How to Mascara Application Hack For Applying Wet Formula Mascaras

August 25, 2017 · 8 Comments

Wayne Goss has such great makeup application techniques and recently gave this simple but highly useful tip for How to Mascara Application Hack For Applying Wet Formula Mascaras:

bend the mascara wand before completely pulling it out of the tube, so the wand is at an angle.

Angled mascara brushes are not a new concept, some mascara brands even have built-in angled brushes. The angle does make an impressive difference in both control of where you apply the product and importantly, how much produce is distributed, especially getting in nice and close to the lashline.

Our Experience

We tried the Mascara Application hack for ourselves, and it is actually pretty amazing on getting mascara right in close at the lash line, especially on the lower lashes, the shorter “arm” to the handle makes a difference in how much control there is in the application.

STYLECHICKS ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS

Three additional suggestions to make the most of this mascara application hack:

Bend a disposable mascara wand for optimal control and to get in close on bottom lashes

Use Disposable Wands: Instead of using the wand that comes with your mascara, use disposable mascara wands. They are very inexpensive at places like Amazon and Sallys Beauty Supply (under $10 for like 200 of them). The disposable wands are a cheaper plastic and often more flexible, thereby less subject to breaking off the wand head by accident. This way, you can bend your wand without fear of breaking it off and getting stuck, leaving you with no cap for your mascara.
Try angles other than just a 70 to 90-degree angle: You can shape the brush of your disposable mascara wand into other shapes including a c-shape to reinforce the curling capability of your wand.
Curve a disposable wand into a c-shape to enhance the curl of top lashes
FAN YOUR LASHES OUT. It is easier to manipulate the thin brush handle of a disposable wand between your fingers, so let the brush do the work to reduce smudges and fan out lashes. Rotate the thin arm between your forefinger and thumb to move the brush head so that the angle faces outward instead of inward in order to “fan out” the outer lashes, then give them one last brush forward.
CLEAN UP: You can even follow up with a clean disposable mascara wand for combing out any clumps or to get the direction of lashes just the way you would like it. Just hold the clean wand in front of your lashes and blink through the comb to remove clumps.

SIDE BONUS: Disposable mascara wands give much better control and product distribution for very wet mascaras or mascaras with fibers such as Too Faced Better Than Sex, Benefit BADgal, DiorShow, and Urban Decay Perversion Mascaras, to name a few.

Wet mascaras like Benefit BadGal and UD Perversion apply more evenly but with all the glamour when using a bent disposable mascara wand

MagiForet 400ML Wood Grain Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser

August 24, 2017 · Leave a Comment

An essential oil diffuser is a wonderful way to enjoy aromatherapy in an office, spa, yoga studio or home. Diffusers can disperse invigorating essential oil scents to uplift a mood or energize you during a workout, they can provide calming aromas for sleep, or scents to improve mental clarity while working in a stale, dry office environment with forced air. Most diffusers are not very attractive or have a capacity large enough to use overnight, which is why we love the MagiForet Wood Grain Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser: it holds a whopping 400ml of water for 14 hours of continuous use, it has a unique 7 outlet misting mechanism and it’s an attractive piece that doesn’t have to be hidden away.

MagiForet Wood Grain Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser looks attractive with any decor

WHY USE AN AROMATHERAPY ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER

Aromatherapy has long been known to enhance many activities including better sleep, improving mental clarity, easing anxiety, and it can lift a mood to increase energy levels and productivity. When combined with the ultrasonic cool mist humidifier feature of the MagiForet diffuser, it adds moisture to the air making it easier to breathe in an overly-dry bedroom for better sleep or even regulate the air in your cubicle or office at work.

Diffuse the essential oil of your choice in the MagiForet diffuser. I like Rosemary for mental clarity while working, lemon in the kitchen, peppermint while working out, sweet orange to air out a stale room

DIFFUSE ENERGIZING OILS AT WORK OR IN A HOME OFFICE

Do you have an afternoon energy slump at the office? Mid-afternoon I feel so tired that I need yet another cup of coffee when I’ve already had too much coffee already that day. Diffusing an energizing essential oil discretely in my office space both adds some moisture to the forced-air dry office environment and can diffuse an energizing essential oil such as peppermint, lemon or Rosemary. I diffuse Peppermint for energy, lemon to lift a mood, and Rosemary to improve concentration and mental clarity while working on a project.

