Got Frizz?

Frizzy hair can happen to anyone. Here are some tips to help you control your frizz so that you can look your best when you step out this weekend.

 Flaxseed Gel

To make flaxeed gel that will tame and soften frizzy hair, boil water in a small saucepan and add two cups of whole flaxseeds. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until the liquid gels, stirring constantly. Strain the liquid through cheesecloth or a fine strainer into a small bottle. Add a few drops of an essential oil, and you'll have homemade hair gel to beat the frizzies. You can add a little aloe vera gel, which will act as a moisturizer, to the flaxseed gel.

Oil Treatments 

Applying an oil treatment is an effective way to tame frizzy hair. At least twice a week, spread a very small amount of coconut, almond or olive oil evenly throughout your hair. Every two weeks, before shampooing, apply a small amount of castor oil to your hair and cover your head with a warm, moist towel so that the oil can penetrate and nourish your scalp. These oils contain nutrients and essential fatty acids that will strengthen and soften your hair.

 Honey

Honey has moisturizing and conditioning properties. It contains many nutrients and has a smoothing effect on frizzy hair. Honey can be used alone or combined with other ingredients, and there are several ways to use it as a conditioner for frizzy hair. Mix 1/2 cup honey and 1/4 cup olive oil together. Apply it to your hair and cover with a plastic cap. Leave this mixture on for 20 to 30 minutes, then shampoo it out.

 Coconut Milk

Coconut milk is a nourishing conditioner that softens frizzy hair. It can be used alone or mixed with oil, a raw egg or avocado for extra conditioning. Apply the mixture to your hair, and cover your hair with a plastic cap. Leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes, then shampoo out.

 Egg and Mayonnaise

Eggs and mayonnaise have properties that will soften and smooth frizzy hair. The protein content in these two ingredients can make your hair shiny and silky. Mix eggs and mayonnaise together, apply it to your hair, and cover with a plastic cap. Leave this on for 30 to 45 minutes, then wash it out.

Two More Easy Beauty Tips for Flawless Summer Skin

Not only does ShopTasneen.com celebrate all body types, we also respectfully consider the beauty of our skin. Whether you are mocha brown, olive, golden yellow, or sun kissed; continuous, proper skin care is essential to your overall beauty.  



We believe you should feel about your skin similar to how an artist regards his canvas, or a photograph regards his backdrop; meaning, it is the foundation upon which we create our "work-of-art" (ie. our outside appearance) upon which our beauty is revealed.  It’s all about keeping your skin healthy and making your summer glow looking flawless.

Tip #1:  Rejuvenate your healthy cells by scrubbing with sea salt and lemon. This will cleanse out bacteria and blemishes. The good news is, you only need to scrub about 3 times per week.  Regular skin scrubs will remove dead skin and minimize acne scars.

Tip #2:  Add life to your skin by drinking plenty of water. If you have dark circles under your eyes, your skin tends to dry out, or even if your skin over produce oils - drinking at least 3 liters of water per day will make your skin look and feel healthier.

Stay "Hot" Without the Heat!

As Promised, here are some "Stay-Cool" Beauty Tips!


OLIVE OIL!   It's not just for cooking anymore, we've discovered it can be used - successfully - to solve frizzy hair issues.  Heat up approximately one cup of Olive Oil and apply to the length of your hair, cover with a shower cap first, then with a warm towel.  You will have to warm up your towel a couple times so that the oil says warm in your hair for 30 minutes.  When the time is up, wash and shampoo as normal. 

If you can commit to doing this at least one to three times per week, you will begin to experience long-term frizzy hair relief - what a concept!!
