I told you that I would share some of my favorite beauty products and one that I love for my hair is uniq one All In One Hair Treatment. It does so much for my hair! It does ten things in one to your hair. This spray on treatment is a UVA and UVB protector for your hair. It also controls frizz and gives your hair shine. This product gives your hair body, detangles, Uniq one makes it easier to brush and flat iron making your hair smooth and silky. It also gives you heat protection from your dryer, curling iron, or hot rollers. Uniq one also repairs dry or damaged hair. All of that in one bottle that is why it is called uniq one.

A miracle fruit.

 So recently I whipped up another on of Crunchy Betty’s recipes, but this time it was a hair mask. My hair has been feeling really dry so I thought hey, why not find a natural mask to cure that?

So I started cutting it up (a messy process because I am just bad at kitchen work sigh).

Terrible cutting skills. This is literally how I cut the pieces up, in irregular sized chunks.

So after ‘slicing’ the avocados, I blended them in with some yogurt and added a bit of olive oil to that mixture. The next picture reveals the final product!

So I tried to apply that goop neatly to my hair. I failed.

But I did leave it in for a long while (close to an entire episode about half an hour, 45 mins maybe?). While removing it was a pain, I did feel as though the mask softened my hair. It has been softish for a few days since. I wouldn’t mind trying the mask again actually, but this time round, I’d wait for the avocado to be a little squishier, and I’d add more oil to it. My dry hair needs that. 

(If anyone actually gets to the end of the post, I apologise for any mistakes, I just wanted to get this post out quickly!)

Cocolicious!

Unfortunately, this is reality and that is hugely unlikely however, you will end up with gorgeous skin and hair if you are willing to make room in your life for this wonder product and its myriad of uses!

1. As a moisturiser

   This is probably my favourite way to use coconut oil as it works so well to sooth my frustratingly dry skin. The most interesting property is that it mimics the skins own oils like Jojoba and melts into the skin easily, providing excellent hydration. Along with this, it also has a delicious light coconut scent that doesn’t overpower.
   If that isn’t enough to convince you, please see this below review  in text from my lovely sister. She’s right you know.

   

   Best. Review. Ever.

2. As a hair oil and treatment
   This was the first reason I came to worship at the altar of coconut oil, to make my poor weak little head of hair grow. And boy is it a good one! Coconut oil is one of the few oils that have been proven to penetrate the hair shaft to actually hydrate from the inside. Hooray! I personally use this sparingly, as my hair is so oily and fine, however when my hair is dry, I use this as a treatment which helps greatly. However, my sister uses it as a hair serum in her thick, long, wavy hair.
   The only thing to be wary of is how extra hydrating it can be. A very tiny little bit goes a long way, and if you use too much, it can require  some vigorous washing.
3. As an oil cleanser
   As I’ve written about previously, oil cleansing is one of the nicest things you can do or your skin, giving it optimal cleansing and moisturising at the same time. I previously used a mixture of jojoba, olive oil and castor oil, however over time I found the castor oil very drying. So now I’ve skipped straight to the hydrating part and my skin is a big fan!
4. As a shaving oil

   Shaving cream is expensive and boring, and soap is drying, so whats a girl to do? Move to oil silly! I started to use olive oil as a shaving oil recently, after finding my skin was disgustingly dry afer shaving, however I fund the olive oil a bit runny – enter coconut oil. As with using it as a moisturiser, it goes on nicely and helps hydrate as you shave, plus it smells amazing.

Fortunately, with coconut oil growing in popularity, you can buy it in so many places now. I bought my jar from the health food shop, however I’ve noticed Coles and Woolworths have started to carry it in the health food/organic sections, I even saw a big cheap jar at Costco. It’s around $10-15 a jar, however, it does go a long way, and considering its uses, it’s a stone cold bargain!

Ever used coconut oil? Is it something you’d try?

It’s no secret – I heart coconut oil! There are lots of uses for coconut oil, but today I want to share some of the beauty perks of this lovely little oil.

“Ideal for baking & Sauteing” … and beauty!

Body

• Body scrub! By far my favourite use for coconut oil is to mix it with some white sugar and create a dynamite exfoliating scrub. Not only does this baby smell good enough to eat (and yes…I may have eaten it once or twice), but it’s crazy effective – the best scrub I’ve ever used! This is super simple to make and you can find the recipe here!
• Moisturiser – simply scoop out a blob of oil and massage it all over your body. It smells ah-mazing and works wonderfully as an intense moisturising treatment. This one is probably best kept for night time right before bed..unless you liked that oiled up look. For me, that look only works on a shirtless Ryan Gosling…. wait.. what were we talking about?

