Top Five Home Remedies for Fast Hair Growth

Top Five Home Remedies for Fast Hair Growth (My Mom's Own Hair Secrets)

Hello Everyone!
Today, I have come up with a hair care post for all of you who are longing to grow your hair long and strong. I had a knee length hair when I was 12 but eventually, I lost interest in maintaining my long hair and had cuts many times. My long hair at childhood not only gifted me lots of compliments from neighbors, friends and family but it also had made me get punishments in my school for being late everyday :P On my fourteens and fifteens I hardly bothered about my hair.
           Even last year, I had not wanted a long hair at all. I maintained that waist length hair (It is not considered long in my family :( sob sob!) till last year and now finally, I am 17 and a huge love on LONG HAIR has been developed inside my heart! I have no clue why I am loving to have a long hair. But I am sure I dream about long hair many times a day. I have even worried that why I had cut my hair so many times in these hairs :( and if encase I hadn't done that, I would have been blessed with Rapunzel hair now. Alright! Past is past; so hereafter, I am not getting a hair cut at all, at least for the next four eyes. (Don't include the split ends trims once in 12 weeks!) I am going to jump into the hair growth challenge and maintain my hair like anything to achieve that knee long hair back (Greedy me!). I am not sure whether I will win the challenge or not but I am sure I will take necessary steps for that. Okay without further blabbering, let us move on to the post :P I don't wanna bore you all with my hair story.

My Mommy's Long Hair!

This is my mom's hair :D She is 55 now! and never died her hair or went to salon even once in these 55 years. She doesn't know what a hair mask or what a hair conditioner is! She swears by plain coconut oil and Shikakai. She had even longer and thicker hair before long years and this post is ofcourse compiled with her secrets!. :)

My Mom's Beautiful Hair! :)


Now, let me share 5 amazing tips & remedies to grow your hair longer in a shorter time. No! We cannot fasten the hair growth but we can prevent split ends, breakage, hair fall and that's all. Healthy hair grows longer without any obstacles. Don't you agree? 

 
        'Your hair grows anytime at the same rate of speed but the trick is how you care for it and prevent it'  This is my mom's hair growth theory :D


1.Maintain Your Hair Clean

Maintaining your hair clean everyday is very essential when it comes to faster hair growth. Unclean hair and scalp leads to allergies, dandruff and such kinda hair problems thus resulting in heavy hair loss. So even though when you hair grows at a good speed, you are losing lots of hair strands at a better speed. Can you get what I am saying?

  • Home Remedy for Faster Hair Growth 1: Shikakai mixed with curd acts as a great natural hair cleanser to clean hair and scalp. This shikakai home remedy for hair cleansing better than many other shampoos available in today's market loaded with SLS and parabens.


2. Moisturize Scalp and Hair Strands

My mom has a hip length hair now at the age of 55 and guess what? She does not have a single gray hair! I have always been jealous of my mom's hair beauty and her secret is 'Moisturizing hair' regularly. Yes! She oils her hair thrice every week to prevent scalp dryness and split ends. I personally don't like that oily feel on my scalp and hence I skip oiling at day time and go for a overnight oiling routine. Try using oils like coconut oil, olive oil and castor oil on your hair regularly; and you will definitely see the difference in weeks.

  • Home Remedy for Faster Hair Growth 2:  Mix coconut oil and olive oil together (Equal parts) Take a teaspoon of dried curry leaves powder and dried fenugreek powder each and put them into the oil mixture. Shake well and store it in dry place for one week. Now filter this oil and use it as your regular hair oil! See the magic withing 3 months of usage. My mom swears by this hair oil recipe for faster hair growth!


3. Wear Loose Braids

Tight braids and pony tails may damage your hair in long run. Avoid wearing tight hair bands and clips on your hair to prevent unwanted hair breakage and weakening of hair. Once a beautician told me, wearing tight pony tails often may result in front balding of hair :O Be aware girls! And wearing loose braids helps in better air circulation on your scalp, thus resulting in less sweat - less allergies and less hair fall. Where there is less hair fall, it is equal to fast hair growth automatically :) If you want long and strong hair, first know to save your hair! That is the best trick ever.

  • Home Remedy for Faster Hair Growth 3: Fill up a spray bottle with 100 ml of rose water and pour in two teaspoons of almond oil. Shake well and refrigerate. Use this hair spray after you rinse your hair to make your hair smooth, manageable and frizz free instantly. Using this hair spray help you make braids easily without any tangles! This also improves the texture and health of your hair, resulting in longer and stronger hair faster without any dry hair/combing breakage.


