Instant Non-Greasy Hair

Need to get rid of limp, greasy and stringy hair in a jiffy and don't have time for a shampoo and blow dry?

Try sprinkling some baby powder on your hair brush, over turning your hair/head and running the brush from the nape of your neck through to the tips of your hair. Toss back your hair, style as needed. And there you have it! Instant bouncy hair with a non-greasy look.







Refresh Your Eyes

We've all experienced long hard days that run into late nights, followed by just a couple hours sleep,  only to be repeated again the following day.  So what do you do when you're tired of the tired eyes look?

Try pouring some ice spring water into a wide clean bowl, add a few splashes of rose water and a few drops of honey. Submerge one eye into to the bowl and try opening your eyes in the mixture for a few brief seconds. Pour this mixture down the drain and mix a new batch for the other eye.  This is necessary so as to avoid transferring any infections from eye to eye.  Rinse your eyes with cold mineral water. Redness may linger for awhile in the eyes but this will soon pass and leave your eyes feeling and looking refreshed.


Colour Your Hair Naturally

Tired of the damage that hair dye does to your tresses?  How about doing it minus the chemicals?

You will need a few springs of rosemary, two cups of water and two teaspoons of black tea.  Allow these ingredients to simmer until it reduces to have the amount of liquid. When it has cooled, mix with 1/4 cup of shampoo.  Shampoo regularly and let sit in your hair for 15 minutes at a time. You will experience a gradual lightening of the hair with each use.
