5 HACKS FOR OILY HAIR

Hello! everyone, today I am going to share 5 hacks for all you ladies with an oily scalp. These are some things that I have

tried and tested and will work wonderfully if you wish to get rid of that grease from your mane.

1. Dry Shampoo is your BFF.

If you have oily hair, then you NEED dry shampoo. On second day or third-day hair, just spray some dry shampoo on the roots by lifting your hair up in sections. Then rub your hair for 2 minutes so that it soaks up all the gunk, and you're sorted. It adds a lot of volume to your hair and keeps you from washing your hair too often. I am actually inseparable from my BBLUNT Back to Life Dry Shampoo. It's one of my holy grail products and I highly recommend it. It comes in two sizes, the smaller one is perfect for travelling with.

How To Use the BBLUNT Back to Life Dry Shampoo:

Shake the dry shampoo bottle well before you use it.

Lift a thin section of your hair from either side of your head and the crown section. Then spray the dry shampoo generously onto your scalp.

Rub the dry shampoo into your scalp by massaging it in using your fingers for at least two minutes.

And that's it, you'll notice a HUGE difference in your hair. It will look instantly lifted, and less greasy. Can you tell that this is my third-day hair?

2. Use a Volumising Shampoo & Conditioner.

If you have very oily hair, your hair might look very limp and lifeless. Using a volumising shampoo like the BBLUNT Full On Volume Shampoo and Conditioner helps in not only removing the excess oil but also adding volume and body to your hair. If you use a very nourishing/conditioning shampoo, it will leave your hair feeling heavier, and dull.

3. Don't apply conditioner on your scalp.

Apply conditioner only on the lower third of your hair and avoid applying it on your scalp. Whenever you're washing your hair, just shampoo the scalp and then rinse it out, followed by conditioner for 2-3 minutes just on the tips. If you apply conditioner on your scalp, it will make it oily and irritated. So avoid doing this every time you wash your hair.

4. Don't over wash your hair.

Over washing your hair, i.e. washing it too frequently can actually make your scalp oilier. The more you strip it of its natural oil, the more oil it will produce to compensate. It might be difficult to change this habit at first, but try and increase the gap one day at a time.

The best gap is from 3-4 days. Once you've trained your hair, you'll truly see a difference.

5. Stop using hot water to wash your hair.

Washing your hair using hot water makes your scalp really dry, which in turn makes your scalp produce more oil to compensate that, so avoid doing that as much as possible. Always rinse your hair with lukewarm or cold water. This also makes your hair look shinier.

These were my top 5 hacks for oily hair. These are things you can easily incorporate into your life, even with a busy schedule. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

5 things you are not doing right to your hair!

We usually love experimenting with our hair, then may it be in terms of color or literally chopping it off 8-9 inches short. And why not? Changing your hair can totally transform your look and, plus makes you feel confident and new. Now, I know experimenting is fun, but you can agree with me here – this experiment can make or break your hair game. You must have come across girls who experiment a lot with their hair by harsh coloring, bleaching and using various hair styling tools, but still have pretty good hair. Whereas, you having totally Virgin hair are not happy with it as it doesn’t look that good and appealing (Dry, Freeze and week). Now, you might think that the hair they have is God gifted or the situation can be totally reverse. Whatever it is, let me tell you – you can also have beautiful hair like them if you follow a proper routine and avoid some mistakes.

1. The Basic!

You already know the basic – shampoo and condition. But then, there is more to that. Firstly, do you just enter into the shower and wash your hair? If yes, this is what you need to stop doing. It is important to apply hair oil or hair mask before you wash your hair. This will help your hair get a little stronger and nourished then earlier. Besides, what kind of shampoo you use also can affect you hair. Make sure you pick the right one.

2. Conditioner

I have heard from many girls that they only condition their hair when they want to attend an event or have something special to do. And my only reaction to this is WHAT? Applying conditioner is equally important as shampooing your hair. Where the shampoo is what that only treats your scalp; the conditioner does a great job with the ends and mid ends.

3. Towel Dry

Yes! You might have heard this before. But again a quick reminder – do not use your normal shower towel to dry you hair, instead get an old cotton t-shirt or invest in some microfiber towel. This won’t make your hair freeze or lead to breakage. Even if you are already applying this tip try to only pat dry your hair, as wet hair is delicate and may tend to break.

4. Brushing your hair

You have heard this multiple times now – Don’t use a comb on wet hair. But you really can’t help it when your hair is a tangled mess. Instead go for a tangle- teezer, it will really help you get the knots out without any hair breakage. Besides, you also need to start detangling your hair from bottom and then move upwards.

5. Washing your hair too often

I known the oily scalp is a pretty annoying one, but washing your hair daily is not the solution. In fact the more you wash it the more oil your scalp will produce. Instead use a dry shampoo and try washing your hair ones or twice a week.

That’s it girls! A great hair day is not hard to get. You can avoid doing some things and use some good products and hair mask to achieve that fab looking hair. You can also use a good serum to keep your hair in place and make it look shiny.

Comfort zone

Firstly I’m very apologetic for being missing for ages now! But henceforth I promise to be regular.