4. Get Good Sleep & Water

This might be one of the most heard tips, but still it is one of the best tips too. Get a proper good night sleep of 8 hours and drink atleast 10 glasses of water a day. This would regularize your metabolic activities and prevents hair loss due to stress and dehydration. Going to hair salons, using masks and other topical treatments alone won't work; if you want longer hair, you want to maintain your health  :) So don't forget this sleep and water trick anytime. Drinking tender coconut every morning helps too. This controls hair fall due to heat and provides mineral salts for your hair health.

  • Home Remedy for Faster Hair Growth 4: Excessive body heat causes bad damage to the hair though we follow all the other hair care regimes the right way. To control this, crush some fresh tulsi leaves and put them into your drinking water everyday. Tulsi cools down the body, relieves stress and vanishes hair fall caused due to body heat. Thus your hair grows long without any over heat obstacle!


5. Hair Growth Supplements

Are you losing much hair everyday? Is your hair not growing long anymore? You might be suffering from some nutrition deficiency. Consult your physician and discuss with him/her about the intake of hair care supplements. They might prescribe you biotin, iron or zinc etc depending on your deficiency problem. I am taking 5mg biotin everyday at present and it is giving me good results. It has reduced my hair fall to 90% and my hair is getting down to my waist :) Keep in mind; do NOT take any supplement without consulting your doctor.

  • Home Remedy for Faster Hair Growth 5: My mom tells me often that eating egg whites, whole nuts, spinach and cheese everyday increases the hair growth speed :) Soya bean helps too! Why don't you try them?

How to Be Beautiful? 5 Really Working Ways

Every woman in this world wants to look beautiful. Isn't it?. Whether she is short or tall, thin or thick, dark or pale, every girl wants to look her best anytime. We girls are always concerned about the way we look. From head to foot we take care of all the parts and beautify them in order to look neat and stylish. Different shampoos, different conditioners and different hair products; what not we try to make our hair look more softer and shinier? We jump into the trial of using different creams and lotions to get that model-like glowing skin isn't it? Even for our feet - we get are numerous luxury pedicures get done in parlours. Fine, let us come to the point. This post is specially dedicated to you sweet girls! Go ahead and read the effective ways to be beautiful :D



1. Belief is the Key

Yes! The first thing you should do to 'be or become' beautiful is to believe that you're beautiful. No one is ugly in this world. Everyone has their unique features, talent, voice and such. *(Are you skinny? Call yourself a model. Are you fat? You're a bubbly beauty then :) Is your skin too pale? You're a vanilla ice cream and are you dark? You're a dark chocolate.) No one is less compared to anyone in this world so once you believe that you have your unique beautify, you will automatically look beautiful from inside! You will get that confidence and shine as a star among your friends and family no matter how your appearance is. So grab your first key, the belief. There is no one in this world with the same lips, eyes and facial structure as yours isn't it? You're your original and beautiful copy :) Appreciate yourself for being beautiful; spend 5 minutes in front of mirror everyday and tell yourself that you are beautiful to grow your confidence. This way, you can break all the inferior feelings those created by such idiot people (Jealous may be?) around you.


2. Health Matters a Lot in Beauty

Taking care of your inner health is double important when it comes to beautifying yourself. Let us have a test now. Get some high ended makeup products. Pick your most beautiful outfit and wear your favorite footwear, but on the day when you are SICK. How would you look? Beautiful? Not at all!. So concentrate more on improving your health and thus it will add beauty to your skin and face. To develop your health, as the first rule, drink 3 liters of water everyday. This process will regulate your blood circulation and flush out the toxins from your blood, resulting in super radiant skin. You need to try this to believe this. I have myself experienced with this water trick and found out great results on my skin. Eat lots of veggies, fruits, buts and greens everyday. And last but not the least, wear the most important beautifying ornament SMILE on your face. A happy smiling face wins lots of makeup products you know!


3. Add Some Style

Is your life boring? Don't you feel bored with the same kind of look and appearance you maintain? Go for a hair cut and change your dressing style. I personally felt more confident about my appearance after getting my side bangs done. They are absolutely beautiful! You can also change your dressing style, apparels and such for a different look. Don't always restrict and keep yourself inside a circle. Wear sunglasses, wear tank tops, skirts and grab that style! You will look and feel beautiful.


4. Take Care of Your Skin and Hair

I will list out some great working celebrity skin and hair care practices below which my beautician told me.

Skincare Musts to Become Beautiful
  • Bath twice a day in lukewarm water.
  • Say no to soaps; Go for soap free shower gels/body washes and face washes for face.
  • Body lotion is compulsory after bath to moisturize body skin.
  • Moisturizing face is a must even if you have oily skin.
  • High SPF sunscreen is compulsory if stepping out of home (Even on winters)
  • A weekend body scrub followed by hot oil massage does extra good to soften skin.
  • Wash face twice a day with a gentle facial cleanser and two or more times with fresh plain water.
  • Wash your feet with warm water and apply cold cream before going to bed every night.
  • Ger a pedicure done at your home or parlor once in two weeks.
  • Use your hand cream to prevent hands from getting rough
  • Your lip balm must be in your handbag anytime! Use it many times a day to prevent chapped lips
  • Pay extra attention to dry knees and elbows while moisturizing.

