Ever look at your hair and feel it’s dull and lacking that beautiful luster? No matter how hard you try to get it to shine, it just looks flat. There is a very real possibility that it’s the water you are using to shampoo your hair.  Many of us deal with hard water conditions when we shower and don’t think much of it. But the effects of hard water on hair can cause more damage than you may realize. Here’s an in-depth look at what hard water does to your hair and how to repair and prevent the damage.  Is Hard Water Bad for Your Hair? Absolutely. There is no other way to say it. Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can leave a residue on the hair and scalp. This can lead to issues like dryness, brittleness, and dullness of the hair. Additionally, the mineral buildup can also interfere with the effectiveness of hair products and make it harder to achieve your favorite hairstyle. Let’s take a deeper look at the effects of hard water on your hair.  What Does Hard Water Do To Your Hair? The most common consequences of washing your hair with hard water are the following.  Fades Color For those of us that invest in our hair and spend money on coloring, hard water can be our sworn enemy. Hard water can fade the hue or coloring of the hair very quickly. Worse than just a fade, depending on how much exposure to hard water a particular spot is getting, it can lead to uneven hair coloring.  Dry, Flaky, or Greasy Scalp When using hard water to wash our hair, the scalp can start to feel dry, flaky, or greasy. It’s also possible to have a combination of all three, which can feel the worst. When our scalp is dried out and starts to flake, our body thinks it needs to make up in oil. This can lead to the greasy overproduction of oil. Dandruff can often result from this as well. Flat and Dull Appearance The chemicals and deposits from hard water break down the nutrients in our hair and strip it of its natural oils. This leads to a flat and dull look because our hair may struggle to hold on to moisture and important nutrients. Often this is associated with hair that is high porosity because it’s either weighed down by grease that sits on the top of the head or lets go of the moisture as quickly as it comes in,  Harmful to Hair Growth Hard water leads to hair breakage and split ends, which can prevent our hair from growing long and strong. It also creates scalp issues, as mentioned. When our scalp is bogged down by debris, it doesn’t get the necessary circulation to grow healthy roots.  What is Hard Water? Hard water is water that contains high concentrations of minerals. These minerals are picked up as the water passes through rocks and soil, and their presence can cause various issues with mineral buildup in pipes, appliances, and more. Hard water can also lead to soap scum formation and negative effects for the hair and skin. Minerals in Hard Water That Cause Hair Damage In hard water, the minerals that primarily cause hair damage are calcium and magnesium ions. These minerals can form a buildup on the hair shaft, leading to issues like dryness, brittleness, and dullness. As many as 85% of Americans have hard water in their home because it’s a very naturally occurring phenomenon. In other words, you aren’t alone! The Signs of Hard Water On Hair Do you have any of the following hair symptoms? It’s possible that hard water is the root of the problem. Pun intended! Hair Dryness Dry and coarse hair is one of the leading effects of hard water on hair. When minerals build up on the hair, it creates a defense barrier. Not a good one, either. This barrier locks out moisture rather than locking in moisture. People exposed to hard water may feel like, regardless of the products they use, their hair remains dry.  Hair Loss and Hair Thinning In the most extreme cases, hard water can lead not only to breakage but actual hair loss. As mentioned, the scalp can be affected, causing it to become dry and flaky. When our scalp is dry and doesn’t nourish our roots. With so much calcium, the hair shaft can often become brittle because it’s not getting the nutrients it needs.  This can result in their breaking off at the base rather than split ends. You may notice extreme hair loss in the shower or even after the shower when brushing out your hair. The hair strands may fall out easily and feel less attached to the scalp. All of a sudden, we are dealing with thinning hair rather than rich, thick, luxurious hair.  Split Ends and Breakage When nutrients can’t penetrate the hair shaft because of the barrier, it’s easy for the hair to become brittle and split, causing split ends. This results in tons of breakage, making it hard to grow our hair longer. And, the longer it grows without the necessary nutrients, the weaker it becomes.  Frizziness Naturally, when our hair gets dry and has a lot of split ends, it becomes frizzy. Our hair needs a certain level of moisture to be tamed without also looking greasy. Moisturized hair from the inside out reduces frizziness, but it’s not as easy when dealing with hard water.  How to Repair Hard Water Damage On Hair So, can you repair hard water damage on hair? The good news is that we can do a number of things to break down the build-up and give our hair the reset that it deserves. This includes both treating our hair and using preventative measures.  Use a Pre-Shampoo Treatment Using a pre-shampoo treatment works hard to reset the hair and address issues caused by hard water. A pre-shampoo treatment can come from a number of avenues.  Gisou’s Honey Infused Scalp Treatment is a powerhouse pre-shampoo treatment that can be left on overnight. Applying our scalp treatment at night is a great way to detox your scalp, eliminating the dryness and itchiness that go hand in hand with hard water buildup. It provides immediate relief as well as long-term results thanks to natural actives like Mirsalehi Honey. Honey is an anti-inflammatory as well as an antioxidant. When our scalp is nourished from these ingredients, we start addressing healthy hair from the root on out.  Hair oiling is another effective option. Gisou’s Honey-Infused Hair Oil works to penetrate the hair shaft and provide moisture from the inside out. Honey is a natural humectant meaning it is able to lock in moisture more easily because of how it latches on to the strands.  Hair oiling can also be used as the last step in your styling routine to add moisture and shine to dull, damaged hair. Combining the two treatments together reaps double the benefits.  Use a Chelating or Clarifying Shampoo After a pre-shampoo treatment, the next stage is using a gentle, yet effective chelating or clarifying shampoo that will break down some of the buildup and deposits left behind by hard water. The important thing to remember is that after the build-up is cleansed, the hair needs to be nourished.   Use a Deep Conditioning Hair Mask It’s never a bad idea to give our hair extra love. A deep-conditioning hair mask is the perfect way to do this. You can use a deep conditioning hair mask overnight, before washing, or after shampooing. Depending on your hair needs will determine the frequency at which you use it.  But what makes a good deep-conditioning hair mask? Let’s take a look! It should be rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals (good ones), and antioxidants to repair damaged hair It should be able to be applied on damp, wet, or dry hair It can be used as a short-term or overnight treatment Our Honey Infused Hair Mask covers all these bases and much more. It’s rich in natural and powerful ingredients, like Mirsalehi Honey, to bring your hair back to life.      Get Regular Trims Allowing split ends to remain on our hair is never good for our overall hair health. It can lead to more breakage and the continual weakening of the hair shaft. The higher up the hair split goes, the more we’ll have to chop off later. If we get regular trims, it gets ahead of this issue and can give us a fresh start in terms of keeping our hair healthy.  