Nine Tips for Healthy Hair

No matter what type of hair nature blessed you with, there are things you can do to keep it healthy, lustrous, looking its best. Here are some tips for a healthy head of hair from the tradition of Ayurveda, the 5,000-year old healing tradition that originated in India:

Healthy Hair Tips.1

Healthy Hair

Like everything else about true, lasting beauty, healthy hair begins within your body. Start with your diet. Include lots of green leafy vegetables and sweet juicy fruits. Dairy products such as milk and fresh yogurt will also help. Fresh coconut is also considered excellent "hair food" - sprinkle grated coconut over salads, diced fresh fruit, or rice.

Cut down on refined, processed and canned foods. Ayurveda considers foods with artificial preservatives and chemical additives stripped of their inherent "intelligence" and therefore not helpful in supplying nutrition to your body and mind. Ice-cold beverages also hamper the process of digestion and assimilation of nutrients.

Cooking with certain spices adds flavor to your food and provides nourishment for your hair. Cumin, turmeric and black pepper are some "hair-friendly" spices. Add a healthy pinch of each to single-portion soups and stews as they are cooking. Saut - 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon each of the three spices in a teaspoon of ghee (clarified butter) or olive oil and add to cooked veggies. Roasted ground cumin and ground black pepper can be sprinkled over fresh yogurt.

Stress can be seriously injurious to long-term health and color of hair. Try and manage your time and tasks to minimize time-related pressures. Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation. Seek out tranquil sights in nature to help restore balance to your mind. Relaxing or uplifting music can be therapeutic. Get adequate, good quality sleep to help the natural process of rejuvenation.

Ayurvedic herbs that help hair health include Eclipta alba and Gotu Kola. Eclipta alba is called "Bhringaraj" - literally, king of tresses. It nourishes the hair and helps resistance to stress as well. Brahmi, sometimes called Gotu Kola, also helps balance the mind and nourishes the hair and scalp. Since Ayurveda considers the health, color and luster of hair so dependent on overall mind/body health, synergistic Ayurvedic herbal preparations for hair can also include herbs such as Country Mallow, which is supposed to strengthen the physiology, and Winter Cherry, which aids resistance to stress.

Stay away from harsh chemical topical products that can damage hair over time. Look for gentle, natural cleansers and conditioners, especially if you wash your hair more than three times a week. Shampoos and conditioners that contain nourishing botanicals are even better. Read labels carefully - sometimes, products that say "herbal" or "natural" can include no-no chemicals.

A warm oil scalp massage two or three times a week will help stimulate and moisturize the scalp. You can use good quality coconut, almond or olive oil Ayurvedic hair oils also contain some of the herbs mentioned earlier. Apply some mildly warmed oil to your hair and gently massage into your scalp evenly with your fingertips. Leave on overnight if you can, if not, leave on for at least an hour or two, then get it out by shampooing your hair. The scalp massage helps you relax and aids sound sleep as well.

Never attack wet hair with a brush, no matter how rushed for time you are. Tangles in wet hair are best removed with a wide-toothed comb. Use a wooden comb if you can find one; it won't generate static electricity. Excessive blow-drying can damage hair in the long-term, making it brittle and causing split ends. If you can, let your hair dry naturally, then brush into place.

Last, but not least, brushing your hair regularly to stimulate the scalp will keep it looking healthy and lustrous. Brush each night in all directions in turn - left to right, right to left, front to back and back to front Use smooth long strokes from scalp to hair-tips.

Your hair can indeed be your crowning glory if you treat it right!

Acne Treatment

What can you do about acne on your own?

Think back to the three basic causes of acne and you can understand why the focus of both home treatment and prescription therapy is to (1) unclog pores, (2) kill bacteria, and (3) minimize oil. But first a word about...

