Health & Beauty Tips For A Better Life

Try not to be too hard on it. Overzealous shampoos may initially rid you of the gulf of oil, but they can also stimulate your sclap into compensating for its losses by pumping out even more, creating a vicious circle.

If you have to wash your hair daily, use a small amount of a mild shampoo, followed by an oil-free conditioner. Dry shampoos help to absorb oil in between shampoos. Avoid scalp stimulation through over-brushing, and cut down on fatty foods like butter, cheese, fried foods and meats.

An analysis of average sample of honey has shown it to consist of moisture 20.0 per cent, protein 0.3 per cent, minerals 0.2 per cent and carbohydrates 79.5 per cent per 100 grams. Its mineral and vitamin contents are calcium 5 mg per cent, phosphorous 16 mg per cent, iron 0.9 mg per cent, riboflavin 0.04 mg per cent, niacin 0.2 mg per cent and vitamin C 4 mg per cent per 100 grams. Its caloric value is 319.

Latest research indicates that the pollen in honey contains all 22 amino acids, 28 minerials, 11 enzymes, 14 fatty acids and 11 carbohydrates. Unfortunately much of these nutritive qualities are lost by hearting the honey to 150 deg F for commercial use. Filtering, bottling and cooling to protect its flavour, remove the pollen grains and do not leave the honey as a pure product.

Bleaching

“Bleaching your hair penetrates the cuticle with chemicals and removes your natural pigment,” You are changing the structure of your hair, making it more susceptible to damage . ” once you bleach, you’ve altered the strength of your hair, making it weaker. If you add blow drying and styling on top of  bleaching, you can really damage your ‘do., causing hair breakage, a dull look, and split ends.

Perms

“Perming refers to either a chemical straightening or a chemical curling, ” It works by breaking the inner bounds of the hair and re-forming them back together in a different way. ” Like bleaching, it weakens your hair, leaving it dull damaged over time so that instead of luxurious curly locks or shiny straight tresses, your hair looks brittle and dry.

Highlights and Colouring

Highlights and semi-permanent dyes aren’t as damaging as bleach, but they aren’t without consequences. They can also change the inner structure of the hair, causing a lackluster look and dryness, especially if you frequently color to hide roots or gray hair.

Flat iron and blow-drying

“Heat causes temporary changes to the hydrogen bonds that hold hair together, and that can make hair look dull. Over time, the temporary changes can lead to more permanent damage if you tend to blow dry or iron on a daily basis.

Ponytails and Braids

“Ponytails and Braids” can cause hair to break, especially if your style is pulled tightly. If you wear it that way every day, permanent hair damage can occur. ” Braiding or putting your hair in a ponytail when it’s wet can cause damage sooner because wet hair is more fragile.

Lover-brushing

Think 100 strokes a day will make  your hair shiny and full? Think again. “Over brushing your hair can cause split ends and breakage, with the over-brushing causing just too much consistent friction for hair to handle. Cheap brushes don’t help either, causing snags and tangles that are hard  to get out and resulting in broken hair and split ends.

Over-shampooing

“The goal of shampooing is to cleanse the scalp and remove oil buildup on your hair. But over-washing can wash away your hair’s natural moisture that helps your hair look healthy, making your hair dry. Although a significant amount of research has gone into making shampoos beneficial for your hair, you can still get too much of a good thing. “The less vigorous you are in washing your hair, the less damage you’ll do to the cuticle. “And find a frequency to washing your hair that works for you … whether it’s a few times a week or every day.”

Extensions and Weaves

Extensions and Weaves are a lot like ponytails and braids. Over time, they can leave hair broken and brittle. The difference is the damage is at the roots where it is harder to cut out. “If you have a discomfort or ache in the scalp, the indicates that what you’ve done to your hair is causing too much pressure at the roots. Worse, traction alopecia is a serious hair loss condition caused by wearing tight hairstyles like extensions for too long a time period. So either keep it loose, or try growing your hair instead of going for instant length.
