Angel

It occurred to me that not everyone is going to read Rise and Fall (Rude! Just kidding!🙃)

Backstory:

When Angel was eight, she moved from England to Australia with her parents and her three siblings. In Australia, they lived on a boat.

However, while out on the boat when Angel was ten, a huge storm hit. A lightning strike set fire to the boat and killed her father. A gigantic wave hit, throwing Angel and her mother overboard, resulting in the death of the latter.

Angel held onto her backpack in the water and washed up on a deserted island. Six days later, Shellington found her, suffering from hypothermia and a broken leg. Luckily, the Octonauts came to her rescue, but Angel must adjust to life without her family and with an unusual new family, having learned that animals can talk. To make things worse, she's scared of Captain Barnacles.

Fortunately, she was able to get over her fear. Although, it did take her four months. She got stuck on the side of a cliff while rescuing a little penguin chick (one of Peso's cousins) and the Captain offered her his paw to pull her to safety.

The Octonauts were pretty shocked when Angel hugged the Captain after that. Until then, she would scream every time he came near her!

On the 14th of January 2023, I was fortunate enough to take part in my first-ever painting class led by the talented Natalia Oracz @oracz.art at Irresistible Force @irresistible_force_games in Tanah Merah. We were instructed on the fundamentals of miniature painting, from the power of sketching and colour theory to manipulating a static sculpture with skin tones and subtle highlights and shadows. On top of that, Natalia taught us the finer details of the craft, from painting hair to the intricacies of NMM. Not only was Natalia an excellent teacher, but she was also incredibly supportive of each member of the class, regardless of their skill level. She was generous with her time and knowledge, and I was able to gain a lot of insight into the miniature painting world. I was also lucky enough to meet some amazing artists in the class, including @mischa_paints_minis, @mascott.miniatures, @josh_underhill8, and @seonavanderpol. I highly recommend giving their accounts a follow if you're interested in miniature painting. Finally, I'd like to extend my thanks to Natalia, her partner, Trent, and the team at Irresistible Force for organizing and hosting the class. I had an amazing time, and I won't hesitate to recommend or take one of Natalia's classes again in the future.

10 Tips for Straightening Your Hair Daily Without Causing Damage 

When one wants to keep his or her hair damage-free, straightening it daily can be a task and not an easy one. At Chilli Couture, Perth’s premium Organic Hair Salon, we help maintain healthy, full-of-life hair without giving up on sleek and polished hair. Following are ten expert tips on how to straighten your hair daily without causing harm, incorporating permanent hair straightening methods, natural hair straightener usage, and many more.

Choose the Right Tools   Invest in a good straightener with ceramic or tourmaline plates that distribute heat evenly and reduce the risk of damage. A good tool can make a big difference in keeping your hair healthy. 

Protective Pre-Styling Treatments     Always begin your hair straightening with a heat protectant. This could be in the form of a spray, cream, or serum to shield your strands from high temperatures. Here at Chilli Couture, we have various natural hair treatments to protect your hair from heat exposure and nourish it. 

Correct Temperature Settings     Never overheat. Always use the minimum temperature to get your hair straight. There’s no need to increase the heat to 230 degrees when your hair straightens at 180 degrees Celsius. 

Regular Deep Conditioning     Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment into your weekly hair care routine. This will replenish moisture and repair hair from the stress of daily heat styling. Our organic salon offers natural hair treatments that deeply nourish without using harsh chemicals.  

Permanent Hair Straightening     For those who straighten their hair every day, permanent hair straightening might be a worthwhile consideration. This treatment at Chilli Couture can significantly cut down your daily styling time and reduce heat exposure in the long run.  

Hydrate and Nourish     Keep your hair hydrated by drinking lots of water and using hydrating hair care products. Dehydrated hair is more prone to damage, so moisture is key. 

Use a Natural Hair Straightener     If one does not want to use any chemical treatment, then the natural hair straightener can be an alternative using ingredients from nature. Most of these contain elements that naturally straighten the hair without harsh chemicals. 

Avoid Repeated Heat Strokes     If straightening hair, minimise the number of times the straightener is passing over the same section. The rule should be no more than one to two times to avoid excessive heat exposure. 

