For that perfect beach hair

Swimming in the cool waters of the pool or paddling through the sea waves is a great way to unwind after a hectic weekend, but it doesn't do any good to your pretty curls. So if your naturally curly hair looks battered & frizzy after a swim, it's high time you did something for it.

After your swimming session, squeeze out excess water and apply a silicone-based hair serum like Zero Frizz Corrective Hair Serum, SPECIAL EFFECTS Psycho Silicone Smoothing Polish, Maxius The End-Silicone Shine Enhancer or Ken Paves Healthy Hair Shine Serum. The silicone locks in the moisture, producing defined ringlets, but blocks out wind and heat, which cause frizz.

    If you have a bit of a curl in your hair and it dries without you combing it while you are at the beach, thats why you are getting the waves. You might consider having a very large rod perm. And every time you wash it comb it in the shower after conditioning and then wrap you hair in a towel without rubbing it. Then take your hair down and finger comb it and leave it alone until it dries.....it will work.

    Use a scrunching spray on clean, damp hair, such as fekkai found at sephora or sephora.com. Or run out to your local drug store or grocery store and purchase a curl enhancing gel and wave spray. After washing and combing your hair through, use the gel and spray and scrunch hair up toward the roots until your hair is nearly dry. Then set it with a light/flexible hairspray.

  4. put like mousse or hairspray all over your hair.
    then section your hair in fours.
    now, grab each section and part it even more so when you curl that part is not a bunch of hair.
    leave it be, but once you're done with every section you just run your fingers through you're hair and you'll have perfect beach waves. :)

  5. Get a bottle, fill it up with water, add some salt, and spray it into your hair. Then braid it in two big pigtails and leave it there for 20 minutes. Let it out and beachy waves :D it'll even smell like it, too! good luck!

  7. its hard to explain but using straighteners works
    just straighten from the top and curl them round towards the bottom or if you want riglets start from the top
    you need good straighteners tho like ghds or something

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...
