Talking About Thinning

Last Week,  We talked about hairstyles for women experienceing thinning but this week let's elaborate on the condition of thinning.


 Thinning is when you experience hair loss from the root which is different from breakage.

If you relate to this experience, its important to know what is causing thinning to occur, what you should be aware of and what solutions are right for you.

The causes of thinning can be:

          - Stress

          - side effects of certain medication

          - Hormonal Changes

          - Disease


Take the time to assess the root causes for what you are experiencing and know that there are natural hair care solutions that will stimulate hair growth.

Here are are some more tips for addressing, assessing thinning and stimutating hair growth.

- Check the side effects of your medication and discuss with your doctor about the side effects you re experienceing.

- Evaluate your Stress. Uncontrol stress can effect our body, mind and spirit. Seek guidance when stress get out of control.

 - Sleep on Satin Pillow cases

- Avoid Tight Protective Styling

 - Use our Botanical hairdress on your Thinning areas and massage into the scalp.

How to Get the Most of Your Organic Hair Souffle

Hello Radiant Beauties,

I wanted to stop by and give you all an afternoon tip:

We just recently had the Organic Hair Souffle Event, which was awesome and exciting! So, now that you have your product, I want to be sure you are getting the best possible results.

One of the best things about the Organic Hair Souffle is that a little goes a long way. Though, you may be inclined to use a hefty amount, fight the urge.

I suggest:

1. Misting the hair with a light herbal mist such as the Indigofera Hydrating Mist. 
2. Section the hair into manageable sections. Mist again if needed.
3. Take a quarter-sized amount, less depending on the size of the section. Rub it in the palms, began applying to hair from root to ends. Ensure total coverage by combing your fingers through the section. Repeat on each section.
4. Follow up with a finishing oil such as the Nourishing Hair Serum to seal in the moisture. 
5. Style as desired.
6. Look Radiant!

Share those beautiful styles with us by connecting with Indigofera on Facebook and Twitter.

Be radiantly Beautiful,

I am in my thirties, and I wear sheer foundation, mascara and lipstick for a daytime look. Sometimes my skin looks dull and gets a little dry around the nose. What can I do keep my skin healthy and soft?


Answer:


Great question,


Good skin care is important to keep your complexion radiant. Remember to cleanse your skin twice daily, remove your mascara with a gentle eye makeup remover and moisturize your face and neck with a plant based antioxidant rich ingredients. I recommend Indigofera Hydrating Skin Crème it is formulated with twelve organic botanicals , jojoba, grapeseed, and avocado as the perfect moisturizer for healthy skin. Wear it bare or as a primer for flawless makeup.Apply daily for noticeably smoother, softer, and younger looking skin in just 4 weeks. Hydrating Skin Crème absorbs quickly and lasts all day long

Plant based benefits.
Organic Chamomile: proven to have anti-inflammatory healing benefits.
Organic Aloe: used to soothe and calm your skin.
Organic Green Tea: an expert antioxidant to fight age and skin damage.

The Best Finds in Exclusive Beauty Products

The Best Finds in Exclusive Beauty Products

In this new day and age it is hard to ignore all of the many advances that have been made in skin, body, and hair care products. If you happen to be one of the many female consumers that is challenged by the rigors of locating the ideal product for you, then please read on because this helpful guide will walk you through some of the best and upcoming beauty products out there for you today!

It is easy to understand the phrase "you are what you eat", but keep in mind that the products that you put on your face will also affect your health, as they are readily absorbed into your circulatory and nervous system. That changes your tune a little, doesn't it? That is precisely why it is so important to be selective in the products that you apply to your face, body, and hair, and to look for plant based solutions with certified organic ingredients to promote overall wellness and health. In the new natural and organic market, there are so many fresh choices rising up that you can customize in any way to treat your skin and hair.

In skin care, remember that green tea is a major antioxidant on the rise that plays a large role in modern skin care products. Green tea has been applauded for its healing properties, as well as the fact that it is a vasodilator that will tighten and constrict skin because of the caffeine within it. What more can you ask for? Other vital skin and body care ingredients are Vitamin C and hibiscus flower, with the latter being rich in Alpha Hydroxy Acids and amino acids to have a tightening affect on the skin without over drying. Select skin and body care products that focus on aromatherapy as a means to soothe, rejuvenate, and hydrate your tired skin by using the finest quality of essential oils that are produced.

Natural hair care is also quite important, as hair damage is exacerbated and enhanced by using low quality and harsh products that will further strip the hair of its natural oils and shine. Rather than using chemical rich products found in many grocery stores, focus on natural oils added to your hair care products like aloe vera, coconut oil and avocado oil. Also look for mango butter and shea butter for natural healing and a fatty acid content to prevent dryness and breakage in your hair by nourishing, moisturizing, and literally replenishing the hair follicle. Other new ingredients in exclusive hair care products, like lemongrass, lavender, and peppermint, benefit the hair by using a holistic method to invigorate the hair with fresh scents and aromatherapy.

I hope this was helpful in introducing many of the new choices in natural and organic skin and hair care products available! Do not settle for less than a nourishing and restoring line of products that will exceed your expectations. Natural skin and hair care products can be tailored to meet all of your needs in a way that cannot be found just anywhere. Sophisticated natural products that have the highest quality reflect your class and taste, and they also will give you the longest lasting results for your skin and hair.
