Dandruff

Dandruff is the presence of small while flakes usually appearing on the scalp and the hair. Dandruff is known by medical term "pityriasis". The direct cause of dandruff is the excessive shedding of outermost cells. The indirect causes are poor blood circulation, improper diet, un-cleanliness, use of strong shampoo and insufficient rinsing of hair after shampooing.

Pomegranate Juice - Antioxidant Power

With more antioxidant power than other drinks, Pomegranate Juice helps guard your body against free radicals, nasty little molecules that may cause heart disease, stroke, premature aging, Alzheimer’s…even cancer. That’s a real super power.

According to a new study, antioxidants contained in pomegranate juice may help reduce the formation of fatty deposits on artery walls. Antioxidants are compounds that limit cell damage.
Scientists have tested the juice in mice and found that it combats hardening of the arteries and related diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes.

The apple-size fruit, which grows on rounded plants 15 to 20 feet (4.6 to 6 meters) tall, contains a sack of seeds and a juicy pulp.

In ancient Greece pomegranate was known as the fruit of the dead. In Hebrew tradition pomegranates adorned the vestments of the high priest. Ancient Persians believed that pomegranate seeds made their warriors invincible. In China the fruit symbolized longevity.

Scientists have long known about health benefits of pomegranates. The latest study, in particular, shows that the juice limits the genetic tendency toward hardening of the arteries.

Prevent Ingrown Hairs

You may notice, not long after you shave, there’re small bumps appear. These may become further irritated resulting in redness, itchiness, discoloration, or infection known as “ingrown hairs” or “razor bumps” may be transpiring deep beneath where even your eyes cannot see.

Ingrown Hairs occur when the end of the hair shaft is cut resulting in a sharpened edge that as it grows, curls back into the same hair follicle and results in an inflammatory response (redness, itchiness, and/or raised infected area).

Razor Bumps (caused by infected hair follicles) come from the end of the hair shaft that, after being shaved, is cut in such a way that again the end of the hair is sharpened and as it continues to grow it curls into another nearby hair follicle. The seriousness of the inflammation and infection of the ingrown hair or razor bump may vary. For some this is an annoying occurrence that doesn't pose a serious health problem.

Some suggestions we can point to have to do with shaving itself. Those with naturally curly hair will have more of a propensity towards ingrown hairs and razor bumps. Many have found a decrease in occurrence when using an electric razor due to the fact that although the shave may not be as close as that of a blade, the close cut resulting from the blade may be the cause of the end of the hair shaft becoming so sharpened and easily re-entering a hair follicle. Especially is this the case with double-track razors.

Washing or exfoliating the skin before shaving is helpful in exfoliating and lifting the hair away from the follicle while softening the hair and preparing it for the shave. Then shave in the direction of the hair growth (perhaps even every other day).

For ladies: on the leg area this means shaving down instead of up. Shaving in the same direction (and not against the grain) helps to train the hair to grow out straight, thus preventing it curling back into the skin. Moisturizers can be applied after shaving to further soothe and soften.

Do You Know That Some Hairstyling Techniques Can Cause You To Lose Your Hair?

There are a lot of things women do to make their hair look nice: rolling, straightening, curling and pinning. But Do you know that some hairstyling techniques can cause you to lose your hair?

Pulling your hair back tightly with rollers, rubber bands or clips can put too much stress on the hair root. Over time, hair may stop growing, especially on the edges of the hairline.

The chemicals and heat used to straighten hair can also cause damage. The process may weaken hair's structure so that it's more likely to break mid-shaft. To keep your hair healthy and strong, straighten or roll your hair less often.

Scarguard ScarCare Helps Improve The Appearance of Scars

When our skin is damaged many cells come to the rescue. Some cleanup, others make collagen to fill the cut. The collagen is like cement filling the space between two bricks, only this cement has to fill the gap and move at the same time.

Nature has handled this by intentionally making too much collagen and melting some of it as we heal. If we don't melt enough of it in this natural process of molding, a thick scar results.

Topical silicone is the basis of most scar products that doctors have recommended since the early 1980's. An ingredient in makeup, hairspray and many many other products that we use every day, doctors believe it is safe and effective in improving scar appearance.

Cortisone has many beneficial effects. A component of many non-prescription products for skin conditions such as eczema, sunburns and diaper rash, it is a known anti-irritant, helping reduce the discomfort often associated with scarring.

Vitamin E is an oil-based vitamin. Controversial, some think it helps improve scar appearance, other do not. We believe that it helps soften the scar as a moisturizer and lubricant at the very least, and is therefore, helpful.

Doctors have recommended silicone, cortisone, dressings and vitamin E for decades.

Until now, they were so difficult to use that patients quit before seeing the benefit.

Scarguard ScarCare combines all of them into an easy to use clear liquid. Painted on overgrown scars it dries within seconds to a nearly invisible flexible film. When used daily, it helps improve the appearance of scars.

Dark Underarms

A lot of women are facing a problem with dark underarms.

