DIY Hair Mask Recipe

Sometimes keeping my hair looking healthy and shiny feels like a full-time job. I only use the best organic shampoos and conditioners, to make sure I’m not exposing my hair and skin to drying detergents and harsh chemicals. I also rinse my hair in cool water, which helps seal hair cuticles and lock in that all important moisture. It certainly wakes me up in the morning!

But whenever my hair is feeling a bit meh, I love mixing up my own natural hair masks to give it a health kick which really shows. Try it out to get smoother, happier hair.

However their is other stuff I really want to try and I wish that they sold this line in Canada but sadly  their cosmetics line is not sold here. Why'll browsing for some new hair care products to try I came across a Canadian sit called Clore Beauty Supply I found their hair card line and I knew I had to get something. Here is my first impressions review on this line :)

disclaimer: products or product shown in this post has been provided by the said brand for review and/or use

Hey today I have a blog post on a book called DIY DYE Bright & Funky Temporary Hair Coloring You Do At Home. As you can guess from the tile this book is all about dying your hair, yourself!

In this book there are 3 main parts: Get Ready, The Dyes and DIY Style. Get Ready talks about the steps you need to know before you jump into dying your hair, this part also talks about bleaching your hair and what to expect when dyeing your hair different colours.  The Dyes section of this book mention different dyeing techniques like how to bleach hair, hair chalking, how to dye hair with Kool Aid (YUP you can dye your hair with Kool Aid) and much more techniques. What is most interesting to me is the Henna section because I want to try Lush Cosmetics Henna Bar and this help me to better understand how Henna works. The last section of this book is the DIY Style which is all about the different styles in which you can dye your hair for example ombre and tip dye.

Overall this is a good book if your looking for new and safer ways to dye your hair and also a great book to read if you have never dye your hair before and you want to.

GUEST POST: THE SECRETS TO SHINY HAIR - BY ABBY

The Secrets to Shiny Hair

A great hairstyle is every woman’s dream. But wouldn’t it be nicer if you can have brilliant shine too? Shiny hair is able to reflect light better so it comes with a glossy finish. In addition to having beautiful looking locks, shiny hair is also a good indicator of healthy hair.

If you want to put the shine back to your strands, we’ve got a few tips that you can use to give your hair that radiant glow.

Straighten Up Hair

Straight hair is able to reflect light more effectively than ones with curls and waves do. However, it does not mean that other hair textures (such as those with naturally curly hair) can’t have shiny hair. It basically refers to the behavior of the cuticles. Make sure you straighten your hair in order to smooth the cuticle. You can also get additional benefit of fighting frizz too.

Natural Oil is Your Friend

Natural oils such as olive oil or coconut oil are nature’s gift to your hair. When you use these oils on your hair, it will give you instant shine by smoothing out the cuticles and giving a glossy finish to the strands’ surface. Make sure to look for these ingredients when shopping for hair care products. Or, you can also prepare your own homemade hair masks using either coconut or olive oil as ingredients. If you can leave the homemade mask overnight, it would provide even better results as the oils’ nourishing qualities are absorbed into the strands to improve follicles.

Cool Air or Water

A lot of women use heat styling tools on a regular basis, which can be counter-productive in your efforts to getting optimum shine. The heat dries up the hair and makes it look dry and brittle. But if you want to keep your locks looking shiny, make sure to end your styling with a blast of cool air or end your shower with a cold water rinse. The cool water or air helps to seal in the shine as it closes the cuticles. It is therefore a good finishing technique for styling or washing your hair. You not only get a nice hint of shine but also keep the result for a longer time.

Use Hair Serum

This product is excellent for many things but you should make it your best friend when you aspire to have shiny hair. The formula is designed to fight frizz and provide a sleek sheen to your locks. Use a pea sized amount of hair serum and work it to the bottom of your hair first. Then, slowly work your way up. Ideally, you must use hair serum on wet to damp hair. This product will incorporate moisture into your hair and that sleek finish, too.

