I’d like to chase him to the end of eternity If he will let me just save him from the rain i’d make sure no one will ever scar him again. I see the racing faces tearing him apart.

Using any amount of hot air will cause your hair to dry out. Dry weather and blow drying will strip the hair of its moisture. Shampooing frequently and swimming in chlorinated pools will lead to dry hair and split ends. Hair dyes, electric curlers and permanents cause hair to dry out and have split ends.
To avoid split ends, follow the following tips and keep your hair glossy:
• Use mayonnaise: Use a dollop of mayonnaise on the palm of the hand and massage it to the head and leave it on for five minutes before having the bath. The recommended time for the mayonnaise treatment is an hour.
• Spray the beer: If you do not get any respite from using the mayonnaise, you can use beer as a good setting lotion that gives your hair the crisp, healthy and shiny look. You can pour some beer into an empty pump bottle and spray on the hair after shampooing and towel dry. Then you can style or blow-dry the hair.
• Shampoo minimally: Though it has become fashionable to shampoo daily, it is not advisable to do so. Shampoo strips the hair of its natural oils and thus gives it a dry, limp appearance. Alternatively, choose the shampoo for the dry, damaged hair.
• Condition your hair: Dry hair can be benefited greatly by the use of conditioners after shampooing. The outer layers of the hair or cuticles peel away the shaft, resulting in split ends. Conditioner glues these cuticles back to the shaft and lubricates them. It also prevents the static electricity, thus preventing its frizzy appearance.
• Avoid heat: The heat appliances like blow-dryers, electric irons and curlers damage the hair. Instead of blow-drying the hair, you can pat dry with a towel. Replace electric curlers with unheated plastic rollers that were used in a bygone era. Straighten the hair by wrapping the slightly damp hair around the cold rollers and leave them on for about ten minutes. To curl the hair or give them a wavy appearance, use sponge rollers overnight or sleep with the moist braids.
• Cover your head: Wearing a hat during the windy day is the safest way to protect the hair from drying out. This way, you will also protect your hair from drying out by the sun.
• Cut off the split ends: Every six weeks or so, try cutting off the split ends to keep them under control.

How far back was it when you first heard the word pimple or spot, and from what origin was this terrible condition born? As high as eighty percent of the population are affected by acne, together with the severe affects to their confidence, sometimes forcing an individual to hide away in extreme cases. Acne affects teenagers and adults alike, who are all too familiar with the distress that it can cause. Dealing with acne is not just about when the spots are visible, but as much about the scarring that it can also leave behind. With what seems like an infinite number of acne and acne scar treatment products available, how do you pick which one is the best for you? It is often difficult to decide which acne treatment to go for, but it is essential to ensure that there are no ill affects from the one that you choose.
Despite acne treatments and medications having improved dramatically over the years, acne still seems to take a firm hold on many people. However, acne scar treatment available today cannot only wipe out the infliction(in many cases), but can also deliver smooth, refreshed skin. Treatments such as Proactive Solutions can provide an effective acne scar treatment, without the terrible side affects of old, such as peeling and dry skin.
If you suffer from, or are close to someone that suffers from acne, it may be that you have researched the condition or treatment online. It is amazing to see the quantity of products available online which deal with every aspect of acne, and it is difficult to decide which product to choose. Many of these sites give advice on the medical condition itself, and one thing is always repeated - you can reduce the need for an acne scar treatment, if you prevent scarring in the first place(never popping or squeezing a spot can achieve this). Let nature take its course. Pinching and poking around a spot will almost always cause a scar. Instead, look to keep your skin clear and scar free in the first place with a good acne face wash, or body wash, and use a good exfoliant. Exfoliating your skin will keep it free from bacteria and debris, preventing an outbreak of acne in the future. Exfoliants will also serve as an acne scar treatment by removing old skin, in addition to preventing the pores in your skin from becoming blocked. So, look online or go to your local pharmacist, find a good exfoliant, and feel good about yourself again.

