  • If your treat your hair kindly with our natural hair care tips, your hair can truly be called your "Crowning glory". Whatever type of hair you have to keep them glistening with health and vitality by eating a sensible diet. Proteins, Vitamin B, Iron and Iodine are very essential for healthy hair because they are responsible for maintaining the color of your hair and maintaining its regular growth.
  • Vitamin B is mainly responsible for preventing the hair from thinning and greying. Besides taking plenty of proteins and diet rich in vitamins, you should also take plenty of curd. Curd is credited with producing certain acids in the digestive tact which are responsible for maintaining color of your hair and restoring color to grey hair. Next to the importance of feeding your hair, discover for yourself the texture of your hair of which personal care and attention will add to your crowning glory.

    DRY HAIR
  • Dry hair is mostly the outcome of insufficient oil in the dry hair which is not attended to immediately it results in dandruff and split hair. Dry hair can be improved by giving your scalp a thorough oil massage. Take some olive or almond oil and warm it. Rub the oil thoroughly into the scalp. Then massage your head. Start massaging at the crown of your head.
  • There are two basic movements you do throughout; pushing and moving scalp while fingertips remain still, then very lightly rub with your fingertips to feel a slight tingling sensation. Carry these movements over from the front to the back of your head, behind your ears, down the nape of your neck. Do this for 15 minutes. Cover the scalp with a plastic bag to generate heat and aid in penetration. It is a good idea to have 2 or 3 smaIl napkins already warmed up over a closed boiling vessel. Use thee napkins over the plastic bag. The idea is to keep the scalp as warm as possible to enable the oil to sink in.
  • Half an hour later wash your head with shikakai. To prepare your own shikakai at home, take a cup of shikakai seeds and boil them in 6 cups of water, or till the seeds soften; allow cooling, and then rubbing the shikakai between your hands till it turns frothy. Strain through a muslin and use instead of soap for washing your hair.
  • You can also use shikakai soap if you like.
  • Do not perm color or bleach dry hair. Comb hair gently from the roots and make it smooth with a soft brush to give them life. Avoid a long session in the sun without a scarf and always wear a bathing cap while swimming. Also take 2 to 3 tablespoons of raw butter, ghee or oil daily either in your soup, rice, dal or milk. Besides, take Vitamins A & E in the form of pills.
  • Use our hair care tips with care so as to achieve the desired results in whatever hair styles you carry.

    GREASY HAIR
  • Greasy hair is the natural outcome of a greasy skin and if not kept clean it may give rise to dandruff and other scalp infections. To treat a greasy scalp, wash your head with multani mitti, (fuller's earth) and warm water. Soak a big lump of multani mitti in a vessel of water. Add to it a juice of big lime.
  • Rub into the scalp leave for half an hour. Wash your hair with warm then cold water and Rinse it finally with water to which either 2 tablespoons cider vinegar or lime juice has been added. This not only removes extra oil from the hair but proves very cooling to the head especially in the burning hot summer. It also prevents prickly heat and sun-stroke. Gram-flour too is a good grease remover and it is used in the same manner as multani mitti. Spices, fried and highly seasoned foods should be avoided as much as possible.

    DAMAGED AND SPLIT HAIR
  • Damaged and split hair is the result of excessive use of bleaching, dyeing, tinting, hair dryers and curlers. When the hair splits into 3 parts, it is known as split hair. Split ends should be trimmed from time to time to avoid further separation of hair layers.
  • To treat split hair, massage in egg shampoo. To prepare this shampoo place an egg, 3 tablespoons of lime juice or apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt in the blender.
  • Pour in 1/2 cup of olive oil. Cover the blender container and run at fast speed till thick and nicely mixed. Remove the centre cap of the lid and slowly pour in a thin stream of 1/2 cup of more oil while the blender is still running. Massage generous quantity of this mixture on to your scalp and let it remain for half an hour. Give your hair this treatment every week to give suppleness and shine.
  • For badly damaged and split hair, take 1 cup honey and mix with 1/2 cup olive oil and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Set in a Jar for 2 to 3 days. Rub onto the scalp and roots of the hair. Now Comb from the scalp to the ends of the hair with a wide-toothed Comb.
  • Castor oil also helps in the growth of hair, Rub the thick oil to your scalp and hair. Comb through the hair. Place a plastic bag over the scalp. Take bath and cover with hot, moist towels. After half an hour either covers wash with shikakai or shikakai soap. Use an apple cider of lime. Do these once a week till you find improvement in your condition? To increase the rate of hair growth, take a diet containing all the essentials of good hair health.
  • An important hair care tip to follow is to take plenty of proteins. Besides, take Vitamin B and Vitamin A, C & E. Sometimes, hair starts falling due to tension. Tension creates muscular contraction which in turn constricts the blood vessels carrying nutrition to the hair shaft. If nervous tension continues for a long time, noticeable hair loss can result from this scalp starvation.
  • Calcium is a calming agent for shattered nerves. Take a few calcium tablets with a cup of warm milk and honey in the night and sleep a sound sleep. Lack of sufficient calcium in the body creates unrest and tension in the body.
  • Another effective hair care tip for losing hair is cut a medium-sized onion and put in a cup of rum. Set aside for whole day. Remove the onion and bottle the alcohol. Massage this into the scalp every night till the condition improves and then do this once a week.
  • Massage once again. Cover the head with a plastic bag and tuck in the ends to help generate scalp heat place 2 to 3 already warmed napkins over the bag. After half an hour either wash with shikakai seeds or shikakai soap. This not only great but improves the health of damaged hair but also gives it glim and vitality.

    iPhone Tips and Tricks

    iPhone Tips and Tricks

    iPhone Tips and Tricks
  • The iPhone is already assured to be one of the best-selling Apple products of all time, and its launch was being watched by millions of consumers around the world. However, this is not the point of this article. There are a few of cool iPhone tips and tricks we would like to share with you.
  • When it comes to iPhone tips and tricks, one of the best involves how you can make the low ringer on the iPhone louder. This is important because in fact one of the most common complaints about the iPhone is that it has such a low ringer volume. If you are one of the many people who finds this to be a problem, then at least there are iPhone tips and tricks you can use to do something about it. You can easily resolve this issue by using a custom ringtone rather than those already available on the device, and make sure that the ringtone you choose is a loud, high frequency audio.
  • Another great tip involves how you can watch Google videos over your iPhone, and the process required here is incredibly easy as well. Since the iPhone's Safari browser did not support Flash, the Apple Company therefore had to come up with a new application for the device which would allow streaming video to play on it, and yet it does not work on Apple's new application. You can however find various YouTube videos that give you step by step guides of the trick that is required to watch Google videos right from your iPhone.

  • Another of the best iPhone tips and tricks involves streaming audio from your iPhone to your Bluetooth headset. This is another important issue because many people were very disappointed when they learned that Bluetooth's A2DP profile was not included in the iPhone feature list. In order to use Bluetooth, the device must be compatible with certain Bluetooth profiles. To achieve this you will need to pair a Bluetooth headset with your iPhone, switch on the headset so that it can perform the handshake with the iPhone, and once you have done this you will need to go into the Visual Voicemail screen and tap the Audio button in the upper right hand corner. You will then receive an audio selection dialog, from which you select the Headset option, and then you switch over to the iPod and begin playing your music or video.
  • There are many other really great iPhone tips and tricks that you can use as well, all of which are really great because they allow you to get even more out of your iPhone device. Some people posted their tips and tricks on YouTube too. We have selected several interesting videos on YouTube. If you have time, go to our video section and check them out.
