An instant tip to make greasy hair look better

Just as clothes retain the pungent odor of perspiration so does the hair. Our hot tropical climate aggravates the problem. Oily and combination hair tend to be more affected by this. Frequent shampooing is the only solution during such times. But when you are in hurry and when it is just not possible to wash your hair, then you will have to look out for some quick solution to get rid of the greasiness from your scalp and avoid a bad hair day. Here’s one such method to make the hair not only look less greasy but also appear dense and full-bodied.



Another trick is to take a piece of cotton wool, soak it in eau-de-cologne and gently rub along the scalp. The stickiness and oiliness from your limp hair will disappear making it look bouncy and manageable. And you will look presentable instantly. However, don’t overdo it. It can dry your hair considerably. This tip is not supposed to be a substitute for your regular shampooing/washing; so don’t try it frequently.

    The best tip is to wash it. It takes under a minute to wash my hair when itneeds it. So turn the water on to get it hot, jump in, suds, jump out. The shower doesn't have to be a commitment to clean everything.

    Avoid too much brushing of hair because it might further stimulate the oil glands that are already over-active.Wash your hair every third or fourth day or even more frequently, depending on individual comfort. A good nourishing liquid shampoo is often the best answer. Excessive oiliness if neglected can lead to falling hair. If treated in time it can be prevented.Wear your hair in easy-to-manage, well cut style. Light perming can help as it lifts the hair slightly away from the scalp, making it less easy for the sebum to travel up the hair shaft.

    Mainly due to hormonal problem, the sebaceous glands tend to become overactive and produce too much sebum.

    take hair spray and spray it on your finger tips, then massage it into the roots of your hair down to the ends. the hairspray absorbs some of the oil and makes it look less greasy.

    Watch your diet. Oily and fatty foods can contribute to greasy skin and scalp.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Get rid of head lice with these home remedies

Lice infestation is such a bothersome, distracting and embarrassing problem. Surely everyone harbors them at one time or the other. It is usually common among school children but soon spreads to other members of the family. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a sign of poor hygiene, as lice are not fussy whether they lay their eggs in clean or dirty hair. But yes, a dirty scalp can well serve as a perfect breeding ground for these tiresome creatures. Lice get transferred easily from child to child owing to the close contact of heads, during play, while sitting together or by sharing caps. Though there are many chemical and herbal over-the-counter preparations to remove lice, it is better to refrain from using them for they might also remove a good bit of your hair, while others could have a drying effect on the hair.  There are many home-remedies which do work well but the age-old method of regular combing with a close-toothed comb on all counts, is the most eff...
