]]>Hair Growth and Thickness
Castor oil is renowned for its ability to stimulate hair growth and enhance hair thickness. Its high ricinoleic acid content improves blood circulation to the scalp, nourishing hair follicles and promoting healthy growth. To use, simply massage a small amount of castor oil into your scalp and leave it on for a few hours or overnight. Wash it out thoroughly for lustrous locks.
Conditioning and Shine
For silky, soft, and shiny hair, consider using castor oil as a deep conditioner. Mix it with a lighter oil like coconut or olive oil and apply it to your hair. Leave it on for about 30 minutes before shampooing. This natural treatment can help tame frizz, add moisture, and boost shine.
Skin Moisturizer
Castor oil isn’t just for hair—it’s a wonderful moisturizer for your skin too. Rich in fatty acids, it penetrates deep into the skin, hydrating and softening even the driest areas. Apply a few drops to your face, body, or hands, and massage it in gently for a nourishing experience.
Scar Reduction
For those dealing with scars or stretch marks, castor oil can be a game-changer. Regular massage with castor oil can help fade scars and improve skin texture over time.
Nail and Cuticle Care
Healthy nails and cuticles complete a polished look. Rub a small amount of castor oil into your nails and cuticles daily to promote nail growth and prevent breakage.
Natural Makeup Remover
Castor oil is gentle yet effective at removing makeup, even stubborn waterproof mascara. Apply a small amount to a cotton pad and gently wipe away makeup. Rinse with warm water, and you’re makeup-free.

]]>Use Natural Products
Choose products that are free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, and other harsh ingredients. Natural ingredients like shea butter, olive oil, jojoba oil, and aloe vera will nourish your curls and help reduce build-up.
Less is More
With so many curl-approved products out there, it can be tempting to fill your basket and start slathering them on! For the sake of your hair (and your wallet), start with a simple routine. Get to know your hair type and choose a sulfate-free shampoo or ‘low-poo’, a conditioner, and a gel or mousse. That’s all you need to begin your curly journey!
(@thecurlcollectiveza)Don’t Over Wash
Curly hair is prone to getting dry and frizzy. Your scalp produces natural oils that will keep your hair healthy and glossy so don’t keep washing them away. Wash 1-2 times per week, and protect your curls at night with a bonnet to keep them looking fresh in between!
Have Fun!
Getting to know your curls shouldn’t be a trial! You’ll have bad wash days and good wash days and that’s okay. You can always shove it up in a bun and try again tomorrow. Find some entertaining curly influencers to follow, experiment with different looks and styling techniques, and most importantly, don’t stress. Keep calm AND curly!

]]>Get It Cut
If you’re growing your hair, you won’t want to hear this, but it’s impossible to avoid. The truth is, if your hair is split at the ends, dry, and damaged, it won’t grow quickly or steadily in this state. Damage can travel up the hair, from the tip to the root, so that it can start to feel like despite months of hard work, your hair is hardly growing at all. Go to the hair salon and explain that you’re growing it – your stylist will take an inch or two off the bottom, leaving your strands feeling refreshed and healthy.
Make A Mask
Store bought hair masks often contain silicones and sulfates, which may make your hair feel glossy, but in fact offer little in terms of genuine hair health. Make your own mask, by whisking the whites of two eggs into half a cup of melted coconut oil. Add one tablespoon of honey, and one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, blend these ingredients into the mix. Apply to damp hair, leave for as long as possible, and then rinse.
Wrap Your Hair
If you’re applying a mask or conditioner, increase the potency by wrapping your coated hair in plastic, such as clingfilm. Doing this means that the heat from your scalp activates the ingredients in the mask, allowing them to penetrate deeper into each hair. Wrapping also lets you go about your chores and daily activities, without dripping conditioner all over your house.

]]>Hair Oil for Your Scalp
Invest in a good hot oil massage with nourishing hair oils like coconut and olive oils. The oils will penetrate the hair shaft and keep the hair moisturized and massaging the scalp will improve blood circulation and stimulate hair growth.
Avoid Heat Styling Tools
As the weather cools down you will have to start drying your hair with a blow dryer more often, which does dry out the follicles. Try to avoid the straightening and curling tongs as much as you can or make sure to use protective sprays. You can also braid your wet hair in the evening and it will be dry with texture in the morning.
Cover Your Hair
In order to avoid the cold and wet damaging your hair more, start covering your hair with a scarf or hat when you are outside. Silk or satin are your best options to stop static and flyaways.
Regular Trims
The cold and dry air in the winter causes more split ends and breakage so make time to have regular trims to keep your ends fresh and even.

]]>The post Say Bye to Hard Water Build-Up and Hello to Healthier Hair! appeared first on My Daily Magazine - Art, Design, DIY, Fashion and Beauty !.
]]>Believe it or not, not all water is made equally. It may feel that way when opening the faucet, but “hard water build-up” could be the reason that your scalp seems like Flake City. Here are some tips to banish the build-up.
Beneficial Filters
Hard water is caused by an excessive amount of calcium and magnesium being present in the liquid. While this can aid in receiving your daily nutrient intake, it’s not so great for your hair. The easiest way to prevent this is to install a filter that will remove these minerals and turn your water from hard to soft.
In Search of Clarity
Water filters are the first choice, but they’re not always an option, particularly if traveling. A good clarifying shampoo is something you can throw in your bag. There are several shampoos on the market designed specifically to clear water build-up, but be careful if you have colored hair as the mineral strippers can be harsh.
Rinse to the Rescue
Hard water messes with the pH balance of your hair, but this can be corrected through acidity. A popular DIY remedy is to make a rinse using apple cider vinegar. Combine one part vinegar to five parts water and place it in a spray bottle. Spray your scalp and work the formula into your ends, leaving it to sit for five minutes before rinsing.

]]>Don’t Overwash
Too much of a good thing can be harmful. Overwashing can deprive your hair of its natural protective oils.
Ditch Hot Tools
Hot hair dryers, curling wands, and straightening tools are all culprits of damaged or thin hair. High heat styling tools essentially strip away the outside cuticle layer of the hair or burn it. Keeping hot tools use to a minimum goes a long way.
Give Your Scalp Some Attention
When it comes to thicker hair, it’s not just your locks that need care. The scalp is rich in bacteria and fungus that keep the skin – and the hair it grows- healthy. Massaging your scalp for just four minutes a day has been shown to increase hair thickness. Even better, add some peppermint oil into the mix.
Skip Sulfate Shampoo
Sulfates are strong cleansers that give shampoos their sudsy quality. The problem is that sulfates create an illusion of volume in the short term, but they can irritate the skin and cause inflammation over time. These factors lead to increased shedding and breakage.
Brush Brush Brush
Regular and deliberate brushing can affect your hair’s thickness because it helps distribute the natural oils, which protect it from damage and add shine.

]]>Hydrate Your Hair
It’s only logical that our hair tends to be more dry and brittle during hot summer days, which means that keeping it hydrated should be your focus. Try to deep condition once a week and switch your shampoo and conditioner for rich and moisturizing formulas that are suitable for dry hair.
EVANS (@summerevansstudio)Wear a Hat
Exposing hair to direct sunlight is also one of the ways our hair can get damaged during summer, and that’s why wearing a hat can really make a difference. In case you don’t like hats, wearing scarves or hairbands is also a nice way to protect your hair and look stylish.
Avoid Hot Tools
This is pretty obvious, but we have to stress that using heat styling tools during summer can cause further damage to your hair. Summer is the perfect time to embrace a natural look and give your hair a break from curling irons, hair straighteners, and other tools.
