Remedy for dull, limp hair

Dull, lifeless hair can bounce back to life with a regular hair-care routine. Normally this happens with oily hair and to those tresses which have become unhealthy due to excessive exposure to the sun, chemicals and pollution.

dull hair

Here are some hints for managing such type of hair:

* Keep your hair absolutely clean at all times. Those who live in polluted environments need to shampoo the hair more frequently.
* Hair conditioning makes the hair look bouncy and full. So choose a good conditioner for your hair.
* A warm oil massage done once a week is the best stimulant for the scalp and hair. The oil conditions the hair, while the massage stimulates blood circulation and relaxes the mind. Leave the oil overnight and use a mild shampoo the next day. Lifeless hair will be rejuvenated with this treatment.
* For limp and dull hair, mix 5 drops of lemon juice in one egg and beat well. Apply systematically on every strand of hair. Cover hair with a shower cap and leave for 2 hours. Wash hair with a mild shampoo. Your hair will look thick and full.
* For a toning lotion, you can take a teaspoonful of vinegar and pour it onto a glass of clean water. Then apply it to the roots of the hair. Using the finger, gently massage the scalp. After 1 hour, wash it off with clean water and then set the hair by using a brush. Apply this lotion once a week.

    Dry hair is equally dull and looks limp and lifeless. It is in dire need of moisture and protein. Lubricants provide shine to your dull hair by spreading on the outside your hair cuticles. Similarly, humectants collect and preserve moisture and refill shafts of your hair and scalp. Simple remedies are-

    You find excellent remedy for your dull hair in moisturizers with humectants, a simple one being safflower oil. However, you should not apply safflower oil directly to your scalp. Instead, take a few drops in your hand and apply on hair ends while it is dry. You need to keep it on your hair for at least two hours before washing it off. This helps to bring in and retain enough moisture through humectants.
    It is better to avoid using different heat styling agents like curling irons and blow dryers as they cause breakage and split ends. This damages your hair.
    If you need to use blow dryers, try with lowest temperature and a round brush. You need to dry hair roots first.
    Apply conditioners on hair ends only and you need to comb through conditioners to preserve moisture of your hair.

    Take your vitamins: Vitamins and minerals play a very crucial and important key role in growing and keeping your hair healthy. Any nutritional deficiencies in your body will certainly contribute to hair loss.

    avocado. mashed. mix it with a tiny bit of olive oil or cholesterol (hair conditioning treatment from sally's) and put a plastic cap over your head for a half hour. then rinse with cool water, lightly shampoo and then condition. but damaged hair is damaged forever. no matter what youd o to it. it needs to grow out and be cut off to be healthy. oils and creams and all that only are a temporary fix and once rinsed out, the cuticles lift againa nd the damage shows again.

    use honey and lemon juice in your last rinse after shampooing hair, and do not wash it out. Instead, dry your hair well and brush vigorously.

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.

When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

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...

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.

Lemon as a beauty aid
