                 Hi Ladies, Kirti a reader of my blog is not able to use egg for some reason. So she has requested me to give her a few beauty recipes for her hair and skin. So it is for Kirti and other readers like her that I have come up with these egg free hair and skin care recipes.

I cannot use eggs so is there any other good option for me? Can u just a suitable alternate which helps me get rid of spots n freckles as well. Looking forward for a suitable n lovely response. Take Care.

Fading spot and freckles-Though kirti didn't let me know her skin type..assuming that she has dry skin taking into consideration her hair type, a nourishing pack is what she needs. Take 5-6 almonds and soak in a little milk overnight. Next morning grind to a paste the almonds with the milk and add a little thick milk cream. Apply on your face and neck, leave it on for 20-30 mins and gently scrub off. Wash off and pat dry. Repeat thrice a week for good results. This treatment nourishes the skin, softens it and gradually fades out the spots and freckles.

Caring for rough and dry hair- 

Oiling:- Oil your hair atleast twice a week with brahmi amla hair oil. Wrap a hot towel around your head much like a turban, repeat 2-3 times.
 
Nourishing Hair Pack- Taking into consideration the length of your hair take 2/3 bananas and mash them well. Add 1/2 tbsp of thick milk cream and mix well. Apply this pack on moist hair and keep on for 30-40 mins. Wash off with plain water and then shampoo off, use a mild herbal shampoo or make 1 at home.

Homemade Shampoo:- Soak a handful of soapnut in hot water overnight, next morning mash them, sieve and use the resultant liquid to shampoo off your hair. Its a non lathering shampoo- remember it and be very gentle with your hair.

               Please help Kirti with more eggless recipes for the specified problems. Thanks

            



















           Hair care is so very important because without beautiful tresses to frame our faces our beauty will be incomplete. As you all know hair can be divided into 4 types, namely dry, oily, normal and combination.


Dry hair needs extra attention and extra care. Your hair becomes dry due to many factors, lack of care, pollution, ailment, using too much hair dryer, to name a few.


Dry hair often gets split ends and roughness. A massage with warm oil is the first step to caring for it. Remember not to go outdoors with oil on your hairs, you may acquire a reddish dirty look to it.


1. A homemade oil recipe for dry and rough hair- 


* 1 cup each of olive oil, sesame oil, castor oil and coconut oil mixed together.

* Store in a bottle or can. 

* Just before using add a few fresh mint leaves and basil to the oil, warm it a little and apply onto roots and ends and also the length of your hairs. 

* Massage gently for 5 mins and steam your hair with a hot towel.

* Repeat steaming with towel for 15/20 mins and let the oil sit on your scalp for a few minutes.

* This will result in good blood circulation, repeat this entire process 2/3 times a week.

* If done regularly the results will be amazing.


2. Shampoo your hair thereafter, use a mild herbal shampoo. Try not to use detergent based shampoos as those can be dry out your hair.Use a suitable conditioner specially on the ends and length of your hair. Towel dry and avoid hair dryers whenever possible.

             

















3. A hair pack to soften and nourish your hairs- take the yolk of an egg, 2tsp each of coconut and olive oils and 1 tbsp of curd, mix well and apply on your hair for an hour. Wash off with soap-nut or a mild herbal shampoo. After shampooing rinse your hair with a solution of tea water and add 2 tsp of white vinegar. Leave it on for a few minutes and rinse your hair with clean water. Hair will become very soft and manageable after this treatment.

4. Use a wide toothed comb and use a detangler regularly, eat lots of green veggies and fresh fruits. 

5. Meditate if possible. Also a regular exercise regime can help with your hair, take an additional multivitamin capsule, after consulting your doctor. 

6. Also cod-liver oil capsules are said to help in conditions of dry hair but consult your doctor.

7. Last but not the least, be happy and stay calm....... its good for beauty.