The same holds true for a yoga workout or even to motivate myself to do pilates, or use my treadmill or stationary bike at home: if I find myself lacking the energy or desire to workout, I try diffusing an essential oil that can energize me such as Peppermint or Eucalyptus.

WHAT MAKES FOR A QUALITY DIFFUSER?

There are many diffusers on the market, how do you find a good one? I like one that has a large capacity so it doesn’t need constant refills, I prefer the cool mist is distributed evenly without dribbling water onto the surface underneath it, I like it to have an auto-shut off feature so I can use it overnight without worrying about risk if it runs out of the water. I like one with an even steam output, a nice long cord, and preferably, that it’s attractive enough to just leave out as part of my decor. All of this criterion is met in the MagiForet Diffuser.

FAVORITE STANDOUT MAGIFORET FEATURE: SUPERIOR DIFFUSING WITH A MULTI OUTLET DESIGN

I like the design of multiple mist outlet holes across the top of the diffuser with seven strong streams of mist to disperse across a larger area at once.

Shark mouth Shape with 7 mist outlets diffuse more moisture in finer mists than one hole diffusers

It can cover a room up to 270-375 square feet (25-35 square meters), far superior to most diffusers, even ones larger in size. The mist evaporates into the air, improving the air quality in overly dry rooms, but the mist is a steady light mist, so that nearby objects to not become soaked with water, as can happen with some humidifiers.

Seven diffusing outlets provide an even, steady cool mist

FEATURE OVERVIEW AT A GLANCE

CAPACITY

Large 400ML capacity (over 13 1/2 ounces) suitable for home, yoga studios, spas, and offices. This is enough to last overnight and then some. When you are sick and congested and want to use this to diffuse moisture and congestion-clearing Eucalyptus into the air, this diffuser gives plenty of hours of use off of one fill. Despite the large size capacity, it doesn’t have a huge footprint on a nightstand or desk.

The diffuser comes with a measuring water cup for easy refill

AUTO SHUT OFF SAFETY FEATURE

The Auto-shut off feature is an important feature because if it runs out of water, it won’t stay on, so there is no risk of it overheating. making it safe to use the diffuser overnight or leaving it in a child’s room.

ULTRASONIC COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER

The Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier feature provides a consistent, even, drip-free steady and strong flow of cooling mist into the air.

MULTIPLE TIMER SETTINGS

There are four different timer settings for different purposes including for use during a workout session, to dissipate cooking odors for a few hours after dinner, for a soothing at home spa-night, or even for use overnight. They are one hour, three hours, six hours and continuous on mode.

Clear timer options of one, three, six hours or continuous mist and the colored light work independently

SOFT LED LIGHT COLOR CHOICES

There are seven LED soft light colors that display in a horizontal band, under the display buttons, and can be seen on aerial view through the steam outlets.

Blue color LED light option

The mist and light work independently: you can choose mist only with the LED light option off as seen here

QUIET

This diffuser is silent, so it does not disrupt sleep, and it is suitable for an office or a spa or massage therapy office.

ATTRACTIVE WOOD GRAIN

The wood grain on this is quite nice, it does NOT look like a thin veneer of wood over plastic, it’s a sturdy piece with a beautiful grain that fits the decor of a natural looking space such as a spa or yoga studio, it would look lovely in a kitchen to diffuse an essential oil to dissipate cooking odors, it fits in with a traditional or bedroom decor and it would look good in an office as it has an expensive look and feel to it.

Attractive wood grain design

MAKES FOR A GOOD GIFT

It comes boxed and is suitable for gift giving. It is sturdy construction with padded rubber feet on the base to protect both the diffuser and the surfaces it rests upon, so you can be assured the gift recipient will get years of use from this thoughtful gift.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE MAGIFORET DIFFUSER

It is easy to figure out how to plug it in and add water to the fill line. Add a few drops of the essential oil of your choice, put the top back on, and select the timer setting of your choice. The easy to read buttons are back lit by the LED colored light.

The LED color display is attractive and soothing, it adds a soft glow to the room that is relaxing when used at night, providing a bit of light to a dark room without being disruptive to sleep. It is a thin band of a gradient of color as it changes from shade to shade as a soft glow. It is not bright enough to be a true night light, but enough light to orient you in a dark room if you awake during the night.

I really like the design of how it disperses the cool mist through multiple outlets, not only is it functional in that it distributes steam into the air more evenly and quickly, it’s pretty to watch the swirling tendrils of steam dissipate into the air!