It is best if you wax your underarms regularly rather than shaving. Underarms generally look dark due to thick hair under the skin, caused by shaving.

Waxing removes hair from the root, so there is no hair under the skin, and the underarms look cleaner and lighter. Also, regular waxing reduces hair growth over a period of time. which for how long, differs from person to person. As soon as you wax for the first time after shaving for a long time, your underarms look much cleaner and lighter. This is because the hair is a lot thicker, so the wax gets a good grip and pulls it all out. There are chances your armpits may bleed very slightly due to waxing, it's normal.

Drinking Water Is Good For You

70% of your body is water.

When you're exercising, don't wait until you're thirsty to drink up. Did you ever get a very dry mouth and suddenly feel very thirsty? That's because your body already needed water and was trying to tell you by keeping water from going to the salivary glands (these glands make saliva, or spit, which is made from water, remember?). So your mouth felt all dried out, and you had a drink.

But when it's hot or you're exercising a lot, it's much better for you to drink even when you're not thirsty. You'll feel better and have more energy.

Water is great - it helps every cell in our bodies, keeps things moving the way they should, and even cools us down when we need it! Keep your body healthy by drinking enough liquids all the time and especially when you're exercising.

Bored With Your Straight Hair Look? Try These Styling Ideas For A Fresh New Look (No Haircut Required!)

1. Apply mousse. Rake a handful of mousse through damp hair, flip head over then blow dry on high. When you flip your head back up, you’ll have more volume and texture to your hair.

2. Braid it. Pull hair into a low ponytail then braid it. Leave about an inch at the end, and secure with covered elastic. Braids make you look youthful and chic.

3. Change your part. For an easy change, switch sides, or try in the middle.

4. Add lowlights. Highlights on very straight hair can sometimes look stripy; instead, ask your colorist for darker pieces weaved into your natural shade.

Recently many published studies and researches have confirmed what Chinese and Japanese doctors have known for years - green tea is good for you!

How Our Hair Be Damaged

Although our scalp hair is hardy, and can withstand a lot of abuse, it can be damaged by too much or inexpertly applied dyeing, bleaching and massage.

The amount of Chemical the hair can take varies from person to person. Occasionally the scalp can be allergic to the dye and becomes inflamed and swollen. To prevent this situation, the dye should be tested by applying it to a small area on the arm. If a patch of inflammation has developed, the dye must not be used on the hair.

Most people who bleach their hair have theirs done with hydrogen peroxide. If the peroxide is repeatedly applied, it may make the hair severely brittle. If this happens repeatedly, the hair may turn rough then develop split ends, or become thinned or shortened.

About Acne

Acne is one of the most common skin disorders to affect most people at some point in life. A skin disease of the hair follicle and sebaceous -- or oil -- gland, acne appears to be a genetic disease caused by the abnormal buildup of dead skin cells in the area known as the follicular wall, the presence of bacteria and the production of sebum that results in skin inflammation.

Most intense on the face, chest, back and upper area of the outer arms -- where sebaceous glands are largest and most numerous -- Acne may be little, with only a few eruptions, or it may show up in highly inflammable and diffusely scarring forms.

Other factors, such as cosmetics with comedogenic -- or pore -- clogging -- ingredients, hormone therapies and selected chemicals may aggravate the condition. Additionally, people prone to acne have an abnormally high level of dead cells and pores that easily become clogged.

After in-depth studies, scientists have established that the material extracted from these follicles contains bacteria thought to be involved in the development of acne.

In its more complex forms, acne requires medical treatment, usually with topical or systemic antibiotics and therapies such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Glycolic acid is also an excellent treatment that can be used in conjunction with other therapies to help improve some acne conditions because it reduces the buildup of dead skin cells. It also acts as an effective cleansing agent for problem-prone skin. Maintaining the clarity of the follicle helps prevent further follicular blockage.

Keep Your Makeup Brushes Cleaned

To clean the makeup brushes, use liquid soap and water or a mild hair shampoo and conditioner free of wax-coating agents, chemical dyes, and strong perfumes. This will maintain the integrity, structure, and softness of the natural hair and its performance in application.

Use warm water and never leave brushes soaking in water as this will negatively affect the ferrule and handle. Place a pea-size amount of soap of shampoo in the palm of the hand. Wet the brush and massage the cleanser into the natural hair by stroking the brush back and forth in the palm of the hand until the cleanser has been fully dispersed throughout the brush hairs. Rinse the hairs thoroughly until the water runs clear. Repeat the cleansing process as necessary.

To Dry the makeup brushes, create a ring with the index finger and thumb. Pull the brush through the fingers while applying pressure. This will remove the excess water and maintain the shape of the brush. Place each brush flat on a towel to dry. If possible, lay the brush so the head is over the edge of the counter. This allows the air to circulate evenly and also helps to maintain the shape of the brush. Never allow brushes to dry in the upright position. This will result in water running down into the ferrule, loosening glue and causing hair loss. Drying a brush in the upright position will also result in the loss of its original shape.