Routine Trims   Regular trims in the form of cutting split ends will avoid further breakage of hair. Keeping your hair trimmed will make it look healthy and eliminate frequent straightening. 

Cool Down Period     Afterward, let the hair cool before styling or clipping it up to set your style and reduce further possible damage. 

With these simple tips, you, too, can have straight, sleek hair every day and still not have to compromise on the health of your hair. Beautiful hair is not only about styling it right but also about taking care of it well. Our experts at Chilli Couture specialise in organic and natural hair treatments and are always at hand for all your needs to achieve just the look you want without damage. Come see us today in Perth for a personal consultation and discover how our creative, organic methods will revolutionise the way you care for your hair.

Purple Day

Purple Day is a grassroots celebration that is aimed at raising worldwide awareness of epilepsy, a condition that affects over 65 million people globally. As a neurological condition that causes seizures and often begins in childhood, epilepsy is sometimes misunderstood which can lead to difficulty in social situations. The idea of Purple Day is to provide education to those who don’t understand the condition, as well as for those who have epilepsy to recognize that they are not alone.

Because lavender is the international colour for epilepsy and is also a colour that symbolises solitude, it only made sense that purple would be the colour of choice for this important day of recognition and awareness!

History of Purple Day

Cassidy Megan, a nine-year-old from Canada, founded Purple Day in 2008 when she was motivated by her own struggle with epilepsy. Cassidy’s efforts were supported by the Epilepsy Association of The Maritimes (EAM) of Canada, as well as the Anita Kaufmann Foundation of New York, and the day eventually became an international event.

In fact, Purple Day’s popularity grew quickly! The celebration in 2009, the second year of its existence, brought at least 100,00 students, 95 workplaces, and 116 politicians out to participate in the day’s festivities.

From there the day simply kept growing. It’s hard to believe that only 10 years later, in 2019, Purple Day had made its way to Disney World! Sponsored by the Epilepsy Foundation of Central Florida, Purple Day shared the magic with many participants. The day’s founder, Cassidy Megan, made a special appearance (wearing a purple evening gown, of course) and became good friends with Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Now, Purple Day is celebrated on every continent and in over 100 countries, in places such as India, Australia, South Africa, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Of notable importance, however, is the fact that the only nation whose government officially recognizes this day currently is Canada, which was put into effect with the Purple Day Act on June 28, 2012.

How to Celebrate Purple Day

Celebrating this day is not only fun, but is also important in raising awareness for this challenging neurological disorder. Try out these ideas or be creative with others ideas to help the cause:

Wear Purple

Obviously, one of the easiest things to do to honor the celebration of Purple Day is to pull something purple out of the closet and put it on. A purple shirt, dress, pants or hat will certainly do the trick. Or try dressing in purple from head to toe!

Consider stepping outside the box with purple eyeshadow, purple face glitter or purple lipstick. For those who are more committed to the cause, purple hair dye could make a huge impact.

People who would like to celebrate by wearing an official purple t-shirt for the day, can access a Purple Day t-shirt on the official website.

Organize a Purple Day Event

Host a special coffee morning, organize a quiz night or hold a murder mystery evening in support of Purple Day. (These can all be done in person or virtually.) The Epilepsy Society of the UK offers easy-to-use resources for gathering friends, family, and coworkers for an awareness event.

For more creative ideas, consider what people have done in the past in support of Purple Day. Some have raised funds for the charity by dying their hair purple, shaving their head completely, scaling 1000 flights of steps or giving up something they love for the month. Others have organized a fun run, walk, or cycle (26 miles is perfect on the 26th!) to raise awareness for those who live with epilepsy.

Alternatively, dress in purple and hold a purple-themed fund-raising event in aid of either EANS, The Anita Kaufman Foundation or any other charity supporting epilepsy awareness.

Learn about Epilepsy

Head over to the local library to check out some books that will provide interesting, educational information about the condition of epilepsy. The internet also offers a significant number of resources provided to raise awareness about this condition.

