DIY: SHAMPOO FROM HIBISCUS LEAVES


Hello my fellow readers!  How are y’all doing? Today, I’m gonna be sharing with you one of my most favorite “hair mask” which I’ve tried and have been benefited from it. I’m just not saying it for the sake of my “blog”, but every single post of mine are totally from my experience. If it doesn’t work for me, I’m not going to post here saying that it works wonders! Nahh! No way! 

Alright! Let’s get in to the topic! Treating our hair is important, coz it’s not fair to take good care of our skin alone when our hair is unhealthy and damaged. Let’s show some love to them too! Mind that without proper care you will never have smooth, silky, and dandruff free hair. Make sure, you oil your hair well enough to guarantee its good looks. But that’s a whole different topic. I’m gonna stop it right here, let’s get into the pictorial! :P 


What do we need?
  • Fresh hibiscus leaves
  • Water




How to do?
  1. Throw all the hibiscus leaves into the blender, add some water and blend it finely. Make sure it has the consistency of a paste.
  2. Now, divide your hair into 4 section and apply the hair mask on all the sections from the root till the end of your hair. Apply it on the scalp too!
  3. Leave the hair mask on your hair for about an hour.
  4. Rinse off thoroughly to prevent bits of leaves and flowers from getting stuck on the hair. 


What it does?
  • Hibiscus leaves contains highest amount of Vitamin E, which stimulate blood circulation to the scalp & speed up the hair growth process 
  • Effective age-old natural remedy to control hair fall
  • Prevents pre-mature greying 
  • Hair becomes more healthier, lustrous and shinier than before
  • Great moisturizer! It moisturize the hair and help revive the lost shine


Experience:

First of all, the reason why it is called “shampoo” is because the leaves release a liquid kind of foam once you grind it. It’s kinda gross because the foam is very slippery and gooey, smells like a leaf! Obviously! Huhuh..

What’s so special about this hair mask/shampoo is, you don’t need to buy anything, there’s no complicating ingredients, shows instant result and it’s all 100% natural! :D I use this once a month, you can apply it every week, no problem! Well, to be honest, it’s been a while since I used it. No particular reason, just lazy! I just realized how much I need this shampoo in my life! *heart eyes emoji*

This natural shampoo, gives amazing result instantly. You will see the changes right after you washed the hair. My hair feels so freaking soft and shiny! Give it a try, and let me know how it worked for you.

____________________________________________________________________________


FACE

To begin this look, I corrected my dark spots with an orange corrector and applied foundation all over my face evenly with a flat top kabuki brush. Then I applied powder, over the foundation.


EYES

I’ve already done my brows (saved time, YAAAAZZ!), Click on my brow routine to know how I do them.  After applying the eye primer, I brushed over a little bit of powder (easy to blend eye shadow on crease).


Then I applied a beige colored eye shadow on my lid in patting motion and applied the same shade on my brow bone.



I dipped my brush in a coffee-ish brown color eye shadow and blend that into my crease as a transition color.


Then I add a little bit darker brown on the outer V of my eyes and on my lower lash line as well.


Then I drew a small wing and stopped it at the center of my lid, I did not go any further as you can see in that picture below.


I took my mascara and layered it all over my lashes and not forgetting the lower lashes.


And to give a fuller effect, I add fake lashes, and this is completely optional, you can skip it if u do not want to.



I lined my waterline with a white eyeliner, to make my eyes appear bigger.




HIGHLIGHT & CONTOUR 

Once I’m done with the eye makeup, I applied some concealer under my eyes, which is 2-3 shades lighter than my skin tone & blend it well. This is to create that highlighted look.


Then I slightly contoured my cheekbones, nose, jawline and forehead, just to define them. I did not applied too much of it, because I just want to make it simple and natural.


Then I applied some blush on my cheeks very lightly.



LIPS

For my lips, I lined it with a plum shade lip liner and applied a brownish nude lipstick all over it. To create the 3D effect, I darken the edges of my lips with the same lip liner. 


To set the makeup, I sprayed NYX setting spray all over my face. It helps the makeup to stay in place and last longer throughout the day.


FINISH LOOK! 


That’s all! Don’t you think it’s easy?