How to Prevent the Effects of Hard Water On Hair While we can certainly treat our hair once there is damage, it’s always best to take preventative action. Here is what we can do.  Buy a Filter for Your Shower Head A filter for your shower head is a great solution. This helps prevent the deposits from ever reaching your hair and scalp. Keep in mind that filters will have to be changed out every so often, and they come in a wide range of prices and options. Investing in a quality filter is important to ensure that you’re getting the best results possible. Install a Water Softener Water softeners are also highly effective for eliminating hard water issues throughout your entire home. They address the entire house's water system rather than just one area, using a process called ion exchange. Water passes through a resin where the minerals are removed from the water before entering your interior plumbing system. Rinse with Apple Cider Vinegar Last but not least, a simple solution is to rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar whenever you notice that it’s looking dull or not styling as it should. Apple cider vinegar is more acidic than shampoos and works to remove mineral build-up from the hair. Don’t Wait To Protect Your Hair Understanding the effects of hard water on our hair is crucial for maintaining healthy and vibrant locks. The buildup caused by hard water usage can leave our hair looking lackluster, dry, and damaged. The good news is that there are effective solutions to repair and protect our tresses from the harmful effects of hard water. To combat the damage and bring back the natural shine and strength of your hair, incorporate our Honey-Infused Hair Care line into your daily routine. Embrace the power of Mirsalehi Honey and experience the transformation as your hair begins to thrive and flourish! Don’t wait any longer to give your hair the tender, loving care it needs!

If you've ever looked in the mirror and noticed your hair isn't as lustrous and healthy as it once was, you're not alone. Damaged hair is a common concern for many of us, and it can happen for a variety of reasons. But fret not, because in this guide, we're going to explore what damaged hair is, what causes it, and most importantly, what you can do to bring your locks back to life. What is damaged hair? First things first, let's define what damaged hair actually means. Damaged hair is hair that has lost its natural structure and vitality. It often appears dry, frizzy, and dull. You might notice split ends, breakage, or a lack of shine – all telltale signs that your hair is not at its best.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gisou (@gisou)   Common causes of damaged hair Now that we know what damaged hair looks like, let's delve into what causes it. Knowledge is power, and understanding the root causes can help you take steps to prevent and repair damage. Heat Styling: Frequent use of hot tools like straighteners and curling irons can weaken hair's protein structure, making it prone to damage. Chemical Treatments: Coloring, perming, and chemical straightening treatments can strip your hair of its natural oils and leave it brittle. Environmental Factors: Exposure to harsh weather conditions, UV rays, and pollution can take a toll on your hair, leaving it parched and lifeless. Poor Hair Care Habits: Over-washing, using harsh shampoos, sleeping with wet hair and not conditioning properly can lead to dryness and damage. Lack of Moisture: Hair needs moisture to thrive. Without it, it becomes brittle and prone to breakage. Repair and revitalize damaged hair Now that we've explored what causes damaged hair, let's discuss what you can do to restore your locks to their natural glory with a natural approach to beauty and self-care. Honey-Infused Hair Mask: Begin your journey to healthier hair with Gisou's Honey-Infused Hair Mask. Packed with the nourishing goodness of honey, this mask deeply hydrates and repairs damaged hair.

Infused with honey and other natural ingredients, they cleanse and condition your hair without stripping away its essential oils. Trim Regularly: To get rid of those split ends and prevent further damage, schedule regular trims with your hairstylist. Natural Air Drying: Whenever possible, let your hair air dry instead of using hot tools. This minimizes heat-related damage. Balanced Diet: Your hair's health is closely linked to your diet. Ensure you're consuming a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals that support hair growth and strength. Wrapping up Damaged hair is a common concern, but it's not the end of the road for your locks.

Beepeeking at Gisou is all about giving you, our community, a peek inside the world of bees & beekeeping. As our Beekeeper-In-Chief, Negar Mirsalehi is excited to bring you along throughout the bee season! “This bee season 2023, we have re-designed the Gisou Bees Project. With this project, we show our support of beekeeping efforts through several initiatives such as cultivating bee gardens, collaborating with charities that promote like minded objectives, spreading education about the bees through workshops and online with our Bee Learning course, and gifting wildflower seeds that support bees on special occasions throughout the year. This is a special Gisou initiative in support of beekeeping practices and bee welfare to fight the declining bee population worldwide.” Cultivating our new bee garden This bee season, we have worked on one of our biggest initiatives: we cultivated our newest Mirsalehi bee garden, not far from our original bee garden. With this bee garden we continue our commitment to sustainably-sourced honey. We put the wellbeing of our honey bees first in everything we do. This new garden is also used for educational purposes, events and training opportunities such as workshops for those interested in learning about beekeeping practices. We scouted a wonderful location where our bees can live, forage and thrive under the best circumstances. We planted many nectar- and pollen bearing trees, plants, flowers for our honey bees and all other pollinators in the area. We have a wonderful mix of floral sources such as our original thistle, white clover, fireweed and hogweed as well as new floral sources to make our new bee garden a rich source of nectar and pollen during the entire bee season, such as echinacea in several colors and much more!  Our new bee barns and hives are now the home of our honey bees and they are thriving this summer! We started by introducing three colonies at a time by moving new colonies from the original garden to the new bee garden. This is done slowly so as to not disturb the honey bees and to allow them to slowly adapt to the new environment they are introduced in.  Growing new colonies Once we moved the new colonies our goal was to grow the colonies this summer and of course to prevent swarming in the swarming season. We now have strong colonies in our new garden that forage for nectar and pollen. The bees have produced nice batches of honey and harvesting month is around the corner where we will only take the surplus of honey. It’s amazing to witness our honey bees adapting to their new garden and seeing our garden evolve day by day.  Learn more about honey bees Find out more about honey bees and their colonies and start The Gisou Bee Learning Course. This is a comprehensive and educational step-by-step program that supports our core mission — to raise awareness around the importance of bees and inspire a new generation of beekeepers — and is for anyone who takes an interest in bees and understands their importance as well as the crucial role a beekeeper plays  in the colony’s health and survival. Throughout the program - which is offered for free - you will learn the (beekeeping) ropes which you can test by taking a quiz at the end of each class and see how much you’ve learned! The new and improved bee learning course covers topics such as the importance of the bees, bee basics, beekeeping 101, bee products and how to harvest honey. Stay tuned for our next steps into Autumn!