Even just reading through Cassidy Megan’s story can help folks become better aware and more understanding about the challenges and victories that are involved with this condition. Anything that can be done to learn more about epilepsy and tell others about Purple Day is a great way to honor this day.

Be Creative with Purple

It’s never too early to start sharing with children about epilepsy–especially if someone they know might be dealing with its effects. For families or school teachers, Purple Day is an ideal time to have kids wear purple.

But, more than that, it’s a good chance to dip into fun activities that give opportunities to share what the day is all about. Try these crafts and activities on for size:

In art class, explore the wide variety of shades of purple by creating basic geometric shapes and then mixing purple paint with whites and blacks.

For a less messy version, pull out all of the purple shades of construction paper and let the kids use their safety scissors to cut out shapes and combine them into art.

Create a purple-fizz volcano science experiment by using baking soda and white vinegar as well as food coloring in red and blue. Of course, it should probably be attempted outside or in an area that allows for easy clean up!

Have a Purple-Themed Dinner

Purple foods can be hard to come by, but it’s possible to have a nutritious meal with (mostly) the color purple. Not only are they fun to look at, but purple foods are packed full of nutritional value!

What’s on the menu for Purple Day? Well, eggplant might be the obvious choice for the main dish, while purple sweet potatoes or purple carrots might be another option (albeit a bit exotic and maybe harder to find). Try a purple cabbage slaw or purple kale (also called redbor) salad. Then round things out by serving a purple fruit salad using blackberries, purple grapes, blueberries, and purple acai berries.

For those who aren’t cooking an entire meal, purple yogurt (colored with berries) could be a fun snack. For beverages, consider options such as grape juice, grape KoolAid, or grape Fanta soda.

Become a Purple Ambassador

Anybody interested in raising awareness for epilepsy and supporting Purple Day can become an ‘Ambassador of Purple’. This role involves wearing purple and spreading awareness of epilepsy in the local community and to friends and family.

Purple Day Guiness Book of World Records

In 2017, Anita Kauffman, one of the original supporters of the day, initiated the setting of a Guinness World Record for the largest ever epilepsy training session. The event was combined with the Purple Day Walk and occurred at Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, USA.

Olive Oil: A brief discussion.

Olive oil is used in a lot of different ways. It is used to make salad dressing, sauté food, or even drink. Fresh olives press together to make olive oil with a beautiful dark green or golden colour and a strong flavour. Best Olive Oil Brand is Rincon de la Subbetica – Hojiblanca, produced by Almazaras de la Subbetica SL.

Olive oil is without a doubt the best cooking oil for your health. In many ways, it's good for your health. It shows to help keep blood sugar stable, supports healthy bones, reduces inflammation, and helps keep the heart healthy.

Describe Olive Oil:

Olive oil is the "milk" of the olive, the fruit of the olive plant, also called Olea europaea. People usually think these small trees are from the Mediterranean Basin, but they can now be worldwide. This bush is loved worldwide, from its roots in Europe to its new homes in South America, Australia, and New Zealand. 

The olive tree has long been a sign of peace between countries, and olive oil does the same thing for different tastes and textures.The type of shrub, the altitude at which it grows, the time of harvest, and the way it extracts greatly impact the way olive oil makes. 

But there are also similarities between plants. For example, all olive oil products have fatty acids in common. Up to 30 phenolic compounds in olive oil, such as elenolic acid, alpha-tocopherol, flavonoids, lignans, and pinoresinol, give it its bitter and slightly sour taste.

Different kinds of olive oil:

It is very important to use the right kind of olive oil. Olive oil has five main types: extra virgin, virgin, refined, pure olive, and olive pomace. Each olive oil has a different smoke point, which tells you what you can do with it. Use an oil with a high smoke point when you cook. Those with a low smoke point are used for quick sautees and salad dressings.

Extra virgin olive oil:

It's the best olive oil you can get. It processes cruelly, which keeps the natural ingredients from changing when exposed to high temperatures. Because of this, it has very little acid, even less than virgin olive oil.

Virgin olive oil:

It is an unrefined type of olive oil made by pressing olives with cold water. It has between 1 and 4 percent acidity, a bit more than most foods. Another great thing about this oil is that it can withstand high temperatures. Compared to extra virgin olive oil, it has a milder taste and is for cooking with low heat. It is also great for dressing salads.

