The secret to Long and Healthy Hair

I own a selection of hair oils, both for use pre-wash and post, but ever since I made the mistake of bleeching my hair, I make a special effort to oil it before washing.

I remember my Mother used to oil my hair as a child, I guess I stopped using it becuase of the smell, a lot of Pakistani women still oil their hair which explains why a lot of asian women have very strong and healthy looking hair.

I have used a variety of different oils including Amla oil, Jasmine oil and Coconut oil, I never seemed to notice that much difference.

A friend of mine has very soft, thick and naturally shiny hair, she told me her secret: mixing together various different oils and applying to the hair as one.

She gave me a sample to use and I instantly noticed the difference, my hair was very soft and shiny growing a lot quicker and generally healthier.

I went to my local Pak's shop, for those who don't know Pak's is the equivalant of a drugstore that sells a whole heap of hair products, wigs, oils, hair treatments, contact lenses, hair accessories, nail polish and the list goes on. 

I picked up the following oils:

1) Olive
2) Castor
3) Sesame
4) Coconut
5) Amla


I got an empty water bottle and mixed them all together, naturally the oils sit differently, so after mixing them all together I gave the bottle a proper shake so that they all blend in with one another.



I apply this to my hair twice a week before washing, I tend to leave it on for a few hours. Note: Don't forget to shake the bottle before use!!

I hope this works just as well for you ladies, as it does for me. 

Lot's of Love

Until next time....
