Nak Aromas Hair Care Range

Ok - so every now and then you find a product so good that you want to have it's babies. Here is one I found.


My bestie gave me the 'Ends Therapy with Argan Oil" (right). Now my hair is fairly fragile - it's been permanently straightened AND I am a regular lap swimmer so it cops chlorine regularly. But HELLO aromas - when I wash my hair and pop through the ends therapy - I don't even have to straighten my hair it just sits perfectly. No crinkly dry bits, no flyaways... and it feels beautiful. I love it.

So I decided to get the rest of the range, including the intensive treatment bath (above left) - I usually use Kerastase Masquintense as my treatment, but this is just as good, smells BEAUTIFUL, and it is HALF THE PRICE. Boo yah.

The other product I got is the oil (below). I don't want to carry the tube of ends therapy to the pool with me (I like to pretend I'm not high maintenance) so the small bottle of oil is perfect sized. Works a charm.

So it's a product line that smells beautiful, is very reasonably priced, and WORKS. And it works really really well. That argan / moroccan oil - it's magic!

I absolutely love it.

Should be available at any Price Attack or Hairhouse Warehouse.

Regrowing Eyebrows

So... did anyone else go pluck-crazy in their yester-years and maybe now have slightly thinner eyebrows than they would like?

Surely I wasn't the only silly one... surely!

Well it happened... mine aren't super thin.. nor that terrible tadpole shape... but I have to fill them in a bit or else in photos I look like they are really sparse. So I was looking into how to regrow them or stimulate growth.

Consensus is... as with any hair growth... MASSAGE. Massaging the follicles helps stimulate your hair to grow. Brushing your hair is massage on your scalp as well, so that helps in the process.

The second, and combined option, was to put Castor Oil on your brows each night.

So that's what I've been doing.

Kind of rubbing them when I can... not too hard don't want them to fall out... and applying the castor oil with a cotton bud each night.
It's supposed to thicken them up too, as in the strands.

Ok so I've only been doing it for about a week and a half... I suspect that may not be long enough to see much improvement. But I swear it's working!!!!! I seem to have a lot more little hairs coming out where I used to have nothing.
As for the thickening... I'm not really sure. Maybe?

I'll keep trying this for a couple more weeks and pop an update in. So far so good! I think it will be more of an indicator when I get past the 8 week mark as that is the lifecycle of hair growth....

Fingers crossed!

Oil Cleansing Method

The Oil Cleansing Method... sometimes referred to as OCM... basically rubbing oil over your face and somehow it's a cleanse.

I know what you're thinking - how does that cleanse and surely that just pimples up your whole face.

Surprisingly no. It's supposed to be really great for blackheads and for making your face all soft and lush.

Does it? Well I don't really know. hahaha. Ok so I went to buy the oil - I read up on so many sites about what oils to get... castor oil seemed a main ingredient... but also Jojoba, grapeseed. So I planned to go and get the two main ones - castor oil and jojoba.

Castor oil I could get easily from the chemist... I think it was between $7 to $10? Maybe even a little more. Then when I went to get Jojoba oil from a health food store it was bloody expensive. Like $22 or something for a tiny bottle. So I looked around and found the Moo Goo one, which combines both of these, with a couple of the others that were in my "would be good to have but way too much effort to try to get them all" such as avocado oil and ricebran oil.

MooGoo one was I think somewhere between $20/$30? Could have even been less, I can't remember, but it was clearly just cheaper and easier for me to get that one rather than buy the rest separately and try to mix it up myself... and find something to put it in yada yada.

Ok so what you do is basically rub it all over your face (rub firmly on the blackhead areas) and then steam it for a bit... when I first started I did the sink full of hot water with a towel over my head... or else I used a hot face cloth on my face.... Now I'm quite lazy so I put it on for a while, then turn the shower on hot (before I get in), don't have the fan on... then switch it to normal heat to get in and let all the steam surround me. It's probably not as effective but yeh.. it's certainly easier.

Does it work.... again.... I don't really know. I didn't see any of the miraculous things other people mentioned, like "omg zero pores now" or "wow I could see the blackheads just come out". For me - yep I did definitely see that it cleansed my face better than normal cleanser. So that's a plus. I did also notice that if I didn't do it for a while... my face would go back to how it was.

So I guess it DOES work. But a couple of things to note. Don't do it every day... maybe once a week. Otherwise you get those really deeeeeeep painful pimples. No no no.
Also - it's not a miracle cream so don't expect too much.

Have I sold it to you? Probably not. hahaha Ok final word is yes it does cleanse your face quite well, and yes it does soften up your face, but no it is not a miracle cream.

I'll let you decide for yourself.