Pure olive oil:

Pure olive oil is made by mixing refined oil with either extra virgin or virgin oil. It has a lot of vitamin E and is used in cooking, massages, and therapies.

Extracted olive oil:

It is of average quality. Most of the time, refined olive oil is used for cooking. It operates for all kinds of cooking but works best when the heat is high. It has the same amount of fat as the two oils above.

Olive pomace oil:

The worst olive oil on the market is "pomace." Pomace is made from the leftover bits and pieces after the fruit press. Even after the fruit packing, oil and water are left over. This last bit of fat is taken out and mixed with good oils to make it better. But this oil works best for massages and other kinds of treatments.

What's good about organic olive oil?

Cuts down on heart disease

70% of the fats in natural olive oil are monounsaturated. This lowers the amount of cholesterol in the blood, which makes heart problems less likely. Organic Olive Oil also makes diabetes and atherosclerosis less likely.

Helps hair and skin stay healthy

There is a lot of vitamin E in extra virgin olive oil. Extra pure olive oil has about 1.9 mg of vitamin E per tablespoon. The antioxidant vitamin E dissolves in fat. It can protect the eyes and skin from issues and make hair and skin healthier. It has been shown to protect against diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.

Cut down on diabetes and keep it from happening.

A rich diet in olive oil and low in saturated fats is best for people with diabetes; moderately high in carbohydrates and contains soluble fibre from fruits, vegetables, pulses, and grains. It helps control blood sugar, improve insulin, and lower "bad" low-density lipoproteins.

Improves cholesterol levels

Best Olive Oil Brand cuts down on total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. LDL cholesterol is bad, and having more of it makes you more likely to have a heart attack or pulmonary heart disease. Extra virgin olive oil, which has almost 40 antioxidant chemicals, helps keep LDL cholesterol from oxidising.

When to use cooking spray with olive oil

Olive oil cooking sprayers are used in the kitchen for various tasks, such as coating pans before cooking or adding flavour to food.

When baking, olive oil sprays are helpful because you can quickly spray a baking sheet before putting food on it or coat food with a quick pass of the spray.

Using the spray helps keep food and oil from getting stuck, adds flavour and is good for your health.

Again, oils with a higher smoke point, like canola oil, should be used for cooking at high temperatures, like frying or grilling.

On the other hand, you can use Spray Olive Oil on everything from salads to baking to snack foods like popcorn.

Conclusion:

Here is a guide to help you figure out which olive oil to use for cooking and which olive oil to dress a salad and antipasto. When you wish to fry using olive oil, use the light variety of olive oil. The best olive oil to use for dipping is extra virgin olive oil; it may also be used to season a dish and put the finishing touches on it. Extra virgin olive oil gives any dish or salad the perfect rich flavour to finish it off.

Gave Me the Blues and then Purple-Pink Skies

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 (the final stretch!)

Pairing: 13th Doctor x Reader

Word Count: 2,220

Warnings: None

Summary: You roll into the cavern, finding the origin of the music and the history behind it. The planet has one more surprise for you both though, a wonderful, delightful surprise.

You took in a deep breath and squeezed your eyes shut. Before you could psyche yourself out, you let go of the column that was holding you up. For a moment you felt weightless, suspended in empty space, then you plummeted.

Instinctively you curled inwards as you made contact with the soft dirt, and tumbled down. You couldn’t help but let out a delighted laugh as rolled down, it reminded you of when you used to do this as a kid, or that one scene in The Princess Bride.

When you reached the bottom you splayed outwards like a starfish, the stone below you cold against your back and cooling your pent up adrenaline. The Doctor skidded into your side, her arms lightly knocking against your hip as she stopped.

She poked her head out from under her arms, sporting a huge grin. “Oh mate, yeah, okay, that was fun.”

You laughed. “It was, wasn’t it.”

You pulled yourself up and peered around the cavern you’d found yourselves in. You gaped, in front of you was a wall made of the red dirt filled with intricate white paintings.

