When I was young, I remember my mum used to be very particular of not getting me a hair cut except from her own hands and needless to say she was not a hair stylist. I am not sure what is with old mindsets that there is something in the hands of the stylist which lends character to your hair. What will you say about a person whose hand suited you first and later did not? Well, the same thing happened to me.

How to use Henna and Indigo to naturally darken brown Hair?
Since I hit my 30s, I've been noticing greys creeping up one by one. Maybe not 50 shades, but enough to be noticeable! Sadly, most of them turn up around the crown of my head and end up being very visible. Ever since I decided to grow out my hair, I've been trying to take care of it better and part of that was to stop using chemical dyes on it. I just got tired of the whole cycle of getting damaged and split ends, cutting it then wondering why I wasn't able to grow it out.

But, this time my friend … [Read more...] about How long and how often should henna be for? {Hair Care}
