Personal Care

In recent months I have experienced with my own hair and products for skin care. For many black women with natural hair, finding products, is consistent with our own hair type, a process that can require significant time and money. I like to try my own mix and see what works. It's fun, affordable, and after some trial and error, has excellent results!

My hair is natural and highly structured. It's lean, super Coily,and dry. It is with a texture directly to the frontal hairline thin and very thick with the crown. My goal is to hair care to add moisture and softness, and the hair easier to comb.

My skin is very dry and very sensitive. Normally use all natural soaps, or "sensitive" version of commercial soaps. I use shea butter for moisture, but sometimes use lazy. I wanted a skin moisturizer makes my skinsoft and smelling fresh, but so fast and easy as possible.

I have already done, to have few essential oils on the one hand, and have a very detailed research on the ingredients is good for natural hair and skin care. I have two products that are part of my regular hair care regimen of skin: natural hair have become water-based moisturizer and a skin moisturizer that doubles as a developing insect-and triple, a insect bitePacifier.

A herbal Kaya's Hair Cocktail

Fill one of four to eight ounces of water spray bottle. I use spray bottle recycling Victoria's Secret body sprays. They give you a nice fine mist your hair is wet and dripping all over. Distilled water is great, but I use tap water.

Add a few drops of Suave Tropical Coconut conditioner. Bring to this, about a quarter teaspoon or five to six drops of each essential oil of rosemary and cinnamon essential oil. If you want to add a few drops of grapefruit, vanilla, orange or lavender. You can use a pipette or just eyeball.

I like this mix also eliminated or spray on a towel soaking wet hair and dry. If, after rinsing the hair with water or washing your hair with air conditioning. From time to time I shampoo.

If you do not rinse or wash your hair on a given day, I spray my dry cocktail in my> Hair and let sit for five to 10 minutes, while I take a shower or brushing teeth. Then I use my hands to comb finger snaps.

If my hair is extra stubborn, or I'm using money and they want that there was a certain way, I use pins as it dries clear. I also use this spray as an aid if I have a double-strand twist style hair. It makes my hair soft and easy to comb, and my turns are smooth and well defined.

IfTo add additional moisture to this mixture you like, olive oil, vegetable glycerin and aloe vera juice.

Kaya skin, herbal cocktails

This summer, mosquitoes bite like crazy. My skin is dry and itchy in the temperature changes, and because I ran my normal soap and had to use a backup. So I did a little mixed.

Fill a spray bottle with water. Add a little cider vinegar, rosemary essential oil, peppermint essential oil and teaTree oil. Add some extra virgin olive oil, a teaspoon or two. I Lightly spray the mixture all over his body after a shower, while still in the tub. Want to spray your body including the face, if you want, without spraying the place. You can also sprinkle this mixture on the hair.

The great thing about this is hydrating body spray that drives insects and soothes itchy insect bites. I spray directly on the bites, if I do, and is the areaItching almost immediately. It smells much the same time.

Safety Issues

Essential oils are strong. If you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, nursing, drugs, or in a state of ill health, be very careful with them. Although none of the above cases, still be investigated by an essential oil you use and consult your doctor before trying something new.

Try our new compounds in a test area before the entire scalp and body. ViewIf you notice any of these reactions such as redness, swelling, itching or burning. If it stops and starts.

Never use essential oils in full force. A few drops from four to eight liters of water is sufficient.

Start with mixtures of only one or two ingredients. This makes it easier to use the process of elimination, if you have a bad reaction to something.

Many essential oils have natural antiseptic properties and inhibit bacterial growth. However, if you mix water and oil, which is the Pollution potential. Application of skin products that contain bacteria or fungi, can cause a lot of itching, swelling, or worse. Save your beer in the refrigerator to prolong its life.
