Make Rapunzel Jealous

Since I was a little girl, my mum would religiously oil my hair every Saturday. At that time I hated it, me running away from my mum who would be following me with a bottle of coconut oil in her hand was a regular scene every Saturday at home. However, as I grew up, I've realized how much of a difference a good oil massage can do to your mane.

From treating and repairing dry and damaged hair to curing dandruff and providing nourishment to the scalp, the benefits of oiling your hair are many.

Here’s how you can get spa like intensive conditioning for your hair at home:

Its quite simple – Hot oil massage followed by some steam, shampoo and conditioning!

Hair Oil Recipe:

Mix equal parts of Olive oil and Coconut Oil and add a few drops of Castor Oil to it.

Heat this for 1-2 minutes in the microwave.

Olive oil is excellent for repairing damaged hair, making it shiny and smooth. Coconut oil nourishes the hair and promotes hair growth and Castor oil is known to make hair thicker. (Before you start with this treatment, make sure you are not allergic to any of the oils.)

How to oil right?

Make partitions in your hair, and rub warm oil onto the scalp. Gently massage for about 10 minutes and let it stay for atleast an hour.

Dip a towel in hot water for a few minutes. Squeeze the excess water thoroughly and wrap the towel around your head for 7-8 minutes – it opens the pores in your scalp and lets the oil seep through.

Shampoo and Condition as usual.

Oil your hair atleast once a week, however if you have extremely dry hair I suggest you do it twice a week.

Are any of you regular hair oil users as well?

Asos Curve - Trendy Plus Size fashion at affordable prices

Ok so retailers are finally coming to realize that most women on the street don’t have the stick like figures of runway models. The Plus Size market is slowly but surely emerging!!

Now that should be some good news for a curvy girl like me, isn't it?? However to be honest, I don’t like most of the stuff the plus size clothing brands offer – empire waists, long flowing tunics, blah dresses… BORING!!!!

Another thing I have noticed is that these clothes are ridiculously high priced. Like seriously, what’s the logic behind this? More fabric so more £? If you’re gonna set such ridiculous prices at least offer something new and trendier?!

Asos Curve, however, has taken me by total surprise. Not only do they have some absolutely gorgeous pieces but the price range is quite affordable as well (maximum price £ 100).

Though I loved almost every piece on their website, Asos Curve stocks in UK Sizes 18 – 26 and therefore not available in my size (14/16). Sigh!

If you are a Size 18 or above do check out Asos Curve.

Here are a few pieces that I liked:

Have any of you purchased anything from Asos Curve before?