They glowed a soft yellow, the colour casting over the rest of the cave and causing the crystals to sparkle.

The crystals too, were unique and different to the rest of what you’d seen on this planet. They were pink, orange, purple, green, all the different colours and hues of the rainbow, and they wound a path towards an open archway to your left, which seemed to be the rest of the tunnel.

The crystals seemed to sing to you, their voices soft and guiding you to the wall. You pressed your fingers against the lining of one of the paintings, and it was rough under your touch.

It was only then you noticed that these weren’t just paintings, but they were carvings, and the deeper into the rock it went, the colour changed to match.

It was incredible.

“Oh,” the Doctor gasped, following you to the wall. “Is this the music you’ve been hearing?”

You nodded, not taking your eyes off your hand as you traced the grooves in the wall. “Yeah, it is.”

“It’s beautiful.”

You memorised the way the paintings felt under your hands, the way the coarse stone set little indentations against the beds of your fingers, and how warm it felt compared to the rest of the cavern.

The paintings stretched out across the wall, reminding you of cave paintings that dated back from the Stone Age, or the artworks of Aboriginal Australia, with their white ochre against red stone.

The Doctor took a step back and scanned the wall with her screwdriver. “Oh of course,” she scrutinised the screwdriver quickly before pocketing it, and came up to your side. She pointed to the painting on the top left corner. “Look at that one there, what’s it depicting?”

You squinted at it for a moment. “It looks like two people, but I’m not sure what the lines above them are supposed to be.”

“They’re the indigenous people of this region, look,” she used her hand to guide you through the paintings. “It’s a story, more than that, it’s the history of this tunnel. If you look, the tunnel opens itself up to help guide the native species out of the weather, the heat mustn’t be something that’s survivable.

“And these crystals,” she turned around, gesturing to the ones surrounding you, the ones that were pulsating bright pink, purple, and green lights. “They feed off of a particular energy you must give out, which must be the same as the people who normally come through.”

The Doctor scanned you quickly and you blinked against the orange light of the screwdriver. “Oh! It’s so obvious now!”

You took your hand from the wall so you could face her properly. “What is?”

“Humans, you’re brilliant, I swear!” She started throwing her hands about in the way she did when she was excited about a new discovery, or when she was explaining something when you were particularly clueless. “They feed off of the residual torsional energy that your endocrine systems produce-”

“My what energies?” You interrupted.

“-Oh, it’s not named until the 36th century. I think some people in your time describe it as an aura? It’s the energy that every human subconsciously produces - completely harmless, and these crystals here,” she spun around again. “Use that energy to keep you safe. It’s a migration chain! This tunnel exists so people can cross this desert safely.

“That’s why you could hear the music, and why I can only hear it now,” she continued, turning back to you with a delighted grin. “That music is them working, it’s them feeding off of that energy, which then connects back to you through a sympathetic resonance bonded on a quantum level.

“I can hear it now because we’re literally in the epicentre of it all. This is their battery, where they store up all their energy, and then they must disperse it throughout the tunnel.”

You turned around in a circle so you could fully take in your surroundings, looking at the crystals with a sense of newfound awe. No wonder it had felt so important, they had connected themselves to you.

Your gaze fell beyond the cavern, where the crystal wound down another path, one that looked brighter and more well used. You squinted, you were sure you could see the other side of the tunnel.

You let their energies thrum against yours, which was a peculiar sensation, and you silently wondered if you were just inventing it in your head. It was like the feeling of being really close to a base speaker, tickling your skin and your bones.

“So it’s safe?”

The Doctor nodded. “Completely. I reckon if we were to keep going, we’d be out in no time.”

You nodded, more to yourself than to her. “Right.”

The Doctor brushed her hand against a crystal and turned back to you. “Well then, shall we?”

You gave the wall behind you a final glance, and let the ambience of the cavern fall over you. “Yeah, let’s go.”

You weren’t exactly sure how to describe how you felt as you followed the Doctor through the remaining tunnel, but you were… lighter, somehow. Like some pieces inside your brain had slot themselves into place.

You weren’t even sure what exactly those pieces were, or why they had been out of place, but you definitely knew it was alright now.

