Brides and hair-care fiascos: 3 tips for beautiful hair

Why is it so difficult to manage you? Why can’t you be bouncy and cheerful all the time? Why do you have to make my life so miserable?

If you have ever asked these questions to your nasty hair to make them beautiful hair, then you and I suffer from the same dilemma: Lack of proper hair-care. And especially if you are a bride-to-be, this can become a major issue for you.

However, there is nothing to be worried about. Just a bit of effort by you on a daily basis can do wonders.

I was once told that the best thing about me is my hair… otherwise I’m just average looking! Ouch! That hurt… I almost wanted to murder the person who said this to me. However, it was a wakeup call to know her jealously for my beautiful healthy hair. It helped me spot lots of green-eyed darlings with Colgate smiles, secretly admiring my glossy to-die-for tresses.

We all love our hair, right? Why not? It gives us a lead to look different each time. When the mood strikes us or we want to present a different image to the world, we change our hair, usually to the detriment of its health. This doesn’t mean you have to give up styling.

GLOWMIX

This is also a mild treatment for damaged hair. Whip one whole egg until it’s frothy, then add in half cup plain, whole yogurt and mix well. Apply it to your hair evenly, leave on for 10 minutes, and then rinse well with cool water. You won’t need to shampoo unless you’re due for it anyway.
