Natural Hair and Scalp Treatment

Natural Hair Treatment

Natural Hair Treatment

We were inspired by this pin on Pinterest. It’s said to increase scalp circulation, loosens up dry and itchy scalp. It also removes residue from your everyday shampoo and conditioner.

All you need...

All you need…

4 x tablespoons coconut oil
2 x tablespoons lemon juice
1 x tablespoon grapefruit juice

– mix mix mix
– apply to dry hair. Scalp only and start at the top of your head
– massage in with your fingertips and leave in for 20 minutes. We left it for an hour
– rinse out and shampoo and condition as per normal

We tried it and it definitely loosened up the dry scalp that historically never went away – 2 weeks later it hasn’t come back. It also left our hair feeling so clean! We felt it was a little heavy on our fair hair and it took a few washes to not have oily feeling hair. That’s just a minor setback and we highly recommend you try it – especially if you have lovely thick hair!

Give it a go and don’t forget to tell us how it goes for you šŸ™‚

Take care, until next time…keep restyling!

DIY Posy Flower – we call it ‘The Burnt Flower’

Accessories, Candle, Do it yourself, Flower, headband, Pinterest, recycle, restyle, Tealight, Tutorial, upcycle

We first saw the Posy Pin Tutorial by Grace LacedĀ in the beginning of our life with Pinterest.

They are so easy to make and are our favourite of the DIY flowers. The end result is always very elegant and doesn’t look cheaply made at all. We have also found many great ways to use them – from headbands, to tank top embellishment and various other restyles.

Here is our tutorial on how to make ‘The Burnt Flower’. It’s our first one, so we are Ā open to any feedback you have so that our future tutorials are easy to understand and full of FUN!

Flower - Tools

Flower – Tools

You start with circles of polyester fabric (like satin or organza) – around 3 – 4 different sizes (and around 2-3 pieces of each size) depending how ‘full’ you want your flower to look. It doesn’t have to be neat and perfect – the messier the better!

You will then need a candle and lighter – in the picture we have a normal candle (it is all we had) – but normally we would use a tea light candle. It’s easier to manage the flame. For your first few times you will want to have a small bowl of water nearby in case of any out of control fires.

Step 1 - burn edges

Step 1 – burn edges

Step 2 - burn centre

Step 2 – burn centre

Step 3 - assembly time

Step 3 – assembly time

With this flower we used a button (again all we had on hand) but you can use any sort of bead as well or a clump of beads. We’ve even used an old earring before!

Final product - The Burnt Flower

Final product – The Burnt Flower

Here’s a few links to Pinterest of how we’ve used this little gem in different ways.

Polka Dot Dress Flowers

Pajama Pants Flowers

Disco Shoes Flowers

Necklace Flowers

Bracelet Flowers

Flowers for Headbands

You were warned that we loved them! Hope you enjoyed our first tutorial. What’s your favourite DIY flower?

Take care, until next time…keep restyling!

Soooo ummmmm we were just working on the summary post of all of our pin it and do it challenges for tomorrow – and we realised that we are missing #4! Poor number 4! *blush*

That’s ok – we had a restyle that we were going to post later on in the week – so instead here it is šŸ™‚

Here is the pinĀ that inspired us on Pinterest. We did a slightly different spin on it – we painted with old nailpolish instead.

And here it is…

This is our Pinteresting challenge #5 for theĀ Pin It and Do It Challenge.

The pinĀ that inspired us on Pinterest is Polka Dot Nails.

So we gave it a go…we used a BBQ skewer to make the dots…Shout out to Michelle for doing Amour’s nails!

Polka Dot – The process

And here is our finished version…

Red and White Polka Dots!

We loved it so much we did it a little more in different colour variations – which one is your favourite? We also found an easier way to do the dots via this pin – DIY Nail Art Tools.

Polka Dots of Many Colours!

We are getting just a little obsessed with the different nail art tutorials out there – Just look at Amour’s new additions to her nail polish collection!

Nail Polish Box Set

And because that wasn’t enough…

But wait, there’s more…

So you will see us start to put some of our own tutorials together – it’s just too much fun!

Take care, until next time…keep restyling!