There’s something undeniably alluring about hair that not only looks amazing but also smells incredible! We all want that fresh, irresistible scent wafting from our tresses. But let’s face it: the market is flooded with chemically-laden products most of us would prefer to avoid. Chemicals can be harsh on your hair and scalp, potentially leading to irritation and dryness. Thankfully, there are numerous ways to make your hair smell good naturally. Let’s explore some simple, yet effective, tips and tricks for great-smelling hair without compromising hair health! 10 Ways to Make Your Hair Smell Good Naturally If you’re seeking natural alternatives to make your hair smell fantastic, you may be surprised to learn that the health of your scalp plays a key role. Here are nine ways to achieve a fresh and fragrant mane and improve the health of your hair and scalp at the same time! 1. Keep Your Scalp Clean and Healthy Keeping your scalp clean and healthy plays a major role in how your hair smells. The thought process is very similar to why we brush our teeth. If we don’t keep our teeth clean of bacteria and debris, it turns into build-up. Just like your teeth, a build-up of unhealthy debris can lead to ineffective cleaning of your hair.  To combat build up use a gentle and natural scalp serum such as Gisou’s Honey Infused Scalp Treatment. This formula does the perfect job of creating a balanced microbiome for your scalp. Say goodbye to a dry, itchy, and uncomfortable scalp. Instead, you can feel moisturized and clean from your scalp to your roots.  2. Use Leave-In Conditioner Between Wash Days Stripping your hair of its natural oils with daily washes is one of the easiest ways to take away a natural scent from your hair. Too much hot water will dry out the strands leaving them frail instead of full and able to absorb nutrients.  You may be thinking, “How do I keep my smelling great if I am not washing it?” Refresh your hair with leave-in conditioner in between your wash days!  Simply spray it evenly from the mid-length of your hair to the tips and comb through. You don’t need to focus on your roots as much since they are the least likely to be dry and tangled.  3. Use Hair Perfume Have you ever sprayed your hair with your regular perfume? Unfortunately, regular perfume isn’t meant to go into the hair and can cause it to dry out. That is unless you are using a specific natural hair perfume. We say specific because even using something like lemon juice can dry out our hair.  Natural hair perfumes offer the same benefits without damaging your hair. By sectioning your hair, you can spray the hair perfume all over at about an arm’s length away. At the end, give your hair a little flip to get a good whiff of the scent.  4. Try a Deep Conditioning Hair Mask Gisou’s Honey Infused Hair Mask has a wonderful scent that gets left behind after use, but its benefits don’t end there. Our nourishing hair mask restores hair that may be on the frail side or damaged by heat or coloring.  Our hair mask can be used in a few different ways. One of the best approaches is to leave it on overnight. This will allow for the nutrients to soak in deeply. If you’re short on time, you can also do a 10-minute hair mask before your shower.  Or, you can simply shampoo your hair, apply the mask and leave it on while you shower, then use your regular conditioner. The heat from the humidity in the shower will allow for better absorption in the scalp and roots.  5. Embrace Hair Oils Hair oiling is a hot new trend for a good reason. A good hair oil should focus on powerful humectants that grab onto water molecules for the ultimate hydration. Hair oiling is a great alternative to hair masks that try to find similar benefits of shiny, bouncy, and nourished hair.  Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil nourishes the hair from the inside out, creating longer and stronger locks. And the best part? It leaves your hair smelling amazing!  In fact, our hair oil can be used in conjunction with our hair mask overnight for double benefits. Simply add 2-3 drops to the palms of your hand and combine it with your mask before applying.  6. Optimize Your Diet Now, not everything can be done through quality products. While it certainly helps, you may also want to consider your diet. We are what we eat, and when we consume oily and sugary foods, are body processes that in certain ways. Body odor is something that may occur when the skin is unhealthy, and that can include scalp odor.  But when we focus on foods that help promote hair and scalp health, we can combat this. Omega 3 fatty acids, like those found in nuts, seeds, and olive oil, are just one nutrient to think of. Fruits and citrus foods also play an important role in our scalp health. Last but certainly not least, we must keep hydrated to keep the hair and scalp moisturized from the inside out. Drinking water is not only great for our hair but certainly for our skin, nails, and overall well-being.  7. Be Mindful of Your Environment Environmental factors such as pollution, smoke, or even cooking certain foods can leave a lasting scent we don’t love on our clothes and hair. Considering where you are for extended periods of time is key.  One trick to combatting environmental smells is wrapping your hair in a scarf when you are in these environments to protect it! You can also wear a baseball cap if that is more of your style.  No matter where you are or what you do to protect your hair, if you feel there is a lot of pollution, it is always a good idea to wash it when you get home. The longer the smell stays on your hair, the more it will stick.   8. Practice Good Hair Hygiene Habits Good hair hygiene habits are a must. Here are some key habits to add to your routine for great-smelling hair: Brushing your hair helps to remove dirt, dust, and environmental pollutants. Regular brushing is a great way to prevent unpleasant odors from settling into your hair. It also helps to distribute the natural oils in your hair, providing natural conditioning and keeping the hair smelling fresh. Another school of thought is not touching our hair when we don’t need to. The more we touch our hair with our dirty hands, the more debris we bring into it. The oils from our palms immediately go into our hair, contributing to potential odors.  Keeping our hair tools clean is crucial. Every time we use a product in our hair, it gets on our tools. Build-up and bacteria linger, which gets transferred directly back to our hair during the next use.  Our pillows are some of the biggest culprits for storing hair oil. The more that goes onto our pillow, the more our face, skin, and hair gets dirty with each use. Frequent washing of the pillowcase is vital for fresh-smelling hair.  While these may seem like tedious little tasks, the difference they can make in the way your hair smells naturally is huge.  9. Manage Stress Managing our stress levels has always been an important factor when it comes to our hair and skin. Stress triggers the release of hormones like cortisol, which can lead to an overproduction of sebum, the natural oil produced by the scalp. Excess sebum can make the hair appear oily and create an environment that’s more prone to odor-causing bacteria. Taking time to decompress and relax can do wonders for your hair and scalp. Need inspiration? Have a spa night, and be sure to use hair mask treatments! Try guided meditation Get some fresh hair and exercise Have a cup of tea with honey Supplement with nutrients that help combat stress While there are many more ways to handle stress, finding something that works for you and your routines is the most important.  10. Rule Out Medical Issues If you find hair odor to be particularly problematic, it is never a bad idea to consult your doctor. Some medical issues may introduce side effects that directly impact our hair health and scalp health.  Being Proactive for Great Smelling Hair In the quest to make your hair smell good naturally, it’s clear that taking proactive measures for hair and scalp health is essential. By nurturing your hair and scalp, you not only enhance its scent naturally but also promote overall hair health and radiance. Crafted with the finest natural ingredients, Gisou Honey Infused Hair Perfume leaves your hair smelling heavenly while offering the nourishing properties of honey. Exude a captivating fragrance that will turn heads wherever you go! 

