Hair Care

2. Rice Mask

This is one of my favorite hair masks to soften and repair hair instantly. It has a nice fragrance that is not too heavy and the texture is smooth and light.


It has extracts of organic brown rice, ginkgo biloba and polygonum multiflorum root. This mask can be used for 2 - 3 times a week for about 5 - 10 minutes.




After shampooing I towel dry my hair so there is no excess water and then take a small amount of the creamy mixture and apply it from my mid-lengths all the way to the tips of my hair.
You will notice how smooth and silky your hair is in the first application. I recommend using this twice a week.

I purchased this hair mask from Guardian Pharmacy in Malaysia and its price is reasonable. It comes in a light weight tub that is easy to use. Guardian used to carry a hair mud mask which worked equally well but sadly it was discontinued. Luckily this organic brown rice mask works on my hair and I am satisfied with it.

I would give this a rating of 4.5/5.



1. Frizz Fighter



  Argan oil also known as Moroccan oil is a rare oil widely used in skin and hair care. It is a plant oil produced from kernels of the Argan tree. It has a pleasant nutty buttery smell which is not overpowering, and consists of anti-oxidants high in Vitamin E and Vitamin C. 

This is how I incorporate Argan oil in my hair care routine: 

Do remember that a little goes a long way! Don’t use too much because your hair will become oily.
  • I use it as a hot oil treatment incorporating a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, half a tablespoon of Argan oil and sometimes coconut oil for a more intensive treatment.
  • Apply the oil mixture throughout the hair from roots to the tips.
  • Massage the mixture into the scalp. Wrap your hair in a warm towel or a shower cap and keep it for at least 30 minutes.
  • Then wash hair with cold or warm water, and follow up with a shampoo and conditioner.
If my hair is frizzy after showering, I lightly apply some Argan oil throughout my wet hair and let it dry naturally. Applying Argan oil on your hair while it’s wet will help to make it dry 40% faster. If you are blow-drying your hair it will help to protect your hair shafts from heat. 

If you do this treatment every time you wash your hair you can see a difference after 2 weeks. You will notice your hair has become smoother and glossy, less frizzy and reduced split ends. It acts as a moisturizing agent that is perfect for beating the hot and dry weather. You can apply a bit of oil on the tips of your hair after washing your hair and before going out.  

If you are constantly using a curling iron, applying some Argan oil to your hair will help to maintain the shape of your curls or hairstyle and protect it from the heat. You can use a bit more after styling your hair if you feel it’s not enough. Furthermore it helps to promote and increase hair growth.  
       

Make sure you buy pure extracts or organic Argan oil to reap the full benefits of this miraculous oil. There are beauty products comprising of Argan oil mixed with synthetic ingredients that can do more harm than good. 

It is a natural secret weapon for beautiful hair and glowing skin used by many celebrities. It pumps vitality into hair. You can achieve silky gorgeous hair within a month if you use this oil consistently in your hair care routine.

Oilseeds are widely used in the production of vegetable oils. The main components of vegetable oils are esters of linear higher fatty acids and glycerol. In addition to palmitic acids, stearic acids and oleic acids, fatty acids also contain various unsaturated acids such as erucic acids, Hair Care Products testing
