DIY BEAUTY REMEDIES: 3 EFFECTIVE DIY DANDRUFF TREATMENT Hi Beauties, Welcome back to my blog, so today I'll be sharing with you, three different DIY treatments for dandruff and they're quite easy to prepare at home. We all know that dandruff can be very embarrassing and annoying at the same time, with all the flakes that comes with it but not to worry because these treatments can help you get rid of them effectively. Before I continue, please note that dandruff and dry scalp aren't the same thing so this treatment is for dandruff alone. However if you have dry itchy scalp and you'd want me to share a DIY that helps relieve the dryness, please comment below and I'll get to it. Let's get started.... 1. Treat Your Scalp with Neem Leaves aka "Dogon yaro" Neem leaves (a common herb in northern Nigeria) makes a great all-natural home remedy for your dandruff. Their properties not only relieve itching, they act as an antifungal as well, inhibiting the over-growth of dandruff causing fungus. Be aware that some people (including me) find its smell to be overwhelming, but who cares about smell when we have a problem to tackle? I don't! I happen to have a neem tree behind my house so I'm good to go. I don't think it's hard to find though is it? Neem is also great infact a master for acne treatment (i just discovered), so if you want me to share it with you as well, please comment below. For dandruff treatment You will need… -At least 2 handfuls of neem leaves -4-5 cups of hot water Directions Add two handfuls of neem leaves to 4 or 5 cups of hot water. Let it stand overnight. The next morning strain the liquid and use it to rinse your hair. You can also try making a paste out of leaves, applying it to your scalp, and letting it sit for about an hour before washing it off with water. 2. Enjoy the soothing effect of Aloe Aloe Vera gel is a natural healer, it may be used more commonly to help minor burns, it can also help give you relief from dandruff. It works because its constituents inhibit the process of skin cell proliferation. In other words, the stuff that makes it up slows down how fast your cells grow, and since dandruff often is caused by cells growing and dying too rapidly, the aloe can help restore them to normalcy. You will need… -1 bottle of Aloe Vera gel or one big fresh aloe stem, that's if you have the plant at home, I don't so I got this one from forever living products. Directions Apply enough Aloe Vera gel to the scalp 15 minutes prior to washing your hair. After 15 minutes, shampoo and wash it as normal. 3.Tackle it with Lemons Lemons have a tough reputation, but they might be able to shake it-if they help you shake the flakes first. The acidity in pure freshly squeezed lemon juice contains acids that can help break down the fungus that is often the cause of dandruff outbreaks. It’s also free from harsh chemicals and other unnatural ingredients that often do more harm than good to our hair and scalp-plus it leaves you smelling clean and fresh. So remember, the next time life gives you dandruff, give it lemons. You will need… -4 tablespoons and 2 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, divided -1 cup of water Directions Massage 4 tablespoons of lemon juice into your scalp and let it sit for a minute. Mix2 teaspoon of lemon juice into 1 cup of water and rinse your hair with it. Repeat any of these treatments daily or each time you wash your hair until no longer needed. So the next time you get a dandruff don't feel "intimidated" by it, remember you can get rid of it with any of these remedies and remember the earlier you do it the better, so don't wait for it to build up.

How to Rock your red lipstick like a boss (Tips&Tricks) Hi Beauties, Welcome back to my blog, I know it's been a minute I did a post both on my blog and BBM channel #whew I'm working on getting back to posting consistently like I used to on my channel but mostly here this time and hopefully before the new year I would have been able to balance everything I'm doing, so thanks for sticking around and ofcourse stopping by. Although it's fall and red lippie might not necessarily make the list this time and season of the year but you can still rock it regardless. So I'll be sharing with you a few tricks to help you pull it off excellently. You know I gatchu 110%, yeah boo After you’ve selected a red lipstick to rock, you may be wondering: How exactly do you rock it? When it comes to wearing red lipstick it’s best to keep the rest of your makeup simple just like Gabrielle Union Bright eyeshadow and red lips can look a little retro while a dark smoky eyes can look edgy. Although it’s fine to wear red lips with whatever makeup combination you like, these are a few tips and tricks to try if you’re a little bit "makeup shy" #winks it's allowed baby *Ensure your lips are well hydrated and flake-free. *Make sure you’re wearing the right shade of lipstick for your skintone (if you need help finding the right shade of red lipstick for your skin tone, comment below and if I have enough requests I may just do a post for you next tips and tricks monday :) so include your complexion please) *Make sure you even out your skintone with a medium to full coverage foundation, any redness in the skin will clash with red lipstick. *Ditch the blush and opt for some bronzer & contouring instead to avoid your makeup “clashing” and looking like a "Red baby doll". *Avoid extravagant eyeshadow and stick with neutral tones *Make sure your brows are shaped into place, fill them in lightly so that they don't look harsh *Cream and matte finish lipstick formulas are easier to pull off and looks better than super glossy ones. *Winged eyeliner and red lips always look good together *Do the “finger trick” Place your index finger into your mouth and close your mouth around your finger, then gently slide your finger out, this will remove any excess red lipstick that may have ended up on your teeth USE A LIP BRUSH! A lip liner can help define your lips, but isn’t always necessary. For a clean line a lip brush is your best bet. I hope you found these tips helpful. What's your favourite red lippie t?
