How to Get Longer & Thicker Hair

There are many ways that one can achieve longer and thicker hair. You can try any one of these methods to see which provides you with the best results.

The first method to get your hair to grow longer and thicker is to change your diet. Diets that consist of fast foods are not healthy and stimulating for hair growth. Change your diet to food with protein with a variety of nutrients that are healthy for the body. This includes eggs, lean turkey, fruits, vegetables, and milk. You will begin to see improved hair growth in a few weeks.

Another method is to massage your scalp regularly. Make sure to use oils that will stimulate follicles in the hair. Oils that you can use may include olive oil, almond oil, and jojoba oil. Massaging on a regular basis will make your hair shiny and stimulating the follicles will encourage hair growth. Vitamin E is a major component of these oils that helps to repair damaged hair.

For long and thick hair it’s also important to trim your hair. Sometimes cutting one's hair can be scary. Don’t cut the hair just trim the split ends. By simply trimming the ends the damaged part of the hair will be removed allowing for healthy hair growth. Those inexperienced with cutting hair should visit a professional to insure the split ends are cut properly.

Aloe Vera gel can also be applied to your hair at least one day a week. The healing properties available using Aloe Vera help to repair damaged hair and hair follicles. This will lead to fuller hair in areas that are starting to thin. Raw egg can also be applied to damaged hair. The egg has calcium and protein to make your hair stronger and lessen hair damage over time.

A conditioner should be applied each time you bath or shower. Regular conditioning of your hair makes it less likely to split due to it being too dry. Apply a deep conditioning product that you can purchase at any hair salon or salon supply store at least two times a week. You can also use keratin products if you need to help restore the condition of damaged hair.

If you need a different way to help treat your hair, then consider vitamins for hair growth. Vitamins are a great way to ensure that your body is getting the nutrients it needs to help grow healthy hair. You can find a variety of vitamin supplements at a health store or at many websites on the Internet. This will be an easy and effective way to promote faster hair growth. Make sure that you take this supplement on a daily basis to ensure you are getting the proper amount of nutrients.

Natural hair care solutions are the best option to treat damaged hair. Eliminating chemicals will lead to improved hair growth when combined with the proper diet and a daily vitamin regimen. Your hair will also benefit by using ceramic tools and laying it flat. Applying a vitamin-rich lotion to your hair before drying is also an option.

So why not try out this simple skin care regimen to minimize the damage caused by acne & as far as possible prevent its eruption.

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.

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.

Massage small amounts of fresh or canned coconut milk into the scalp and keep overnight if possible or at least for a few hours. This procedure will help hair grow longer, thicker and also make your hair look soft and shiny.

Theres no magic that will make your hair thicker or longer fast. The real way you can make your hair healthier is by your diet...from the inside out. Drink lots of water and protein such as peanuts and meat or fish. Also don't dye it a lot and put it under stress. I think wearing it in braids before bed helps to protect it.

Any form of exercise increases and improves blood circulation to all parts of the body, including the scalp. It is believed that increased blood supply to the cells in hair follicles will maintain their health and stimulate hair production.

A variety of herbs are recommended, to include Rosemary, Sage, Nettle and Burdock. The advice is to boil them together, strain off the leaves, and wash the hair with the solution every day.
