Homemade Hair Conditioner Recipes - Moisturize, Soften and Restore Your Hair

!±8± Homemade Hair Conditioner Recipes - Moisturize, Soften and Restore Your Hair

A hair conditioner is a term that means more than one thing.

The first and foremost purpose of it is to moisturize the hair and the scalp. Due to external influences and also internal body reactions (hormones, stress...), the skin on our head reacts differently. The most common reaction is dryness.

In homemade hair conditioners, ingredients like avocado and olive oil act as humectants. They trap in the moisture and keep it locked so that the hair shaft can receive the moisture it needs.

Combining them with natural hair care products also is a great way to help and restore damaged hair. It coats the shaft and protects it, infusing it with nourishing elements that help its resilience and shine.

Nourishing hair conditioner is specifically used for dry hair and dry scalp. It has oils that don't leave a greasy residue, but still provide enough moisture for hair to shine and look healthy.

You could always choose to buy a shampoo, but there are homemade recipes that are cheaper to make and all natural. Oily hair shampoo and conditioner target the excess oil that causes the hair to become oily. On the other side, there are dry hair shampoo recipes which restore the moisture and prevent dry, flaky skin of the scalp.

They are often used as detanglers, coating the hair shaft with polymers that prevent it from sticking together and tangling up.

The best conditioner is the one that give the best results when used on your hair. There is no way to tell the specific hair conditioner will be "the one". You need to try them and see which one fits you best.

To finish off, use a hair rinse which will boost up the natural shine and volume.

The first recipe helps moisturize the hair. The avocado is a moisturizing element and together with mayonnaise added it is perfect for dry, brittle hair.

Philadelphia Eyebrow Threading - Better Than Eyebrow Waxing? Find Out For Yourself

!±8± Philadelphia Eyebrow Threading - Better Than Eyebrow Waxing? Find Out For Yourself

I was introduced to waxing by my college roommate. She was from Philadelphia and took me to her parents for a weekend visit. As a guest, her mother included me in the traditional beauty regimens which included waxing and eyebrow threading. My first experience was a little rocky, but one look in the mirror at the finished product and I have never looked back. Waxing was history my friend.

If you are one of those people who endlessly dotes over the smallest of details and cannot handle anything less than perfect, grooming and shaping your eyebrows must be an ordeal. The simple solution is always going for eyebrow threading because that's the closest thing to perfection. Although waxing may be able to give fancy shapes but the shapes are available as stencils. The stencils are uniform and standard and the same for everyone. In a word: one size and shape has to fit all and in a land where individuality rules, who would settle for that limitation? So there's limited choice with waxing. What your face and eyebrows need may be quite unique owing to your different taste or unique face shape etc. So whether you want the foxy thin lined eyebrows or the natural yet clean ones you can get them with eye brow threading. Eyebrow has the potential to frame your face. If the eyes are the window to the soul, why not put your best face forward?

Eyebrow threading originates from India and is probably the only way that eyebrows are shaped there. It involves the beautician or whoever is performing the threading to make a loop with a thread and twirl it a couple of times. The loop with the twirls at the center and the sides held by the beautician when applied with light pressure on the area of unwanted hair growth removes hair efficiently. The best thing about threading is that hair can be removed from the exact spot where unwanted and any possible desired shape can be achieved.

At Shanti Medspa in Philadelphia, eyebrow threading begins with the removal of unwanted hair in the middle of two eyebrows and then go on to remove extra growth from the top and bottom. Any desired shape, length and thickness could be given. If the eyebrow arch is very high fill the lower area with eyebrow pencil strokes and remove a few hair from the upper section of the brow. When the eyebrow arch is low, hair should be removed from under the eyebrows and the upper area should be outlined with the eyebrow pencil. Those who are proficient in the process only should perform threading. If you are a self-learner a lot of practice is required before you can start performing it on yourself. Threading gives best results when performed by a beautician you trust and knows exactly how you want them. Eyebrows threading is done in usually every 2-3 weeks.

The only minor drawback could be the discomfort. Which is by most accounts, less than that with tweezing or waxing. Few quick and small home remedies to alleviate the pain are to rub ice on the spot to numb it. Application of astringent or toner is important after the process because open pores are present after the procedure. Post application a moisturizer works as well to soothe the area. With all this information in hand eyebrow threading could be a reason for double celebration; one because of the perfect shape and two because of the little pain caused.