Lifestyle: Moderation and regularity are good things, but not everyone can sleep eight hours, eat three good meals, and drink eight glasses of water a day. You can, however, still control your acne even if your routine is frantic and unpredictable. Probably the most useful lifestyle changes you can make are to apply hot compresses to pustules and cysts, to get facials (see below), and never to pick or squeeze pimples. Playing with or popping pimples, no matter how careful and clean you are, nearly always makes bumps stay redder and bumpier longer. People often refer to redness as "scarring," but fortunately it usually isn't in the permanent sense. It's just a mark that takes months to fade if left entirely alone.

An Easy Illustrated Guide to Using Makeup

Many friends ask me how do I prevent smudging, stains, powder falling under the eyes, blurred look bad, which exceeds, etc..
I have my stuff that I have developed with time and experience. I share with you today

1. Not to exceed the outer corner of the eyelid

It is not easy to observe the imaginary line between the outer corner of the eye and the end of the eyebrow. The dark eyeshadow should never exceed this line.
I have two methods: either I ask the person I make up holding a folded handkerchief I place through where the line should be or I place tape (sticky least possible not to injure the person during withdrawal) to the desired location, and once I remove makeup done. It creates a kind of template. Very effective.

2. To prevent eye powder or flakes fall under the eye

One of the most common problems. There are 3 techniques:
First, I use the same paper towel folded in half and I stand by the person I makeup. It must hold tightly to tense it up and it is perfectly adhered to the skin (no spaces or gaps between the tissue and the skin). To better achieve this, we must take with two hands or two fingers apart each end of the handkerchief.
Second, I apply a lot of loose powder translucent in the eye with a brush fan (the skin should be completely saturated powder. We should no longer see the skin) and I withdraw sweeping the eyeshadow once applied . This prevents the paint from sticking to the skin. Falling on loose powder, it is easy to remove later.
The third is to apply the paint sitting at a table and ask the mirror on the latter. In this way, you look down, so that the shadow falls on the table and not on the face. This is not my favorite technique, by cons. If your eye is not too glittery or volatile, you can simply try to apply it with a sponge applicator or your fingers rather than a brush. The paint adheres better to the skin and under eye drops.

3. To prevent smudging mascara application

So many people get smudged when applying mascara. To avoid this problem, I have a simple technique. Simply place your finger or a pencil horizontally behind the eyelashes during the passage of the brush, and press the brush against the finger so that the eyelashes stick it. This technique also has the advantage of better curl the eyelashes (as they are pressed against the finger) and better separation, since stronger based on the brush. The finger is then stained, but it is much easier to remove everything on a finger in the face!
If you put mascara on the bottom lashes, it is best to go with the pencil, because the finger is too big for this section. Same with upper lids if they are very short.

4. For perfect eyebrows

If you have difficulty creating two rows of symmetrical eyebrows and the same size, eyebrow stencils are perfect. They exist in many forms. Once you have found yours, just fill the holes with a pencil or powder eyebrow and presto, you have a perfect shape! For those who have not the eye, there is a version that carries with elastic all around the head. Thus, the eyebrows are the same height.

5. For a liquid eyeliner flawless

It is very difficult for a beginner to make a beautiful eyeliner.If you are a beginner and have uncertain hand, the technique of drawing number works.Simply draw several small points at strategic locations and to connect them, then. Try!

Treatment for Healthy Hair

Treatment for Healthy Hair
For healthy and shiny hair recommend a decoction of the following herbs: nettle, burdock root, root, thistle and walnut leaves!

I'll probably ask if I mad, no, I did not!

My grandmother always made this mix and I could boast shiny and often!

Helps in hair growth!

Allow mixture to boil, and the liquid that remains after removing the plants / roots rinse your hair! Try not to touch the face, where it says put this "potion" will grow hair!

Walnut leaves give a reddish tint hair is an alternative to paint and chamomile, chamomile lighten hair only!

I hope I could be helpful!

Coming up with a great wedding Colour is a very stressful part of any wedding. The colour scheme not only sets the tone for the wedding but the rest of your planning is also based on it.

Here are a few colour options you should try out...

