Hair Care Recipes for Home

Belladerm • July 22, 2009

If the summer sun is leaving your hair dry and brittle – or just a little dull – you may be inclined to try one of these little recipes.  Mix them up right in the comfort of your own home and then sit back and let them work their magic.  You’ll be left with more luxurious locks!
Get soft and shiny hair naturally
Mash one peeled avocado and mix it with coconut milk. Apply this on hair and rub well. Leave it for 20 minutes and then wash it out. Shampoo if required.
Shiny Hair with a fresh feeling
Avoid this one if your hair is really damaged or dry.  Add 1 tsp. lemon juice, 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar and 1 cup of water. Apply this after shampooing. Leave it for ten minutes then rinse it out.
 **HOT OIL TREATMENTS**
 Homemade Hot oil treatment #1 Olive oil
This is a treat for dry hair. Warm olive oil and apply on the hair and scalp. Massage it in and leave on the scalp for 15 minutes and then shampoo well.
Homemade Hot oil treatment #2 Olive oil & honey
3 tsp. of olive oil and 1 tsp. of honey. Mix well and apply on scalp; wait 15 minutes and shampoo well.
Homemade Hot oil treatment #3
Beat together 1 egg, 1 tsp. vinegar and 2 tsp. coconut oil. Massage into the scalp. Comb evenly through hair and leave for 15 minutes before washing.
Homemade Hot oil treatment #4
Mix 2 tsp. of coconut oil with 1 tsp. of lime juice and massage into the scalp and rinse.
Why do these ingredients work?
Raw Apple-Cider Vinegar : Adding a little bit of raw apple-cider vinegar to the deep-conditioning hair treatment provides an astringent effect; it works by tightening the cuticle, giving tresses shine and silkiness. In addition, it helps to ensure that the ingredients blend well.
Coconut oil : It is an excellent conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged hair. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair.
Egg yolks : These contain large amounts of lecithin and supply valuable conditioners that don’t weigh down the hair. The scalp, too, can benefit from the lecithin, as it is very nourishing for the skin.
Olive oil : A wonderful ingredient for conditioning and nourishing normal hair.
Avocado : Use these for hydrating benefits and proteins.

Fall Skin Renewal with Microneedling and PRP is the perfect way to trade in that summer glow (and sun damage) for a fresh, radiant complexion. After months of UV exposure, sweat, and environmental stress, your skin deserves a reset—and Microneedling with PRP is the ultimate treatment to kickstart your fall skin renewal. This collagen-boosting treatment combines the power of microneedling with your body’s own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to accelerate healing, improve texture, and leave your skin visibly smoother and firmer. Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, sun damage, or uneven tone, fall is the perfect time to invest in your skin and reveal a more youthful, refreshed look. What is Microneedling with PRP? Microneedling with PRP is a next-level skin rejuvenation treatment that harnesses your body’s natural healing abilities to improve texture, tone, and overall skin health. During the treatment, a specialized device creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering collagen and elastin production—two key proteins responsible for maintaining a firm, youthful complexion. What makes this treatment even more powerful is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) . Derived from your own blood, PRP is packed with growth factors that accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance results. By infusing PRP into the skin after microneedling, we supercharge the regeneration process, leading to faster recovery, deeper hydration, and a more radiant glow compared to microneedling alone. Why Fall is the Best Time for Microneedling with PRP? Fall is the perfect time to invest in microneedling with PRP, giving your skin the reset it needs after months of summer sun. With less UV exposure, your skin can heal more effectively without the added risk of sun damage, making it an ideal season for treatments that promote regeneration. This time of year is also key for reversing the effects of summer—think sunspots, uneven texture, and dehydration caused by heat and environmental stress. Plus, starting your treatments in the fall means you’ll be glowing just in time for the holiday season, ensuring your skin looks its best for upcoming gatherings and events! What Microneedling with PRP Can Do for Your Skin Microneedling with PRP is a versatile treatment that can address a wide range of skin concerns. It’s particularly effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture, and helping to fade acne scars. If you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation or sun damage from the summer, this treatment can also work wonders in evening out your skin tone and brightening your complexion. Microneedling also helps to minimize enlarged pores and promotes overall skin rejuvenation by boosting collagen production. This treatment creates micro-injuries in the skin, and we apply PRP to accelerate healing and enhance results. While there may be some mild redness immediately afterward, downtime is minimal, and you can expect gradual improvement in your skin’s texture and appearance over several weeks. With a series of treatments, you’ll see optimal results, leaving you with smooth, youthful, and glowing skin. Ready to Refresh Your Skin? If you’re ready to refresh your skin and bring back that glow, microneedling with PRP is the perfect solution to address post-summer skin concerns. At Belladerm MedSpa, our experienced professionals are here to guide you through the process and ensure you get the best results. Whether you’re looking to reverse sun damage, smooth fine lines, or boost collagen production, this treatment is tailored to meet your skin’s needs. Don’t wait for the holidays to enjoy healthy, glowing skin — schedule your consultation today and take the first step towards a radiant complexion! Let us help you achieve smoother, more youthful skin this season.

