Jamal Hammadi's Hair Care Tips

Jamal Hammadi's  tips for healthy, shiny and black hair have worked wonders for my hair. I had always used amla for my hair but avocado oil was something  new to me. After going through his tips, I did get a small bottle and used it for a month or so and my hair with a normal to dry texture became amazingly soft, shiny and frizz-free. It's indeed a very good oil for overnight scalp massage. My mane which was used to the goodness of either coconut oil, olive oil or sesame oil easily took to avocado oil. Overall, I found his tips quite useful though I'm yet to try a shea butter moisturizer for my hair.

Now I'm all the more eager to get some more hair care tips and advice from this renowned hair expert, whose clientele includes Drew Barrymore, Sharon Stone and Meg Ryan.  Says Jamal, " I believe that less is more. Today's generation uses too many products which results in dry, dull hair. I believe in going back to the basics." Let's see what else he has in store for us.

Brush your hair with a wooden comb at night.
Jamal also suggests using a mix of slightly warmed avocado oil with coconut oil to massage your scalp. Leave it overnight and wash it off in the morning and you'll  love he way your hair will feel, he says. He also speaks highly about Tea tree oil. Tea tree Oil, that's used for acne, is also fantastic for your hair and helps maintain your hair's pH balance, he claims. And if you love to brush your tresses at least once if not a hundred times before sleeping, do so with a wooden comb, he suggests. Combing your hair with a wooden comb supposedly activates the natural oil secretion which lends moisture to the hair.
Jamal's DIY conditioner for fabulously soft hair
Usually experts are known to recommend expensive shampoos, conditioners, serums or luxurious deep-conditioning spa treatments. So this comes as a surprise. Here Jamal recommends a simple DIY conditioner that can give you fabulously soft hair. Why invest in some fancy conditioner, when a cheaper one can easily be prepared by you, he quips.
The hair pack:
Blend egg white and cucumber in the mixer, add a few tsps of coconut oil, apply on hair and leave it on for 40 minutes. The results will be miraculous!

    Get Extra Virgin Olive Oil and cover your hair with it, about once or twice a week. I usually heat it up a little bit and leave it in overnight.

    I love to rinse my hair in iced chamomile tea with lemon. It makes my hair really shinny and silky. Oh and it helps add highlights.

  6. Don't wash your hair everyday. I had them in two years ago and I only washed my hair every three days or so. Use a pick to comb out your hair, not a brush. Don't pull on them too much.

    -NEVER use a hair brush. Only a wide tooth comb when your hair is wet, preferably in the shower when your hair has conditioner in it. - Don't use products with silicones in them .

    Lemon juice and coconut milk are best ingredients for straightening your hair naturally. If both are mixed, it will act as a cream conditioner and help in straightening the hair. After mixing, apply the paste and wash your hair with lukewarm water. A clear difference will be noticed if done twice a week

The ache of acne (pimples)

Acne is often the bane of a pretty face. It is painful more emotionally than physically, for the scar that it leaves behind can last for a lifetime, adding to one’s miserable look & feeling. No doubt many expensive skin care clinics have mushroomed in ever nook & corner, offering to clear all the scars & blemishes on the face, but they are very expensive & charge exorbitant price for each sitting; not everyone can afford them. So why not try out this simple skin care regimen to minimize the damage caused by acne & as far as possible prevent its eruption.

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. It is said that there is no particular cure for colds, they are naturally relieved within a week. Treatment is just an attempt to relieve its symptoms such as headache, stuffy nose, sore-throat and congestion. Paracetamol tablets are generally taken to get relief from these symptoms.

Beating stress – some tips

It is very difficult to come across a happy, contented face in a crowd these days. Stress has become a way of life with people these days. Sure, we all need to be a little tense once in a blue moon. After all it acts as a positive force and helps us get things done. But when tension becomes a habit with us and we are unable to cope up with it, we say we are undergoing stress. Some people are simply born more tense than others. Children of over-anxious parents generally grow up to be more anxious than the others.

For a good night's sleep

 Everyone of us, at one time or the other has been pestered by sleep problems. Sleeplessness could be transient and short-term or chronic. When it becomes a chronic problem it takes the form of insomnia and requires special attention. The first noticeable signs of poor sleeping habits are dark circles under the eyes pale skin, hair loss. Getting enough sleep is a must. Without proper sleep, your mind does not work as clearly and efficiently. You feel drained physically and mentally. Exactly how much you need to sleep depends on your own individual internal system. While some can do with 4-5 hours; most of us need 7 to 9 hours of sleep. But instead of reaching for a pill or a glass of wine, it’s wise to try out these time-honoured remedies and lifestyle changes.

Natural remedies for dark circles around your eyes

Dark circles around your eyes. How unsightly they look and even your best dress and layers of make-up sometimes does not quite succeed in concealing them! Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker.
