Ask and Tell: Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit under $70!

ArianneUpdated on April 2, 2018April 2, 2018Leave a Comment

The Item: Singer and entertainer, Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit. The musical artist was spotted in her floral frock while out enjoying a date with her NFL hubby, Russell Wilson.

You Asked: Okay, I kind of just need a little confirmation. I think I found Ciara’s jumpsuit online but the price is throwing me off. This look is by ZARA right? BTW I am in the US.

Ask and Tell: Ciara Wilson’s ZARA Printed Jumpsuit under $70

The Verdict: Thanks for the couture question and yes, you are correct! Cici’s cute jumpsuit is by the ZARA fashion label. The brand describes its design as a “long jumpsuit with floral print and contrasting piping detail. [It also] features a lapel collar, V-neckline, long sleeves, front pockets and buttoned cuffs.” For these reasons, the brand named this ensemble, the ZARA Printed Jumpsuit.

Moving on to price we can completely understand why there might be some confusion. ZARA’s website is not always automatically set to the country that you reside in. For instance, the printed jumpsuit you are desiring on our end reads as 79.90CAD. This is Canadian money, so not quite helpful to someone wanting to pay in dollars. However, the equivalent amount in American money would be around $62. Watch for prompts because many times ZARA will have popups asking if you want to change the currency.

Hope that answered your fashion question! If you or a style obsessed gal pal has one they would like to ask give us a follow on Instagram, slide into our DMs and ask away.

ArianneUpdated on March 29, 2018March 29, 2018Leave a Comment

Remember when your mom told you to build a bridge when you had a problem? Well, that advice is about to really come in handy. Introducing The Bra Bridge, the newest fashion and intimates accessory that can instantly enhance and shape the girls!

Forget Surgery! The Bra Bridge Instantly Enhances Any Bust Size

If we all were born with the Ta-Tas of a Victoria’s Secret model there would be little room for complaint. However, this is not a perfect world with a utopia of perfectly shaped melons. Therefore, that means some of us are in need of a little bit of help.

No problem. Bridge the gap (literally) between you and the perfect breast crew with the help of the Bra Bridge. We fortunately got the lowdown on why this product was created and what type of problems it can help fix. The brand reveals,

“Many women have a complicated love/hate relationship with their bras and how their breasts look in them. The Bra Bridge is designed to help women of all breast sizes shift that relationship towards loving their appearance. The issues women have with their bras are as varied as the different shapes and sizes breasts come in:

An overabundance of bouncing.
Not enough cleavage, for small busts.
A little too much cleavage, for bigger busts.
General sagging [and] the natural result of aging.
A collection of bras that have stretched out and no longer fit well.”

The Bra Bridge Instantly Enhances Any Bust Size

Okay, we have to admit, a lot of those issues are for real a pain in the you know what. So how does the Bra Bridge Breast Enhancer resolve these common problems? Once more the BB Breast Enhancer label answers,

“Introducing the Bra Bridge Breast Enhancer, the easy, simple, inexpensive way to help shape your breasts; lift and hold them in place, reduce sagging, bouncing and side boob. And create a custom fit for your bra. Bra Bridge is a clip that attaches to both cups of your bra and pulls your breasts in and forward; creating a slimmer, more flattering look every day and in every outfit.

The Bra Bridge breast enhancer is secured between the cups of your existing bra to pull on the bra’s cups and provide additional support for your breasts. The Bra Bridge enhancer can lift and support your breasts, reduce side-boob, enhance cleavage, reduce unwanted bouncing and provide other advantages.

A difference to feel your very best, everyday! The Bra Bridge Breast Enhancer is the simple and inexpensive way to help shape your breasts. We’re confident you’ll love the fit, feel, and style of the Bra Bridge.”

The Bra Bridge- Who’s Behind It All

You’ll be happy to know that this nifty and handy product was invented by a woman. A woman who no doubt understands the struggle ladies all around the world face, chest first. We caught up with the busy entrepreneur behind this ingenius design who filled us in on why she decided the world needed another “bridge.” Founder Judith Samson says,

“I invented the Bra Bridge because I struggled with the way my breasts looked; they stretched passed my rib cage and bounced too much, affecting my self-confidence about the way I looked. The Bra Bridge reduced my side boob, but also the bouncing and sagging, lifting and holding everything in place.

