By the hair on my chinny chin chin || SS

I think of myself as a pretty secure person. But the one thing that Im most insecure about is the hair on my chin. Like many women, I too grow hair on my chin. Nothing to be ashamed about. Except, it grows back SO FAST! I went threading on Wednesday and by Thursday I had hair to tweeze. Now granted, its also because I have ingrown hair and she could not thread all of it out.

I always joke that I got the worst of the two genes. The women in my mom’s family suffer from chin hair. They also suffer from ovarian cysts and PCOS. So, guess who has a great relationship with her gynecologist and family doctor…ME! If you do suffer from fast growing facial hair, I would honestly recommend getting yourself checked out. It cannot hurt. So far, I am okay but I am constantly being monitored. Thanks free healthcare!

Anyway, through years of inexperienced tweezing, I have really dark marks on my chin. YAY INGROWN HAIRS!

I have been trying to figure out a good beauty regimen for myself. Here is what I have been trying.

Every night – Apply Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Overnight Peel  (See mini review below)
Every other night – Exfoliate using an Apricot Scrub
Every other night – Tweeze immediately after exfoliating.

Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Overnight Peel – $10.08 (on Amazon)
I like this product. I think for basic sun spots it does the job. It takes a couple of weeks but you will notice the difference. Even for my chin discolouration, I have noticed them lightening after about 14 days of use. I have it on my desk so, when I’m about to go to bed, I would slather it on and go to sleep. Wash it off in the morning. I wish I had taken photos of it. Blogger Fail!

Vitamin E
I have been hearing SO many good things about Vitamin E for dark spots.so for the next few weeks, I will be trying that out for the next little while. Guess what? Ill even take pictures.

Banana Hair Mask to Help Your Sh!tty Hair!

I have a weird admission. I hate ripened bananas. I like my bananas slightly green still. Is that weird?

Don’t judge me! 

Anyway, I had left over ripened bananas. Since, they are now officially unedible, I did what every other normal, regular person would do. I made a banana hair mask. 

Bananas are rich in potassium that strengthens hair, minimizes breakage by restoring your hair’s natural elasticity, and facilitates repair of damaged hair. Bananas also moisturize your hair as they contain natural oils and about 75% water.

The basic idea is: you take a banana, smush it and you put it all over your scalp and hair.

If you feel like putting a little bit more effort into it, you can add any one or a combo of the following to the mixture

• Coconut Oil – Holy grail of hair treatment. It helps hair growth, minimizes hair loss, help reduce damage, conditions, its anti-dandruff, anti-fungal, and the list goes on!
• Olive Oil – Smooths hair, anti-dandruff, conditions, adds shine, tames frizzles, softens hair, and more
• Honey – Adds and retains moisture, minimizes hair loss, softens hair, adds sheen, EXCELLENT for dry, dull, brittle hair. Also its smells and tastes yummy!
• Milk – Makes hair soft and shiny
• Yoghurt – Conditions, adds and retains moisture, helps soothe itchy scalp, anti fungal, anti bacterial, ati dandruff, cools your scalp (ya hot head!)
• Avacado – helps support hair growth, adds shine, prevents hair loss, promotes hair growth
• The blood of your enemies – helps absorb their power into your body through your scalp.
• Coconut Milk – Nourishes hair, prevents balding, stimulates hair growth, helps detangle hair, conditions, moisturizes
• Possibly anything else that may be going bad in your kitchen

Here is what I used:

2 Bananas
2 Tbs of milk
1 Tbs of Coconut Oil
1 Tbs of Olive oil
aka everything I had.

Pro tip: USE A BLENDER!!! There is nothing like having annoying banana chunks in your hair!

It should look like this:

I sectioned off my hair, and spooned the mixture onto my scalp. I then massaged the mixture in. THIS FEELS AMAZING! It was super cooling! Keep going until your entire scalp has been covered. Then massage the rest onto the length of your hair. Wrap it up in a shower cap, plastic bag, or a towel. (The general theme of this entire process is: Use what you have!)

Keep the mask on for a minimum of 20 minutes and a maximum of whenever you have time to wash it off! [I kept it on for about 2 hours]

Shampoo and condition as normal.

Wet:

Dry:

Then do this for the next few hours!

It MAY smell like bananas for a bit but I feel the smell fades away after a few hours.

The hair ends up being very shiny, smooth and soft. The tips of my hair has been feeling a bit frayed lately, and after this mask, it feels just as shiny and smooth as the rest of the hair!

Let us know if you try this sh!t and how it goes!