Face

• Lip scrub! Same formula as the body scrub, you can use this baby on your lips too. The sugar is a great exfoliant and the oil moisturises the lips! I like to do this right before I apply lipstick as it preps the lips really well. 
• Lip balm – well, not really a balm..but lip oil doesn’t sound too appealing. I like to put coconut oil on my lips right before I fall asleep at night.
• Eye oil – pat a little on the delicate skin around the eyes as part of your night-time skin care routine.
• Makeup remover – use a cotton round and a little coconut oil and sweep it over your face.

Hair

• Deep conditioning treatment – I use coconut oil when I wan’t to really nourish my hair. Just work some oil into dry hair, tie your hair up into a bun and leave it for at least 20 mins. Then just pop in the shower and wash your hair as normal!
• Deep deeeeeeep conditioning treatment – if you want the supersize of all deep treatments then instead of shampooing out the oil after 20 minutes or so, you can sleep with the oil in your hair and wash it out in the morning. Just make sure you pop a disposable showercap on so you don’t get oil on your bed linens!
• Leave in conditioner – just like moroccan oil preparations and other leave in conditioners, you can work a small bit of coconut oil through towel dried hair.
• Defrizz – If your hair is temperamental like mine and likes to get frizzy and static in winter (sexyyyy) then take a teeny tiny drop of coconut oil, rub it between your palms, and work it into the very ends of your dry hair. It will control that annoying frizz – and it smells soooo good! Oh did I tell you I like the smell of coconut oil?

Coconut oil is available from health food stores and some supermarkets. And it’s cheap as chips too! Maybe not fancy pants chips, but if we were comparing it to doritos… yep it’s as cheap as chips! I would recommend sticking to the cold pressed extra virgin coconut oil : )

Are you a lover of coconut oil? What do you use it for?

So if you got a chance to read my preview review, you might have read that I have stopped using conditioner. Conditioners are not bad, but finding the right conditioner for you is tough. Conditioner is good for those who have damaged or very thick and coarse hair. I have none of these things. For someone like me who has fine and overall healthy hair, conditioner can actually weigh down the hair making it look more dull and limp. Also for those who do use conditioner and experience scalp irritation, there is a connection to make. Most conditioners contain many chemicals and what makes them work is the way the product coats your hair making it look shiny. Heavy conditioners should only be applied to your hair shaft and tips, and applying it to your scalp can result in the chemical buildup on your scalp that can cause irritation.

What I turned to is an all natural Rosemary Treatment that acts as a natural conditioner. I use it almost everyday after I wash my hair and in between washes and so far, I can really feel my hair looking healthier after only a few days.

What you will need:

- A spray bottle: I got mine from Dollarama

- Rosemary Essential Oil: from any health foods store

- Boiling water

Instructions:

1. Boil some water in a kettle and fill the bottle about half way of the boiled water (2-3 cups)

2. To this add about 12 drops of Rosemary

3. Close the bottle and shake!

To use:

- After a shower to damp hair, just give a few sprays to your roots and then the rest of your hair and just give your hair a ‘jhuzz’ and you’re good to go! You can let it air dry or style it as usual.

- On your second day hair, to give your hair that extra lift, you can spray a bit to your hair.

This treatment is something I’m sticking to long term. If I saw a difference so quickly, imagine the effects it will have on my hair in say a month!

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!

As mentioned in an earlier post, I said I was going to try out the Apple Cider Vinegar with Rosemary Essential Oil treatment. I said I would give it a week, but after two uses, I already know how I feel about this hair treatment.

This treatment is AMAZING.

Yes, you feel like HER after your use this on your hair! ^.^

If you use a lot of hair styling products, or have oily hair, or have dandruff problems, this treatment is for you. And even if you don’t fall in any of those categories, I suggest trying this because when I tried it I didn’t have any of these problems (other than maybe hair on the oilier side since it was second day hair, but nothing crazy), since even shampoos and conditioners can cause build up and leave residues on your scalp.

This treatment is meant to be used once or twice a week. I’ve used it twice in about 5 days, and I felt a difference immediately.

Instructions:

- Get a bottle of some kind to make the mixture. I got a spray bottle from the dollar store.

- Measure 1/3 cup of water and add that to the bottle.

- Measure 1/3 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar and add that to the bottle.

- Add 10 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil to the bottle.

- Close the bottle and SHAKE

To Apply: (do this before a shower)

- To dry hair, apply this mixture to your roots and scalp. You can part your hair in several areas and apply the mixture to ensure you are putting it all over your scalp.

