All of us know that a moisturiser is the saviour of dry and lifeless skin. Just like that, Desi Curly says that you can apply leave – conditioner aka the hair moisturiser to the mid-lengths and ends of hair. It will moisturise, revitalise and refresh the curls. What’s more is that it also leaves the curls soft, shiny, bouncy and strong! To go to the video, click here.

From detangling to rehydrating your curls, a hair mask is a rejuvenator. There are two types of hair masks – protein based masks and pure moisture masks. The protein based masks work best for hair that needs strengthening due to damage caused by bleaching and hair dyes. And moisture marks helps with dry curly hair to rehydrate.
CurlieNish brings you “superfood for curly hair.” If you are a DIY fanatic, you can always mix up your own hair masks! Here’s a little help for you to get along with that.
Don’t get disheartened with those apparently dead curls’ reflection on the mirror. Elizabeth Alex, or HonestLizHere will help you out with getting defined curls.

Yes, I know that it is not possible to air dry every time you wash your hair, thus, diffuser comes handy. It is believed that air drying lets the hair soak all the nutrients from the products applied.
But you can always substitute air – drying with a diffuser attachment, which helps to disperse the air flow of a hair dryer. This results in less frizz and no disturbance in the hair pattern.
HonestLizHere also has some say in air – drying vs. diffuser.
Styling curly hair can be a real pain in the butt. To help you with quick and easy hair up-dos, ChicMedusa has quite a few posts to help you with that.

I know you must be thinking that your hair is already curly, and why on earth am I asking you to use the curling iron! Keep aside this prejudice, get a curling iron that matches your curl’s diameter because it helps a lot to give a finishing touch to your hair style.
Colouring and highlighting the hair can create some damage. Pick up the iron and curl your way through! It will help you get defined curls and give your hair a more uniform look.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