Our hair is a precious part of our identity. And we can all agree that most of us yearn for full, bouncy, shiny, and healthy hair. Sometimes we engage in several different hair care routines but don’t always get the results we want. That may have something to do with our hair porosity. Addressing our hair’s ability to take on certain products and adapt to a routine is very important. Different types of hair porosity directly affect our hair health.  That's why understanding the meaning of hair porosity meaning and your own porosity health is essential. Let’s take a look! What is Hair Porosity? Hair porosity is our hair's ability to retain moisture. It also includes our hair’s ability to retain vitamins and essential nutrients from different substances found in our favorite hair care products. Hair porosity is the result of our hair cuticle health.  Our hair cuticle is the outermost layer of our hair strands. This outer layer directly impacts how well it protects and nourishes the inner layer of our hair. When we zoom in close to our cuticle, it looks like overlapping scales that protect that inner layer.  Our hair cuticles can have different levels of health. The flatter the scales lie, the smoother and more hydrated our hair is. This gives beautiful and shiny locks. When the scales are roughed up, it allows the inner layer to lose moisture and creates a dull look. What Causes High or Low Porosity Hair? So, what determines whether you have high or low hair porosity? Here are the most common reasons.  Genetics is one of the top factors in hair porosity. You can inherit low, medium, or high hair porosity from your parents and genetic DNA, just like we can inherit thick, thin, curly, or straight hair.  Damaging the hair cuticle leads to a higher porosity. This can happen in various ways, such as excessive heat, chemicals, unhealthy hair treatments, and so on.  Environmental factors, such as excessive sun, wind, and pollution, is another way that the hair cuticle can be damaged, leading to higher porosity.  Like most parts of our bodies, as we age, our hair cuticle can lose some of its strength.  Our hair naturally has wear and tear.  Heat and chemicals aren’t the only things to watch out for. Using our hairbrushes, combs, or other hair tools too frequently can cause friction and damage the hair strands.  Swimming in pools that have chlorine leads to harsh chemicals that can break down our hair’s protective barriers.  How Hair Porosity Influences Hydration and Moisture Retention What’s confusing about hair porosity is that loose scales allow for a lot of moisture in, but it goes out just as quickly. This is a result of high hair porosity. And that’s why high hair porosity is less optimal even though we are absorbing more moisture.  What we really hope for is tighter scales, but not so tight that nutrients can’t penetrate. This is called medium hair porosity.  The tighter the scales, the stronger the protective barrier. The looser and farther apart the scales are, the less moisture and nutrient retention. When the scales are too loose or tight, it ultimately leads to undernourished hair.  Influence of Hair Porosity on Hair Product Absorption Understanding your hair porosity will help you choose better products suited to your hair needs. The influence comes from the fact that your hair porosity works better with certain products that are more or less humectant. Humectants have an easier time retaining moisture because they help create additional barriers to lock in moisture.  Types of Hair Porosity Let’s define and take a closer look at the different types of hair porosity since there are varying levels.  Low Porosity Hair Low porosity hair means that your cuticles or hair scales are tightly wound together. They are overlapping and potentially too tight, not allowing moisture or nutrients in.   Common characteristics:  Products tend to sit on your head rather than do their job Your hair doesn’t saturate from water quickly.  Your hair takes a longer time to air dry.  Medium Porosity Hair As you might guess, medium hair porosity falls in between both extremes. This is the optimal place to be. The hair cuticles are close enough but not so close that they don’t let any moisture in.  Common characteristics:  Your hair is easy to style and holds the style well It is not hard to color your hair Your hair is shiny and glossy but not greasy Your hair doesn’t take long to air dry High Porosity Hair High hair porosity means our hair cuticles are widely spread, allowing a lot of moisture in. But this also means it allows a lot of moisture out and leads to dull hair that is undernourished.  Common characteristics: Your hair quickly absorbs product and water You have a lot of hair breakage Your hair is dry and frizzy Your hair dries easily How to Determine Hair Porosity There are a few different ways that we can test our hair porosity so that we can adequately address our hair needs. The quicker we understand, the faster we can feed our hair the right products.  The best approach to testing your hair is to use a combination of tests to confirm results. For instance, the Slip ‘n’ Slide test should be followed by another hair porosity test to confirm results.  Water Test One of the most popular tests is the water test. Take a clean and unconditioned hair strand and place it in a glass of water that is at room temperature. If the hair sinks to the bottom, then it falls into the high porosity.  If the strand of hair floats at the top of the water, then you have low-porosity hair. The optimal result is to have the strand of hair float in the middle of the glass halfway between the bottom and the top.  Slip 'n' Slide Test The Slip ‘n’ Slide test is a little more subjective. To complete the test take a single strand of hair and hold it straight out. With your other hand, run the strand between your thumb and pointer finger. Move up the strand from the bottom to the root. If you feel it is bumpy, you have high porosity because you feel the raised scales. If you feel it is smooth, you have low porosity.  Professional Assessment The best way to see where your hair falls is through a professional assessment. With there being varying levels of hair health and porosity, you can have a much closer look at where your hair stands. Hair professionals know exactly what to look for and how to test our hair to determine how well it’s absorbing nutrients as well as retaining them.  