Swirly tendrils of mist fill the air with cool moisturizing mist and essential oils

There is absolutely no water spurting out or wet spots when using this diffuser. The essential oil aroma dispersion is even, and it is not overly strong or pungent yet the scent can still be detected.

CONCLUSION

Sturdy, attractive, and functional, the MagiForet 400ML Wood Grain Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser provides an even, steady stream of cool mist to add moisture to an overly dry room or office with the option of LED soft colored light to add a soothing glow to the ambiance. I find this ideal for using in a bedroom, or to diffuse lemon oil in a kitchen after cooking or just to freshen the house if the home smells stale. If you are going to give a diffuser as a gift to an essential oil loving friend, this makes for a great one because it is so attractive, sturdy and versatile.

Summer Moscow Mule Recipe: Wild Raspberry & Watermelon Featuring the Kamojo Moscow Mule Copper Flutes Set

August 19, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Looking for the perfect drink for an end of summer party or festive occasion? There are always the quintessential classics, but it’s fun to customize some drinks with a new, signature twist. Summer is filled with such luscious fruits, the perfect opportunity to change up some of our favorites! One drink that’s especially adaptable is the Moscow Mule. You only need a few key elements for a successful Moscow Mule, and the rest of the ingredients allow for creativity and customization. Our current Moscow Mule obsession? Raspberry Watermelon Moscow Mules! See our recipe below.

The inspiration for this summer drink comes from two things: the wild raspberries are out in full force the garden this time of year, and we want an excuse to use our new pure copper Kamojo Moscow Mule Copper Flutes Set

Serve an end-of-summer Moscow Mule in these Kamojo Copper Champagne Flutes

WHY A PURE COPPER DRINKING VESSEL IS IMPORTANT FOR MOSCOW MULES

While you can serve a Moscow Mule in just about any kind of glass, copper is preferable. I prefer the Kamojo Moscow Mules because the pure copper has a tarnish resistant coating, so they stay beautiful and shiny without having to polish them, making them easy to clean. We previously touted what we love about the classic mug style Kamojo Moscow Mules in a beginning of summer Moscow Mule recipe, Kamojo also makes a copper champagne flute set for a festive, more formal, or celebratory event.

Kamojo Moscow Mule Copper Flute

I also like the pretty hammered pure copper with its’ tarnish-resistant high-shine and the beautiful shape, it adds something to the overall visual appeal of the drink and looks so distinctive!

The beautiful hammered copper pattern

The hammered copper of the Kamojo Champagne Flutes looks beautiful in many festive occasion tablescape color palettes

What’s a good type of drink to serve in a copper champagne flute? As a rule: if it’s bubbly or fizzy – copper kicks that carbonated or bubbly action it up a notch: any seltzer, soda, beer and of course, champagne or prosecco. Also, if it’s a drink best served cold, copper is your best bet.

The reason for this is copper does two things: it quickly makes cold ingredients colder, and bubbly ingredients bubblier. That’s why a copper vessel is a key to a good Moscow Mule, especially for a summertime drink.

Pure copper immediately chills the drink and keeps it cold on contact

Copper also enhances the flavor of some ingredients, enhancing the crisp, citrus and sour notes of go-to ingredients like ginger, lime, and cucumbers.

The pure copper in the Kamojo Moscow Mule Copper Flutes Set enhances the flavors of mint, berries, lime, and ginger and even makes vodka taste better

INGREDIENT CHOICES

A key ingredient to a Moscow Mule is ginger beer. Ginger adds the kick to the mule and is generally obtained from ginger beer or in a pinch, a quality brewed ginger ale. The ginger ale is sweeter, the ginger beer is tarter and for some, might need the addition of simple syrup. I also like to add a thin slice of fresh ginger as part of a garnish or muddled at the bottom of the drinking vessel, or if you prefer your drinks a bit sweeter, a ginger simple syrup can be used.

Copper enhances the taste of fresh ginger and ginger beers and ginger ales

FRUITY INCLUSION OPTIONS

Lime and ginger are the core classics of the mule, and plenty of fruits taste great with both of them.

Copper enhances the lime and berries taste and increases carbonation of ginger beers and ales

Store bought and wild raspberries are abundant and delicious this time of year.