The beauty of the Bra Bridge is that it is so easy to use, essentially giving you a custom fit with every bra you wear. My mission is to help women of all shapes and sizes gain confidence about their shape and the way they look both in personal and professional life, giving them a positive body image that translates into self-confidence and growth. I am confident you will love the Bra Bridge as much as my friends and I do.”

The Bra Bridge Instantly Enhances Any Bust Size – The Final Word

As one can see, there are plenty of things to love about this product. First of all, if you already own a great bra that is making the ladies look spectacular; you now can simply add more bust boosting power to your intimates arsenal. Or if the same very bra is losing some of its effectiveness; you can snap on a clip and never miss a boobie beat.

Moreover, the clips come in 3 different colors. White, a nude and black. Therefore, they are more than likely to match seamlessly with quite a few of your currently owned bras.

Lastly, it is an affordable, budget friendly option. While some bras, implants, pills, creams and the like can run up a credit card bill. The Bra Bridge can give your chest a sexier boost for a week’s worth of Starbucks.

Ready to bring the Bra Bridge revolution into your life? Get yours by heading online to www.brabridge.com. Once there you can order a set of the amazing bridge clips. Each set of 3 retails for a very reasonable $19.99.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! EVERY DETAIL!

ArianneUpdated on April 2, 2018March 27, 2018Leave a Comment

Rihanna has the Internet crashing over news regarding her latest upcoming release. You ready? Better be because they’re here, the Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! A sexy step away from her sick lineup of lipsticks and diverse foundations. So then, what are these new beauty must-haves for summer 2018?

Literally, just the products that will be in every beauties makeup arsenal. Starting with the Fenty Beauty Body Lava, this gem is a full body luminizer that will give your skin an out of this world gleaming effect. Like forget highlighter, Rihanna’s body illuminators are all that is necessary in order to achieve an intense, all day wear glow up.

Miss Fenty is kicking off her Body Lava collection with not one, but two luxurious tones. Beginning on April 6th you will be able to purchase the Fenty Beauty Body Lava in both: Brown Sugar and Who Needs Clothes.

Brown Sugar is the deeper of the two body illuminating products. It has a more golden, coppery finish unlike Who Needs Clothes with it’s more pink pearl, lighter appearance. Nonetheless, each one packs a powerful, mesmerizing punch.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Pom Pom! EVERY DETAIL

However, even though Rihanna is flaunting it, why should one use an illuminator? What is it’s sole purpose anyway? To answer those questions allow us to ask, “Well, have you seen the Gram lately?” Everyone is glowing like they were created from the sun directly.

Nevertheless, not all of us are born with picture perfect skin with gorgeous luminousity. In fact, most of us are not. Thus, why using an illuminator product can come in handy; among other reasons, here are just a few:

Radiance– At times our delicate skin can look a little dull. Adding a smidge of product with a sparkling effect can instantly give skin a boost. Allowing for a more natural, healthy finish.

Go Baby Go– We’re all busy, so being able to brighten and enhance on the fly is anyone’s dream. Body luminizers are easy to use and give off super quick results. Instead of months of treatments you can get a celebrity glow in seconds.

Like a Rose Petal– Another amazing aspect of these glowing products are that they usually contain some sort of skin softening agent. Therefore, not only do you get to enjoy awesome highlighting elements, but softer, smoother feeling skin. WINNING!

Definition– Why do you use highlighter on your face? Besides it looking absolutely fabulous in a selfie, you most likely also use it for its contouring benefits. Highlighter allows users to bring out their best features while slightly altering the ones they are not so fond of. The same can be accomplished with a body luminizer.

You can apply it to only the areas you decide, in order to give definition and more contour to your body. Got a great chest? Show it off by illuminating it. Got sexy shoulders, taut stomach or neckline? Well then, you know what to do! Body illuminators can help you enhance any body part that you love.

Fenty Beauty Body Lava

So now that you know why you should use an illuminator, you may be wondering how exactly it works. Well, its pretty simple. You see these products are formulated with gentle pearlescent molecules that shimmer and shine once applied.

They can reflect light so that whether you are chilling on the beach or serving looks at a party; your skin can look A-list status. While the lightly textured mixture should make quite the impact with one pass. It can also still be layered in order to achieve even more intense yet beautiful results.

So we all have something to definitely be excited about when it comes to the release of Fenty Beauty Body Lava. However, did you know it is actually a member of a much bigger product lineup? Yup, it’s true, the Lava illuminators are apart of the Fenty Beauty Beach Please Collection.