How to Care for Low-Porosity Hair Focus on conditioners that are protein-free. The reason is that conditioners with protein tend to be more absorbent. In the case of low-porosity hair, a conditioner that is packed with protein will cause extra build-up on hair instead of absorbing into your hair.  Conditioner should be applied to hair that is well-saturated and wet. This will allow for better absorption.  Honey should be one of the top ingredients on your list. Honey is a natural humectant with multiple benefits for hydrating and repairing low-porosity hair Using heat indirectly to your hair will help low-porosity hair absorb the products like conditioners and hair masks. Try applying a moisturizing product before you work out to maximize absorption.  How to Care for Medium Porosity Hair Medium hair porosity is the goal, but you must take steps to maintain it. Constantly evaluating your hair needs is important. To stay in this range, you want to stay away from harsh chemicals, which can damage the hair and lead to low porosity.  Medium porosity hair benefits from regular and consistent moisture. Incorporating leave-in conditioners and deep-conditioning hair masks into your routine is key to maintaining the health of your hair. Although medium porosity hair can handle some heat, try to minimize the use of heat tools whenever possible. When you do use heat, apply a heat protectant spray to reduce damage. Choose a sulfate-free shampoo and avoid hair products that harsh chemicals, which can strip your hair of its natural oils. How to Care for High Porosity Hair Using quality oils is key for high-porosity hair. Our Honey-Infused Hair Oil is ideal for strengthening high-porosity hair and enhancing its natural shine Apply our Leave-In Conditioner between washes to add moisture without weighing the hair down.   Always use heat-protectant products and avoid hot tools as much as you can. Hair breakage is a top concern for high-porosity hair, and heat is your enemy.  Nobody likes a cold shower, but you should opt for lukewarm water instead of hot. This will help to reduce dryness and minimize breakage. Can Hair Porosity Change and How Can I Improve It? By paying close attention to your hair porosity and how it changes over time, we can continually improve it. While genetics certainly play a part, we have control over how we treat our hair. By implementing the steps above, once we determine where our hair falls, we can seek to improve the condition.  This is why it’s important to emphasize high-quality products that meet your hair needs. Products that are overloaded with chemicals or harmful ingredients can make you feel like nothing is working. Just know that it may not be you! Or your hair! Taking It One Step At a Time Understanding hair porosity is a crucial step toward achieving luscious and healthy locks. By identifying your hair’s porosity, you can tailor your hair care routine to meet its unique needs. Moisture retention is key, and finding the right products can make all the difference!

In today's fast-paced world, finding ways to simplify our beauty routines and save time is essential. However, it doesn't mean we have to compromise on self-care. In fact, with a few strategic tweaks to our habits, we can achieve a low-maintenance routine while still looking fabulous. Let's explore some high-maintenance habits that have been transformed into time-saving rituals. Habit 1: Deep Hair Treatment with a Sleek Bun Taking care of our hair is crucial, but it often requires dedicating time to hair masks and treatments. The Honey Infused Hair Mask is a game-changer in this aspect. By applying the mask and then putting your hair in a sleek bun, you can enjoy the nourishing benefits throughout the day without any downtime. This method not only saves time but also allows you to multitask while treating your locks.  Looking for extra nourishment? Mix a full dropper of Honey Infused Hair Oil with your Hair Mask before applying to add an extra dose of nourishing honey to your mask treatment. Habit 2: Effortless Face Contouring and Highlighting Face contouring can be time-consuming, especially if you're a perfectionist. However, with a clever approach, you can achieve a glowing, contoured look without the need for daily makeup applications. Try using face tan the night before and then applying the Honey Infused Beauty Balm on your cheekbones as a highlighter. This will give your face a natural, radiant glow for a couple of days, eliminating the need for frequent makeup touch-ups. Habit 3: Invest in Quality Shampoo and Conditioner Healthy hair is easier to manage, and investing in high-quality shampoo and conditioner can make a significant difference in your hair's health and appearance. Try our Honey Infused Hair Wash and Conditioner, formulated to effectively cleanse and deeply nourish your hair. By using effective products, you'll need less time and effort to style your hair daily. Plus, the long-term benefits of improved hair health will save you time and money on extensive hair treatments and salon visits. Habit 4: Nourished Cuticles for Better Nail Health Maintaining impeccable nails often requires frequent trips to the salon, but there's a simpler way to keep your manicure looking fresh and your nails healthy. Applying the Honey Infused Beauty Balm on your cuticles at night will provide nourishment and hydration, helping to prevent chipping and promoting healthy nail growth. This quick habit saves time on fixing broken nails and extends the longevity of your manicure. Habit 5: Overnight Face Mask for Glowing Skin A glowing and radiant complexion is the dream of every skincare enthusiast. Achieving that glow doesn't have to be a time-consuming process. Incorporating an overnight face mask into your routine can work wonders. Look for a nourishing mask with skin-loving ingredients like honey and apply it before bedtime. Wake up to plump, hydrated, and glowing skin without the need for elaborate morning skincare routines. In conclusion, transforming high-maintenance habits into low maintenance rituals is not about neglecting self-care but rather finding smart and efficient ways to achieve the same results in less time. By embracing these time-saving practices, you'll not only simplify your beauty routine but also free up more time for the things that truly matter in life. So, let's say goodbye to unnecessary complexity and hello to a more effortless, yet equally glamorous, approach to self-pampering.

