To vary your henna hair colour, stir some of these color enhancers into the henna paste mixture

Allspice, cinnamon, or nutmeg If the smell of henna is not exactly to your liking, add ¼ teaspoon (about 1 g) allspice, cinnamon, or nutmeg to the paste.

Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice Add 3 tablespoons (45 ml) vinegar or fresh lemon juice for golden or copper highlights. This treatment also is beneficial for oily hair.

Egg yolk or whole egg An egg yolk or a whole egg will help condition and add shine to the hair. Use the yolk for dry hair, and the whole egg for oily hair.

Cloves Cloves deepen and enhance the color of henna. Grind ½ tablespoon (3 g) dry whole cloves to powder and add to the henna paste.

Cognac Add 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cognac and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil to effect a redder henna colour.

Tea To set the henna color, steep a full-bodied tea for 20 to 30 minutes. Substitute the tea liquid for the required water in the paste. Black China or Ceylon tea adds golden highlights to brown hair.

Coffee To tone down the reds and deepen the browns, use brewed-not instant-coffee as substitute for the water in the paste. Brew at least 1 cup (260 ml), bring to a boil, and then let the coffee sit as long as possible (overnight is preferable) before adding to the henna mixture.

Olive Oil The addition of 2 to 4 tablespoons (30-60 ml) of olive oil conditions and moisturizes hair. This is particularly good for dry, brittle hair.

NOTE:- Use heena only as Hair conditioner don't apply heena frequently. Keep minimum 3 months of gap between 1st and the next application of heena.

LIPs Care

some simple, natural ways to keep your lips moist, soft, and lusciously. Since our lips contain no sebaceous glands, they can’t moisturize themselves,  and the small amount of saliva that reaches our lips via tongue-tip is often not sufficient to prevent our lips from becoming dehydrated.

here are some helpful tips
SIMPLE SOLUTION: 1. Slick on a bit of cocoa butter for a moisturizing, chocolate-flavored lip treat. It’s colorless and not too shiny.

2. After brushing your teeth, GENTLY brush your lips as well. This will exfoliate and take away chapping, and will also plump up the lips temporarily.

3. Keep hydrated! Be sure to drink lots of water throughout the day.

4. A dab of honey on your lips will act as a humectant, drawing moisture from the air to your skin, keeping your lips soft and moist

5. A dab of vegetable glycerin mixed with vitamin E or wheat germ oil makes an effective, nourishing moisture barrier. (Pure vegetable gycerin is available in natural food centers.)

For Graying

Take a little Mehendi , an egg, one table spoon of instant coffee powder. Mix it together and apply on the hair. Wash it after 45 minutes.
Boil one cup of dried gooseberry with 4 cups of water. Add a pinch of sugar in it. Keep boiling till the quantity of the liquid reduces to one cup. Mix 2 cups of Mehendi, an egg, juice of a lemon and the gooseberry solution and apply on hair. Wash the hair after two hours.

Natural face pack for all skin type

Face packs are softer and more porous types of facemasks. They improve circulation as well as cleanse and tauten the entire face. Because they are soft, they allow the skin to breathe more and are gentler than masks; they can be on longer, even during a full body massage.

The face packs discussed here are made of variety of fruits and vegetables. The juice of fresh fruits and vegetables tone and provide enzymes that help balance and cleanse the skin. Smash or pulp the fresh fruit and vegetables, then add fruit pectin,clay or oat flour to firm the mixture so it does not slide off the face.

For Normal Skin, Use avocado, banana, cantaloupe, grape, peach, nectarine.

For Dry skin, try apple, avocado, banana, carrot, pear, melon or nectarine.

For oily skin, use cabbage , cucumber, lemon, pear, strawberry or tomato.

For mature skin, choose apple, avocado, grape or lemon.

For blemished skin, try apple ,cabbage, grape or tomato.
Both mask or packs should be removed with cool water and a clean wash cloth.
