As you may imagine, I spend a lot of my time in Hair and Beauty section. And I come across tons of DIY hair masks or treatments.
I laugh at them.
Here are some that I've discovered:
Apply for 1 month, 1 time per week. Hair grows about 10 cm! Mask recipe is very simple and is based on the fact that mustard bakes, warming the skin of the head and causing a rush of blood to the hair follicles: 2 tablespoons dry mustard powder, with hot water to dissolve, 2 tablespoons of hot water, 1 egg yolk, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons of sugar
First of all, look at this picture. Hair to your knees, nasty stringy ends, does any one of us really want that? No. We don't.
Now lets read the instructions. Mustard bakes. You are essentially baking your head? I think that's a bad idea. Not to mention the fact that there is not really a way to get your hair to grow faster. It's kinda impossible, even if you do fry your follicles.
If heat made hair grow faster, wouldn't our blow dryers do the trick?
Twist your bangs into a single mesh in the center of your face above the bridge of your nose and snip the ends. Twisting the hair before cutting will give your bangs a wispy look.
Ok. This one actually has a grain of truth to it. You can twist your hair to cut bangs, but it doesn't make them wispy. It's actually is a technique used by Sam Villa, and if you don't know who he is, then chances are you aren't a licensed hairstylist, and that means you shouldn't be cutting your own bangs.
Seriously, go to your stylist. We can tell when you cut your own hair, and we hate it.
To straighten hair without heat, just mix a cup of water with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, pour it into a spray bottle, then spray into damp hair and let hair dry.
This one is my personal favorite. Put sugar in your hair.
Really.
Don't do it guys. All this is going to do is make your hair sticky.
All in all, if you're reading something on Pinterest that sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
With what you have posted up I saw those on Pinterest as well and didn't believe it and I so agree with you that goes for the skin as well.
ReplyDeleteActually that's a good rule of thumb regardless of the context (hair, make up, travel, etc) if it sounds too good to be true it probably is! I could tell you some stories from my days as a travel agent...just plain silliness!
