I'm now REDHEAD !! (Well,almost..)

Red hair. Its beautiful. I have to try it,at least once. Before that, I made a lot of research on Youtube. How to dye ur hair at home, blah3.. I dont want to damage my hair by using chemical hair dye, so I used henna. I used black-blueish henna dye, and it worked. My hair was black, (before dye,my hair was brown) Then I used the regular henna that used for body art & it turned my hair a bit darker brown.. and it faded for couple of months.. And now, I decided to go for red.. but not Rihanna red.. More like classic red..deep red..
So, I bought Shurah Classic Red (it was the cheapest amongst all hair dye in the store after 20% discount)
Shurah Merah Klasik 05#

I chose this brand because that's the only hair dye that has tutorial online, use natural henna and has positive reviews. Natifa also use henna, I'll try that brand next time..

Unpacked it.These were the things inside the box..

Squeeze out the color & activator out of the tube into a container.
 (Idk why the color suddenly turned yellow to brown at the end of the tube)
 Mix it.
(Eventually it will become tomato-red thick paste color)
Don't left the mix for too long.Get ur comb/brush & apply it to ur hair.

Result :
Before
After



My first try,I applied it from bottom hair,section by section until roots of my hair.
The results?
The roots of the top hair kinda orangey in bright light,honey blonde in low light..
The bottom hair,yes..classic red..
What's wrong with the top hair? 
Maybe I left it too short? I left my hair for 2 hours..

Still not satisfied with the result. The next day, I bought another box of it and apply it again with the same duration (except root first,then bottom) because I researched,henna should be started from the root.(but this was pre-mix henna,it contain hydrogen peroxide too)

The next box, (2nd attempt)
(different right?)

(this is the color u should apply to ur hair)

Result:

(after 2 weeks of henna)

I didnt take pic directly after I henna it..but it does darken a bit of my root.
And finally it became red..Even though it's just a bit red..But i'm quite ok with it..and it's does not damage my hair at all. In fact,it makes my hair more glossy and softer.

So, my review for Shurah 8/10..

Traditional remedies for beauty to be experiment (Effective,simple & cheap)

Sometimes, simple things that we use in daily lives can also surprises us with its other 'uses',esp for our skin..
There are many home remedies on the Internet and I decided to try it on myself..


EXPERIMENT #1 (treat acne with toothpaste)

I used to have pimples on my forehead, so I made research on the Internet & I found a lot of traditional methods to treat acne.. eg ; use tea tree oil,potatoes,blah blah blah..
I'm a college student so I have budget too, I want to try a safer & cheaper method to treat my acne..
So, the most cheapest,of course, toothpaste.. How can I say ? It works like charm !
It does treat my acne very well.. The ingredients inside the toothpaste are quite similar with the acne product we have now..so, it's basically just the same thing,only more effective and cheaper..

So,for my first experiment,my pimples was not very bad & I want to know will it work on more serious acne problems..
So,I tested it on my friend,he used to have serious acne problems on his cheek and chin..It keep bleeding.. (one of the acne causes,he kept scratching it)
So i asked him to use my method..after a month, his face way smoother than before and less acne.. He was shocked to see the differences on his face and thanked me for it.. Then, his college friends also noticed his differences & asked what did he uses to treat his acne.. He said "toothpaste". Others don't believe it,some do.. One of his friends tried it and also noticed the differences in one day.. I know,too good to be true.. But I'm not joking and toothpaste really does help in reduces acne..Sorry for no picture 'before & after'.. I didn't knew it would work for more serious acne..

So,enough with the testimony..so let us try this home remedy to treat acne. 


TREAT UR ACNE WITH TOOTHPASTE
1. Wash your face with warm water.. (not necessary,but its more effective and faster)
2. Towel-dry your face gently...(tissue also do,just do NOT air-dry)
3. Apply just enough amount of toothpaste on your acne..just enough to cover it.. (any kind of toothpaste would do,only the burning effect will be different)
4. Leave it for an hour & you will a feel burning effect on your acne,but trust me..If it does,then its working..& it depends on what brand you use.. If you use Colgate,you will feel the burning effect greater than Darlie .. Fresh & White,not much..others, Idk.. Just hold that burning sensation..Trust me,its for ur own good.
5. Wash ur face again with facewash or  just cold water.. (If its your first time doing this,you might saw the redness on your face)
6. Repeat this method (once a day) until your acne has gone..Usually it'll gone in 3 days..do this method for 3-4 days in a week (if the acne is still there) & repeat for the following week..

This method has to be done consistently & only use it when you have acne..When the acne has gone,stop applying it..
If you have serious acne,it may takes time..my friends doesn't have acne anymore in a month,it depends on how serious your acne is..

For the faster method & not so serious acne..

Apply it when you want to go to sleep and leave it overnight..Then,you wake up on the next day and wash it off..I use this method because my acne was not serious and it gone,completely.. Even I was shocked to see my acne gone on the next day.. I have started this experiment on 9/5/14..

My friends already promoting this method to his college friends..Share it with your friend..You might could save your budget by reducing the cost to buy beauty products..


BTW,TO MAINTAIN UR ACNE-FREE FACE,FOLLOW THIS STEPS

Ok,after u got acne-free face from steps above,its very crucial that u follow the nex steps which are...

1. Drink more plain water (7-8 glasses a day or more,depends on how active ur lifestyle). Drink more & more until ur urine become clear (slightly yellowish or better,clear urine). This steps help to remove toxin from ur body,effectively..

2. Eat vegetables and fruit.. The more,the clearer ur skin will be..(focus on fruit that has vit-C)

3. Exercise! If u too lazy too work out,just take a walk for about 2km..It's not that far.. I noticed this step is crucial because I like to stay in the room.. & when I started to walk around with my friends, let the sweat out of my skin (I hate sweating,that is why I never exercised) and got home, wash my face, notice that my face turns out brighter than before..Its like,my face has it own aura.. It means that my skin is doin its thing,(toxin excretion) Idk what its called,it's been a while I left Biology class..
So,if u want ur face look lively and refreshing,exercise.

That's all..Not only u gain acne-free face,but also a bonus for ur health! Plus,it's does not require high budget at all!!

So,hope this helps and leave a comment below if you want to ask anything about this method..
I will update another post for my next experiment-treat your scar..
