Ok. I don't know if you ever had hair problem. But you probably did, like most of the ppl, i guess.

Usually ppl who have straight hair want to have curly hair and the other way around.
At some point in life (at least) women want to have long hair.
Most of the ppl with straight hair have a problem of greasy hair and would traid with curly-haired to have a  dry hair, and those who have dry hair would love to have a bit more greasier hair.

I've had hair problems since i can remember ... So here are a few things that help me maintain my hair all shiny and nice without any artificial hair products (of course i wash my hair with mild shampoo's and every now and then i use LUSH balzams, so don't think these alone help feel your scalp all fresh and wonderfull). I know some of you may have a hard time with your hair and i think nobody deserves to suffer from scalp and hair problems, so i'm posting you 4 things that help

So, my hairdresser has reccommended me to buy this product for my hair tips, which is quite ok, but it's not as good as BEER. Yes, you've heard it right-beer is one of the best product i've ever used for my hair! Every 2nd washing i do i put beer on my hair. I've heard of this method from my friend from Montenegro. She told me her grandmother does this and she does it and it's the best way to have a good rooted hair. At first i thought it was funny and that i would smell like a drunk person after putting beer on my hair, but it's not like that at all (maybe if you'd put like a barrel of it on your head-but nothing's good in to many quantity-it's all about quality, remember this! :)). Ok, so I tried this beer theory out of curiosity and out of fun and after doing it my tips of hair became stronger and shaped more nicely. Ever since i've decided to practice this method. I'm using it for two years now and I couldn't be happier with my hair. They're really curly and strong now and shine nicely. After i put it on my hair, my hair doesn't smell like beer at all (maybe when the hair is still wet, but then it's dried it smells like hair smell usually ...). So, what you'll have to do is:
1. wash your hair, dry it with your towel
2. take a glass of beer
3. drink a sip of it (or more if you like)-of course you can skip this part, especially if you don't like drinking beer or if you're under age
4. put some beer in to your palm and squeeze it at the tip of your hair up (like you'd normally do with your serum for hair), squeeze it for some time, then drop it
5. repeat no.4 as long as you don't cover all of your hair
6. at the end i usually pour the rest of the beer onto my hair and sqeeze it a little more then dry it with the towel (the towel will smell, so you'd want to wash it afterwards)
My friend likes to dry her hair at the end with an electric hair dryer and when she's done she repeats the beer routine to freshen them up (but just a little), but i prefer to leave them dry themselves. So i usually do this routine before i go to sleep or when i don't have to leave the house. That way i don't have any problems with my split ends and my hairdresser usually compliments how nice and healthy my hair is.
Since i've mentioned hair drying ... If you have a chance don't dry it with a hair dryer, but do it "on the air", to leave them dry themselves. Unless you're in hurry. But in other case, take your time and it'll pay of! :)
Oh, and another thing-it's funny to do it, because every time i need beer i go to our male section and ask them for beer and every time they make fun of it. Like the other day i was preparing for and evening concert so i've washed my hair in the morning and one of them came in, saw me with a beer in a bathroom and said: "Oh, you drunk! You've started really early today. You must have been really thursty then!" and then he went and told everybody else that i'm having a beer at this time of day :) Well-the concert in the evening was a big success!

One of the things I usually do (maybe it won't help you, but it helps me) is to finish your washing with cold water. I feel like my hair gets stronger then. Like if you feel cold one of the way to warm up is to swap from hot to cold water-it's good for your blood circulation.

Usually when i got sick of my curly hair i straighten them with hair straightener. I noticed that after that-when i wash them, my hair gets more curlyer. But don't do that too ofter. I do iron once a year, and that's enough, since ironing damages loads of your hair.

Ok, another thing that helps my scalp is Cammomile water or Henna (the natural colour). After you're done with your washing just simply pour a cammomile tea (you've prepared before and is now cold or at least not boiled!) over your scalp. Alternative for this is if you mix OLIVE OIL+HONEY+LIME and put it on your scalp (i do this like once a year, maybe twice, not more, whilst you could do the CAMMOMILE method more often). Another alternative i like to do is HENNA colour (look at the link i've posted). I do this once/twice every year. After i do that my scalp feels soooooo much lighter. I usually live it on my scalp at least 3 hours. Make sure you buy the one which has the most natural ingredients in it. But you must note, that if you use henna your hair will get coloured (usually red/orange, but there are other colours available as well), so if you want to keep your hair your colour, don't do that :)


My friend gave me a scalp massager for my birthday once. They say it's very good for your scalp, some say it even prevents your hair to grow or not fall of that much. Well I don't know about that since i've got no problem with that, but if nothing else after you use it-it stimulates your scalp and you feel really good (like you do after every other massage) only you can this by yourself. You can read more about it here.


So, those are a few things that help my scalp and my hair. Some of them you may like, some of them maybe not. Try what is good for you and it helps you-USE IT! You must note that every person has it's own scalp and its own type of hair, so if this helps me it doesn't mean it'll help you (but for beer thing, i guarantee that it will help you no matter what!) and that it's not good to do this things every single time you wash your hair!! Ok? So don't exaggerate. Try to find what's best for you and do that! :)
 

(wow, didn't know i was able to write that many words about HAIR. don't think i'm a hair maniac!)

Hope you'll find sth to help you. Wishing all of you guys a splendid day! And here is one pic I made when i was in London. It made me laugh and appreciate my curly hair! :)