When it comes to achieving a youthful appearance, many people turn to injectables like Botox and dermal fillers. While these treatments are excellent for smoothing wrinkles and restoring lost volume, they’re just part of the puzzle. Beyond Botox and filler, the ultimate formula for a youthful glow lies in combining injectables with professional skincare and aesthetic treatments. Healthy, radiant skin provides the foundation for truly transformative results, ensuring your wrinkle-free look is as vibrant and natural as possible. Why Healthy Skin Complements Injectables While injectables smooth lines and restore volume, they can’t improve the overall condition of your skin. Your skin’s texture, tone, and hydration are essential for that refreshed, youthful look. Consider these key points: Texture and tone matter: Wrinkle-free skin can still look dull or uneven if it isn’t being cared for properly. Hydration is key: Dermal fillers work best when paired with hydrated, healthy skin. Longevity of results: Professional skincare and treatments enhance and maintain your injectable results over time. When your skin is glowing and healthy, your injectables look more natural, and the results are elevated. The Perfect Pair: Injectables + Aesthetic Treatments At Belladerm MedSpa, we recommend combining treatments for the ultimate results. Here’s why: Injectables like Botox and Fillers are perfect for smoothing lines and restoring youthful contours. Aesthetic treatments, such as HydraFacial , deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin, leaving it plump and radiant. Professional skincare products provide daily maintenance, protecting your investment and addressing concerns like uneven tone and fine lines. By combining these treatments, you’re treating both the structure of your face and the surface of your skin for a comprehensive, youthful glow.

When it comes to filler, it’s not just about treating existing wrinkles — it’s also about preventing them. Preventative filler is a concept that’s growing in popularity, especially for those in their 20s and 30s who want to maintain youthful volume and slow down the aging process. By strategically placing filler in key areas, you can help keep your skin looking youthful for years to come, avoiding the need for more invasive treatments later. In this blog, we’ll dive into why starting early with preventative filler can be the secret to natural-looking, age-defying beauty for years down the line. What Is Preventative Filler? Preventative filler refers to the use of dermal fillers before significant signs of aging appear. Instead of waiting for deep lines and volume loss to set in, younger patients use small amounts of filler to maintain facial structure, correct early asymmetries, and subtly enhance features. It’s a proactive approach to aesthetics—think of it as skincare’s more advanced cousin. The Goal: Maintain, Not Change One of the biggest misconceptions about filler is that it dramatically alters your appearance. But when used preventatively and skillfully, filler simply supports what’s already there. By addressing volume loss before it becomes pronounced, filler helps preserve facial harmony and balance over time. The result? A look that stays refreshed and natural, not overdone. Where Is Preventative Filler Typically Placed? While every face is different, common areas for preventative filler include: Cheeks: To maintain youthful contour and support under the eyes Under-eyes (tear troughs): To soften early hollowness or darkness Lips: To enhance shape and hydration without dramatic plumping Nasolabial folds: To smooth subtle lines before they deepen Chin or jawline: To define structure and prevent sagging The key is a conservative approach — small, subtle enhancements designed to age with you gracefully. The Long-Term Benefits Starting early can mean needing fewer products and fewer treatments in the long run. Preventative filler helps: Slow the visible effects of aging Preserve facial structure and symmetry Reduce the likelihood of deep-set lines or drastic volume loss Extend the time between more involved treatments It’s a long game, and one that pays off with consistently smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Filler That Evolves With You Your face changes over time, and your filler strategy should too. Preventative filler isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It evolves based on your age, goals, and lifestyle. At Belladerm MedSpa, our expert injectors take the time to understand your facial anatomy and create a customized treatment plan that supports your natural beauty every step of the way.