Reed’s brews both a gluten-free ginger beer and ginger ales with real cane sugar and they are pretty good in mules. Their raspberry ginger ale has all the kick and fizzy features of a ginger beer. Raspberry Ginger Beer or Ale makes sense in a mule, as so many of the ingredients in a Moscow Mule taste great with raspberries: raspberry and lime, raspberry and mint, raspberry and ginger. But it still needs something to make it more summer, and a bit juicer and sweeter: like watermelon!

Ice cold Ginger Beer or Ale blends well with summer fruits and vodka

Raspberry Ginger Ale or Beer brews taste great in a fruity Moscow Mule when paired with fresh berries, mint, and lime

But lots of fruit combinations work: blackberries, lime, plum or pear and cantaloupe is a delicious alternative option, the cantaloupe and plum sweetly temper the ginger and the blackberries add a nice sweet but tart note. Or another option that goes surprisingly well with the ginger is lemon and fig!

Cantaloupe mellows the sharp ginger and citrus notes, mint and blackberries add a subtle sweet taste to the blend

Substitute cantaloupe juice for watermelon juice in the recipe below, and pair it with blackberries

Cantaloupe and blackberries paired with lime, mint and ginger taste wonderful in a copper flute

Summer fruits peak Ginger Beers and Ales and contrast nicely with the citrus flavor of the lime. Any berry works wonderfully to add some flavor to this traditional drink

THE STYLE CHICKS WILD RASPBERRY MELON END OF SUMMER MOSCOW MULE RECIPE

Just in time for your final farewell end-of summer soirees, summer picnics, a signature drink for summer weddings and celebrations, and for your end of summer blowouts.

Ready to make a summer fruit Moscow Mule?

INGREDIENTS:

crushed or soft ice (see recipe below)
Wild or purchased raspberries (or blackberries if preferred)
watermelon
mint sprigs
2 ounces vodka
4 ounces of ginger beer or tart ginger ale (we chose Reed’s Brewed Raspberry Ginger Ale and skipped the simple syrup)
3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
fresh ginger (optional)
1/4 ounce simple syrup (optional)

Summer watermelon, fresh ginger, lime, combined with raspberries and mint fresh from the garden make for tasty combination

DIRECTIONS

Juice the limes. Set aside remaining lime slices for garnishing.
Make watermelon juice. Put watermelon chunks in a blender, discard pulp if desired, pour the juice into a jar or glass, put aside.
Muddle together a few raspberries, and lightly press a mint leaf and a thin slice of ginger (if desired). Pour the resulting mix into the copper mule.
Add the lime juice over the muddled mix.
Fill mule champagne with crushed or slushie ice, over the muddled mix. Halfway through adding ice, I like to toss in a few more berries and then another squeeze of the lime to fully infuse the drink.
Add the vodka
Add the melon juice
Add the ginger beer
Add simple syrup if desired for sweetness
Garnish with plenty of fresh mint sprigs, berries, lime or even a small watermelon wedge if desired!

Garnish with plenty of mint sprigs!

ALTERNATIVES

Some may prefer a “neater” approach to mix the lime juice, vodka, melon juice, and in a shaker with the spent limes and giving the mix a good shake, then pour that shaker mix through a strainer into the ice filled mule glass, and then add the ginger beer to the mule.
Adjust measurements to taste, some extra lime particularly enhances the berries and watermelon!

Extra lime enhances the berry and watermelon flavors, we added a halved lime to each mule

SOFT ICE

Notice reference to soft ice above. Soft ice is not as hard as ice cubes, but harder than slushie ice. It is often served at Drive-In type restaurants, which remind me of the summers of my youth.

Due to the lovely flute shape of the Kamojo Moscow Mule Copper Flutes Set, you may prefer crushed or soft ice. It is easy to make yourself at home with a big bottle of carbonated water like seltzer water.

Fill smaller to medium-size ice-cube trays with the seltzer, let them set a few hours. Right before using them, give them one or two hard whacks to break them up a bit. While soft ice tends to melt quickly in a regular drink, the copper mules keep them suspended in soft ice form for much longer without melting.

CONCLUSION

So many events and milestones are worth celebrating, engagements, promotions, graduations, weddings, just to name a few. Champagne is often the go-to libation for celebrating, but it is fun to change it up a bit with a mule themed drink, and it still feels festive and celebratory when served in Kamojo Moscow Mule Copper Flutes Set.

A traditional bakery not far from the Yale University Campus, we get all our special occasion cakes here! From now on, any event or celebration worthy of a bakery cake qualifies as an excuse to use the Kamajo Copper Champagne Flutes

Kamajo Copper Champagne Flutes are ideal as wedding flutes for the bride and groom or even the entire bridal party, or to serve appetizers such as shrimp cocktail.