The cool air nipped at your skin as you came to the mouth of the tunnel. You were surprised by the dramatic change of temperature, it had been so hot when you had landed, part of you had assumed it would remain so. It settled over your skin like a blanket, and you watched as the hairs on your arms stood on end.

It was odd, it wasn't uncomfortable like the cold could be back on Earth, there was personality to this coldness, like the light wind had a purpose as it wrapped itself around you.

Little white lights perforated the night sky, twinkling like they were putting on their own little show, just for you and the Doctor.

Under the dark sky, the sand lay forgotten and instead, dark, grassy, green hills swept in front of you. You had entered a valley, the sort that seemed to have been plucked straight out of a children’s fantasy book.

There was a glittering lake which reflected the sky and dozens of trees which you assumed provided shelter from the harsh sun during the day. You kicked your boot against some of the grass lightly, and watched as the dirt came away red, like the tunnel behind you.

Suddenly and all at once, a ripple of colour lit up the ground. When you looked up at the sky you saw a ribbon of coloured light, dancing like a carnival festival.

A brilliant pink road snaked into one of green, tangling itself into orange and a bright violet, blazing against the stars like a living organism. It took your breath away.

You gazed wide eyed at the most spectacular wonder you had seen in such a long time. It was so vibrant, with colours you couldn't even name tangling themselves into the atmosphere and stretching out toward the ground like the landing lights of some distant UFO.

You knew Earth had lights like these; the Aurora Borealis, but it wasn't anything like this. This was something different. It was almost as if the lights wanted to wrap themselves around you, to hold you, keep your grounded and safe. They swayed, flowed, changed shades and hues. It was magical.

"This is incredible," you spoke softly, not wanting to interrupt the way the colours danced.

You turned to see how The Doctor was reacting, only to see she was looking at you.

“Yeah,” she said, watching you like you were something wonderful. “It is.”

Oh –

The Doctor was looking at you the way she looks at a star being born, with that sort of delighted wonder she normally reserved for new and unique curiosities. She looked at you with reverence, like you were the only thing to bother focusing on, like you were the only thing worth it.

It made your heart stop.

You knew you were looking at her the same way, too.

In a stroke of boldness you reached for the Doctors hand, taking hers in your own. “Is this okay?”

The Doctor blinked, staring at your entwined hands and back at you. Your pulse hammered in your throat, and you tried to swallow it down. It wasn’t like you didn’t hold hands often, just, normally that was to navigate danger, and there was nothing dangerous about this moment right now.

Except for the fact that you were definitely wearing your heart on your sleeve.

“No, no, this is wonderful. Brilliant even,” the Doctor looked back up at you, grinning. “Absolutely brilliant.”

The lights danced over the Doctors face, you watched as the pink, orange, and emerald that lit up in the sky above you were reflected in her eyes.

You wondered if this was how the Doctor saw the universe, alight with colour, completely engulfed in brightness, each moment a love letter to time and space itself, a monument towards life itself, a kiss from the forces that be.

Or maybe you were just romanticising it because that’s how you thought of her.

“You’re brilliant y’know,” the Doctor said, softly. “Completely brilliant.”

You tried not to notice the heat you felt on your cheeks.

“No need to reply,” she added. “I just need you to know that.”

She still had sand plastered against her cheek, and her hair was frizzy, with a dusting of red dirt throughout it. Somehow, the Doctor had managed to get dirt stuck on her forehead too, and it was such a quaint addition to her face that you couldn’t help but smile.

Of course she’d managed to gather a collage of different dirt across her face. You could only assume you looked about the same.

You counted the freckles that dusted the bridge of her nose, mere inches from your face and – oh, wait. When had she gotten so close?

“Is this okay?” The Doctor asked, her breath tickling your lips.

For a moment, for one millisecond of a moment your brain short circuited, and before you could hastily nod or stutter out a more than eager response, the moment was broken.

The whirring, wheezing groan of the Tardis sounded beside you, and instinctively you both drew back to watch.

A laugh bubbled out of you as you watched that magnificent blue box with awful timing land itself next to you both, blocking your view of the tunnel behind it. “Of course she shows up now.”

