Recipe for Frizz Free Hair

Having tried multiple permutation combinations for frizz free hair, I think I have nailed the method that works best for me. Try it; it might work for you as well if you have coarse and damaged hair.  
It has become my weekend hair therapy.   Here is the recipe.




What you need:
·         Oil –2-3 tablespoons Almond oil, Coconut oil or Olive Oil or V05 hot Oil therapy kit
·         Protein rich Shampoo - Ogx Coconut Milk Shampoo
·         Protein rich conditioner  - Ogx Coconut Milk Conditioner
·         Hair Primer - Eva NYC Main Mask (10 in 1 Primer)
·         Ogx Argan dry oil hair spray
·         Hair Dryer
·         Scrunchie/hair elastic

Method:  
1.       Just an hour before shower, oil your scalp and hair thoroughly. For this oil mask, you will need about 2-3 table spoons of warm oil if you have medium length hair and less oil for shorter hair.
2.       Shampoo the hair twice with very warm water until you feel the oil has completely washed off.
3.       Condition the hair. Let the hair soak in the conditioner for a good 3-4 minutes. Wash off with cool to cold water.   
4.       Air dry for an hour until is lightly damp.
5.       Spray the Eva NYC primer. The NYC primer has a fine mist that protects the hair from the heat of the blow dryer while giving the hair a well conditioned shine without weighing it down.
6.       Blow-dry the rest the hair completely.  Sprintz the dry oil spray.
7.       Twist your hair into a bun using a scruchie/hair band.  Let your hair down when you are ready to go out.
Why it works:
·         Using warm water while shampooing allows you to rinse off the oil mask, and get clean hair.
·         Using cool water for conditioning seals and smoothes the hair cuticle.  A smoother hair cuticle better reflects light, giving your hair the appearance of shine.
·         Using enriched shampoo and conditioner like Ogx Coconut milk shampoo and conditioner which  is fortified with coconut milk, whipped egg white protein strengthens hair and adds hydration
·         Eva NYC Primer is a true hair elixir – it protects, hydrates and shines the hair
·         Air drying is less damaging for the hair, so use the hair dryer for the final phase of drying.
·         The hair in a bun lets your hair rest and calms it down. The scrunchie creates soft waves as if you had a salon blow- out!
  
 You can buy OGX Shampoo/Conditioner at most US department store (Walmart,Target. CVS, Walgreens etc) . Eva Primer from Costco. Amazon has all the items mentioned above

My Diwali Diary

My Diwali Diary...... With a flurry of Diwali invitations for parties, socials and soirees this past few weeks, it got me thinking that Diwali celebrations have bumped up a few notches recently in the US. From food to fashion finery these past few weeks have been a life style artist's delight. FaceBook is streaming with fashionistas showing off their new outfits, endless parade of ladies striking very similar poses - tummies tucked in and arms akimbo with an air of unsurpassed confidence. Mine is no exception. Among the various soirees I attended was a Diwali party hosted by my good friend, Nalini. It was perfect in every which way – the festivities, the food and of course the fun friends. The house was festooned with flower garlands, colorful rangoli in the foyer, soft oil wick diyas along the window sills and tables, and the family room decked in its festive glory.  We decided to wear golden yellow sarees…and called ourselves the 'golden girls', pun...

Favorite Moisturizers

Face:  Facial Moisturizer No matter what…don’t skip moisturizing your face every day. While you could do without the moisturizing supplements for your skin in your teens and early twenties, with each passing decade moisturizers become important if you want supple skin and if you want to delay the signs of aging. The drug stores and beauty aisles in the department stores have shelves stocked with these products.I have tried a number of these lotions and thought I would share my favorite picks in this blog. What do moisturizers do? Moisturizers make the skin soft, healthy, and supple. Most of the moisturizers are enriched with vitamins, skin brighteners and UV protectors. They also prepare the skin for applying foundation. Tips: As such if you have oily skin you will need water based formula and if you have dry skin you will need more oil based creams. Please make sure the lotions are non- comedogenic (means it does not clog your pores). Also do make sure your day...
