5 Ways You’re Brushing Your Hair Wrong
// By Devina

Whenever we’re faced with a hair problem — whether it be static, grease, limpness — we tend to switch our shampoos, styling products, even the way we blow dry or straighten our hair. But the real trick may be changing how you brush your hair. Although brushing our hair is as natural as washing our hands or pouring a cup of coffee in the morning, it’s not as straightforward as you would believe. Find out what you’re doing wrong — and change your ways.

Brushing from the root to the tip.
Starting at the root and pulling the hair down to the tip pulls the hair out of the follicle, snapping it. Instead, work your way up by starting to comb a few inches up from the bottom, taking out tangles, then moving up a few inches, removing more tangles and working up to the root in these small sections.

Brushing when wet.
The hair fibers get filled with moisture, causing them to stretch. Because the strands are now weaker, breakage is much more common. Allow your hair to air dry before detangling.

Detangling with a paddle brush. 
A paddle brush is too harsh to detangle, whether dry or wet. You want to use a wide-tooth comb, but first apply a detangling product. Use a spray for fine hair, a lotion for medium thickness and a cream for thick or coarse hair. The hair will then be slippery and the comb will go right through.

Brushing too much. 
If you’ve seen any old movies or TV shows, you may remember women sitting in the front of the mirror counting every brush stroke until they reached 100. However, over brushing can actually cause more breakage. Instead, focus on the quality of the brushing, not the number of strokes. Eliminate the knots and you’re done.

Causing static with your brush. 
Brushing too often can also cause static from the friction. Before brushing, pit hair serum on the hair strand to control flyways. You can also rub a few drops of hair oil between your fingertips and run through the hair

#TIP to clean the brush: First remove any hair caught in the bristles and then run the brush under warm water. Add shampoo or hand wash and work it into the bristles, creating a foam. Then rinse the brush off completely and set on a towel to dry.

The Hair Story: Reader's Special Post #2
// By Devina

Trust me, lately I have been seeing some of the best hairstyles in the pictures of my blog readers, women essentially! Continuing the 50,000 blog hit celebrations, I couldn't wait to write another post on my readers! Last week I did a readers special post on men who have been avid followers of my blog, and today's post is dedicated to the beautiful women out there!

Even though some of us have been tying our hair all because of summers, I have still managed to get some really stunning pictures of hair and it's style! Hair care is so essential especially in this summer, for a complete guide on how to maintain your goldy lock you can refer to my hair care boot camp!





And here it goes!


What is that feeling called when you love, love and love someone's hair and how much you wish you could have the same long, straight, always in place kind of locks?! Well Neha's hair secret is that her hair genes were way too straight and always look perfect.


That kind of hair that makes you tell that curls are the most sexy form of hair belong to my best friend Sanchita who also happens to be Guilty Bytes (so-called) critique. The volume of her hair never ends giving her the perfect look anytime of the day!



People who love fashion really know what hairdo goes best with their outfit of the day! Here is Akanksha, a fashion lover and blogger who according to me has one of the most impressive set of soft waves running in her hair.  


Waves and softer curls makes Sugandh's hair stand out in the mid length hair category! What I really like about her hair is the fact that the haircut itself is so nicely done that the waves stand out in a step format.


TNM and hair experimentation go together. Neha who also happens to have thick(est) hair on this planet really does look beautiful in soft curls. Though I have seen straight hair most of the times on her, the soft curls, omg they just make her look royally beautiful!


Short hair and beautiful fringe makes Vidhi's hair as lovely as she is! Her hair are sorted, they could be moved to any direction, any style with a single blow dry. And did I tell you, her hair is so smooth that no one could ever guess if she had ironed them or no (on a daily basis).


And here is Ibadat with her rocker waves. I love the way how she adds character to her shoulder length cut with piecy, roughed up texture. 


Curly hair looks best when it's shoulder length or longer, and with a few layers cut in to keep it from looking bottom-heavy or boxy, and doing absolute justice to curls and softer ones is Mrs. Aastha Sharma Bhasin. her curls are flattering, don't yo agree with me?


I love long hair. I love hair that's got great length, that looks straight and the ones that remind me of Rapunzel! I love Pratishtha's flowy hair amidst this summer! 


A casual short straight hairstyle is free-flowing, easy-going, and one that falls into place on its own. What I adore about Varsha's hair is that It's the kind of hairstyle you'd wear to almost any laid back occasion or outing.


Sahar has a Gorgeous, Simple Hairstyle for Straight, Long Hair. I am so loving her thick, shiny and sleek strands!


Last but not the least is my childhood favorite hair & style from Prerana. This petite woman has had some of the best hair do's on this planet. What I love the most about her hair is that they are straight and wavy and sport the best layers in the town!

Hair is one the most beautiful element in a woman's body. Please take care of your hair and in case you need to know my personal hair care secret your can read my blogpost Here

Hair Care Boot Camp on GuiltyBytes!
// By Devina

Lately I have started to receive a lot of queries regarding fashion, styling options, makeup, products and Hair, my hair! It gives me so much happiness to write on a topic that my readers are wanting to read on. So today I bring to you, Hair Care Boot Camp.



I have often been complimented for my extended locks and every-time my readers drop a comment or when some friend tells me that they like my hair, it just makes my day! (of-course post the compliment I go on blushing spree for forever). As you can see in the above picture collage, I have changed multiple hair styles and yet managed to have the kind of hair I have always wanted to.

Okay so here are my hair confessions
  • Due to overexposure in sun (largely due to sports in school and college time) my hair texture is a bit dry on the ends
  • Demographic change (again due to Military Daddy relocating every two years) has thinned my hair
  • The good side is the over extended length, no matter how often I get a haircut, my hair grows pretty fast
  • Very few split ends, like very few and a clean scalp
  • Waviness makes the hair good to look at whenever wherever
  • Lastly, the best part is that  my hair has never been infected by any chemical treatments

What do I do to keep them healthy?


Get your hands on few important hair care products. Uncomb and comb your hair by applying a hair Serum everyday. Oil your hair once every week, and do it with an Olive Oil (If you have extra oily hair then use oil not on the roots but run it through your hair strands). After your oiling regime, wet a towel in hot water, rinse it and wrap it on your oil filled head for some steam massage and rinse. Apply Hair conditioner after shampooing no matter what (a lot of women avoid conditioning due to lack of time, but darlings start swearing by it). Go for a shampoo that is rich in Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, it cleans the hair without stripping the hair of it;s essential oils. Start visiting a salon for regular trimming if you want your hair to grow like a Rapunzel. Avoid chemical treatments as much as you can, but if you have truly unmanageable hair then you can go in for hair smoothing on the crown region, but hey my hair is chemical free, i cant swear by this for sure. My last hair care secret is the yogurt recipe. In a bowl of yogurt, add 1 egg white, half lemon juice, 2 tsp olive oil and glycerin. Last tip in-order to get long hair, comb your hair backwards, its little tiring, but it sure helps!
It's my mumma's secret recipe, keep it safe all you lovely readers and don't forget to follow Boot camp treatment for happy and healthy hair!

Hope this post is of help, in-case you want to know more, just write in to miss guilty! :)