As a result, Rihanna took to social media to talk about her new glow-worthy products. On Instagram she says,

“Summer came early with my Beach Please collection [by] Fenty Beauty. Body Lava Luminizer and Fairy Bomb glittering Pom Pom are coming to fentybeauty.com, Sephora, Harvey Nichols and Sephora in JCP on April 6th!”

Fenty Beauty Body Lava -EVERY DETAIL

Besides the nice reveal to fans the world’s favorite Badgal went a step further. Yes, Rih went full YouTube style on us all with tutorials demonstrating exactly how to use the new Beach Please collection. The tutorials were not only enlightening and a great plug for the line itself; but, also gave a cool sneak peek about another tool!

Beach Please will also incorporate a new kubuki brush to help one and all get their glow on. The brush works hand in hand with the Fenty Beauty Body Lava Luminizers to blend them in seamlessly into the skin. Not only will this provide a more professional looking finish; but will also help keep fingers clean. Since who really wants to deal with a messy application? UHM, no one (Lol).

Now that we have talked extensively about brushes and illuminating body lava. However, there’s still one more item to discuss and it’s just as fabulous! If you’re not feeling liquid, then maybe glowing up with powder will be more your speed. Enter the Fenty Beauty Fairy Pom Pom!

Fenty Beauty Fairy Bomb Pom Pom

Remember wanting to steal Tinker Bell’s wand so you can sprinkle pixie dust everywhere? Oh wait, that was just us (haha)? Well, now you can dust yourself with a powder puff loaded with glitter.

The Fairy Pom Pom is reminiscent of old Hollywood. You may be reminded of classic starlets sitting in front of their vanities daintily patting themselves with powder puffs. Nonetheless, this is not your grandma’s powder. Instead of being baby powder fresh you will be able to puff your skin to a more luminous epidermis.

As one can see April 6th is gearing up to be quite a busy shopping day. However, since we are sure that the Beach Please Collection will sell like hot cakes there are a few things you should know. For instance, the collection will available for purchase on the 6th on the Fenty Beauty as well as Sephora website. Also, the Sephora app will have purchasing powers.

Furthermore, items will also be available via Harvey Nichols and Sephora at JCP just at different times. Availability will begin at 8a.m. on the Harvey Nichols website; and 10 a.m. in store at Harvey Nichols and Sephora at JCP. That’s it for now, happy shopping everyone!

Editor’s Diary: Louis Vuitton Le Jour Se Leve – NEW Spring Fragrance!

ArianneUpdated on March 27, 2018March 26, 2018Leave a Comment

Dear Diary,

Thanks to my mother I can not in my right mind walk out my home without a whiff of fragrance trailing behind me. My mom’s go to was always White Diamonds (by the late Elizabeth Taylor) or Chanel No.5; plus one from France whose name currently slips me (sorry mom). Nevertheless, I have always loved to switch it up depending on the season. Now that spring is upon us I am beyond excited about all the new perfume releases; including the spanking new Louis Vuitton Le Jour Se Leve!

No not the classic the movie. You see, Le Jour Se Leve is the title of a French film that is over 75 years old. Released back in June of 1939, the film starring Jean Gabin is considered to be one of the greatest in French movie history. While having the same name as an iconic film is cool that is not the reason I am obsessing over LV’s newest addition.

Louis Vuitton Le Jour Se Leve – NEW Spring Fragrance

What is the real meaning of Le Jour Se Leve? When translated into English it is, “The day begins.” Usually, in spring we think of renewal or a fresh start. This is due to the flowers blooming, beautiful greenery everywhere and the sun shining brightly. How can one not love such tantalizing calmness?

Nevertheless, now the season of new beginnings is bottled up and ready to wear. Fashion house Louis Vuitton is taking all the spring season vibes into consideration for their newest scent. LV explains,

“Introducing Le Jour Se Leve: a new fragrance from Louis Vuitton that radiates luminous optimism. The essence of the sun’s first rays.

The LV Parfums Collection is updated with Le Jour Se Leve, an optimistic and stimulating breath of early morning air. Perfumer Jacques Cavalier Belletrud captured a comforting freshness using mandarin illuminated by sambac jasmine and blackcurrant accords. Discover the new fragrance in Louis Vuitton stores and at louisvuitton.com now.”

