to apply it regularly and mustard oil doesnt smell that nice, if the
smell gets to you try castor oil then, hope that helps.

Easy Tips and Guide for Superfluous Hair
To make wax yourself, melt 500 gms sugar in the juice of 3
lemons and simmer very slowly until it is a medium honey color
toffee mixture. Heat for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from the
heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons glycerine, mix and use as warm as
possible. It should feel hot when applying over the skin, but
should not be unbearable. Sit with legs in front of you and a pan
of wax close at hand. Do one leg at a time, working upwards from
ankle to knee. The strip should be 4.5 centimeter wide. The strips
of wax are applied on the skin with the back of a spoon or spatula
going against the direction in which the hair grow. The strip is
allowed to cool and is patted briskly to make sure it is gripping
the hair underneath, and then pull the cloth quickly bringing the
hair with it. Sometimes, the pores look red for a few hours after
waxing. Rubbing the waxed area regularly with bath mitt will keep
the skin soft. The best way to learn waxing is to have a couple of
treatments done at a good beauty salon and watch the technique
carefully. When you feel confident, do waxing at home yourself.

ammonia to two parts water to make an extract. It gives the hair

structural protein providing 18 amino acids. 30 mg grape seed
extract, a powerful antioxidant which promotes healthy

water and to clarify any product build up is by using Bicarbonate
of Soda.

massaged into the scalp for two minutes each night, and then the
scalp is wrapped in a towel, to increase absorption of these oils.

ylang, roman chamomile, rosemary, lemon, lavender, grapefruit,
and bay. Try this blend of oils:
* 3 drops of lavender * 3 drops of rosemary * 2 drops of thyme * 2
drops of Atlas cedar wood
You can't put essential oils directly onto the skin or scalp, they
have to be mixed in a carrier oil. Use a half a teaspoon of jojoba
oil and 4 teaspoons of grapeseed oil. Mix them all together and
rub this mixture into your scalp for at least two minutes. Use a
warm towel to wrap your head in afterwards. Not only does it feel
relaxing, but it helps the oils absorb.
(59) If you have thinning hair, chances are you need to address a
nutritional imbalance. Increase these nutrients in your diet:
* Flaxseed - As well as providing support to all the cells in your
body, flaxseed is rich in alpha linolenic acid, which is one of the

Omega 3 fatty acids. This makes hair shine, and its also great for
treating dandruff.
* Pumpkin seeds, oysters, and nuts - These are great food sources
of zinc. Zinc is needed for strong hair and normal hair growth. It
has the added benefit of being great for your brain and
concentration.
* Cucumber and oats - These foods are fantastic sources of silica.
Silica is important for hair health, and is used when hair splits
easily, or starts to thin. Silica is also great for skin health - it's a
real beauty mineral. If you don't want to eat a bowl of porridge in
the morning, you can get silica supplements. Get the gel form as
it is absorbed much more easily than the herbal varieties like
horsetail.
* Edible Seaweed, parsley, tofu, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds Iron is important in hair health, and these foods are rich in it. An
iron deficiency causes hair loss. But if you're thinking of taking an
iron supplement, get your iron levels tested by your doctor first as
iron is a fat soluble vitamin which means that it is stored in your
body. This can lead to a toxic build up if too much iron is taken in.

Would you believe that most commercially bought cholesterol hair

conditioners contain alcohol the very thing that dries out hair?
Instead, grab a cup full of mayonnaise, some plastic food wrap
and throw a couple of towels in the drier on high.
Work the mayonnaise into your hair, starting by massaging it into
the scalp and roots. Then draw it through to your ends until your
hair is thoroughly coated. Pile the hair on top of your head. Take a
couple of feet of saran wrap and wrap it around the top of your
head to contain the mayo.
Take a pre-heated towel from the dryer and wrap it around your
head over the saran wrap. The heat will aid with deep
conditioning. After about 10 minutes, change to another heated
towel and leave that on for another 10 minutes.
Remove the towel and plastic wrap and shampoo your hair as
usual. Done once a month, this cholesterol treatment will keep
your hair soft and shiny.
* Tip: if your hair ends are very damaged from chemical
treatment, you can do this once a week. If your scalp is naturally
oily, you might want to only add mayo to the hair ends for weekly
treatments.
Remedies for dandruff
Fenugreek Seeds: The use of fenugreek seeds is one of the most
important remedies in the treatment of dandruff. Two tablespoons
of these seeds should be soaked overnight in water and ground
into a fine paste in the morning. This paste should be applied all
over the scalp and left for half an hour. The hair should then be
washed thoroughly with soap- nut (ritha) solution or shikakai.
Lime: The use of a teaspoon of fresh lime juice for the last rinse,
while washing the hair, is another useful remedy. This not only
leaves the hair glowing but also removes stickiness and prevents
dandruff.

dandruff is the use of green grain powder. The hair should be
washed twice a week with two tablespoons of this powder mixed

roots should be boiled in water and this water should be
massaged into the scalp with the finger tips every night White