- Once your scalp is fully soaked with this mixture, apply the mixture to the rest of your hair all the way to your ends.

- Now leave this on for about 10 minutes. You can clip your hair up if you want. (Note: you probably won’t use the entire batch. It’s just vinegar, so you can save it for the next use!)

- After 10 minutes, hop into the shower, wash it off and shampoo as usual!

With one use, I felt my hair feel bouncier. I guess the build up of products and oils is weighing down your hair and you don’t even realize! Also, I felt my hair was fresh longer. I usually wash my hair every other day, but I was able to go without washing my hair for an extra day. Even then, my hair wasn’t oily at all, I just wanted to wash it! Haha! It was very strange to me, that my hair wasn’t getting even the slightest bit oily after TWO days of not washing it! I knew it had to be the treatment. I did style my hair after my next shampoo, so I did use styling products etc. which was why I used this treatment before my next wash. Again, I really felt that all the products washed out of my hair and my hair just felt healthier.

I will definitely continue to use this treatment. It’s inexpensive and most importantly it’s all natural. Most store-bought hair treatments have so many chemicals like parabens, harsh preservatives, sulfates, gluten, artificial colouring (THE LIST GOES ON) that we just don’t need. I much rather opt of an all natural treatment like this, which is so easy to make and use.

Here’s some more information on why Apple Cider Vinegar and Rosemary work well in keeping your hair healthy.

Most of the products we use on our hair, like shampoos etc, are alkaline, meaning on the pH scale, these products are more basic. Our hair, on the other hand, is more acidic. The cuticle seal of our hair is damaged because of these alkaline products and since the cuticle seal protects our hair’s cortex and colour (melanin), our hair tends to look dry, limp and dull over time. The pH level of Apple Cider Vinegar complements our hair’s pH and helps restore the natural pH of our hair. Our hair tends to look shinier and healthier with the use of Apple Cider Vinegar because it helps the cuticle lay flat allowing more light to be reflected and therefore giving the appearance of shinier, healthier hair. This also goes for removing buildup on the hair and scalp. Apple Cider Vinegar acts as a cleaning agent that removes buildup caused by styling products, shampoos, conditioners, dirt and oil from both the hair and the scalp, making your hair feel softer and bouncier as well as making sure your scalp is also just as healthy. For dandruff or if you have an itchy scalp, the removal of all the buildup caused by styling products and even shampoos and conditioners helps avoid the irritation to your scalp that can lead to dandruff and an itchy scalp. Also the removal of excess oils and sebum help scalp aggravation and dandruff. Apple Cider Vinegar is a natural anti-fungal, so it helps any irritations caused by fungus that lead to dandruff.

As for rosemary, the properties of Rosemary Essential Oil stimulate the hair follicle promoting hair growth. This helps with premature hair loss and balding. Rosemary is also a natural hair darkener, so it also aids with premature graying.  Rosemary helps improve the overall health of your scalp and hair due it’s ability to increase circulation and in doing so, it kills any bacteria that may be clogging your hair follicles, promoting hair growth. Rosemary also aids in renewing your scalp by detoxifying and disinfecting, which in turn helps with an itchy scalp, dryness, flakes and dandruff.

I love the effects of rosemary on my hair, so I definitely recommend this treatment. In fact, I loved it so much that I no longer use conditioner in my hair! Yes that’s right! Well, store bought conditioner that is; instead I make my own leave in conditioner with Rosemary Essential Oil!

Give this treatment a try and let me know how it worked for you!

The laser hair removal process is used to remove the hair permanently. Many people might have too much hair growth in the unwanted areas which is a result of genetic conditions, effects of medicine or hormonal problems. This treatment is used to remove hair from the areas like neck, face, arms, chest, legs, underarms etc.

In order to avoid negative consequences, you must take some steps before the treatment. The most primary thing you need to do before laser treatment is having a consultation with a dermatologist and seeking the right advice from him.

Beauty Disappointment - Ojon’s Restorative Mask, the smell is just too overpowering and the results don’t meet my expectations or the price.

Nails - I think Barry M makes the great quality nail polishes for a tiny price, I’ve been sporting Gelly Grapefruit on my toes and Gelly Lychee on my fingers.

Beauty Want - I know this available from John Lewis and the website but I need to be skin matched, I don’t know if the lightest shade will be pale enough. As much as I’m bored of BB Creams and now CC Creams, I really want to try this one, from the reviews which are available, it sounds amazing and I’m imagining it will probably be one of the best, if not the best CC Cream on the UK market. I’m counting the days until April 26th

I started putting a small amount of oil on my ends everyday.  Like, the teeniest amount, just for shine.  On days I would wash me hair, I’d use a little bit more, and once every other week I’d do a full deep conditioning treatment.  MIRACLES.  No more dry ends or split ends.  Shiny, bouncy hair on the days I used a teeny bit.  It was all happening, kids.

