We all are ordinary girls but with extraordinary dreams. We may not be born with royal blood flowing in our veins  but surely we were always our daddy's little princess and our life partners queen.To be a princess we need to look beautiful and most importantly feel beautiful.

 MY BLOG is dedicated to all the princess and queens out there. 

We all want to have hair like Rapunzel. But it is next to impossible in present stressful environment. So, Today in my blog I am going to discuss about the hair issues we face and how we can get long, shiny and heavy hair. 

We all love our hair a lot and believe me when you see a bunch of hair strangled in the comb, our heart weeps....parlour treatment does GREATto your hair but it is a heavy burden on your pocket. I am going to share some home treatments that are easy, breezy and cheap and most importantly does wow's to your hair.

MAKE CTM YOUR LIFE MANTRA

Your hair need the same care as your face therefore make "CTM"(cleansing, moisturizing and toning) your Life Mantra . 
Cleanse your hair by at least washing them at least twice a week and select a mild shampoo(that suits your hair) instead of professional ones. I used loreals professional shampoo and believe me it completely ruined my hair so avoid using it.
Tone your hair by combing your hair and applying serum to them(Loreal liss control is a great serum.)....If you have oily scalp and dry ends; comb your hair from root to end 5-6 minutes daily. It helps to spread the oil evenly throughout your hair.   

Moisturizing is really important and the eternal step of CTM.  Apply oil before head-wash or go for a spa treatment. Say no no to keeping oil in hair throughout the day as it attracts lots of dust and causes breakage and dandruff. Frequent visits to salons for spa treatments can be heavy on your pocket. My next point will let you know how to have a great spa treatment at home.

SPA AT HOME

 Purchase a spa a cream.  I would suggest LOREAL”S spa cream. I have tried it and it works great for your hair. Its for just rs 600 and can be applied like 10 times. Now take a scoop of spa cream and apply it on your shampooed hair not roots. 
Take small portion of hair and apply on it and continue this process till all hair are covered. Gently massage your scalp for 10 minutes. Wrap the  hot towel 3-4 times around your head . After 1 hour rinse off the spa cream by using only water. Remember spa cream should be applied to shampooed hair.... it really softens your hair and make them shine. Follow it with a serum.

Follow this CTM everytime you wash your hair and look gorgeous.

It not only fight germs but also provide a clear and glowing skin. It is one of the key ingredients in many cosmetic products prevalent in the market.

1) Neem and Lemon Juice Pack

Take some fresh neem leaves, wash them and sun dry them for a day or two. Now grind them/crush them to make a fine powder. You can store this powder in a jar, so that it can be in future.

Apply small amount of coconut oil/moisturiser after rinsing it off to add moisture to your skin. You will find your skin clear and glowing. Repeat this process twice a week.

Lemon juice is known to lighten skin and reduce blemish marks on the skin. It also contains citric acid which is quite effective for treating acne and pimples. This is one effective face pack that is great for oily skin and removes excess oil from your skin.

You can also get the neem dried powder at various leading stores in the market.

2) Neem, sandalwood and rosewater pack

Taker dry 1tsp neem powder, 1tsp sandalwood powder and 4tsp rosewater. Mix all the ingredients to form a fine paste. Now wash your face and apply this pack on your face with your fingertips. Leave it on your face for half an hour and wash with lukewarm water. If you have a chronic acne problem, apply this face pack regularly or 3-4 times a week for good results.
