Unless you’re lucky enough to have touchably-soft hair with bombshell volume all year long, the impending dry and unforgiving cold winter weather is sure to put a cramp in your hair style. If you’re like me, by late autumn when all the leaves from the trees have fallen, your hair is also looking dull and dim and lacking its once spring-like bounce.
The secret to bouncy curls without any frizz lies in your hair routine. Here are some tips and tricks to keep that curly mane as gorgeous as ever…
A bit of moisture in the air and my hair goes poof, for I have been cursed with curly locks since the day I was born.

Bunching up your hair into a ponytail or under a scarf may take you through the day, but frizz needs to be tackled at the root itself.
Recent technological advances have paved the way for extracting oil from grape seeds that were once thought merely a useless byproduct by wine makers. While the benefits and uses of grapes have been touted for centuries, the lesser known benefits of grapeseed oil are also worthy of note. Today grapeseed oil is used in a number of beauty products, including hair care products, sunscreen, and moisturizing cream.
Getting your hair colored, whether you go to a conventional salon or prefer natural stay-at-home henna dyes, is a long, not to mention expensive, process. Who has time for daily maintenance following this already monthly dying routine?
When I first started practicing yoga, I was driven by both spiritual and emotional factors, but I also wasn’t getting any younger and felt the need to do what I could to maintain my physical body.
I had no idea how deep the practices would take me! Not only would they offer the realization that I was more than the physical, and that the physical body was a temple, they would also purify, rejuvenate and beautify this sacred vessel.
From this came the desire to care deeply for this temple my soul had been given and to make this devotion part of my daily yoga routine.
