Hope you all are doing fine. I am happy to see a good response for my posts. Yay!! I would appreciate it more if you people comment on my posts apart from sharing them.
Anyways, today I am gonna write about natural hair straighteners. It's almost summer in India and wooooosh!!! It's time for some tender coconut drinks!!! I am 6 months pregnant and I have a special carving for tender coconut water. Tender coconuts are a real bliss in summer next to sweet and juicy mangoes.
Coconut, it's milk, oil and water has many beneficial uses. Today I am gonna show how you can use coconut milk as hair straightener and coconut water as a natural scrub, face wash and face pack.
Mix coconut milk with two drops of lemon and leave it aside in a refriferator for 6 hours. Transfer this to a spray bottle. You will notice a thick foamy layer formed over the surface of coconut milk. You can spray it on your hair thrice a week before you take head bath. Leave it on your hair for at least 20 min before you take head bath. The coconut milk not only acts as a hair starightener but also as a moisturizer. It provides your scalp and hair the much needed moisture and keeps your hair soft and alive. Instead of spraying it to your hair, you can also apply it directly to your scalp and leave it on for 15 min. Steam your hair for 15 min before you take head bath. For those who intend to get straight hair, it is advisable to spray the mixture to your hair since it spreads evenly in this manner.
To use coconut water as a natural skin toner, mix half cup of tender coconut water with besan gram powder. Mix it well and leave it aside for ten min. Apply it as a scrub to your face. Coconut water has anti oxidants which release oxygen to your skin and keeps your skin rejuvenated. Besan gram acts as a scrub by removing the dirt and bacteria from your face.
To reduce acne and black marks, mix two table spoons of turmeric and one fourth cup of coconut water. Leave it aside for one night. The next day, add some red sandal wood powder to the paste and leave it aside for half hour. Apply this paste on your acne affected areas of the face.
To keep your skin glowing, add two table spoons of turmeric to one fourth cup of coconut milk and apply to your face. Turmeric removes the bacteria, black heads and dirt from your face while coconut milk acts as a natural moisturizer.
And finally, one great tip to all the pregnant ladies!! Daily intake of tender coconut water increases the amniotic fluid to the baby and develops the baby's immunity. Moreover, coconut water contains much less sugar than other sports drinks and juices. It removes bacteria and aids in easy digestion. Add a small amount of turmeric powder to coconut water. Regular intake of this helps in preventing urinary infections during pregnancy.