We all wake up with a few knots and tangles now and then, but matted hair is an entirely different challenge. What is matted hair, and what causes it? Hair matting… those stubborn knots and clumps that seem to have a mind of their own… can strike anyone, but certain factors put you at higher risk.  From everyday habits to hair type and texture, there are many reasons for hair matting. But thankfully, there are pain-free solutions that don’t require cutting off your hair! And we’re here to arm you with the knowledge and techniques you need to conquer the tangles and get your hair back to healthy and beautiful again. What is Matted Hair? Before we dive into the causes and solutions for matted hair, let’s first understand what hair matting actually is. Matted hair refers to tangled and knotted strands that become tightly woven together, forming clumps or mats.  Mats can occur anywhere on the head, from the roots to the ends of the hair. Hair matting happens when loose hair strands repeatedly tangle and twist themselves around attached hairs, leading to a tightly knotted clump. Some people, especially those with curly or textured hair types or very dry hair, are more prone to matted hair, but there can be other contributing factors. For example, if you wear your hair in braids or dreadlocks and don’t comb it regularly to remove loose strands, it can become severely matted.  What Does Matted Hair Look Like? The appearance of matted hair can vary based on the severity of the mats and how long they’ve been allowed to form. The most apparent sign of matted hair is the presence of knots and clumps. Hair mats can range in size from smaller knots to large clumps that incorporate significant portions of the hair. Matted hair often feels rough, knotty, or tangled to the touch. It will have an uneven texture, with smooth sections that are interspersed with areas that are densely matted. The tangles create resistance, making it difficult or seemingly impossible to pass a comb or brush through the hair. In severe cases of matted hair, visible clumps and clusters are noticeable to others. Overall, the hair may appear more frizzy and have a disheveled or untamed appearance. If you notice these signs in your hair, it’s essential to take action right away to prevent the mats from worsening and leading to further damage. What Causes Hair Matting? Hair matting can be caused by a variety of factors, from improper care and styling practices to hair type. Understanding what is causing your hair to mat can help you take proactive steps to address the issue and prevent matted hair in the future. Long Hair Long hair is beautiful, but it’s also more prone to knots and tangles due to its length. The longer the hair, the more opportunity there is for loose strands to intertwine with attached strands and create mats. Long hair is also more susceptible to friction from everyday activities like rubbing on your pillow or exposure to wind. Curly or Coily Hair Curly or coily hair types are more prone to matted hair due to the unique structure of their hair strands. The natural bends and coils in these hair types make it easier for strands to interlock and form mats. Curly and coily hair also tends to be drier and more fragile, further contributing to knots and tangles. Dry Hair Dry hair is more prone to matting due to its lack of moisture and increased fragility. When the hair lacks sufficient hydration, the cuticles become rough and raised, making it easier for individual strands to interlock and form knots. Improper Washing Techniques Your hair-washing routine can play a role in hair matting, too. For example, vigorous scrubbing or rubbing, or using harsh products can strip the hair of its natural oils, leaving it prone to dryness and tangles. It’s also important to rinse the hair thoroughly after shampooing to prevent residue buildup. Product buildup can contribute to knots, tangles, and matting, as well as a dull appearance and lack of manageability. Sleeping without Protecting Your Hair Sleeping with loose hair is a leading cause of tangles and matting. As you toss and turn in your sleep, your hair rubs against the pillowcase, leading to friction and knots. Securing your hair and using a satin or silk pillowcase reduces friction and helps maintain the hair’s smoothness.  Hair Extensions and Wigs Hair extensions and wigs offer a convenient way to change up your hairstyle, but they can also contribute to matting if not properly cared for. Improper installation, neglecting to detangle regularly, or using low-quality extensions can lead to matted hair. Be sure to follow the care instructions recommended for your specific product. How to Detangle Matted Hair Painlessly without Cutting Dealing with matted hair can be challenging, but with the right tools and techniques, you can detangle severe mats without causing unnecessary pain or damage to your hair. Here’s how to detangle matted hair painlessly without cutting. Step 1: Start with Patience and Preparation Detangling matted hair requires time, patience, and the right products and tools. Before you begin, gather a detangling brush, a wide-toothed comb, a leave-in conditioning spray, and some clips to section your hair. It’s important to work through the tangles gently and avoid rushing the process to avoid unnecessary damage. Step 2: Apply a Leave-In Conditioner To ease the detangling process, saturate the hair with a leave-in conditioner and detangling product. Our Honey-Infused Leave-In Conditioner helps to soften the hair, reduce friction, and make the knots more manageable. Allow the product to sit on your for several minutes before you begin the detangling process for better penetration and loosening of the tangles.  Step 3: Divide and Conquer Divide your hair into manageable sections using the hair clips. You’ll want to focus on detangling one section at a time to prevent further tangling and make the process more systematic. Start with the ends and outermost layers of your hair, and gradually work your way upward and inwards. Step 4: Gently Detangle the Hair Begin by gently using your fingers to loosen the tangles in each section. Finger detangling can be especially helpful because it allows you to carefully separate the strands and offers more control, reducing the risk of pain or damage to fragile strands. Once the knot is loosened, you can use a detangling brush and a wide-toothed comb to complete the detangling process and work your way through each section. If you encounter a particularly stubborn area, hold the hair above the knot with one hand and gently tease the knot apart, adding more leave-in conditioner as needed to reduce friction and allow the strands to glide more easily. Step 5: Seek Professional Help if Needed If you’re dealing with severe or persistent matting that seems difficult to handle on your own, consider seeking professional help. A skilled hairstylist can assess the condition of your hair and offer professional detangling services. They often have specialized tools and techniques to safely and effectively address even the most challenging cases of matted hair. Restoring Vitality to Previously Matted Hair After successfully detangling matted hair, it’s time to focus on restoring its vitality and promoting overall hair health. Matted hair is often accompanied by dryness, breakage, and a lackluster appearance.  