How to get the permed and wavy hairstyle look without any heat or curling iron

Hello Beauties !! We all love wavy hair, curly, permed hair ... And we use curlers with lot of heat to do it. Sometimes we don't spray the heat resistant spray. Today lets see how to get the below hairstyles with just paper and a hairpin or a knot.

Things needed : 

Papers, hair pins (optional)

How to get the look of permed hair like the 1st picture (Above) ?? 

If you need a permed hair look like the 1st picture above, then wet your hair or you can do this after you shampoo your hair. Split two sides of your hair and take some, now twist your hair as the below picture (Note : This is for hair to look like the 1st picture above). With a paper (Normal news paper will do), try to fold your hair until it reaches half (I folded completely). Now with the two ends of the paper tie a knot if you feel the paper is light and it might tear then keep the two ends crossed and put a hair pin there. Repeat the same steps until you are done. Leave it for four hours. Gently remove the pin and it will look like below picture. Now comb your hair as usual to get the look !!


How to get the look of wavy hair ??

So there is a simple difference to get a wavy hair. Shampoo your hair and dry it off well. (Note : You can do it wet if you want). Now do not twist your hair and just fold it with the news paper and leave it on the hair for 4 hours. So you are done with the wavy hair look.

Here are simple and best methods to follow before you apply makeup on your face.


  • Cleansing the face is the first step. When you cleanse it make sure you don't make your face dry. Use a cleanser which leaves a moisturized look to your face. 
  • Next use milk with cotton and wipe all your face for dry skinned beauties. For oily skinned beauties use rose water and wipe it on your face. 
  • Use ice cubes in round circles all over your face and neck. Do not leave your neck because your face and neck should look in same color. Doing this step will make your makeup look fresh and glowing.
  • Now if you have five more minutes use a good face pack. You can use face pack bought from shop or you can do it homemade. Few simple homemade packs are using fresh cucumber mixed with honey, fresh papaya with honey or you can just massage with cut bananas for 5 minutes.

Potato is one of the best medicine for black spots. Just cut the potatoes in to half and rub it gently on your black spots continuously for few days and your black spots are gone. Its great for dark circles around your eyes and for sun tan.

(Note : Sensitive skinned beauties and Beauties with more pimples, you will feel a burning sensation if you use this)


Poppy seed (khus khus) powder mixed with lemon juice and applying it on your pimples or black spot will fade it.

Magic of Mashed Cucumber around your eyes with pictures

Hello let's see today a real time example of how cucumber helped me to improve my dark circles and look of the eyes with my first application !!

We do different eye makeup's with different shades on our eyes everyday. Though we remove the eye makeup with care our eyes have dark circles, wrinkles and it seems to look stressed out at times due to our busy life. 

I tried this cucumber pack which you don't need to buy outside. You just want only one small cucumber to fade away your dark circles and wrinkles. You should use this continuously at-least weekly once or twice to see better results. This pack not only improves your look of eyes but also relaxes and makes your eyes feel really cool. 


How to Prepare :

  • Choose a fresh cucumber and peel off the skin. 
  • Cut it and nicely mash it well in a blender. Do not add water to it as cucumber itself has water content in it.
  • You can apply yourself or you can get help from your husband, mom or dad :-)
  • Close both your eyes and apply the pack. Try to have your eyes closed when you apply.
  • Wait for 15 minutes. During this time you will feel your eyes relaxed and calm.
  • After 15 minutes wash it off by giving a nice massage around your eyes.
  • Wipe it with a towel. 
Picture shows what happened with my eyes before and after applying the pack :

And now go to the mirror and check how cool your eyes look. With one application you may see a good difference but have this as a weekly regime and do it so your eyes looks fresh with no dark circles and no wrinkles.
