blood circulation.

    3) Egg white and corn flour facial treatment 
    Here is another homemade facial mask recipe, which is very simple to make, yet very effective: mix a tablespoon of corn flour with one egg white. Apply it to your skin and leave it on until the mask is almost dry (about 5 minutes). Wash your face with warm and then, cold water (warm and cold water contrast helps stimulate blood circulation in your skin, and also, cold water splashes at the end of facial treatments help close pores). This mask will cleanse your skin and will make your pores less visible.
    4) Evening facial treatment with egg yolk and olive oil
     Here is another very simple, hydrating homemade facial mask, which can be done before bed time: take one egg yolk, mix it with a tablespoon of olive oil (olive oil is very beneficial for your skin, but we will talk about it more in depth in another article) and apply this mask to your face and neck. Cover it up with slightly warmed up towel (make holes for your eyes and nose in your towel), in 5-10 minutes wash your face and neck with warm water.

    5) Honey, wheat flour and egg white face mask
    And here is the last variation of egg face mask: mix one egg white with a tablespoon of wheat flour and a teaspoon of honey. Apply this mask to your face and wash it off in 5-10 minutes. Your skin will feel very soft and velvety. And the best part – it’s all natural!

    I hope you found some of these tips useful. What are your favorite homemade facial masks with the use of an egg? Please share your thoughts and beauty tips in the comment section below.