How I use coconut oil for the deep conditioning treatment:  Obviously, you’ve got to be careful how much and where you put the oil in your hair.  About 15 minutes before I get in the shower, I take a quarter size ball from the jar.  You might need more or less depending on your thickness and length.  The oil comes out semi-solid, but easy to scoop, sort of like ice cream that’s been out of the freezer for a half hour.  Turn the oil into liquid by rubbing it between your palms, then distribute it evenly on the last 3 to 5 inches of you hair or layers.  Just be careful not to put it directly on your roots.  Then, using only what’s left on your palms, rub that small amount through the roots and top part of your hair.  If you have naturally oily hair, avoid the roots.  If you have a drier scalp and/or color your hair like me, the extra oil will be beneficial.  If you hair is extra dry, put it on an hour before your get in the shower.  To really help the oil work, after the oil is on, wrap plastic wrap around your ends if you feel like it.  I’m always too lazy to feel like it.  Shampoo and condition as you normally would (maybe go a little lighter on the conditioner) and watch for the miracles to happen for you in front of your own eyes.

The cherry on top:  Coconut oil is a deal.  It’s generally under $10 for a jar.  This will last you a year if you only use it on you hair.  Also, it’s all natural and organic, so you aren’t putting a bunch of weird chemicals in your body.  If I wanted to have a million weird chemicals in my body, I’D JUST GO TO COACHELLA, am I right?  ZINGER….Sadly, I’m gonna end on that.  I hope this is helpful, remember to follow my blog so you don’t miss any posts, share it with friends so they don’t miss any posts, and leave any comments or questions below!  Thank you!! xo – Molly

The Miracle.

Smoothing out frizzy hair can be a serious battle, and usually the frizz wins. I have so much love for summer, but my hair has an anxiety attack whenever it’s partner humidity shows up. How can we fight frizz and win? First off understand why you have frizz.

One, you may overuse hot tools. Running to your flat iron every time it is humid is just a waist of time. The heat from the tool damages (drys) the hair, leaving humidity to have an even easier time destroying all your good work. Also, Not utilizing your cold option on the blow dryer will cause hair to lose it’s shine. Let hair dry up to 85% before touching the blow dryer. By alternating the temperatures on your dryer will help lock in that healthy shine.

Shakira tames her frizz

Two, you may overuse shampoo which drys out hair, and messes with the overall pH of the scalp.

Three, you may need necessary oils, and protein. Try massaging egg, coconut, or avocado throughout hair once a week; rinse out (cool water) after 15-20 minutes. Lastly, use a leave-in-conditioner with sunblock.

lightened hair really needs that sunblock!

You may not have heard of this product (I know I certainly hadn’t) but I am going to take this opportunity to tell you about it and then persuade you to buy it! UniqONE  Hair Treatment has some of the biggest, boldest claims for a hair product I have ever heard. It claims to have 10 yes 10 benefits for your hair, rendering all other products unnecessary. 

So what are these 10 benefits you may ask? Well it aims to;

- Repair dry or damaged hair

- Control shine and frizz

- To protect against heat

- Add shine and silkiness

- Protect your colour with UVA/UVB filters

- Make brushing and straightening easier

- Detangle unruly hair

- Help your style to last

- Prevent split ends

- Add body

Wow that is a lot of stuff! But the thing that attracted me most to this was the scent. My hairdresser always uses lovely smelling products on my hair but on my last visit she spritzed this through my tresses and I was hooked, I had to know what it was.

It is the most yummy and beautiful smelling hair product I have ever used. It smells like a salon but in a sweet, sophisticated way almost like perfume and it lasts. Most hair products lose their scent on the hair after a few hours but not this, it is still fragrant after a few days! 

Perfectly designed for naturally curly/frizzy hair like mine which is also coloured and heat styled this seemed to answer all my prayers in one! Yes it smells good but it also seems to really work. Without changing any of my shampoo or condition this has helped detangle my hair and it has made my straightened style last much better until my next wash. Therefore my hair isn’t having as much heat used on it on a regular basis which can only be a good thing.

My hair does feel slightly fuller and it is smoother, softer and feels lighter along with keeping my colour stronger for longer (I am due for my next colour at the end of the month and my hair still looks a blonde as when I had it done the last time).