Ciroc Blue Dot Ad Campaign Feat. Diddy, Cassie, Def Loaf and French Montana

Arianne March 16, 2018March 16, 2018Leave a Comment

So much hotness it is scorching our phone screens! On social media Mister Sean John himself released visuals for the new Ciroc Blue Dot Ad Campaign; featuring Diddy, Cassie, Def Loaf and French Montana. The caption? It reads as, “All in the Family.” Welp, it looks like that is exactly what Diddy is doing!

The ad campaign pictures the star-studded squad in a tennis setting. Relaxing, chilling and of course toasting to the good life. Diddy is certainly a masterful genius in the realm of marketing. Putting on artists while showcasing his very own product. Thus, only proving that the music industry and its influence is still a powerhouse when it comes to making sales.

Ciroc Blue Dot Ad Campaign Feat. Diddy, Cassie, Def Loaf and French Montana

If the campaign is drawing you in to make a purchase you may be wondering how much Blue Dot is going for these days. Online and in-store the prices vary. We personally noticed a range of $22 to a little of $50.

Now while the Peach flavor gets tons of love, no one is sleeping on the bottle with the blue dot either. In fact, Ciroc recently shared a few recipes sure to be a hit at your next soiree. Master them and you will be the Belle of the Ball. Here they are:

Ciroc Blue Dot Martini

1.5oz Ciroc Vodka0.

5oz elderflower liqueur

0.75oz white wine apertiff

Ciroc Lola

1oz Ciroc Vodka

1.75oz fresh lemon juice

.75oz simple syrup

splash of champagne

Ciroc Blue Dot Ad Campaign

You fancy huh? If you have been loving all the different Ciroc releases since 2007, then you may just be a lover of the “finer” things of life. As a result, do you know the background story of this beloved liqueur brand?

Allow us to share a few interesting details. Ciroc is actually French made. SHOCKER. Actually, not really, at the bottom of each and every bottle in fine print is a brief description of Ciroc’s French roots. However, who picks up a bottle to read right? The fun is popping that “bad boy” (all puns intended) open and enjoying the fruits of Diddy’s labor (yes, more puns LOL).

Nevertheless, Ciroc gets its amazing taste due to being manufactured by using grapes from the Charente-Maritime region of France. Furthermore, it is produced and then distributed by a British-based multinational alcoholic beverage maker known as, Diageo. So then, now you too are in the know. Thanks to Diddy, France and Diageo your night’s can be seriously lit.

Nubian Stories Night Out -The Best Black Women Networking Event!

ArianneUpdated on March 16, 2018March 16, 2018Leave a Comment

Thinking about starting a new business? Striking it out on your own can be a bit intimidating. However, surrounding yourself with like-minded, driven as well as successful individuals; can make the road a lot smoother. Enter Nubian Stories Night Out -The Best Black Women Networking Event for boss ladies desiring to go next level!

Nubian Stories Night Out -The Best Black Women Networking Event

So then, you are probably wondering what exactly is Nubian Stories Night Out? In order to give you the full picture, we had the event’s founder, Tiffany Dames, lay it all out for us via Q&A.

1966 Magazine: Tiffany, we think what you are doing for black girls and women is nothing short of amazing! Please tell us what exactly is the purpose of Nubian Stories Night Out (NSNO)?

Tiffany Dames: NSNO curates events for young Black professionals; and advocates for Black Women through entrepreneurship, comradery, and artistry. The past several months, I’ve curated an array of events, including a Fitness Bootcamp, Pop Up Dinner, an all-Black Women Art Expo, and on April 8th I will be hosting a Golden Parachute Black Business Mixer. Each of my previous events has gradually grown, creating a following that I strive to continue to create enjoyable experiences for.

Nubian Stories Night Out – Why Get Involved ASAP!

1966 Magazine: Very nice! Why do feel that networking events are so important for black women entrepreneurs to be apart of regularly?

Tiffany Dames: According to Fortune Magazine, “The number of businesses owned by African American women grew 322% since 1997, making black females the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs in the U.S.” — This shows that plenty of us know exactly what we’re doing. However, there are even more Black women who want to make that step into entrepreneurship but cannot overcome one obstacle. Fear.

The fear of uncertainty can be debilitating. So much so, it stops us from even trying. We plan our failure more than we plan our success. Nubian Shorties Night Out strives to ease that fear by curating these events allowing us to come together, to network and build upon community economics.

1966 Magazine: Now that’s what we are talking about! So then, what’s next for NSNO?

Tiffany Dames: On April 8th our next event, entitled Nubian Shorties Night Out Presents…Golden Parachute Black Business Mixer. The goal is to create a space that gives Black entrepreneurs a chance to form an economic family, by building a set of connections to network and utilize for the promotion of their industry.