With the right care and attention, you can revive your hair and bring back its natural shine and beauty. Here are some effective strategies for restoring vitality to previously matted hair. Deep Conditioning Treatments One of the best ways to restore moisture to your hair is through regular deep conditioning treatments. Our Honey-Infused Hair Mask is specifically formulated to repair, strengthen, and deeply hydrate the hair. Apply the deep conditioning hair mask generously to your hair, focusing on the lengths and ends, and leave it on for at least 10 minutes, up to overnight. Rinse thoroughly and follow up with your regular conditioner to close the hair shaft and seal in moisture. Moisturize Regularly To combat dryness and prevent breakage, make moisturizing a regular part of your hair care routine. Use our Honey-Infused Leave-In Conditioner and Honey-Infused Hair Oil to hydrate your hair daily, focusing on areas that tend to be drier and more prone to breakage. Trim Split Ends Matted hair is often accompanied by split ends, which can hinder the overall health and appearance of your hair. Schedule regular maintenance trims to remove split ends and prevent them from traveling up the hair shaft. Trimming your hair every 6-8 weeks helps maintain the integrity of your hair, promotes growth, and minimizes the risk of future matting. Gentle Styling Practices Avoid hairstyles that put excessive strain on your hair or cause unnecessary friction, as these can contribute to further damage. Opt for loose, protective styles that minimize tension and rubbing. When using heat styling tools, always apply a heat-protecting spray and use satin or silk hair accessories to help reduce friction and maintain the smoothness of your hair. Avoid Overwashing Excessive washing can strip your hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and increased susceptibility to tangles. Opt for a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and reduce the frequency of washing to two or three times per week if possible. Our Honey-Infused Shampoo and Conditioner are ideal for hydrating and repairing all hair types. Protect Your Hair While Sleeping To prevent future damage or matting, protect your hair while you sleep. Use a silk or satin bonnet, scarf, or pillowcase to reduce friction and preserve the smoothness of your hair. You can also loosely braid or twist your hair into a high bun before bed to further minimize friction and tangles.  How to Prevent Matted Hair Prevention is key when it comes to avoiding the frustration and hassle of dealing with matted hair. Start with a healthy hair care routine and make a habit of detangling your hair daily using a leave-in conditioner and wide-toothed comb to minimize damage and make the process easier. Continue to moisturize and hydrate your hair daily with leave-in conditioner and hair oil, and a weekly deeply conditioning hair mask. Use a gentle shampoo and hydrating conditioner, and be sure to rinse your hair thoroughly to prevent product build-up. Consider switching to satin or silk hair accessories and pillowcases permanently to minimize friction. Avoid excessive heat styling, and always use a heat protectant before blow drying, curling, or straightening to minimize potential damage. And finally, schedule regular trims with your stylist to prevent split ends and maintain the health of your hair. Following a preventive haircare routine can significantly reduce the likelihood of experiencing matted hair. Final Thoughts By embracing healthy haircare and styling practices, and incorporating gentle detangling techniques, you can save yourself the frustration and discomfort of dealing with stubborn knots and mats.

With the rise of radiant skin as the new "it" look, face oil earned its rightful place as a skincare essential. But the idea of using it as a makeup primer is a recent trend in the beauty scene. Can you really use facial oil before makeup? If you're someone who loves makeup, you know that using primer is the key to achieving a flawless and even foundation application that stays put throughout the day. It turns out face oil can double as an exceptional primer, paving the way for a truly stunning makeup look. Let’s explore the benefits of using face oil as a primer before makeup, how to apply it correctly, and why it’s a game changer for achieving that airbrushed, glowing finish you’ve always wanted. Can I Use Facial Oil Before Makeup? You absolutely can use facial oil before makeup! Plant-based facial oils blend seamlessly into the skin, eliminating dry, flaky patches so your makeup goes on smoothly. If you’re into that glow-from-within look, using facial oil under your foundation provides just the boost of hydration and nourishment you need for a flawless, natural glow.  Can I Use Facial Oil Instead of a Primer? So, can you use facial oil instead of primer? The answer is a resounding yes! Facial oil is highly effective when used in place of primer. Applying a face oil as a primer provides a plumper, smoother, more hydrated base for a flawless, even foundation application that lasts all day. Benefits of Using Facial Oil Before Makeup When it comes to prepping your skin for makeup, the use of face oil as a primer may come as a pleasant surprise. Face oil offers a range of benefits that go beyond its traditional role as the last step in your skincare routine. Here’s why face oil is a game changer for achieving a truly radiant and long-lasting makeup look. Hydration and Nourishment When applied before makeup, facial oils help to keep the skin hydrated throughout the day. This is especially important if your skin is dry, irritated, or flaky. It’s also a highly effective technique to use in the winter when cold, dry air can leave the skin dull and dehydrated. But applying the right facial oil before makeup can be beneficial for oily skin, too, because facial oil helps to balance sebum production and keeps the skin from overproducing oil as you go about your day. Facial oils are also full of beneficial ingredients, like antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, that nourish and protect the skin. Using face oil before makeup supports skin health throughout the day and helps to protect against environmental damage. Gives the Skin a Healthy Glow There’s something undeniably beautiful about a healthy, lit-from-within glow. If you’ve been yearning to master that luminous, dewy look, incorporating face oil as a primer in your makeup routine might just be the key. Not only does facial oil deliver a potent dose of skin-loving nutrients, but it also replenishes and revitalizes the skin, resulting in a naturally radiant complexion. It creates a soft-focus effect that blurs imperfections by reflecting the light and adds a natural luminosity to the skin. Face oil also imparts a soft dewy sheen to the skin, giving it a healthy, youthful appearance that shines through your makeup. And, if your skin is looking a bit dull and tired, applying facial oil before makeup can help to brighten up your complexion. It’s a great alternative to illuminating primers, which can sometimes look shimmery or glittery. Prolonging Makeup Wear When it comes to makeup longevity, we often seek out products that promise all-day wear. Using face oil as primer can prolong makeup wear in several ways.  First, face oil provides a nourishing barrier that locks in moisture throughout the day. Hydrated skin is less likely to develop the cakey appearance that can occur as makeup begins to cling to dehydrated skin areas.  Facial oil also fills in the lines, blurs imperfections, and minimizes the appearance of pores. This smoother surface allows your foundation and other makeup products to glide on effortlessly, ensuring a more even and long-lasting application. Face oil also has a unique texture that helps enhance the adherence of foundation to the skin. It creates a velvety, moist surface that allows your makeup to grip the skin more effectively. This reduces the likelihood of smudging, creasing, or fading throughout the day. Achieving a Flawless Finish If you’re tired of dealing with uneven skin texture, fine lines, and visible pores, using oil on your face before makeup could be the answer. Facial oils that are lightweight quickly absorb into the skin without leaving any oily residue.  