Protein rinses for your hair

Besides the after-shampoo herbal rinses mentioned here, you should also try some of these easy-to-make protein rinses to lubricate and condition your hair. However make sure that you do it on an easy day, when you are not going out.

Wheat germ rinse

Take 4 T of powdered wheat germ and tie it ip in a muslin bag. Soak the bag in 1 pint of water for 3 hours. Squeeze the bag and use the solution to rinse your hair.

Whey after shampoo rinse

Collect and strain whey, and use it as a rinse. Whey liquid contains abundant protein – so this is an awesome, inexpensive protein hair rinse, worth a try.

Oatmeal rinse

Fill a muslin bag with 4 T of powdered oatmeal and soak the fastened bag in a pint of water for 3-4 hours. Squeeze out the milky white liquid and use as a last rinse.

Natural remedies for dark circles around your eyes

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern.

Coconut oil for beauty

Coconut oil, due its high saturated fat content was branded as unhealthy and artery-clogging which could cause heart diseases. This claim has been widely disproved by the scientific community and it is now being hailed as one of world’s healthiest cooking oils.

Coconuts and coconut oil have always been a part of the cuisine in tropical countries like India (South) and Sri Lanka and even today coconut is indispensable in their diet.
