DIY: Black Seed Hair Oil!!

A lot has been said about Black Seed Oil also known as Kalonji / Nigella Sativa. Black seeds have been used in Ayurveda in numerous ways and one of the ways is as a 'hair oil'.

Why is this so powerful and raved about so much?

 Black seed oil assists in restoration of hair loss. It possesses anti-microbial and anti-oxidant properties. It strengthens hair follicles and hair roots. Makes your hair incredibly soft.
Black seed oil also assists healing of the skin. 

Besides having Hair and Skin Benefits, Black Seed Oil has multiple health benefits like aiding weight loss, treating fever, relief from gas, stomach cramps and pain.

With all the benefits of this oil it was impossible to resist making a DIY 😎 
I've made this hair oil at home and because the results are so fabulous I've taken it upon myself to spread the good news.

You will need:

1/2 cup black seeds
1/2 cup fenugreek seeds / Methi seeds
500 ml Coconut oil

Dry roast the seeds and coarse grind them separately in the blender. Make sure you coarse grind them separately as the grains are different in texture and size; so mixing them in the blender might end up powdering the black seeds.

Once you have the coarse powders ready, pour them in a glass jar and fill it up with coconut oil (organic/natural). Now use a double boiler and warm up the oil to speed-en up the infusion process. Make sure you don't heat the oil up too much, we don't intend to fry the seeds. 

Take the bottle off the boiler and keep it out in the sun for about 3 weeks to complete the infusion process. Keep stirring the mixture occasionally. 

After three weeks strain the mixture and Voila! your oil is ready to use J

I've made this at home and have used it about thrice so far; this is so powerful and beautiful on your hair that even when I was shampooing I could feel my hair super soft. This oil is pure love 💖

I've used plain coconut oil for this recipe but this could easily work with any other natural pure Ayurvedic hair oil that you might be using as well. I will give that a try in my next batch.

Refectocil Brow and Lash Tint- Review!!

Image
Is there any girl in Dubai who is not crazy about those dense brows? Anyone? Does any girl step out of the house without doing her brows? Eyebrows must always be on fleek!! With this whole brow frenzy going on and the added chore of filling them in everyday, I had to look for an easy way out. There were many options but most of them expensive and not worth it. Heard of micro-blading? It's better than an eye brow tattoo but you shell out around AED 1200 for this. Tattoo looks too artificial IMO so its a NO NO for me. So what am I left with? Easiest available options were Henna and Color (dye). Temp solutions but worth a try. In comes "Refectocil Brow and Lash Tint". This product is cruelty free, not tested on animals and Vegan 😎💃 I got my kit on E bay for around AED 80 and the kit included the tint cream, the developer and a mixing container. Chose shade no.3 which is dark brown and after being equipped with a couple of YouTube videos I w...

Lush Mask of Magnaminty Review!!

Image
Ola Lovelies!! Think its very obvious that I'm hopelessly in love with Lush and their products are so unique and unmatched that I don't think I will ever grow out of them ♥♥ Today I'm going to review the ever famous Mask of Magnaminty and this is the very first mask that I tried from Lush! TBH I just picked this one up because it was talked about so much and in comparison to the fresh face masks this had a much longer shelf life! What does Lush say about this mask? " Easily smoothed over the skin, this mask is made with peppermint oil to stimulate, marigold oil and chlorophyllin to treat the skin; evening primrose seeds and aduki beans to gently exfoliate as you wash it away. There’s mineral rich kaolin to nourish, honey for its antibacterial properties, and we used just the right amount of peppermint oil to stimulate blood cells under the surface of your skin and leave your skin looking bright and refreshed." Ingredients List: ...

SKINFOOD Black Sugar Honey Mask Wash Off- Review!!!

Image
SKINFOOD is an established Korean skincare brand and roots itself in food. The brand works around the philosophy of using food for healthy skin and all of their products have food as their key ingredients. You can say SKINFOOD is Korea’s LUSH. Their ingredients however are not as clean as LUSH. Being such a skin care junkie I had to try SKINFOOD and the first product I purchased was their Black Sugar Honey Wash off Mask. I got this on Souq and it didn't cost much. I believe this was for about AED 40. It's a wash off mask featuring organic black sugar granules for exfoliation, and rich honey that softens skin for a clean, smooth complexion. My Experience: This mask smells delicious... I mean lick worthy delicious. I could see the honey floating on top of the mask. It even looked edible to me. You have to mix the honey and sugar bits before you apply it. I used my sanitized finger straight into the pot and stirred the whole mixture until it...
