How to restore & get soft shiny thick luscious hair using Sweet Almond Oil, Avocado OIl & Rosemary Essential Oils

How to restore & get soft, thick, luscious healthy hair using natural hair oils

Dyeing my hair frequently and getting highlights on dark hair really took its toll on my hair. No matter what shampoo and conditioner I switched too, nothing really helped. The mid to end lengths of the hair was dry and damaged and my roots just felt rough and frizzy. I really needed some deep conditioning to sort my hair out, and drugstore 3 minute miracles products, and hair masks just weren't good enough, most of them have too much fragrance and artificial stuff in them they don't really penetrate and make a difference to the hair. Instead of helping to try and restore hair, they just coat the hair and make it appear or look shinier and healthy which is a good quick remedy if that's what you want but isn't really a permanent treatment to the hair. I really needed a good pick me up routine for my hair to change the texture of it. I naturally have very thick wavy hair so its already hard to keep it moisturised and looking smooth and less frizzy.
Ingredients
I decided to experiment using few hair oils and purchased I brought my products from Amazon as I got a better deal, although you can find these in your local health shops or grocery shop.
Sweet Almond Oil
Avocado Oil and
Rosemary Essential Oils
Method
 I get a small mixing bowl and depending how long your hair is or what suits your hair the most, Id make a mixture of Sweet Almond oil (roughly a tablespoon), Avocado Oil (half a tablespoon), 8 drops of Rosemary Essential Oil, mix it together, and massage it into my scalp thoroughly and into the lengths of my hair, focusing on the ends.
Duration
Most of the time I leave this in my hair overnight or for a good few hours if I'm home all day. It is quite oily and greasy looking on the hair so only do this when your at home tramping around!
How my hair feels
I wash this out with shampoo twice, and condition my hair as usual. I leave my hair to air dry naturally if I can. Even when you hair is wet, you can feel how smooth and thick your hair feels. Rosemary Oil is a really good treatment for the scalp, it's invigorating and has this nice cooling effect on the scalp, it helps promotes hair growth and healthy roots...which means healthy hair growth! Avocado Oil has a lot of healthy nutrients in it, so it's like feeding your hair with good food...its also great for your skin! Sweet Almond Oil works as a carrier oil for the other oils and it also helps keep hair soft, luscious, smooth and healthy.
I have been doing this for a few months now, keeping a strict regime, (or when I can) and its really helped restore my hair, each hair shaft feels smoother, my ends feel healthier, and overall my hair feels and looks thicker, fuller and softer, my new hair growth is also a lot shinier too. My hair just has the extra bounce like you usually get after a haircut.
I will keep doing this as its really helped restore and repair my hair. Its worth experimenting, different oils benefit people differently, sometimes for extra moisture and silkier hair you can add coconut oil to the mixture, or replace one oil instead of the other!

It's Pure Organics Herbal Hair Colour Dark Brown | Review

Natural Hair Dye by It's Pure Organics in Dark Brown Review All I can say is wish I knew about this dye sooner!    My hair history this past year...I've gone through pregnancy hair loss and dryness, not to mention having a no dye period when I was pregnant. This is why I went crazy with the dyes once my LO was born! I ombre'd my hair which meant my ends were bleached twice, coloured and used toners many times to keep ends dark blonde and ashy. Then semi colours on the roots/mid length to keep my hair and a few greys dark and glossy. So all this basically meant my hairs been in a really dry, brittle and frizzy state. It's ruined my natural waves all because of wanted an ombre. Something I'll never do again as its hard maintain when you naturally have dark hair that has a tendency to go orange tinged. I've had regular trims which have helped but after a while hair starts too look rough, lacking lustre and no shine. I think this is partially due to a bad...

Naturtint Permanent Hair Dye in 6N Dark Blonde and 7N Hazelnut Blonde| Review

Image
So over the past year I have tried a few different hair dyes, toners mainly from drugstores like Boots or Superdrugs and I always seem to come back to the Naturtint range. I find the coverage and the shade very much close to whats on the box, my hair NEVER ends up going jet black which it has done from other dye brands. I especially like the 'Natural/Neutral' range in Naturtint, its not too warm or too cool, just a very natural mid brown toned shade and I love it. I usually swap between 5N and 6N depending if i wanted to go abit darker or lighter. Over the summer I decided to mix 6N and 7N to see if I could go abit more lighter so I mixed both shades together. I have asian dark brown practically looking black hair and when I use the shade 5N I get a nice medium to dark brown shade to my hair.  When I want to get a more light medium brown shade thats more prominant and noticable then I usually go for 6N which I'd say is the perfect...

EX1 Invisiwear Liquid Foundation & EX1 Delete Concealer Review and Swatches

Image
EX1 Invisiwear Liquid Foundation This brand is fairly new and was founded by Farah Naz. Like many asians its hard to find foundations that match your skin tone perfectly. Some are too pink toned, high street brand only go upto a certain shade which doesn't cater for asian complexions or you find a shade but the brand is too expensive! Farah Naz has brought out a range specifically for olive skin tones. When she says olive, it means its suitable for Middle Eastern, Asian, South American or Mediterranean skintones. Shade: I came across EX1 Costmetics on twitter, Faryal Makhdoom posted a picture of some of the products and it intrigued me to visit their website. I read somewhere that they now have the brand in Topshop in Oxford Street so I went and purchased the shade F300. I did swatch the F200 in store but I think thats more of an NC 25-30 shade. F300 is perfect for NC35-40 skintone which is me. NC40 or NC42 onwards is probably the F400. F400 is a medium-tan colour.  ...