They’re not as thick as many makeup primers, which can sometimes be difficult to distribute evenly on the skin and may appear heavy or cakey on the skin’s surface. Lightweight facial oils help to create a smooth, flawless base for foundation by plumping up fine lines and reducing the appearance of pores. Facial oils also soften the skin to give it a more youthful appearance. Suitable for Sensitive Skin Many primers have a silicone formula, which is meant to create a smooth base for makeup. But silicone can also clog pores and cause irritation, leading to breakouts and inflammation. If you have sensitive skin, a lightweight facial oil made from natural ingredients may be the better choice. How to Use Face Oil as a Primer The secret to success with face oil as a primer in your makeup routine is to allow plenty of time for each product to absorb into the skin before moving on to the next step. In this section, we’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of applying facial oil as a primer. Step 1: Cleanse, Exfoliate, and Moisturize Starting with a clean, exfoliated face will help your makeup go on smoothly and last longer throughout the day. Applying a moisturizer that’s suitable for your skin type is also important for adding hydrating and plumping up the skin.  If your skin doesn’t need a heavy moisturizer, opt for an oil-free formula. If possible, choose a moisturizer with built-in SPF to avoid layering too many products, which can cause your makeup to look cakey or patchy. Step 2: Apply the Face Oil Give your moisturizer a minute or two to absorb into the skin, then apply a few drops of your face oil into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together, and then pat the oil gently into your face. Focus on the areas that are especially dry, and keep the application lighter on areas that tend to get oily as the day goes on, such as your forehead, nose, and chin. Give the oil a few minutes to absorb into your skin before applying your foundation.     Step 3: Apply Makeup After your facial oil has been absorbed into the skin, apply your foundation and other cream products, such as concealer. Then apply your powder products, set everything in place with a light dusting of loose powder, and you’re out the door. Choosing The Best Facial Oil to Use as a Primer There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a face oil to use as a primer. Absorption and texture are key. A lightweight, fast-absorbing oil works best under makeup because it ensures a smooth application without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. It’s also important to choose an oil with nourishing and hydrating properties. Seek oils that are rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. Oils that are known for their replenishing and skin-conditioning properties help to create a smooth and supple canvas for makeup application.  Gisou Honey Infused Facial Oil is made from 95.7% cold-pressed botanical oils that are rich in skin-loving nutrients. It contains safflower and macadamia oils to hydrate and rejuvenate the complexion, as well as grapeseed to even out the skin tone. Evening primrose and rosehip oils reinforce the skin barrier and protect against free radicals, while jojoba balances the skin and helps to regulate oil production.

The pursuit of flawless and radiant skin has always been a top priority in the world of beauty. Recently, a trend known as "glass skin" has taken the skincare community by storm. This trend refers to achieving a complexion so smooth, hydrated, and luminous that it appears as clear and translucent as glass. If you've been wondering how to attain this enviable skin texture, you're in luck! We will explore the secrets to achieving glass skin and reveal the steps to incorporate into your skincare routine for a truly radiant complexion. Step 1: Double Cleansing The foundation of any skincare routine, double cleansing, is crucial for achieving glass skin. Begin with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and excess sebum, followed by a gentle water-based cleanser to deep clean your skin without stripping away essential moisture. Step 2: Exfoliation Regular exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and impurities, revealing a fresher, smoother complexion. Opt for a chemical exfoliant containing AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) or BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids) to promote cell turnover and unclog pores gently. Be cautious not to over-exfoliate, as it can lead to skin irritation, and be sure to use SPF during the day as exfoliation can make your skin more sensitive!  Step 3: Hydration, Hydration, Hydration To achieve glass skin, hydrating your skin is of utmost importance. Incorporate a hydrating toner into your routine to provide an extra layer of moisture. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera, which help to replenish and lock in moisture, resulting in a plump and dewy complexion. Step 4: Essence and Serums Essences and serums are concentrated formulas that target specific skin concerns and boost hydration. Choose products rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and ingredients like niacinamide or snail mucin that promote skin repair and brightening effects. Pat these products gently into your skin for better absorption. Step 5: Moisturize A lightweight, yet nourishing moisturizer is essential to seal in all the hydration and create a protective barrier for your skin. Look for products that contain ceramides, humectants, and natural oils to deeply hydrate and retain moisture. Consider using a sleeping mask or night cream for intense overnight hydration. Step 6: Face oils Incorporating a face oil into your glass skin routine can provide an extra boost of hydration and nourishment, helping you achieve that coveted smooth and radiant complexion. Our Honey Infused Face Oil is an antioxidant powerhouse, perfect for brightening your complexion and giving your skin the perfect moisture boost to finish your routine. Honey is amazing for your skin due to its ability to attract and retain moisture, giving your skin a beautiful honey glow. How to use Face Oil for glass skin Here's how you can include our Face oil in your glass skin routine: Gently warm a few drops of the Honey Infused Face Oil between your palms by rubbing them together. This step helps to enhance absorption and spread the oil evenly across your face. You have two options for applying the face oil: patting or massaging it into your skin. For the patting method, gently press the oil onto your face using your fingertips, focusing on areas that require extra hydration. Alternatively, you can massage the oil into your skin using upward circular motions, which not only helps with absorption but also promotes circulation and a healthy glow. Incorporating facial massages into your skincare routine can elevate the glass skin effect. Gently massage your face in upward motions to improve blood circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and enhance the absorption of skincare products.   Step 7: Sun Protection Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial in maintaining a youthful and glass-like complexion. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days. Sunscreen shields your skin from sun damage, prevents pigmentation, and maintains the overall health of your skin. Step 8: Subtle Honey Glow Dab the Honey Infused Beauty Balm onto your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, and collarbones as a nourishing alternative to a highlighter. This product is bursting with nourishing and brightening ingredients such as turmeric, our Bee Garden Oil Blend, and the Mirsalehi Honey, and will give your skin a subtle reflective glow.  Step 9: Healthy Lifestyle Habits Remember, achieving glass skin isn't solely about skincare products. A healthy lifestyle plays a significant role in the appearance of your skin. Get enough sleep, stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and manage stress levels. These habits will contribute to your overall skin health and radiance. Wrapping up The quest for glass skin may seem daunting at first, but with consistency and the right skincare routine, it is within your reach. By adopting a holistic approach that includes proper cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and sun protection, you can unlock the secrets to smooth, hydrated, and radiant skin. Remember, everyone's skin is unique, so it may take some experimentation to find the perfect combination of products that works for you.
