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

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%.

Lemon as a beauty aid

The diminutive lemon is a very versatile beauty-aid and this cheap and golden-coloured fruit has excellent properties for enhancing your looks. Simple lemon-based preparations, you can mix in your own kitchen, will surely bring a dramatic transformation in your beauty regimen.

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...