I always look for comfort in my clothes like most of you. A casual pair of t-shirt, denim and flip-flop is my go-to outfit. Not much of a styling required right? Since winter is coming, mornings are going to be lazy and running late is going to be a routine. Now, during such lazy Monday mornings, I would hate dressing up! Yay! Wait before judging me – I owe an explanation for this: (a) it’s going to be super late and (b) I’m lazy. If you are a lazy person like me, you totally can feel me here – we are always ready to travel the world in PAJAMA’s.

I’m a fan of mom and loose fitted jeans these days, they are absolutely comfy, and you don’t have to struggle with fitting in, unlike the skinny ones. You can run around, sit comfortably and yes, even walk a hundred miles without being sleazy. These Levis jeans are really my go-to pair, as the washed look corporate with any outfit. I like to fold the bottom a bit, as they look a little messy but effort taken.

Maroon lately has become my favorite color or rather an obsession. If you follow me on my social media, you know my obsession for maroon or blood red nail paints. However, this infatuation of mine has moved to t-shirts and shirts. Now, I always wanted to own an over-sized t-shirt but never found a pleasing one. This rather was quite affordable and the perfect fit for me. I found it in the men’s section when I was picking an outfit for my brother.

I tried this t-shirt in two ways. Since I love tucking my t-shirts, I stuck with it not poking my comfort zone. Nevertheless, as a little contradicting person I am, I wanted to do the knot thing too. The t-shirt knot is quite popular these days and a much seen on Instagram, and so I managed my way doing it (It was a real struggle though tying the knot). Since winter is around the corner, layering is going to be a must. So I thought of adding on a white shirt over my outfit – to keep myself cozy.

Coming to footwear, you must have expected a pair of boots or sneakers, but since I was looking for comfort – I found my way to these flip-flops. I got mine from Westside. They are grey and white and complements any outfit. I also threw on a cap for a little styling.

Street style has always been my comfort zone as it does compliment my laziness and also looks a quite stylish. I would always like to upload content which you all can try and experiment with. Hope I justified your expectation with this comeback. You can always feel free to write me down your suggestions and also what you would like me to try.

Love,

Here comes the summer

Now summers are not really as fun as they look in pictures. Though you decide to dress like a Pinterest model or want that perfect Instagram look, summer manages to perfectly ruin it. Summers can only be fun at the beach when you have a cold beer in hand or a glass of lemonade.
I really thought, this summer I’m going to rock my look. But it's summer and summers in Bombay can literally melt you. And this is exactly what happened! I had to compromise with my outfit and my makeup. Also, summers mean tan and tan gives you uneven skin tone (obvious). I am sure everyone goes through those annoying tan lines especially having them over your hands and legs.
Summers can be fun if you are on a vacation but not when you have a long day at work. The heat might melt you. Summer heat can also dehydrate you. Especially if you are residing at Mumbai, traveling might really drain you out. Summer is just not about heat, sweat, and tiredness. But it’s also about your skin and hair.

Climate during summer holds a bit humidity which can make your hair dry or sometimes too sticky. This makes your scalp produce oilier and ends up looking greasier. Which can get pretty annoying when you want to look picture perfect. And to avoid this you might wash your hair daily. But washing your hair on daily bases makes it dry and freeze despites this washing your hair daily is also not good for your hair.
During summers your hair is not the only one which gets affected but your skin too suffers. Having an oily skin in summers is common. Oily skin might also sometimes result giving you pimples or acne. Which can really be a nightmare? You might think that I’m nagging about the summers…..But I’m not, I’m just introducing you to the reality.

But despite all this, we still can make our summers a little happening if we keep some things in mind. So let’s dive in:
1.    Drink plenty of water. This is an age old tip which you should not skip. At least try drinking 2-3 liters of water a day.
2.    Include fruits which contain water in your diet. Having watermelon, cucumber and citric fruits will not only make your skin glow but also will make you feel fresh. As this helps flush all your toxins out.
3.    Don’t forget your sunscreen. It’s an essential thing in summers. If you don’t want the sun to ruin your skin as well as want your skin to escape tan then sunscreen is the must.
4.    Try exfoliating your face as well as your body twice a week. This will help you to get rid of all skin buildup and sweet off. Also, your skin pores will be deep cleaned.
5.     Apply ice to your skin or try washing your face with cold water as this will keep your pores closes.
6.    Aloe-vera gel can smoothen your skin and hair. Apply aloe vera gel as a leave-in conditioner and you will definitely feel a difference, your hair ends will feel less dry. Whereas your skin will feel more calm and relaxed.
7.     Try wearing what comforts you. Avoid wearing too tight clothes as this can be uncomforting in summers. Wearing loose tees can be an option as they are in trend also you can opt for boyfriend jeans as they are much comfortable.
8.    If your make-up is melting try using a setting spray as it will help you set your makeup. Spraying some rose water with a little bit of aloe vera gel can also work well in setting your makeup.
9.    Sunglasses are must these summers. As they comfort your eyes and save them from direct sunlight. Also, they will make you look cool and get that slay look.

These are some tips wherein you can save yourself from summers.
