Tips for conditioning your hair

All types of hair need a conditioner –even oily hair. Whilst some people prefer to use conditioners only on special occasions, the regular use of conditioner will help protect your hair cuticle and, thereby, protect the natural shine and beautiful condition of your hair. Even hair that is in ‘perfect’ condition needs gentle protection, especially if it has a tendency to be dry. Conditioners also help neutralize static electricity.

For your regular conditioning application after shampooing, follow these steps:

1. Thoroughly rinse out the shampoo.

2. Apply a sufficient amount of conditioner to cover hair lightly and evenly.

3. Allow the conditioner to remain on hair for 60 seconds while you gently massage it through.

4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until hair feels smooth and tangle-free.

5. Use a wide-toothed comb to gently smooth out any remaining tangles.

    I find using conditioner once in a while rather than everyday actually keeps the hair healthier. I also found that washing my hair every 2 or 3 days actually keeps them nice for longer

    Conditioning hair so important.After awhile you will notice a big difference! If you think your hair feels to greasy when you condition it try deep conditioning it about every two days. Some peoples scalp produces the oils found in conditioners very fast! To keep your scalp healthy and your hair growing without using conditioner at all, try vitamin E!!

    I've heard drenching your hair with mayonaise and a small amount of olive oil and leaving it there for about five to ten minutes then washing it out really conditions and softens you hair.

    Prepare your skin/hair care products for immediate use. Use only fresh ingredients. Create the skin/hair care products for your skin type. Use a non-metallic (ceramic, glass, enamel) containers, metal can have chemical reactions with natural products. It is best to use a small but powerful food processor or blender to make a smooth paste.Keep all substances away from your eyes. Some substances (ex: lemon, alcohol) used in recipes can irritate the eyes. Always cool finished products to a comfortable temperature to apply to the skin.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