SHINE SEEKERS
(15) A cold- water rinse is also a great way to boost the shine of
your locks. The cold water closes & smoothens the cuticle,
making hair appear shiner.
(16) For shine, stylists suggest rinsing with apple cider vinegar
once a week, after shampooing.
(17) Want your hair to shine with natural color? Try this. Add a few
teaspoons of fresh beetroot juice to your final rinse, for rich, red
highlights.
(18) For extra shine & bounce, apply gram flour mixed with rice
water & wash after a few minutes.
DANDRUFF DILEMMA
(19) Trying to battle dandruff? Look for a high quality shampoo
containing ingredients such as tea tree oil, salicylic acid, sulfur.
Use on alternate days.
(20) If your dandruff flakes refuse to go away, try this - massage
one tablespoon of common salt into your damp scalp before your
shampoo. The salt works as a good exfoliate. (21) Another cure
for the dandruff - dissolve 30 tablets of aspirin into a full bottle of
shampoo. Wash hair as usual.
MISCELLANEOUS MANTRAS
(22) Never use your fingernails to massage in the shampoo- you
could scratch your scalp.
(23) Always rinse your hair thoroughly after applying shampoo or
conditioner. Any residue will leave your hair lack shine.
(24) Are you a water babe? Get all the chlorine out of your tresses
by adding a little baking soda to your shampoo.
(25) Prevent static electricity in your hair by using a rinse- out
conditioner that adds moisture. Alternatively, you can use a
leave- in conditioner after towel drying hair.

(26) From time to time, add two tablets of Vitamin E to your

shampoo for a power boost.
(27) Pick shampoo that give benefit to your type of hair. Apply
shampoo from root to tip - gently work down the hair. Don't pile
up hair while lathering! Rinse thoroughly under running water.
(28) Choose conditioner that works with your shampoo Always
condition after shampooing. Apply conditioner from tip to root.
Comb your hair while condition through hair to ensure distribution
and penetration. Use as much conditioner as your hair can
absorb.
(29) Understand your hair type. Being understand your type of
hair, such as, oily, dry, natural, curly, straight, kinky or what ever,
you can correctly treat your hair with product that is useful to
your type of hair.
(30) Dry your hair gently. Do not rub your hair especially if it is
very long. Take time to dry it slowly with a gently patting or
wringing action. Don't overdrying your hair.
(31) Save money and give yourself a break from the chemicals
found in most hair care products by using the following natural
home remedies for your hair.
(32) Sodium lauryl sulfate a high volume synthetic chemical used
in consumer products and regulated as a pesticide. A suspected
gastrointestinal or liver toxicant, sodium lauryl sulfate can be
drying and harsh for the hair and cause eye irritation, allergic
reactions, and hair loss. According to the National Toxicology
Program, it has shown moderate reproductive effects in
experiments. It has not been tested for neurotoxicity. Sodium
lauryl sulfate is not a recognized carcinogen. However, the
chemical is frequently combined with TEA (triethanolamine), DEA
(diethanolamine), or MEA (monnoethanolamine), which can cause
the formation of the carcinogenic substances nitrosames. To be on
the safe side, add antioxidant vitamins A and C to any product
that contains TEA, DEA, or MEA.
The addition of antioxidants will help protect against nitrosamine
contamination. For each 8 ounces of shampoo, add 1 teaspoon of
vitamin C powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of vitamin A powder.
(33) Tame your frizzy hair by rubbing coconut oil into your hands
and applying sparingly onto your hair. You don't want to overdo it
- too much will make your hair look greasy. Shampooing your hair

less frequently also helps with the frizzies. Excess shampooing

strips natural oils from the hair. Detergents are drying to the hair,
yet the drawback of using soap instead is for those who don't like
to wash their hair every couple of days: without drying
detergents, the scalp's natural oils are more present.
(34) Rinse your hair with baking soda to get rid of shampoo buildup and styling residues.
(35) Rinse your hair with baking soda and water to rid your hair of
shampoo build-up and styling residues. Rinsing your hair with
one juiced lemon and one cup of water is said to bring life and
shine back to dull hair. Apple cider vinegar mixed with water will
give your hair shine and bounce.
(36) When you wash your hair, take more time washing your scalp
than the ends of your hair. Hair ends don't get all that dirty
(unless youve got large doses of styling products layered over
them), but the scalp can get oily and accumulate dead skin cells
that need to come off. In addition, the scalp can almost always
benefit from a massage, which will increase healthy circulation
and help the hair that's developing in the follicles.
37) The longer you leave a dandruff shampoo on your hair, the
more effective it will be.
38) When in doubt, use products designed for your hair type.
Unless you have truly normal hair, undesignated products are not
for everyone. There is no such thing as the perfect hair-care
product for any hair type. Someone with coarse, dry hair has very
different needs from someone with thin, healthy hair.
39) Every now and then, take your brush and comb into the
shower with you and give them a good shampooing. Styling
products, conditioners, and your own oil can cling to brushes and
combs, transferring some of the grime back to your clean hair.
Remove the excess hair and go for it. For a more thorough
cleansing, or if you have dandruff, soak them in a solution of
diluted bleach; about three tablespoons to a quart of water should
be enough to kill whatever may be lurking around or between the
bristles.
40) Shiny Hair To get your hair looking shiny add 1 tablespoon of
pink grapefruit juice to your bottle of shampoo. The grapefruit
juice will break down the shampoo build up that can leave hair
looking dull.