Haircare Musts to Become Beautiful
  • Rinse hair thrice a week if you're a field worker and at least twice if you are a homemaker.
  • You paraben free mild hair products; herbal ones are much better.
  • Don't comb wet hair and use a wide comb to detangle your hair.
  • Conditioning is must after shampooing.
  • Massage your scalp applying hot oil one hour before every hair wash.
  • Follow a deep nourishing hair mask treatment every weekend.
  • Avoid using heat equipments such as straighteners, dryers and curlers on hair very often.
  • Do not tie your hair with tight bands. 
  • Cover your hair with an hat or your shawl when you're under hot sun. 
  • Do not get wet in rain and if you do so, rinse your hair immediately after reaching home.
  • Wash your comb everyday and wash your pillow cover everyday. 


5. Get Outfit/Makeup Suggestions from Your Friends

Discuss with your trustworthy friends about your outfits and makeup. Read carefully, they should be trustworthy. If you choose a wrong person to suggest you, they might mislead you in jealously lol :P Okay no jokes. Ask your friends whether you look good in a jean or kurta, or something like that. Always go for minimal makeup. This will not only look natural, but also neat and professional if you're a working woman. Shift your glittery shimmery makeu products to your night /party makeup case. Choose the right shade of your foundation/concealer and always go for blushes and eyeshadow that would compliment your skin tone well. You should also be careful while choosing your skincare products depending on your skin type whether it is oily, dry, normal, combination or sensitive.


Hope you enjoyed the above ideas to be beautiful! Don't stress much thinking about your appearance all the time. Just chill and enjoy your life :) You're always beautiful if you are happy and if you have good thoughts! Keep smiling beauties. Share your comments and feedback below!

Cure Under Eye Dark Circles in 30 Days

Hello beauties! Next to the skin lighting remedies, this is the one which is most asked for in our reader queries section. Many of you asked me for under eye dark circle removing home remedies and some other asked for under eye dark circle removal cream suggestions. My mailbox is flooded with this same type of query. I have luckily got dark circle free eyes (Can't judge about future! I am just 17 now) and hence I wasn't able suggest you home remedies for dark circles before. But just specially for you all, I made a visit to my beautician's house last week and discussed with her about the home remedies and other skincare ideas to control, prevent and cure dark circles fast other than the usage for dark circle removing creams. As one of our post named 'Fair Skin in 30 days' was made a huge hit by worldwide readers, I am here up with the next 30 days series. These remedies might work perfectly for you if you follow them in a right manner. Though genetic and health issues can also give you under eye dark circles and for that you MUST consult your physician rather than believing in cure from simple topical home remedies.





Three Must Follow Remedies to Cure Under Eye Dark Circles


  • Get 8 hours of good night sleep. Read the previous line carefully, you need 8 hours of good NIGHT sleep. Hence untimely sleeping  is not going to help you even if you sleep for 8 or more hours. Regularize your sleeping habits as the first step. 

  • Wash your eyes thrice a day with fresh water. This trick helps like a miracle in curing your bulged, dark, ugly looking under eye circles fast. Just simply splash some water over your eyes gently and that's it. Once in the morning while bath, once in the evening after returning home from work and once before going to bed every night is a best routine.

  • Soon after returning home from college or workplace, get some cold water in a bowl. Dip two cotton pads in the cold water, squeeze a bit and place it over your closed eyelids. Relax for 10-15 minutes and then continue your other work. This should be followed everyday in order to calm down stressed eyes.


Five DIY Home Remedies to Cure Under Eye Dark Circles


  • This is a very common remedy but it really works if followed everyday without expecting overnight results. Squeeze juice from grated cucumber and apply it over your dark cirlces. Leave on for 10-20 minutes and and wash away. This can be followed daily for best results.

  • Potato juice acts a natural bleaching agent to lighten the dark skin around your eyes. Hence apply potato juice over your dark circles twice a week but not everyday. This would gradually remove the darkness and yes, you can see visible results in under eye dark circles reduction within one month if followed with patience. 

  • Drop pure rose water on your eyes before going to bed at night. This would calm down eyes and reduce the heat to prevent and fade dark circles caused due to excess heat.

  • Banana peels can be cut into thin squares and stored in refrigerator to use as your anytime relaxing fruit eye pads. Just place the cold peel strips above your eyelids and voila! You're ready to enjoy the super calming sensation which not only feels good but also helps a lot with the healing of your under eye circles problem.