The Doctor laughed along with you, and even though the moment was lost, it didn’t feel like it was gone. You were with her, standing on this strange planet, wearing your stuffy clothes, and surviving a formidable adventure through a tunnel, and feeling utterly elated that you got to have that all with The Doctor.

“I’ve got to be honest,” you said. “This was better than Erinda.”

The Doctor gave you a mirthful smile and snapped her fingers, the Tardis doors opening next to you. “Yeah, she knows how to do that sometimes. Still though, shall we go? Erinda? Pink snow?”

You screwed your face up. “After a day like today, I think I’m in need of a shower, Doc.”

“Ah yeah,” the Doctor ran a hand through her hair. “A shower sounds like a good idea.”

And with that you entered the Tardis, your hand still in hers, and an entire universe to explore.

A/N: Aaaand it’s done, over, finito, complete! Thank you so much absolutely everyone for all the comments and love you’ve given this, and a super special thank you to @kisstherainwriting for being so supportive and wonderful. I have had so much fun doing this, there’ll definitely be more fics in the future! ❤️❤️❤️

Hair Botox or Keratin Treatment: Which Delivers Superior Results?

When it comes to achieving silky, manageable hair, two treatments often take center stage: Hair Botox and Keratin Treatments. At Chilli Couture, Perth’s leading organic hair salon, we offer these popular services to help you choose the perfect option for your hair.

What is a Keratin Hair Treatment?

Keratin Hair Treatment Keratin Hair Treatment, also known as a keratin smoothing treatment, is celebrated for its ability to smooth and straighten hair. This treatment infuses keratin—a natural protein found in hair—into your strands, resulting in a sleek, frizz-free appearance. Ideal for those seeking a long-lasting hair straightening solution without harsh chemicals, Keratin Treatment offers a transformative experience.

What is a Botox Hair Treatment?

Botox Hair Treatment Botox Hair Treatment, on the other hand, is a deep conditioning treatment designed to repair damaged hair. It fills gaps in the hair fibers, restoring lost proteins and giving your hair a rejuvenated look. This treatment is perfect for eliminating frizz while adding volume and shine, making it ideal for anyone looking to revive their hair without altering its natural structure.

Keratin vs. Botox: Which One is Right for You?

Hair Goals: If your aim is straight, sleek hair, a Keratin Hair Treatment at Chilli Couture in Perth might be your best bet. For those focused on repairing damage while achieving a voluminous look, Botox Hair Treatment may deliver better results.

Treatment Lifespan: Keratin treatments typically last between 2-5 months, depending on hair type and care, while Botox treatments may require more frequent visits to the salon for maintenance.

Chemical Considerations: At Chilli Couture, our Keratin and Botox treatments are selected for their natural ingredients, minimizing exposure to harsh chemicals. However, it’s important to note that Keratin treatments may contain ingredients that release formaldehyde, which is something to consider if you have sensitive skin or scalp.

Hair Type Suitability: Keratin works wonders on thick, curly, or frizzy hair, providing a smoother, straighter appearance. Botox, however, is versatile and great for all hair types, especially those that are significantly damaged or thin and in need of extra nourishment.

Both Keratin and Botox hair treatments offer distinct benefits. Your choice should depend on your hair goals, lifestyle, and current hair condition. At Chilli Couture, recognized as Perth’s top hair salon, our experts specialize in luxury, organic, and natural hair treatments. We’re here to guide you in selecting the perfect treatment for your hair, ensuring you leave our salon with stunning results.

Transform your hair into something extraordinary at Chilli Couture, Perth’s premier destination for organic and luxury hair treatments. Whether you’re seeking the revitalizing benefits of Botox or the rejuvenating effects of Keratin, we have everything you need to achieve outstanding results. Let us pamper your hair with the care it truly deserves!

What’s the last sporting event you watched? Technically I guess I watched some of the 2018 Olympics while waiting for food in a restaurant but it was snowboarding and I don’t care what society says, it’s not a sport if its point system relies on judging. And I honestly can’t remember what the last sport I watched before that was. (Probably hockey.)
