Cassia Treatment


I have heard so many natural hair folks talking about henna and cassia treatments for their hair. So finally, I decided to do a cassia treatment. Cassia makes your hair stronger, healthier, shinier, and it is the best conditioner on earth. (If you want to learn more about henna or cassia go to http://www.hennaforhair.com/, it is not just for black people haha).

So my cassia recipe consisted of 150g of cassia, honey, castor oil, jojoba oil, and enough filtered water to give it a yogurt consistency.



I know the color looks funky, but it is worth it. And it is completely natural, no chemicals. Which is important to me.

Then i smooshed it all in my hair and covered it with a plastic cap. I left it in my hair for about an hour and a half.





I used about half a bottle of cheap conditioner to wash it out. Washed, conditioned, and detangled my hair as usual.



So the results...my hair has never felt so soft. Also, my usual no shine hair actually has some. I love this stuff. I will definitely be using it again. And I will unleash the inner mixtress in me and come up with different recipes. My goal is to increase the shine in my hair. If I can accomplish that I will be ecstatic.

Unfortunately, because of my crazy work schedule last week I did nothing to my hair so I have no pics just yet of the wonderful results. But when I get some I will update.

Heroes Hayden Panettiere Hair and Fashion Makeup




Heroes Hayden Panettiere's Hairstyles and Fashion Makeup

Young actress Hayden Panettiere drew attention earlier in the year when she showcased a blunt cut blonde bob. She is a beautiful girl and the bob hairstyle is very popular right now so it looked great on her. She generally wore the bob style but she occasionally wore it curly and pinned it up or different other little things with it to change up her style. This hairstyle was so drastic because for many years Hayden wore relatively long blonde hair. She has worn it different ways such as straight, wavy and curly but her hair has traditionally always been long. When Hayden’s hair was long she generally wore it down but for special events sometimes she would pin it up or even straighten it out and wear it totally straight.
Hayden Panettiere With Her Latest Special Occasion Fashion Style - August 2009

Hayden Panettiere is a young lady who has been in the business for a while and she knows what styles look best on her. She has never worn a lot of makeup and even as she gets older she still does not focus on being overdone. This is a great look for her because with her crystal clear skin wearing too much makeup would take away from her natural attributes. As far as makeup goes Hayden keeps it soft and simple.

At most events she wears soft colors that tend to blend in with her skin and almost make it seem like she doesn’t have anything on.

Ashton Kutcher Hair, Fashion Style




Ashton Kutcher's Hair and Fashion Style 2009

Ashton Kutcher has been a heart throb for several years. His boyish good looks and boy next door personality continue to spur his personality. Ashton’s hair has not changed too much over the years but he has switched back and forth between longer hair in the front and on the sides and shorter hair. Occasionally Ashton grows his hair out and he ends up with a form of side swept bangs. There is no doubt however that whether his hair is short or long he always looks great. At times Ashton has cut his hair down low and worn it tapered on the sides and back and a little longer in the front. Ashton Kutcher likes fun so he probably never stressed about his hair he just goes with the flow. Ashton definitely can be thought of as the typical boy next door because his fashion style can be described as trendy and casual.

At a red carpet event alongside his equally beautiful wide Demi Moore, Ashton knows how to dress for the occasion. He can be spotted wearing a great looking suit or dress outfit and sometimes he even has a hat which adds a little mystery to his outfit. On typical days Ashton likes to wear jeans and t-shirts. Ashton is never overly concerned with designers or even the hottest fashion trend he just likes to be comfortable and have fun.