[Also] by continuing to curate events that promote and hire Black owned businesses, this offers assistance to budding entrepreneurs in building a successful brand and business. Essentially creating our own Golden Parachute to fall back on.

Nubian Stories Night Out – The Last Word

We love that Tiffany mentions the “golden parachute.” This term refers to the payment that high level executives receive upon termination. It ensures that they will be properly compensated regardless of what may happen or occur in the future.

Wouldn’t that be wonderful if that could be experienced in the black community as a whole? By networking and continuing to build together a safety net can begin to be formed.

Remember, you guys upward movement for one, is upward movement for us all. So be sure to support Tiffany’s upcoming event and check out the video below to get a taste of what you can experience by attending a NSNO event!

Therefore, what is the secret behind Mowry’s insanely gorgeous curls? We have the answer! We went straight to the source in order to learn ALL the secrets. We’re talking products, tools and tips even on combating shrinkage. So if you are ready to take your natural waves and curls to the next level, read on!

Tamera Mowry -Her Stylist Rachel B Mason Reveals How to Get Her Hair

As all curly girls know, your strands are only as beautiful and manageable as your product arsenal. Here’s what Rachel keeps in hers get Tamera Mowry glamorous curls! Mason states,

“I want to give a shout out to Deva Curl for providing us over on The Real with some of your styling products and tools. They get Tamera Mowry’s curls so luscious and fluffy. And for those of you who wanted to know what we use on Tamera’s hair, well here it is.”

Deva Curl is absolutely amazing especially if you are currently wearing your tresses curly or wavy. The products are affordable and effective. Plus, they even have styling tools to make hair drying a cinch. Nevertheless, are there any other products Mason would strongly recommend for the curly and wavy hair squad? There is! She says,

“Product of choice today [is] Shea Moisture’s new product Red Palm Oil and Cocoa Butter [collection] for shrinkage prone hair. I tested it on a client and I liked how the Curl Strench Pudding has just enough weight to it to keep the hair from shrinking too much during the dry process.

It’s not drastic but you notice a difference in the hair shrinkage. What’s key during the diffusing is to leave very little dampness in your hair, you don’t want to dry your hair out.”

Tamera Mowry – Hair Inspiration

Rachel B Mason has created several beautiful hairstyles for Mowry for her hit daytime show The Real. So then, we rounded up 12 of our favorites to give you a little curly hair inspiration. Enjoy!

Tamera Mowry -Her Stylist Rachel Mason

With numerous awards, celebrity clientele and several hit shows under her belt; we wanted to know what inspires Mason to continue to be so successful in the hair industry. She reveals,

“Yeah so I was at mom’s place and came across these old photos of my pops and granny. Let me just say they are the reasons why I am the professional Hairstylist I am today. They were driven. They were innovative. They had growing hands.

They had knowledge. Skills. Spiritual. They were creative. They were hungry. They were determined.

They had strength during times when we (you know what I mean) weren’t acknowledged for our talents and creations but set pride aside and did what needed to be done to support their family. And honey child I am here to say I got all that in my DNA. 3 generations… different eras.. similar challenges; [and] all good people. I wish they were here today so I could thank them at least; for passing it down to me. Forever grateful.”

Last thing we wanted to know was Mason’s thoughts on the long held black hair question, “What really does it mean to have ‘natural’ hair?” There are so many opinions out there. However, many do not realize being natural does not necessarily refer to hair being curly or coily.

Tamera Mowry -Her Stylist Rachel B Mason Answers the BIG Question

Therefore, this subject is something we felt a professional view would be cool to have. So then, what does hair stylist, Rachel Mason have to say about it? Rachel states,

“Okay, so I want to make clear what going natural means. It means cutting out any and all chemical services to your hair. No color. No highlights. No relaxers. No perms. Virgin hair.

Easy enough right? I mentioned previously that I was going natural. I am. I am just going through something called a transition stage. You can cut it all off and rock a cute fade if it fits you to do so; rock a TWA or just cut the hair that is chemically treated and start there.

This is MY transition look and I chose to gradually go natural. I like to curl it, press it out or set it on some rods. I personally like the ability to change my hair when I feel like it and not be stuck with one look. I used to be like that once upon a time.