Summer fruit-filled Kamojo Copper Moscow Mules Champagne Flutes: Icy cold, satisfying, festive, and definitively summer!

LOMALUX DANDRUFF PILL What to Know

August 17, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Like many StyleChicks readers, you likely invest time, effort and money into your hair to make it look its’ best: cut, color, highlights, conditioning and quality-hair care products, tools and treatments that don’t damage your tresses. But fifty percent of people have some dandruff. Dandruff shampoos are brutally drying and damaging to hair and can undo the look of an otherwise well-maintained, healthy mane.

We take vitamins to improve our skin, how about a natural remedy for better scalp skin? Nobody thought of this until LomaLux invented the all-natural LomaLux Dandruff Pill.

“But I wash my hair anyway“, you may say, “Why not just use a dandruff shampoo?” There are beauty pitfalls to dandruff shampoos that compel us to opt for a dandruff pill as an alternative treatment to both better solve our flaky scalp woes *and* maintain our well-coiffed locks.

A BETTER SOLUTION

We tolerate dandruff shampoo due to a lack of options. Fortunately, LomaLux Dandruff Pill provides a natural alternative treatment for both dandruff and psoriasis plus the redness, itchiness, dry and tight-feeling scalp, and the inflammation associated with both conditions. This patented mineral technology safely and effectively stops dandruff in its’ itchy, flaky tracks.

Want a natural alternative to harsh and stinky dandruff shampoos? LomaLux Dandruff PIll is an all natural alternative remedy for the flaking and itchy scalp associated with dandruff.

ADVANTAGES OF LOMALUX OVER OTHER DANDRUFF REMEDIES

LomaLux controls dandruff without the drying and irritating effects of dandruff shampoos. It also tames psoriasis on the scalp that typically requires strong, expensive somewhat risky medications to treat, but without side effects. This natural remedy is steroid-free, gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan.

LomaLux is an all natural, vegan, lactose-free and gluten-free formula

THE PROBLEM WITH DANDRUFF & DANDRUFF SHAMPOOS

Most dandruff shampoos work on the premise that dandruff results from a yeast-like fungus on the scalp that in some people, causes overproduction of skin cells. These cells make itchy flakes that trap natural oils underneath. Trapped oils mean greasy roots and the actual hair isn’t getting the natural moisture it needs to stay youthful and healthy-looking. So now there are two problems: flaky, red, greasy, itchy scalp and overly dry, lifeless hair lacking naturally protective oils.

Our dandruff shampoo beauty grievances are three-fold:

WHY GOOD DANDRUFF SHAMPOO SMELLS SO BAD
To work, a dandruff shampoo must contain at least one of these ingredients: coal tar, zinc pyrithione, a sulfur/salicylic acid or ketoconazole. There’s no hiding or perfuming-up any of these effective but super smelly ingredients. You’ll smell like a dandruff-sufferer, likely even after rinsing the shampoo out.
DANDRUFF SHAMPOO DRIES & DAMAGES HAIR
These shampoos aggressively dry out scalp flakes and your hair along with it. Rehabilitating already natural-oil deprived hair from said shampoos is a tall order: if the shampoo is strong enough to treat dandruff, then hair has been weakened, stripped of moisture and left porous. Compensating conditioners like Coconut Oil also get on the scalp, and the oil barrier traps and feeds the dandruff problem.
DANDRUFF SHAMPOO: THE HAIR COLOR & HIGHLIGHTS LIFE-RUINER
A vicious cycle, coloring hair irritates the scalp and kicks dandruff into high gear. But dandruff shampoo strips hair dye color. DIY articles on how to remove unwanted hair color suggest using dandruff shampoo to deliberately strip the dye. Even if only used directly on the scalp, dandruff shampoo strips the roots, leaving hair color uneven.

HOW LOMALUX DANDRUFF PILLS WORK

LomaLux Dandruff Pills work like vitamins and are a natural remedy clinically proven to safely combat dandruff by stimulating the body’s healing response. A combination of mineral ingredients encourages the body to disrupt the cycle of too rapid cell-production that results in inflammation and flaking. Then the scalp can start to heal itself.

WHY CONSIDER A HOMEOPATHIC SOLUTION FOR DANDRUFF?

