They are used to give shine to hair and gray tones to give the same level or darker than the natural.

NATURAL TREATMENT FOR AN OILY HAIR


Greasy hair product mainly are super sebaceous glands producing these means that the glands secrete more oil than normal and the hair tends to be oily .

There are measures and remedies to prevent our hair look greasy and dirty appearance .





First we must be especially careful when applying products in the face like sunscreens , makeup, facial cleansers and any product that is applied to the skin , as these if they get out of line will contact facial hair and help produce more fat in the scalp.


You should not use hair products such as styling creams , oil droplets to control frizz , gels, and take special care to use products for dry hair , this would lead us to make a serious mistake .


Using conditioners and masks should be in small quantities and never apply it to the root, only half to the ends or in the ends and make sure to rinse properly to remove all residue.


Avoid deep hydration masks , only use them on the ends and rinse well .


Combing your hair every day and often is very important for your health and the capillary circulation , but in the case of oily hair , should be minimal frequent use brush or excessive brushing because each time we do we will be extending the fat
scalp hair to rest .


Avoid hairstyles that make you touch the mane often the hand contact with your hair is not advisable , each time you do you'll be incorporating fat from your hands to your hair.


When you wash your hair and you apply the shampoo , do it with warm water to remove all impurities, but at the end while you clarify conditioner , rinse with cold water , will be very beneficial to seal the hair cuticle , prevent possible frizz  and production
excessive fat. Hot water produces sebum.


Use shampoo with a neutral pH and will not alter the natural balance of your hair , wash twice for a deeper clean .


Away the dryer to the scalp, could produce fat faster and cause hair loss.


Natural Remedies to avoid fat .


Dilute lemon juice in two cups of water, once you wash your hair and towel dry , spray and let dry root , thist reatment can clarify your hair.You can also add two lemons to a gallon of water and do a final rinse your hair after shampooing , not only help control oil but it will leave you smooth and shiny .

Castor oil for eyebrows and eyelashes

 


Castor oil has many properties, is rich in vitamins and minerals and is widely used in the manufacture of beauty.
It is used to strengthen eyebrows and eyelashes , it is recommended to apply it at night and 2 or 3 times a week.






The Castor Oil to be an organic oil is very healthy for use on the skin.

When we finished we use mascara , the brush it will wash well and remove all traces of mask , we can do washing with detergent and then to make sure no residue , we can clean it with olive oil so that it is completely clean and free bacterium
.
Then we get ready brush, will wash well the eyebrows and eyelashes and remove all traces of make-up.

Castor oil  to beautify eyelashes

Apply castor oil , ensuring that no excess oil to drip.
Apply a thin layer of tabs in the same way that you would apply mascara and apply on eyebrows.

Let it set overnight and washed the next morning and remove it before applying makeup.

Castor oil is also used to relieve colitis, remove calluses, joint pain caused by arthritis and reduce dark circles and others.


Color changes

Dye our hair without damaging                                   The first thing to do is to choose well the current color to achieve change without our hair suffers or is damaged .
If you have virgin hair the process will be easier and simpler. If instead we have already dyed , we must take special care to reach
the desired abuse without trace result.




 
For virgin hair just choose fine volume peroxide as this will depend to reach the desired level.
 
Low peroxides use it to deposit into color or just to clear up one or two levels , for that we use     peroxide volume 10 and 20 .

 
If we want to clarify over 2 levels the color, because then we will use peroxide volume 30 to the 4th according to the result we want.



When hair is dyed a dark color and want to take it to the levels of dark blond to light blond , then you have to remove the color Deposited to clarify enough to make it the same color of the new color.


 
It is not recommended to use powder bleach more than once we will be mistreating our hair and making it very porous , and subsequent applications will be difficult to get the dye deposited properly without escaping color with shampoo later . 

 
 
I recommend you remove the old color with few aggressive products ( strippers ) and so gradually achieve the new color without any damage.



 
How to neutralize and achieve the desired colors ?


The primary colors are yellow, red and blue , mix them secondary and tertiary so we fully understand the color wheel as desired to achieve these dyes are derived.

If  we apply Color when hair is golden blonde and we did not expect this result, because we just have to neutralize the gold ( yellow pigment predominates ) with a dye , toner or purple matting , as shown in the color wheel .

 
If on the contrary in the hair is too ashy , ( predominantly green or blue base ) and want a more natural color and get rid of those ashy colors, shades , toner or dye will be suitable and copper or reddish orange ( see wheel colors)

 
To remove the color and achieve the desired result , we only need to refine or neutralize with the opposite color on the color wheel , for example.


 
Red neutralizes the green and vice versa , the gold ( yellow) neutralizes the purple and vice versa , orange or copper neutralizes the blue and vice versa and so on , understanding well the color wheel , it's easy being satisfied with the color dream
