Amla Oil - Hair and Scalp Therapy




The oil is taken from the Indian gooseberry which is a tree native to India.  It offers special proponents and fatty acids that strengthens the hair, moisturizes and stimulates the scalp, elevators grays and dry strands, and encourages hair growth. 
 
This is the only brand I've used, Dabur Amla shown below.  It does wonders for my coils.  My scalp can dry out easily, but this does the job, by simply doing a treatment once to twice monthly.  You can however use it more often, depending on your hair needs.

My preference is to saturate my hair with the oil and apply a plastic cap for two to three hours.  I then follow the oil treatment up with a natural shampoo cleansing and deep conditioner.  This will assist with maintaining a healthy shine, as well as prevent breakage to my fragile ends.

Here's a simple outline from Longing4length.com that lists the expected results from Alma:





Consider trying the Amla oil, and see if you notice the same positive results.  Keep in mind that this oil is safe for all ages and all hair types.  The only thing I'd suggest is to keep in mind is that the oil is very thick and greasy, so it can be heavy if you have thin or fine hair.  Therefore, you would need to reduce the amount of oil you use, and possibly the length of time that you do the oil treatment.  I have thicker and dryer hair, so a good saturation of Amla does my hair and scalp a huge favor! 

Also, see link  below that shares tidbits on other uses and pros of the Amla oil.

Kelp Powder - Mineral Hair Treatment

View my sea kelp natural hair treatment I tried over the weekend.  It is a simple process that offers great results- shine and additional minerals that are great for the hair.  My concoction included kelp powder, aloe vera juice, and oils.  I decided to use coconut and red palm oil in my mixture, but feel free to use whatever oils work well with your hair- almond, apricot, etc.  Leave the mixture on for 2 to 4 hours.  It's easy to wash out, and the smell is minimal.  The first pic of my hair shows my texture prior to the treatment.  View the sheen and length after treatment.  This is a completely natural home remedy.  Care to learn more about kelp and how it supports hair growth, and the overall body-depending on how you use it.   Check out the link from Herb Wisdom for additional info.   http://www.herbwisdom.com/herb-kelp.html

Me, Myself, and I

Life can be so fast paced, non-stop at times. There are days when I say, 'I'd like to get off this ride and take a break!'  And I will slow down if at all possible, meaning saying no to someone, I can't help, I can't go.  Sometimes it's just necessary for me to check in with myself and realize when too much is too much.  Just two weeks ago, I was laid out on a beach, on an island, alone. No children, no husband, not even a girlfriend.  Just me, my music, and a good book.  It's rare that I get time alone, but I believe it's highly necessary.  I've gotten a few raised eyebrows because I have taken several trips without my children, a few outside of the country.  I don't feel guilty one bit.  I'm certainly not a perfect mother, but I know that quality time is important in my household, along with family fun, activities, and traveling.  Although challenging, stealing alone time really needs to be made a priority.  This time can attribute t...

Pink Himilayan Salt Lamp

Here's another alternative to sleep meds, and a simple (reasonably priced) remedy for a host of conditions you may be suffering from.   The simplicity of the Himalayan pink salt lamps is what makes this product so awesome.  Yes, all it requires you to do is to plug it up.  That's it!  So it's a winner, no-brainer, why-not?, purchase.   Read more on how this lamp can fix your problems below. So, I've loved mine from day one.  My lamp sits on a nightstand next to the bed.  I close the bedroom and closet doors, with the goal of absorbing as much of the benefits as possible.  One concern you may have with your lamp is the lighting, if you have trouble sleeping in a less-than pitch dark room.  And if so, just use it during the day while you are awake.  The lamp can remove all sorts of 'bad stuff' from the air you breath in your home;  in-door air pollutants, pollen, dust, chemical...