Homeopathy treats the person as a whole, if dandruff is due to other health problems, it treats the root of the problem, not just masks a symptom. The same health imbalance that causes dandruff can also be causing psoriasis, sensitive skin, eczema, or acne. Dandruff shampoo doesn’t address all of these, but homeopathic remedies do.

Natural, alternative remedy for stopping dandruff within 12 weeks

LOMALUX DANDRUFF PILL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

If one hasn’t had a homeopathic remedy before, the ingredient names likely sound unfamiliar. Even though they are low-dose, when combined in the right proportions, they can be a powerful remedy without risks. Here is what they are and what they do:

Kali Bromatum works on the bacteria that creates cysts and eruptions, notably, the itching, scaling, and redness associated with dandruff and psoriasis. When you feel an itchy, red pimple-like bump at the start of a psoriasis breakout, this is what Kali Bromatum tackles best to stop it.
Kali Muriaticum treats potassium deficiency, it works for the itching and burning sensation of hair follicles and reduces surrounding dry and white scales.
Kali Sulphuricum is a cell salt. Cell salts stimulate the body’s natural healing mechanisms by supplementing mineral deficiencies and imbalances. Frequently used to treat colds, it works for both flaking and reducing later stage inflammation, which helps break the dandruff cycle.
Natrum Muriaticum is sodium chloride or table salt. It regulates body fluid balances and reduces oily, itchy and burning scalp skin.
Sulphur a common component found in Biotin, it disrupts skin eruptions and inflammation associated with psoriasis and dandruff. Homeopathic remedy indicates that if your scalp feels particularly itchy at night or you are experiencing hair loss due to the severity of psoriasis or dandruff, then Sulphur is particularly helpful.
Calcarea Carbonica is calcium from oyster shells, it stops the white, crusty scales and helps the kind of dandruff where it hurts to comb your hair due to the sensitivity of the inflammation. Is often recommended homeopathically if the scalp feels itchy enough to scratch upon waking up in the morning.
Niccolum Sulphuricum is a form of sulphur that temporarily relieves the scaling, flaking, redness & itching associated with Psoriasis, Seborrheic Dermatitis, and Dandruff.

LomaLux Dandruff Pill Ingredients

Other ingredients include Fumaric acid, found in beverages, baking powders, and in pudding mixes. Fumaric acid esters have immunosuppression properties and are commonly used to treat psoriasis in several European countries.

Organic Spirulina Powder is an impressive natural algae that contains a host of vitamins and minerals important to hair and skin, including several immune boosting, dandruff fighting B vitamins.

THE HISTORY OF LOMALUX

LomaLux pills were developed by a dermatologist for his patients, and it proved a highly effective preventive measure. The LomaLux Dandruff Pill has been tested extensively in clinical studies with strict objective evaluation standards to determine efficacy. Visit their website to see links to published testing results.

DIRECTIONS

These pills are taken daily. How many pills you take is determined by your weight in order to provide you with customized results.

LomaLux has a customized dose determined by body weight

Swallow whole at bedtime or in the morning on an empty stomach. Do not eat or drink anything but water for 1 hour after taking.

RESULTS: PUTTING LOMALUX TO THE TEST

My dandruff tends to flare up after I color my hair. I tried a more expensive brand of dandruff shampoo, but it was still taking a toll on my hair, leaving it dry and rough.

I take 4 LomaLux pills daily, each night before bed. There is a slight blueberry taste. So far I have taken the pills for about a month and can start to see improvement in visible flaking and dry scalp so that I can stop using dandruff shampoo and use my preferred shampoo. I have not experienced side effects.

My customized LomaLux dose is four pills a day. They taste sweet like berries

The double-blind, placebo controlled clinical study, as published in Alternative Medicine Review, showed major improvement takes about ten weeks. For many, just breaking the dandruff cycle is enough to put an end to dandruff, dry scalp, oily roots and dry hair.

CONCLUSION

A natural remedy for the safe, effective treatment of dandruff and psoriasis, LomaLux Dandruff Pill is a low-dose homeopathic treatment that when taken daily, leads to a flake-free, healthy scalp. Suitable for teens and adults, LomaLux has none of the drying or irritating side-effects of dandruff shampoo on hair and you can use the shampoos, hair coloring, and styling products of your choice.

If you invest in your hair, don’t ruin it with harsh, drying dandruff shampoos, treat the problem at the source with a natural, safe remedy that works without damaging your hair or smelling of dandruff shampoo.

Wishing you a good hair day, every day!
