Lighten hair-Chamomile Tea

Bikini line rash-Green tea bags

Dry hair-Coconut oil

Sunburn Relief-Aloe Vera

Lighten your hair with tea: Rinse hair with a mixture of chamomile and fresh lemon juice to lighten your hair. Allow your hair to dry while sitting in the sun.

Bikini line rash: An instant remedy to cure bikini line rash is chilled tea bags. Put used camomile or green tea bags in the freezer for about 15 minutes and use it to soothe bikini area.

Dried hair: During the Summer, the sun, sand and chlorine from the pool can have harmful effects on your hair. Defeat this horrible incident by whipping a moisturizing DIY mask at home. Take one tbsp of honey and one tbsp of coconut oil then mix it in a blender. After that, apply this concoction from the hair shaft to the ends. Once done, use a shower cap to cover your head. After 20-25 minutes rinse off your hair.

Aloe Vera for sunburn relief: Fill up an ice-cube tray with aloe vera gel and keep it in your freezer until you get a sunburn then pop out as many cubes as needed and apply it on your sunburn for instant relief.
