Homemade Hair Packs to Promote Hair Growth

Every girl likes to have a beautiful and shiny hair. Bouncy and thick hair adds beauty to face. I know most of us prefer to use natural products to maintain our hair properly. So here are my few hair packs which I had been using for a long time in my hair care routine. These hair masks improve the hair texture and helps with hair growth.

Fenugreek and Lemon Hair Pack

This is a pack which I have been using for a long time. It is super easy to prepare. Just soak some fenugreek seeds in milk or water overnight. At the morning blend it in a mixer with juice of one lemon. You will get a smooth pack. Apply it on your hair and wait for an hour.
I was super impressed just after one use. It made my dry hair smooth and bouncy. Not to forget this wonderful pack reduced my hair fall to a greater extent. Only con in this pack is its removal. It absolutely needs a large amount of time and water. But it is nothing when compared to the bounciness it gives to our hair.

Banana and Honey Hair Pack

I guess all of us would be aware of this pack. It is again super easy to prepare. You don’t need more than 5 minutes to prepare this. All you need is a ripe banana and some honey. Take a ripe banana and mash it along with some honey. Always prefer using organic honey. Apply it to your hair and wash it after one hour with a mild shampoo followed by conditioning. I must tell you, the result was awesome. Yes I have very dry hair and this pack added life to my dull hair. My driest split ends was smooth after rinsing so I dint use conditioner at all.

Henna Hair Pack

Henna is one of the products used for hair care from olden days. Henna not only makes hair strong but also gives a mild brownish tint to our hair. Beauties who loves coloring their hair but still afraid of the damage caused by harmful chemicals can give this a try.
The process is simple. Pluck some fresh henna leaves and leave it to dry under sun for a week. Collect them and grind it to get a powder. Take some amount of this powder, add an egg, lemon juice and apply it to your hair. This will also soften your hair.

Hibiscus Hair Pack

Hibiscus is again well known for its growth properties on hair. Whenever my granny visits my home, she is sure to apply a paste of fresh hibiscus petals on my hair. It is greatly believed to reduce hair fall and strengthen hair roots. This is same like henna pack. Dry hibiscus petals ( make sure to use only the dark red one’s) under sun and grind it to a powder form. This when used with amla powder can give double benefits. Mix it with egg and lemon.

Along with the above packs, it is essential to eat healthy food items rich in proteins and drink more water. It can help you in a greater extent.

Hope you like this and start using your favorite.

Take care 🙂

How to Make Your Face Look Thinner with Makeup? – 3 Easy Steps

Hello Everyone!

Many of us feel our face is much broader than what we prefer and we feel there is no way out of it. But hey! When there is will, there is definitely a way! And so the art of contouring was invented.

What you will need for it? Well it depends on what products you want to use for the contouring. If you are to use a cream product it’s best to use your fingers and if you want to use a powder then you can use a brush. So we will mention each way separately.

Contouring Face with Concealer or Cream Bronzer:

Step 1:

Apply foundation on you face and do your usual makeup. Before applying the setting powder follow these steps. We can do the contouring using two types of products bronzers or concealers (in two shades darker than your natural skin tone)

Step 2:

Take a concealer in two shades darker than your skin tone or a cream or stick bronzer and take a bit of the product on the tip of the fingers. Now make your face into a fish face as in the picture.

Now though contouring is different in each face type and shape usually the contouring should start from the area on your cheek which is parallel to the mid portion of your ears (the part right under your natural cheek bone). Take the finger and slightly apply the bronzer from the cheek towards the mouth. Apply small portions and amounts and apply according to your preferences.

Step 3:

Top with a light layer of face powder or setting powder.

Contouring Face with Compact or Powder Bronzer:

Step 1:

Apply foundation on you face and do your usual makeup. Before applying the setting powder follow these steps. We can do the contouring using two types of products Bronzers or compact (in two shades darker than your natural skin tone)

Step 2:

Take an angled blush brush/an angled bronzing brush and take a small amount of product on the brush. Now contouring should start from the area on your cheek which is parallel to the mid portion of your ears (the part right under your natural cheek bone . Take the brush and apply the bronzer from the cheek towards the mouth. Apply small portions and amounts and apply according to your preferences.

Step 3:

If you feel there are prominent lines or that you want to tone down the effect then use a fluffy face brush or a kabuki brush to soften the area with light strokes. And you are done.

Now why we have suggested face powder and concealer is that it’s quite hard to find a good contouring powder or bronzer which is matte so this will do the trick on an everyday basis.
