Add water to the hair spray any time it becomes too thick.

Apple Cider Softening Hair Rinse
Mix 1-2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar with 3 cups distilled water.Pour over your hair as the final rinse. It will leave your hair feeling soft. Good for all hair types.

Skin Sauna

A good deep cleansing treat is to give your face a sauna. This is especially good for congested skin.

You need to fill a bowl with near boiling water and add four drops of each of the essential oils recomended for your skin type. Place a towel over your head and hold it over the bowl from a distance of about 30cm for a period of around two minutes. This opens the pores and prepares it for a face mask.

Skin Sauna Tips
You should not use a face sauna if you have sensitive skin, are pregnant or suffer from asthma.
Slather on moisturizer afterward. Heat from a steam room or sauna can leave skin dry. After your sweat session, rinse off in a cool shower and apply a generous amount of body lotion to damp skin.
Sauna for Skin Cleansing
Sauna is widely used as a skin cleansing method. This is an ideal process for the elimination of the environmental chemicals stored in the fat cells. For skin cleansing using sauna, you should use a dry heat sauna that is not treated with the toxic chemicals.

Skin Detox with a Sauna
Sweating process increases the removal of harmful toxins from the body along with the sweats and so the impurities are flushed out from the body.

Healthy Curls Hairstyle
Waves and ringlets were seen all over the fall fashion show run-away, but that’s not the only reason to go a natural. Pulling on your hair with a brush, blow-drying it, and using a flatiron to straighten curls can cause split ends, excess dryness, frizz ness, and breakage.

Healthy Tip:
Deep-condition of hair curls at least twice a month to moisturize and banish frizz to help curls keep their natural shape without weighing them down.

Healthy Short Hairstyle
Short hair is healthier because you’re constantly cutting off split ends. Such style usually dry on their own, but even if you do pull out the blow-dryer, the job will take only a few minutes, so there is less risk of damage. Cropped cuts also keep from knotting and tangling.

Healthy Tip:
Short hair is easy to style, even if you haven’t washed it. And unless yours extremely oily, you shouldn’t have to shampoo and blow-dry more than three or four times a week. On off-days, just wet hair and air-dry to fix flatness or bed head.

Healthy Brunette Hairstyle
Turning tresses brown is definitely easier on your hair than becoming a blond. Lightening agents pull pigment out of strands; this can make hair more fragile and prone to breakage. When you go your hair in brunette, you’re actually depositing pigment on the hair, making it look healthier.

Healthy Tip:
Styling aids like gels and sprays can leave brown locks looking dull, so use a clarifying cleanser safe for colored hair every few weeks.

Understanding your hair structure will help you get the best out of your hair. On average we each have 120,000 hairs on our head and to look good they alll need to be in good condition – or at least disguised that way. the outside of the hair is called the cuticle. In strong, shiny hair this lies flat, allowing light to reflect from it (creating shine) and preventing moisture entering the hair (which causes frizzing) or leaving the internal hair shaft (which causes dryness).

Many things can interfere with this cuticle, from harsh brushing to chemical processing, and these thin and weaken the hair shaft, so leading to brittleness. Your day to day haicare should therefore aim to smooth the cuticle and thicken or strengthen the hair shaft.