Navy blue and pink
A perfect balance between a dark masculine colour and a pretty feminine colour — this combination is one of the many wedding colours to choose from. You can also have your guests sport this colour combo - as couples or singles! This colour has somewhat a preppy feel to it. You can have this colour as a simple centrepiece scheme with printed patterns or a small polka dot.

Lavender and sage
If you are getting married during the summer or the spring season, this is a perfect colour combo to choose. It will lend your wedding a garden like feel and is also touted to be one of the best colour options for a morning outdoor wedding. For the bouquets, you can include lilacs, or white amaryllis flowers or maybe actual sage to have everything colour coordinated for the wedding.

Red and orange
This colour combination is ideal for those who are looking at organising a rich, gaudy wedding. You can have the bride as well as the groom including the guests sport this colour combination. Apart from this, you can also use real red and orange leaves as a part of your table decorations. Those who choose to wear orange dresses would look absolutely adorable with red and white bouquets and you can also have a pop of red colour against your white table setting.

Maroon and pink
While it might not be the one of the first colour combinations that comes to your mind, but trying out two hues from the same colour family can be quite innovating. By combining these two colours — you can offset the darker maroon with the lighter and a more playful pink. Depending on which colour you prefer, you can also emphasise either the maroon or the pink and have accents of the other colour as the main colour scheme.

Maintaining Healthy And Beautiful Nails

Nails highlight our hands and fingers if they are well maintained and clean. However, many women do not realize what an important part nails play in our daily life and affect our health. While clean and healthy nails not only add to our personality and looks, dirty, chipped and infected nails can also lead to various ailments and problems as we used the same hands to eat and care for our hygiene.

Thus, it becomes very important to keep our nails healthy and clean. Along with it, if we pay a little attention, we can increase the value of our hands and fingers by maintaining our nails so that they look beautiful and attractive.

Here are some tips and ideas on how to keep your nails healthy and beautiful:

In order to maintain healthy and beautiful nails, it is important to take in diet that is rich in vitamin A, calcium and phosphorus as it will prevent the nails from going dry and brittle. Foods rich in vitamin A include apricots, carrots, cheese and broccoli. It is essential to include milk, yogurt and almonds as they are very beneficial for nails.
Eating foods rich in proteins, folic acids and vitamin C will prevent hang nails that are small strips of skin that get separated from the cuticles. Eggs, fish, liver and beef are all very good for nail health and prevent dryness and darkening. A diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables and proteins will help to get beautiful and healthy nails.
Most of the infections in the nails or skin occur as a result of cuticles that removed the wrong way. The main purpose of the cuticles is to protect the nail bed from inflammation and infections and the right way to remove cuticles by first softening the cuticle either by shower or with help of some lotion and push them back to raise them for safe removal. In many cases, inexperienced beauticians who are not expert in manicure and pedicure pull or remove them forcefully which leads to infection, inflammation and torn skin.
Do not chew or bite your nails as it harms the nail tissue and also affects the shape and size of nails. The nail growth is affected and the skin bed surrounding the nail also gets affected if you constantly chew or bite them.
Gels, acrylics and stick-on badly affect the nails if they are used excessively. The best way to keep them healthy is to keep them natural. Use nail polish and other means to decorate them but occasionally as nails also need to breath and too much of artificial stuff hampers their health. Artificial nails contain chemicals and glue that can cause fungal infection to the nails and also seep through the nail plate and damage the bed.
Also avoid using nail polish removers that contain acetone or formaldehyde as they are not good for nail health and even skin. After using nail polish remover, wash your hands with soap and water to get rid of the dangerous chemicals.
Keep the nails short and clean as it is better to have nails that look good short and clean instead of dirty and broken nails. No matter how long your nails are they look bad and unhygienic if they are dirty and uneven.

Just like skin, nails also need hydration and moisture. Drink lots of water so that your skin remains supple and smooth and the nails look good. Keep the nails filed so that they look good and apply some lotion or cream before going to bed too to maintain healthy and beautiful nails.