[However] very soon I will be completely natural, free of chemical or have virgin hair. But don’t be surprised if you see some color later down the line for summer! Here’s the thing ladies if you want to do it, do it! Make sure you do it for you and do it right. If you need help or ideas entering your transition speak to your Hair Stylist or just hit me up if you need a little inspiration.”

Your shampoo is just too strong. Shampoo can be drying since it gets rid of dirt and oils. If you wash your hair too much or have a very strong shampoo, even the natural oil that is needed to keep your hair and scalp moisturized is stripped off.
Excessive blow-drying. We must admit, at times it’s hard to think of ever living without a blow dryer. Nevertheless, it must be said that it has the ability to draw out moisture from your hair. Also, towels can make our hair frizzy, so try using an old t-shirt instead for drying your hair if you’re not really in a rush to dry your strands.
Excessive use of heated hair styling products such as straightening or a curling iron makes moisture evaporate away from your hair. Therefore, instead aim to use an ionic or ceramic type of heated hair care products and always use a hair protectant product before dealing with these hair tools.
Environmental factors also affect your hair such as humidity, strong winds, etc.
Chemical treatments such as perming, re-bonding, relaxing and coloring alter your hair’s ph balance and moisture.
Malnutrition
Family Genetics
Excessive soaking in a chlorinated swimming pool.

Dry Hair: 7 Quick and Amazing Natural Solutions

Now that we’ve learned what causes dry hair, all we have to do is to stay away from these causative factors. However, if you are already experiencing dry hair, here are some natural treatments that you could use.

Avocado

Indication: Dry and Damaged Hair

Mash an avocado, seed and skin not included. Add one egg, then beat the mixture. This treatment will restore health and moisture back to your hair since it is rich in vitamins, fatty acids, and minerals. Apply it directly on your hair. Let it sit for 20 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.

Unboiled Milk

Indication: Dry Hair and Unmanageable Hair

Milk is very rich in protein and is widely known for its deep moisturizing capabilities. That combination will not only make your hair healthy and strong, but it will also leave your hair feeling super smooth.

Pour unboiled milk in a small bowl. Apply the milk directly to your hair and scalp using a cotton ball. Leave it for an hour and rinse thoroughly.

Butter/ Shea Butter

Indication: Dry and Dull Hair

This is also known for its deep moisturizing effects for your skin (scalp) and hair. Butter/Shea Butter are essential oils that are full of essences that work best to hydrate your strands and leaving them looking shiny and healthy.

Massage the butter directly into your hair in a circular motion. Use a shower cap to cover your hair/head and let it sit for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse as usual.

Banana

Indication: Dry Hair

This fruit is high in potassium, antioxidants, and vitamins that keep your hair healthy and hydrated. Eating them or using them as a beautifying treatment has both health and beauty benefits.

This can easily be prepared by mashing or blending two ripe bananas. You can also add an egg in the mixture to create a paste with a high moisturizing property. Massage this paste into your hair and scalp and let it sit for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse as usual.

Honey

This is a nourishing treatment for your hair. It also prevents frizz, leaving your hair smoother and silkier. Your natural hair color will also look more radiant after this treatment.

You can apply it directly to your hair. If you want your hair to look sleeker, you can apply the honey using a comb then let it sit for an hour. Prevent yourself from moving, clipping, folding, bending, and pressing your hair against any objects (Don’t use shower cap. Keep hair smooth as possible) Rinse and shampoo as usual.

Mayonnaise

Indication: Dry, Brittle, Unmanageable Hair

This is another great source of natural oil and proteins. It will make your hair healthier, smoother, softer and shinier at the same time. If you can put up with the sour smell, this is a great treatment that would pamper your hair to health.

You can directly apply this to your hair using slight circular pressure. Cover your hair with a plastic (shower cap) and let it sit for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse as usual. You can also opt to add other oils and essences like olive oil and coconut oil for a boosted effect.

Aloe Vera

This is a hair beauty secret that has been used even in the ancient times. Aloe Vera is 90% water plus added vitamins and minerals known to make your hair vibrant, well-moisturized, healthy, and smooth. Based on my personal experience, it helped my hair grow faster as well.

You can prepare a treatment paste by blending or spooning out the gel of the aloe vera leaf. Feel free to add oils and essences according to your needs and preferences that will help boost its effects. You can massage it into your hair and scalp directly. Use a shower cap to cover your hair, and let it sit for at least and hour. Rinse and shampoo as usual.

For best results, make this an overnight treatment and apply aloe vera paste before you go to bed. Cover with a shower cap and rinse in the morning after.
