Protein rinses for your hair

Besides the after-shampoo herbal rinses mentioned here, you should also try some of these easy-to-make protein rinses to lubricate and condition your hair. However make sure that you do it on an easy day, when you are not going out.

Wheat germ rinse

Take 4 T of powdered wheat germ and tie it ip in a muslin bag. Soak the bag in 1 pint of water for 3 hours. Squeeze the bag and use the solution to rinse your hair.

Whey after shampoo rinse

Collect and strain whey, and use it as a rinse. Whey liquid contains abundant protein – so this is an awesome, inexpensive protein hair rinse, worth a try.

Oatmeal rinse

Fill a muslin bag with 4 T of powdered oatmeal and soak the fastened bag in a pint of water for 3-4 hours. Squeeze out the milky white liquid and use as a last rinse.

Home remedies for common cold

Common cold is a very common malady which affects people during monsoons. (Also see the post Beauty and body care in monsoon for a monsoon beauty regimen.) It can be caused by any one of more than 200 viruses. Normally it is confined to the nose and throat although the virus can infect the larynx and lungs.
