How to make dark henna paste: Tips and Tricks

Premature greying of hair is a very very common thing these days. It happens mostly because of our lifestyle, food intake, exposure to sun/pollution or may be hereditary. Whatever might be the reason, the simplest and the natural way to hide our grey hair is by colouring it with henna. This is the most natural, and cheapest way for hair colouring. We can prefer doing henna even when we do not have grey hairs, but we want that brownish ting in our hair or we want to condition our hair.


So here are some tips and tricks which you should follow while making the henna paste:

1. Always make the mixture of henna in an iron bowl to get the darkest brownish black colour;
2. Keep the henna soaked for 10-12 hours before applying;
3. Preferably Mix coffee powder with the henna as it brings out a darker shade and is also good for hair;
4. While making the paste use warm coffee water to make the paste, and keep it in a thicker consistency;
5. After keeping the paste for around 10-12 hours, mix egg white/curd to finish making the paste (this is because henna tends to dry our hair, which then becomes rough and brittle. Adding curd/egg white reduces the effect of dryness and also adds a shine to hair);
6. Do wash your hair with shampoo the day before you want to apply henna;
7. Do not shampoo your hair the day you apply henna, just wash with plain water;
8. Keep the paste for 1-1.5 hours if you want colour and 30-40 minutes if you want to condition your hair with henna.

Enjoy!!

Jovees Honey and Apple Conditioning Shampoo Review

So today is another review day! And today I'm gonna talk about the product which has been with me for the longest time ever☺ Yah, as you all must have understood by the caption, today I will be sharing my review about Jovees Honey and Apple Conditioning Shampoo. I have been using this shampoo for the longest time ever! For the last FOUR years, I'm using it. Not that I'm saying this is the best shampoo ever in the market and blah blah, but it surely suits my hair the best out of all the shampoos that I had used before coming across this one. So the shampoo actually looks like this: The shampoo had a different packaging when I just started using it and is now in this form. So you can understand I have seen all phases of this shampoo. LOL!! I actually have very dry and rough hair and was looking for some shampoo which will keep it soft and not make it even drier after hair wash. This exactly serves the purpose. It is transparent and has a very mild and nice f...

Mixed Noodles

As the name suggests, this is a veggie cum non-veg noodles recipe!! The simplest ever, but is also healthy and much more filling than regular instant noodle. So what all do you need for this? Instant Noodles (any brand) and the masala of it, Vegetables (here I have taken a carrot, capsicum, potato, and onion-you can also use other vegetables of your wish), Eggs (here I have used 2) Cumin seeds, salt, turmeric. How to make it? First, boil the noodles and keep it aside. (Remember to strain off excess water from the noodles and also wash the noodles with cold water after its boiled to remove the stickiness of the noodle.) Take a kadai, one spoon oil. Add the cumin seeds, salt, and turmeric. Then add the chopped onions, let it get brownish. Now add rest of the vegetables. Let them cook for a while. Then add the noodles masala, stir and then add eggs (you can also add chicken). Stir for 1-2 minutes till the egg is cooked. Now add the already boiled noodles. Mix well, and ...
