 Hair Care 101

I'm out here living my low-key lifestyle blogger life. Firstly, I'm no expert at this, there are just tips and tricks I've been using for a while and I thought I could help my fellow readers.



So here we go--

 1) know your hair type-- So I think it's important your hair type to know what it lacks and how you could improve the quality, texture or to maintain the same texture, density and volume.

There's generally 4 types of hair

Straight Hair

Wavy Hair

Curly Hair

Coiled Hair


2) REALLY know your hair - - by this I mean, know what issues it faces--dryness, dandruff,  split ends. 

You could either consult a Dermatologist for the same or try home remedies if it's mild 


3) Create a Hair Care Routine -- having a set routine can help you make sure you are giving your hair all the care it needs. 

My haircare usually involves - washing my hair twice a week( I don't recommend washing it more than thrice, it washes out the necessary oil from the scalp making it super dry)

My hair care routine usually involves washing it twice a week. Once oiling it, leaving it overnight and washing

the second time by applying a hair masks ( I use it as a replacement to the conditioners) and washing it off with a mild shampoo.


4) Choose the right products - - Your hair requires toxin free products and free from sulphate and other harmful chemicals. So a make sure you choose products free from them. I'll link some products Down below 

I personally don't use a serum or conditioner (personally think the lesser, the better) 


5) DRY WELL-- Drying your hair after washing is the most important part because that is when your hair is prone to breakage. It's advised to use a cotton tee or a really soft cloth to dry it. (avoid using hair dryer, if you're not in a hurry) 



Hair Masks 

1) yoghurt - banana hair mask - start out by pouring yoghurt (according to your hair length) add a banana (mash it really well) honey ( this has started to look more like a good recipe I know, trust me it's worth it) and aloe vera gel and apply on the hair roots and lengths

Leave it on for 30-45min and wash it out with a mild shampoo


2) Aloe vera gel mask - this is probably the easiest hair mask. Apply fresh aloe vera gel to your hair length and roots

Leave it on for 30-45min and wash with a mild shampoo


3) Rice water- add water to a bowl of rice and leave it overnight 

Then using a spray bottle, use the water in your roots and leave it on. 

While washing, use the left over water to wash your hair

Things Nooone Tells You About Grief

For a while now, I've been trying to look for comfort in words. When I experienced loss, the kind of loss that shook my body away (literally) mentally and physically, I took my time to heal and more usually than not, I gravitated towards reading. Reading about someone facing familiar emotions and feelings kept me sane. I hope that this post helps you find comfort if you've ever experienced loss or are still trying to mend your heart.   There's a scar on my left leg and it has been that way for a while, something which I had developed recently due to let's say, carelessness. Everyday I took my time examining it, I realized  it changed colors but never turned better. I eventually stopped caring. But my loved one(who I lost, recently) made it a point to ask me how bad the scar was, everyday. After a while, when I started caring again, I looked over the scar, it got better.  I think grief is a lot like that,  it changes colors, takes it's time to heal  but even...

A little bit of today |A little bit of tomorrow Epiphanies and Reflections I've been trying to write for a while now, but I just couldn't.  I recently read something on Tumblr that helped me kick start writing. I'll link it here- Read this here It's been one month today. One month that I've lost another significant part of my life in a span of one year. It's almost funny how time flies by. The other day, I told my mum "The best and worst thing about life is that, it moves on."  It feels like life is on autopilot, whether we choose it or not.   Do we really move on or do we distract ourselves to maintain our sanity? A few months back, when I was redoing my room, I bought the glow in the dark stickers for the ceiling. It just reminded me of my childhood days and I'd have my own sky to stare at, at night.  I don't remember the last time I looked up at my ceiling and admired them.  I either read like there's no tomorrow or I don't read at a...

  One thing I absolutely love and spend most of my free time doing is finding new things- Art, Books, Music, Shows, Movies, Poems and I can go on and on and on. Most things I find are usually through Pinterest, YouTube Comments, Following a few YouTube Channels, Reading an Author’s Favorite or about his inspiration (Always a great way to find great art) . Here are a few things I’ve discovered this month so far- Music: Let’s start with something easy. I don’t really have a specific genre of music that I like but I think it could be broadly classified as Retro Chill or Vintage Vibe. This month I’ve Come across something a little different.  Halsey’s - “I'm not a Woman, I’m a god Halsey’s- “Girl is a Gun Cage the Elephant’s -”Cigarette Daydream” Lord Huron’s - “Long Lost” Honestly, I love the Lyrics of Halsey’s new songs, Makes me feel confident and powerful but Cigarette Daydream and Long lost have been playing on loop. Lord Huron’s have a sense of Calm and a weird sense of f...
