Drugstore Product Of The Week: OGX Anti-Hair Fall Out!

The inevitable has happened and I have a few bold spots to prove it. Motherhood has such a big impact on our lives and body, one of my least favorite is defined hair loss. Everywhere I go I leave a small pile of hair behind, you find it in the chairs I sit, the couch, bed, etc. I am currently doing everything I know to help new hair grow back and also stop my hair from falling out any more. 

I found this shampoo while shopping  in Target and decided to give it a try. I have only been using it for a two weeks now but I really love it! It leaves my hair feeling fuller and healthy. Time will tell if it actually helps with the growth but it's definitely a keeper!

My Favorite Recipes For Hair And Skin Using Coffee/ Mis Cinco Recetas Favoritas Para El Cuidado De Mi Piel Y Cabello Usando Cafe!

 I don't drink coffee and I try to stay away from any drinks that contain caffeine, it makes me super jittery and really sicK. I do however love the smell and I love even more to use it in my skin care, if like me you have really bad dark circles than you probably know that most of the eye creams contain coffee and after you try some of my favorite DIY treatments you will see why! 

The caffeine in coffee has benefits like treating redness and inflammation, to getting rid of the horrible cellulite. Coffee contains anti-inflamatory and antioxidant properties that can keep your skin bright and soft. Also the caffeine can shrink the blood vessel under your eyes reducing circles and puffy eyes. Try some or all of these beauty DIY and let me know how you liked them....

Product Review: Agave Healing Oil Smoothing Trio

I cant even begin to explain how much my hair needed this products right now, and agave smoothing trio is heaven sent! I shared with you all how badly I have damaged my hair in the past year, so bad that I've had to keep cutting it and stop using hot tools to prevent more breakage. I tried the Agave healing oil trio and I could not believe how silky soft my hair felt a looked, I can honestly say that  I have not felt my hair this soft in a LONG time! The shampoo is sulfate-free which we all know by now is the way to go for healthier scalp and hair. The conditioner works like magic just a little bit rubbed into my hair and my hair was soooo soft I could not believe it. The healing oil is the icing on the cake, it smoothes and literally transforms damaged frizzy hair. The ingredients to thank for these results are agave plant sugars, coconut oil, vanilla, sunflower, and safflower are blended with madagascar baobab seed oil. The smell is also very addicting, its transports me to a tropical place kinda like one of those herbal essence commercials but this actually does leave your hair feeling and looking amazing! 

Purchase: ULTA or SEPHORA

Price: $39

Ni siquiera puedo explicar lo mucho mi cabello necesitaba este producto y agave smoothing trio es enviado del cielo! Compartí con ustedes todo lo que he perjudicado mi pelo el año pasado, tanto que he tenido que cortarmelo y deje de usar herramientas de calor para evitar más rotura. He probado el trío de aceite curativo de Agave y no podía creer lo sedoso y suave que mi pelo se siente, honestamente puedo decir que no me he sentido mi cabello este suave en mucho tiempo! Es el champú libre de sulfato que todos sabemos por ahora es el camino a seguir para cabellos y cuero cabelludo saludable. El acondicionador trabaja como magia frotó un poco en mi pelo y mi pelo estaba tan suave que no lo podía creer. El aceite de sanación es la guinda del pastel, suaviza y literalmente se transforma muy rizado cabello dañado. Los ingredientes para agradecer por estos resultados son azúcares de planta de agave, aceite de coco, vainilla, girasol y cártamo se mezclan con aceite de semillas de baobab de madagascar. El olor es también muy adictivo, me transporte a un lugar tropical honestamente lo recomiendo a todas que lo traten por si mismo! 

Good Luck/ Buenas Suerte! Xxx

Who Wants Long Healthy Hair? Quien Quiere Cabello Largo Y Saludable?

Most Recent! 

I was looking back at some of my pictures of 2013 and could not believe how many times I changed the color of my hair and cut it. I get very bored and always like to change my look up but then it ends up MESSING UP MY HAIR BIG TIME. My hair is so messed up right now that it only looks presentable when my hair dresser works her magic. I have been avoiding cutting it at all cost mainly because my husband hates short hair and has me threatened to divorce me if I cut it short again. I will cut some off without taking too much length off, switch some products for more organic ones and try my favorite home remedies that will hopefully repair my hair and help it grow.  

Aloe For Healthy And Speedy Growth:

The enzymes in Aloe Vera, when applied to your scalp, lead to hair growth over time! I mix 3 parts Aloe Vera with 1 part honey. I apply it to my scalp and leave it for about 25 minutes before washing off. I do this once a week. 

Switch To A Sulfate Free Shampoo:

I'm trying this (cross my finger) amazing healing treatment shampoo and conditioner that are sulfate-free and paraben-free I will review after I try it out more. Sulfates can strip the hair and remove even out healthy oils that keep our scalp and hair healthy. 

The Amazing Trio: 

I LOOOOOVE this recipe so much that if you don't do anything else to your hair this alone will change your hair completely. In a bottle I mix in equal parts some organic coconut oil, olive oil, and argan oil mix these together and enjoy! I use this to massage my scalp and put some on my ends every night before I wrap my hair in a scarf to avoid friction with my pillow while I sleep.

I know that apart from our skin, our hair is one of the most important thing we as woman worry about. It is one of the first thing people notice when we enter a room but with the tips above and stepping away from the bleach and heat tools we can all have healthy envy worthy hair!