Undergo Replenishing Treatment

A replenishing treatment is recommended for those who aspire to have shiny hair. A regular hot oil treatment can work for this purpose. Just make sure that you leave it onto your hair for a suitable amount of time to ensure that all of the beneficial and nourishing properties are completely absorbed. Healthy hair will naturally look shiny!

Hair Gloss

This is another effective and reliable treatment for women who want to have shiny hair. However, it is important that you leave it to a professional hairstylist to perform gloss treatment on your hair. This is also excellent for women with colored hair because the gloss will not only make your locks shiny, but also enhances the color.

GUEST POST: LESLEY'S TOP PRODUCTS FOR HEALTHY HAIR

Hi Kayla’s readers, my name is Lesley and I’m obsessed with all things hair. I talk mostly about 

hair care on my blog, Fresh Lengths, with a heavy focus on growing long relaxed hair. For as long as 

I can remember I’ve been a total product junkie, so I thought I’d share some of my favourite products currently which have helped me maintain the condition of my hair.

1. Moisturiser

My hair type is naturally dry which means it craves constant moisture. To give my hair that fix I like 

to use light products, which won’t weigh my hair down or make it too oily as my hair is a mix of fine 

and medium strands. My favourite leave-ins currently are Root2Tip's Triple M Miracle Moisture Milk 

and Mixed Roots Curl Control Leave-In Lotion. 

2. Conditioner 

As I can't use a huge amount if moisturiser I rely on deep conditioners to thoroughly hydrate and 

revive my hair. I've used a lot of great conditioners as I'm a product junkie but my staple for some 

time has been Joico Moisture Recovery Treatment Balm. It's really thick and I don't need a massive 

amount to reap the benefits. It is on the pricey side as it's a salon brand but I've not found anything 

that compares! I've tried other products by Joico too and this particular product remains my 

favourite. 

3. Oil

I have a crazy amount oils which never get used for cooking. I love using natural oils on my skin and 

hair as they have so many benefits. I have quite an oily scalp, so I like to use oils most on my ends 

as a pre shampoo treatment. My favourite oil at the moment is Coconut Oil. I usually apply about a 

teaspoon to the ends for about 10-15 minutes and this helps prevent my hair from drying out during 

the shampoo process. Since I’ve been using Coconut Oil regularly my ends have stayed in great 

condition. 

4. Flat Iron

I don’t use heat often as I don’t want to damage my hair, but when I do I reach for my Coroliss flat 

iron. It gets my coily hair super smooth with minimal heat. There’s a temperature dial so you can 

choose how hot it gets and the plates ‘float’ preventing overheating on one spot of the hair. I’ve 

tried quite a few brands of flat-irons and this is without a doubt one of my favourites. 

5. Scissors 

I know it’s a bit of a weird addition to my ‘top’ hair products, but I could not live without my hair 

scissors! I cut my own hair and rely mostly on very small trims to get rid of any damage or split 

ends. I believe that the key to maintaining long or healthy hair lies in trimming when necessary. For a 

long time I ran from the scissors as I thought it meant my hair would be forever short, but since I’ve 

embraced them I’ve found that’s not the case at all.

What are your top hair products?

Review

The first product I tried was the Amazon With Clay Thickening Styling Crème which like all of there products adds body & richness into fin, thin and lifeless hair. I personally don't use styling crèmes I prefer using oils in my hair to style. How ever I liked and use this crème when I put my hair in pony tails and buns. Fall is here and that means wet weather when ever it rains I always wear my hair up and this is great to help the fly away hairs to stay down. It doesn't leave any white residue behind in your hair which is great because some styling crèmes do. However I did find the scent of this product to be to strong for my liking. Amazon White Clay Thickening Leave In Mist I have been using after I wash my hair, I think this products helps to leave your hair soft and it smells great. It has the same smell as the crème but it's not as strong of a smell as the crème. Like this crème this too helps to add body & richness to your hair.
