Shampoo No More - DIY Hair Rinse that Really Works

"I'm not waiting until my hair turns white to become patient and wise. Nope, I'm dyeing my hair tonight..." ~ Jarod Kintz

Hello readers.

It's been a while.

This DIY craze of mine has raked up a storm, and what I love about it is that it really works!

I have stopped using shampoos altogether now. And I am using this 2 part hair rinse instead.

It's awesome because it works!

No more hair loss and glossy, shiny hair!


This is Step 1. Baking Soda with water.  Mix 1 part of baking soda to 3 parts water. That means if you use 1 cup of baking soda, then dilute it with 3 cups of water. If you use 1 bowl of baking soda, dilute with 3 bowls of water. That equation.

I put my mixture in a squeeze bottle like this, which I bought from Daiso.

Squeeze the mixture it on your dry hair, from the roots to the tips of your hair. After thorough massage, wash it off.


 This is Step 2. The vinegar rinse. Mix 1 part vinegar (I use white distilled vinegar) to 4 parts water. Same equation like I told you above. I put it in a squeeze bottle like this as well. Squeeze it on your hair just like you did with the baking soda. If you want to tone down the smell of vinegar, you can put a few drops of essential oil in, but I don't and take the step of using argan oil after drying my hair after the shower instead.

Mix into hair thoroughly and then rinse.

Voila, you're done!

Paraben (and other tons of chemical) free shampoo for your hair.

I am never buying shampoo again. 

Much love from Airiel and I.

Peace and love to everyone.

Honey & Oatmeal Mask

"She did not know the nature of her loneliness. The only words that named it were: This is not the world I expected..." ~ Ayn Rand


Hello readers.

More updates on my DIY all natural craze.

I have found the perfect mask for my face. 

Its so easy peasy to make.


Ingredients 

1. Honey 
2. Oatmeal

Instructions

1. Put ingredients on a plate
2. Mix
3. Put on face 
4. Leave for 5-10 mins
5. Wash off
6. (Feel free to eat the balance on the plate haha)

Haha. Ini semua instructions poyo. But just in case, I'll write it down for your guys.

This mask is oh so awesome for dry skin. I don't think I'd recommend it for oily skin though.

I would suggest doing this once a week. It's so good I literally had to stop touching my face every 5 mins after washing it off, it makes my skin so soft!

Alright. 

Feedback is appreciated from those that have tried this okay?

I have an awesome recipe for hair which I will share soon.

Much love from Airiel and I.

Peace and love to everyone.

Homemade Honey Milk and Sugar Body Scrub and Face Mask - Chemical Free

"Man is the only creature who refuses to be what he is" ~ Albert Camus

Hello

How is everyone coping with the price hike?

Things have been expensive recently and it seems the prices of absolutely EVERYTHING has gone up dramatically.

I am in the process of eliminating the buying of soaps, body soaps, shampoos, body scrubs and face masks from my shopping basket and making them myself instead.

Yes. My skin is dry and sensitive and products for this type of skin are just so super expensive.

For a couple of months now, I have made my own body scrub and face mask. I use this scrub for may face and body as well. 

How do we make them? Easy peasy!!

Put in a plate 1.Honey; 2.Sugar; and 3.Powdered Milk (get cheap ones just for your mask and scrub)

Pour olive oil (quantity is up to you)

 After mixing, you will get this lovely smelling scrub (smells milky honeyish). Add a bit of water and mix some more.

You can opt to put in 1. Lemon Zest or 2. Essential Oils (smell to your preference) but I don't. Its just fine for me as it is.

Slather on dry skin and face for 15 mins. Rinse in shower.

Lovely clean, moist skin awaits!

Recipes for homemade soap and shampoo for dry skin is up next. I am still experimenting.

Have fun trying this out readers. By the way, it is good for male and female skin, so long as the skin is dry.

Much love from Airiel and I

Peace and love to everyone.