Brunette 

 Yo estaba mirando hacia atrás a algunas de mis fotografías del 2013 y no podía creer la cantidad de veces que he cambiado el color de mi pelo y me lo corte. Me pongo muy aburrida y siempre me gusta cambiar mi look pero luego termina destruido. Mi pelo es tan mal ahora que sólo le da un aspecto presentable cuando mi peluquera trabaja su magia. He estado evitando cortarmelo a todos los costos sobre todo porque mi marido odia pelo corto y me ha amenazado con divorciarse si me lo corto otra vez. Me voy a cortar una buena cantidad pero sin afectar mucho el largo, y cambiarme a  productos más ecológicos y probar mi favorito remedios caseros que reparan mi cabello y lo ayuda a crecer. 

Aloe Vera para el sano y rápido crecimiento: 
Las enzimas en el Aloe Vera, en el momento de su aplicación en el cuero cabelludo, crecimiento del pelo con el tiempo! Mezclar 3 partes Aloe Vera y miel . LO aplico a mi cuero cabelludo y lo dejo durante unos 25 minutos antes de lavar. Yo lo hago una vez a la semana. 

Cambiar a un Sulfato Shampoo gratis: 
Estoy intentando esta (cruz, mi dedo) increíble tratamiento curativo champú y acondicionador que están libres de sulfato y parabeno, después de que yo lo intente les cuento más. Los sulfatos puede eliminar los aceites sanos que mantienen nuestro cuero cabelludo y cabello saludable. 

El increíble Trío: 
AMO esta receta, que si no lo haces nada más en su pelo esta solo cambiará el cabello. En una botella mezclar en partes iguales entre las sustancias orgánicas aceite de coco, aceite de oliva y aceite de Argane mezclar estos juntos y disfrutar! YO la uso para masajear el cuero cabelludo y poner un poco de mi termina cada noche antes de concluir mi cabello en una bufanda para evitar la fricción con la almohada mientras duermo. 

Sé que aparte de nuestra piel, nuestro pelo es uno de los elemento más importante que como mujer nos preocupamos. Es uno de lo primero que la gente nota al vernos, pero con los consejos anteriores podemos tener cabello digno de envidias! 

Buena Suerte! Xxx

Coconut Cream Hair Mask!

  This mask is Ahhhhmazing!! Just tried it and I looove it! I also like that my hair didn’t smell bad after I washed it, which is always a bit tough with homemade hair recipes! This one seriously takes the cake for extreme moisture and gorgeousness!

The ingredients in this hair mask also promote hair growth and healthy scalp, BUT may make your hair a bit relaxed. This is not recommended for extremely fine hair, as it might make your hair took to greasy.

DEEP MOISTURE COCONUT CREAM HAIR MASKIngredients:

1/2 cup coconut cream
2 tablespoons sweet almond oil or avocado oil (I used both together)

Mix together ingredients very well, make sure oil and cream are blended. Then apply generously to hair and cover with a plastic hair wrap. Let sit for 30 minutes and wash! Good Luck Xxx

My Steps To Longer Healthier Hair!

 It doesn’t matter if you are guy or gal, no matter who you are, HAIR LOSS SUCKS!! And when I tell you I had some of the most damaged, dry hair that seems to shed like crazy, most people don’t believe me! After becoming a mommy, dealing with hair loss was such a huge issue! I feel like I have helped it a lot! It still falls, but taking good care of it, has dramatically slowed the process down and helped new hair grow! Please everyone, even if your hair is not falling yet, try these tips!!! They will help!!

1. Take Your Vitamins! Keeping yourself healthy on the inside is key for gorgeous locks! And of course there are some vitamins that actually make hair thicker! I swear by Biotin and Omega 3-6-9, and I have noticed not only more hair growth from taking these vitamins, but also shinier and healthier hair! I also like taking Cinnamon (or eating it) since it is amazing at increasing blood flow, which means it will also help with hair fall as well as healthier skin!
2. Stay Healthy! Believe it or not, when we neglect our health, one of the first places to suffer is our hair! That means drinking too much caffeine, alcohol, smoking and other things that are detrimental to our health! That also means keeping stress down to a minimum! I always try to meditate and of course I enjoy a massage or bubble bath as often as I can!
3. Massage Your Scalp! I have noticed SUCH a huge difference when I massage my scalp! Actually, when my hair started to fall, I began massaging my head upside down three times a day (I know it sounds crazy, but it works) and noticed an incredible change in my hair fall! It really decreased BIG time!
4. Use an Awesome Hair Mask! I love making my own hair masks for two reasons: my hair feels amazing afterwards, and I can always make them a hair fall hair mask! I always love using vitamin A as well as coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba oil and other natural oils that promote hair growth!
5. Eat Your Protein! When some of the proteins in our body harden, they produce something called keratin, which is the structure that makes up our hair. Keeping a balanced diet including lots of hearty vegtetables, proteins, and grains, ensures that our body gets the right amount of nutrients to make healthy hair! Good LuckXxx

Is Your Hair Causing You Acne?

 One of the biggest causes for body acne is actually our hair products! We use so many oil and shine-enhancing products that help keep our hair tamed but also add a TON of oils in our hair! Of course our hair needs it, our skin however, not so much! So one of the easiest ways to boot backne is actually keeping your hair off your shoulders and back when you get out of the shower! If you are a tank gal, try wearing a full neck tee until your hair dries! As for breakouts around your forehead area, after you apply your hair products, run a toner along your forehead and apply a light moisturizer! This has personally helped me in keeping my skin super clear and bump-free!! Good Luck Xxx