The fact that this is a heat protectant and detangler in one is good enough for me but add all these extra goodies in and I have really cut down on the products I use. I only need this now after shampoo and conditioner. No more smoothing cream, heat protectant and detangling spray for me.

I haven’t been so impressed with a hair product since discovering Philip Kingley Elasticizer (see post) and I am amazed no one has blogged about this sooner! If you can get your hands on this do so, you will be just as impressed as I am! I really can’t express enough praise for it.

Available in salons around the world and online at Amazon, Cheap Smells and Beauty Bay. Priced around £7-£15.00. Also available in a cleansing balm.

Every highlight has a horror story, but here are some easy at home fixes for a salon gone wrong. 

Highlights too brassy? Grab some purple Manic Panic or other semipermanent purple pigment, and mix a dime size amount into a palmful of shampoo.  The purple will cancel out the brassy orange, leaving you with a neutral, natural blonde.

Highlights too intense?  Traditionally the rule for highlights and lowlights is no more than two shades lighter and two shades darker than your natural color (it’s sorta like the rule about dating within the 5 year range)  Shades lighter than 2 levels above your base color will look unnatural and often very harsh.

Try mellowing the highlights by finding a demi or semipermanent color (NOT PERMANENT!) that is darker than the highlights, but lighter than your base.  The result= subtle, natural looking highlights. 

When in doubt, go to a pro—just probably not the pro that got you in this mess in the first place…

Happy Highlighting!

Peace. Love. and Bobby Pins.

If you wish to spend less, you may reduce your hair yourself. The simplest way to get it done is always to wash it, brush it and divide it into seven sections. Use some sharp scissors to slice one section at any given time. Working with sections permits you to create layers as well as keep things well-balanced.

It is best for the hair should you wash it every other day, rather than washing it daily. Washing the hair strips it of natural oils and moisture that it needs to look shiny and stay healthy. When you must wash the hair daily, be sure that you never skip by using a conditioner. The conditioner will help to replenish the moisture that is certainly being stripped through the hair by frequent washing.

Ensure you are while using ]]> http://girllikegenius.wordpress.com/2013/04/07/its-a-hair-miracle/ Sun, 07 Apr 2013 23:04:24 +0000 girllikegenius http://girllikegenius.wordpress.com/2013/04/07/its-a-hair-miracle/ Having very little disposable income I have had to forgo some of my little luxuries, unfortunately this has extended to having my haircut, I haven’t had it cut in about 8 months and usually by now it would be in such bad condition it would get matted really easily be full of split ends and generally look terrible.  However I found this MAGIC formula for keeping my hair looking glossy and healthy with hardly any split ends! What is even better than this is that 250ml cost me £1.40 from my local shop! What is it I hear you cry?! It’s PURE COCONUT OIL!!!

How to get the best benefits from Coconut Oil: Before every shower I heat the bottle containing the oil under a hot running tap to turn the oil from a solid into a liquid, I then rub the oil into the length of my hair focusing particularly on the tips, I then tie my hair up and wait 10 minutes, when I get in the shower I leave my hair till last letting the steam help the oil penetrate my hair I then use my usual hair washing routine and that is all! An easy routine to use every time you wash your hair.

For a more intense treatment I recommend either of the following: rub the oil into hair before bed time and wash out in the morning (the oil will stain your bedsheets though so be warned). Or apply to the hair before hitting the sauna room at the gymnasium (You can use your usual conditioner for this too!) and shampoo and condition afterwards!

Why does coconut oil work so well? The molecular structure of the coconut oil enables it to penetrate inside the hair strands, locking in moisture and preventing protein loss.

Give it a try guys, its cheap and I guarantee your hair will be looking healthier in no time at all!

The Philip Kingsley Elasticizer* is a product made to improve the impact of the hair and its condition, one that I am found to be using religiously on a regular basis. The Product reads “Intensive, super-moisturizing pre-shampoo treatment for all hair types. Adds elasticity, manageability, bounce and shine” usually when pondering the use of a product we half-heartedly believe the description on the product- this is the exception.

The formula of the Elasticizer provides the hair with the oomph that it often lacks, as well as adding thickness to the hair without the bulky weight. The Elasticizer is used on pre-wash, working into wet hair and then leaving the product to work its magic for at least 10 minutes. Personally I found using the product from mid-lengths to the ends worked just as effective when working it nearer to the roots; the advantage this way is saving product. I found that it gave my usually limp and fine hair more strength and movement, without having to use any additional products that clog up the hair and scalp. The only fault with the product is that it requires time for proper execution, however spending that extra ten minutes in the morning is worth the hassle!

Whats your opinion on the Philip Kingsley Elasticizer?
