(What to get/buy)Hair:*check out michelle phan on youtube***
Try a shampoo formulated for your hair. If you go to the drugstore, you will see many shampoo's for frizzy, straight, colour treated hair and many more. I also suggest Garnier, because it has many vitamins and is very good for your hair. Keeping it VERY strong,shiny and gorgeous.
Hairsprays, they can be good and bad. They hold your hair in place, but also dry out, and cause split ends. If you HAVE to use it every day, get regular haircuts for the split ends, (i.e. once of three,four or five months) Hair dryers, are good but also dry out your hair. They are good if you need to style a certain style for your hair, or if your in a rush. Other than that, letting your hair dry naturally, can keep it looking great. Shampoo is a must to get nice clean hair, and conditioner makes your hair soft and shiny, and does not let it dry out, but does not get over-oily.
What to do:
Well, you go to take a shower. Turn it on to luke warm water (so not hot but not cool) Shampoo(lather) wait a few seconds for it to sink in, rinse well. Apply conditioner. Now conditioner needs to be left in longer, so shave,wash yourself while the conditioner sinks in. Then after you are done rinse the conditioner well. It may be abit hard, but remember for shampoo and conditioner, a small amount about just bigger than a quarter should be applied evenly to your hair.
When you get out of the shower rap your hair in a towel. Do whatever you have to do, wash face etc...
After that, let your hair out(your hair should be damp)
Maybe if you want, blow dry with a brush too, running brush through hair. To add volume, blow dry upside down.
Home Remedies:
Applying coconut oil (found at grocery stores) to your hair, is very good leaving it healthy looking. Apply for about 1 hour, then wash out normally. This may leave your hair oily, so i suggest a VERY small amount or mix with your shampoo abit.
Rinsing your hair with vinegar, is a very good way to leave it nice and clean. This leaves your hair so nice and clean. But it will take a few days to get the smell out... :P so again, very little, wash your hair with a few drops. Or apply with shampoo. (Then ofcourse wash hair normally)
Coffee, helps richen and darken brown hair.(rinse with dark hair leave in for 2 mins, rinse)
%26amp; Lemons help lighten blonde hair.(squeeze lemon juice into hair, on a nice sunny day sit outside, or leave your hair for about an hour)
You will have to do both of these to see a real difference.
Tea tree is also very good, you can find it at drugstores (Tea Tree Oil)
Nail care:
Well nails are pretty easy. But you HAVE to buy some things for this. You will need:
Nail File, Top Coat, Nail Polish (optional),Tea Tree Oil,Nail clipper,Cuticle Cream
Nail files, really any brand is good, drugstores is where you can find all of this, sometimes even some salons.
Nail files keep your nails short and in shape.
Top Coat, which is a clear nail polish, helps protect your nails from cracking, chipping, and any other type of damage. I suggest a nourishing kind, with vitemans. Nail Polish, makes your nails look nice :) But put on a base coat to avoid staining nails, two coats of nail polish, two coats of a top coat. And ofcourse, a nail clipper to trim nails. Cutical cream (i suggest burt's bee's lime cuticle softner), softens that skin around the nail, and if you look at the bottom of your nail, there is a layer of skin, kind of on the nail. Usaully that can get to hard, so using a cuticle cream can soften and flake off any dead skin.
Remedies:
Tea Tree oil. You know that tea tree oil for your hair? Yep. Leave it on your nails (a drop) rub it in abit, so the nails are damp, leave it on, 20 minutes or 10 minutes, then your nails will be very healthy! There is also top coats that contain tea tree oil.
Skin Care ( my favourite! )
I ALWAYS suggest spectro derm. Now, you sound like you have acne, as you said :P
So, i suggest the sensitive, acne cleanser from spectro. It is frangrance free and it wont irratate skin, you should see an improvement in a few days to a week. Also there is Spectro hydrocare, moisturizers. Acne one (again)They are labelled. Then spectro has acne treatments, not sure what they are, because i have the opposite of acne. So it might be a cream?
How to:
Wash face morning and night with luke warm water, apply gel (yes it is a gel cleanser) all over face, gently massage into face for about 1 min. Rinse with warm water. Rinse with cool water to close pores. Pat face dry. Apply moisturizer (Not too much). Wait 30 seconds. Pat exfess moisture off) Apply acne treatment ot any acne.
Exfoliate once a week, maybe sunday night. So splash warm water on face. Apply ST.IVES APRICOT SCRUB BLACKHEAD AND BLEMISH PRONE SKIN. Rub in gently for one min. Then Rinse(with warm then cold water).Beginner Hair/Nail/Skin care?
I had to go through the same thing too so i relied a lot on magazines such as seventeen and cosmo girl. For me, i use a deep conditioner every week to keep my hair healthy, soft, shiny, and strong. Also, try not to use any heat products too much becuase that will cause your hair to become damaged and fragile. You will also notice split ends. If you do get some, don't worry. Just make a visit to a salon and get your hair trimmed. You're supposed to get your hair trimmed every 6 months to keep it from having any split ends. For nails, i give my self a mani and pedi every 2 weeks. Stopping at the nail salon is fine, if you are willing to pay that much when you can spend less at home. I first remove any left over polish i have. Then soak your hands in soapy warm water for 5 minutes. Then trim your nails(not too far, just until you see a bit of white) and buff them to a nice shape that you prefer. Next add some cuticle oil. Finally, add a base coat or clear nail polish, 2 layers of a polish of your choice, and another coat of clear nail polish or a top coat. For toes, i do the same thing. For skin, i recomend buying face masks and using them once a week. You don't have to go out and buy an expensive mask. Any mask will do. I use the cheap 3 dollar ones from Wal Mart. Wash your face daily with any face wash that fits your skin type. If you have oily skin, look for oil free clensers. If you have normal skin you are free to use any scrub you would like. I like the apricot scrub from Target! Do these daily and you'll end up looking perfectly polished! hope that helped!