  • Last but not the least, this is the very important step that you should follow regularly to reduce dark circles in 30 days. Grind almonds to smooth powder and add milk to this powder to make a smooth eye mask. Apply this over your eyelids and below your eyes. Leave on for 10-15 minutes and rinse. This should be followed at least once every week to ensure the fast removal of darkness around your eyes. My beautician highly recommend this DIY dark cirlce removing eye pack.

After 5-10 minutes of scrubbing, wash off the scrub from your body skin completely without leaving any residue. Use every weekend to maintain soft, glowing and tan free skin. This can also be used twice a week on your body.

      Coconut Milk has been used in several skincare products for ages because of its goodness on skin. We can include coconut milk in our homemade DIY skin treatments as well, to naturally cleanse, moisturize and beautify skin. It acts effectively in cleansing, moisturizing and repairing sun damaged skin. Check out these 6 simple coconut milk skincare recipes below and make use of them.




      Coconut Milk Moisturizer
      Is your skin dry, tight or stretchy all the time, especially in winters? Mix equal amounts of fresh coconut milk and honey. Add two drops of almond oil to this mixture if your skin is extra dry. Smooth this over your face and let it sit there for 10-20 minutes. Later, wash off with clean cold water and pat dry. No more stretchy feeling and no more dry patches; All you will see now is your soft, moisturized skin.


      Coconut Milk Facial Cleanser
      At times we run out of our cleansing milk and this is one recipe which can naturally cleanse and balance the moisture of your facial skin. Mix a teaspoon of creamy yogurt with few drops of concentrated coconut milk and spread this mixture evenly on your face. Leave on for 5 minutes and wipe off with a wet cloth of cotton. Splash cold water over face and wash off!


      Makeup Remover with Coconut Milk
      It's not that a hard procedure! We all know that olive oil acts as a natural makeup remover and even removes stubborn eye makeup. Simple mix 1/2 parts of coconut milk with 1 part of olive oil and use it as your regular makeup remover. You will feel that your skin has become more clean and softer than before.




      Coconut Milk Skin Brightening Face Pack
      Add required coconut milk to a teaspoon of sandalwood powder. Put in few saffron strands and few drops of honey to this mixture and use this as your skin brightening face pack. This would do wonders on your skin by brightening it in a natural way!


      Wrinkle Cure Cream with Coconut Milk
      Soak 6-8 almonds in water overnight. Peel off their skins in morning and grind them too smooth paste. Extract oil from 2-3 vitamin E capsules. Add few drops of thick coconut milk and the extracted vitamin E oil to the almond paste and blend well. Your wrinkle cure cream is all ready to use now! This will not bring you dramatic results on your skin but with regular usage, it will definitely help tightening skin, thus reducing wrinkles and fine lines. After cleansing face every night, apply this cream evenly over your skin and go to sleep. Wash off face in the morning to see the soft skin magic.



      Coconut Milk Spray for Sunburns
      Add 1/2 parts of rose water to one part of coconut milk and fill this up in a clean spray bottle. Refrigerate. Soon after returning home from outside, when your skin is burnt due to over sun exposure, spray this liquid over the affected parts and relax for half an hour. The coconut milk extracts and rose water will calm down and sooth the redness caused due to sun exposure. This spray will also remove tanning up to a great extent.


      Note: 
      Do NOT use packed or store bought coconut milk for any of these recipes above. They would be containing preservatives and such those can be allergic to your skin. Grate fresh coconuts, grind and squeeze them to extract that thick, natural coconut milk.

      As all we know, the thing 'skin fairness' is a huge craze among most of the Indian women. But our born skin colour is something we cannot change naturally. Chemical bleaching, whitening and other skin lightening treatments can give you a temporary brighter skin or end up in resulting a PALE unhealthy looking skin but only natural ingredients can work on your skin to bring out that original brightness. Don't mistake the word brightness for white skin. Pale, dusky, tan olive or dark, whatever skin type you have, your skin is beautiful if it is bright and glowing! A dark skinned, flawless, supple and glowing skin is seen beautiful when compared to a pale skin with dullness and blemishes. Don't you agree? 
          Okay fine. Today, let us check an interesting skin lightening night cream recipe that can be prepared easily at home with simple kitchen ingredients. You need to use this night cream for at least 15 days every night to see visible results but the results are completely natural and gives you a natural beauty unlike the other store bought skin whitening products.

      • Fresh lemon juice can be replaced for sweet lime juice. Turmeric powder is optional depending upon your wish as it is not easily available in many countries. 
      • Store this smooth cream in a clean small bowl or tube and refrigerate immediately. As this cream is made of natural ingredients and prepared without any preservatives, this fairness cream should be used within one week. If not refrigerated, make sure to use it within an hour after preparation. 


      How to Use?:
      • Cleanse and pat dry facial skin at night before going to bed. You can use a mild gentle facial cleanser or some cleansing milk for this.
