I discussed reversing grey hair from the inside with nutrients but what do you do in the meantime? It’s all very well waiting patiently until the grey hair (hopefully) grows out and is replaced with something a bit more colourful but I don’t think I have that kind of patience. One option is to relent and [...]
There’s nothing quite so depressing as looking in the mirror to see a head full of grey hair, unless you happen to have the right skin tone to match. Some people are lucky but the rest of us tend to look like all the life has drained out of our faces. Being concerned about grey [...]
So many Marvel Oils, so little time! If you want stronger, shinier hair and a healthier scalp, Rosemary essential oil is one of the best things you can use. The rosemary plant has been used as far back as ancient Egyptian and Roman times for a wide variety of health benefits but it seems to [...]
In a previous article on natural shampoo, I spoke about rinsing your hair with vinegar. This acts like a conditioner but without all the surfactants and coatings of commercial products. We have all been conditioned (excuse the pun) to think of hair conditioners as thick, slippery and creamy, so using vinegar instead seems distinctly odd. [...]
If you are feeling particularly adventurous, you can make your own Virgin Coconut Oil at home. The process is quite simple and there are a few ways of doing it so you can experiment and decide which one you prefer. All you need are a few fresh, mature coconuts and a bit of time. [...]
Well, to be honest, in the beginning, nothing much! In fact, your hair is likely to be a bit limp and sad looking for at least the first few washes. It probably won’t look or feel particularly clean either. At this stage, you might think that this no ‘poo lark is all a load of [...]
Did you know that your expensive bottle of shampoo promising thick, smooth and shiny hair is probably full of endocrine disruptors, thickeners, foaming agents, solvents, plastic, silicone, preservatives and decidedly unnatural chemical fragrances? It also likely shares ingredients with things like paint, herbicides and putty. The scary thing is that very, very few of the [...]
Run out of foundation or simply don’t want to use the store variety anymore? You might be thinking that your only choice is just to go bare faced and be done with it but if you step right this way and into the kitchen, there’s another, entirely natural route. We already covered DIY mascara but [...]
Yes you can! It doesn’t seem possible to replace commercial cosmetics like mascara without getting a pharmaceutical degree but it is surprisingly easy when you know how. Once you get past the idea that make-up has to be complicated and full of impossible to get ingredients, you can make all sorts of lovely things [...]
Don’t be put off at the thought of making your own sauerkraut. It’s pretty easy to do, is way healthier and tastier than the commercial variety and if you use red cabbage, looks fantastic too! It will last for months and months in the fridge, however you probably won’t get to confirm this small fact [...]