You may be surprised to learn that you can get severe acne well into your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. Fortunately, there are adult acne treatments that can be quite effective.
There are several causes of adult acne, with stress usually a contributing factor. Many adults lead more stressful lives than they are aware of. Eventually all this stress begins to take a toll on your body. Internal turmoil manifests in your skin, and sometimes presents as acne. While stress affects both genders, women run the risk of having acne that is caused by low-grade cosmetics. Cheap cosmetics can trap bacteria in your pores and increase your chances of breakouts. Other contributing factors to the onset of adult acne may include hormonal imbalances and reactions to certain medications, including birth control pills.
The best treatment for adult acne may simply be a lifestyle change. Reducing stress can certainly help alleviate the problem. Try to use higher grade cosmetics, and find out if any medications you are taking are causing adverse reactions.
There are a number of conventional and alternative adult acne treatments, so speak to your doctor or dermatologist to find out which one is right for you. They may suggest a simple cleaning regimen of benzoyl peroxide. Many adults have found that simply using benzoyl peroxide is an effective adult acne cure. This will not work for everyone though. Your doctor may determine that you need a stronger medication such as Accutane, an oral prescription medication for severe adult acne.
The side effects from some of the more powerful adult acne treatments can be quite painful, so many individuals look towards natural treatments first. Some of the newest products for treating mild to moderate breakouts are natural antioxidant formulas, and many consider them the best treatment for adult acne, as they works from the inside out, naturally clearing up acne and preventing future breakouts from occurring.
Natural treatments such contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other powerful nutrients that minimize adult acne without the potential side effects of harsh over-the-counter-medications and prescription acne drugs. Although there is no definitive adult acne cure, natural treatments can be quite an effective alternative.
With so many adult acne treatments available, you are sure to find one that works for you. There are pimple creams for occasional breakouts you can find in any drug store, powerful drugs available through your dermatologist, and everything in between. The best treatment for adult acne is out there, you just have to find it!

It’s surprising the way some people treat their hair. Instead of giving it the respect it deserves, they tug at it with their hair brush, secure it with plain elastic bands that stick to the hair, lick it, chew it, clean their inky hands with it, stick their pens in it, wipe that excess eye-liner off on it, and while shampooing, rub it, scrub it, pull it and generally bash it around before stuffing it under the full blast of a hair dryer. Phew! It’s shameful. Just because they’re not going bald in a hurry, they take it for granted. And then they wonder why their hair isn’t a shiny, swinging, sexy mane like in the ads, in spite of using the same shampoo! Well, understand the facts of life. Hair is delicate, growing stuff which need to be handled with care. A lot of care.
First, identify your hair type. Is it normal, oily or dry?
So, who’s normal? Well, if your hair isn’t a constant maze of split ends, doesn’t become oily quickly and is fairly well behaved, you could say it is normal. Wash your hair twice a week with a mild shampoo and conditioner for normal hair. Towel dry lightly. Blow dry from at least five inches away, whether your hair is normal, dry or oily.
Stress, hormonal activity (puberty, childbirth), thyroid problems and eating too much fatty food and chocolates are what usually cause oily hair. Oily hair needs to be washed more often but don’t scrub too hard while washing. It won’t get your hair any cleaner or less oilier. What it will do is further aggravate the already overactive sebaceous glands on your scalp, not to mention cause damage to the delicate follicles. And don’t pile hair on the head while shampooing, even though it may look great in the ads. It causes tangling, leading to further breakage. You could add lemon to the final rinse for a great shine. If you don’t have time to shampoo every few days or feel lazy and leave it oily, your hair won’t just look terrible, but dirt will get lodged under its surface causing breakage and damage not to mention dandruff. This will lead to skin problems such as acne on your chest, back and face. So you need to be careful about washing hair regularly, though you could condition it just twice a month. However, if your hair has been chemically treated, you should condition hair after every wash as chemical strips hair of its natural oils.
If your hair is dry, wash it twice a week with a shampoo for dry hair, followed by a conditioner. If your scalp feels very dry and flaky, use an anti-dandruff shampoo. Be very gentle with the ends of the hair, which are the driest parts and tend to split easily. You may be tempted to use styling products to tame the frizz, but avoid it. Frizz is usually caused by the inadequate flow of sebum from the roots, as it is being blocked by the flaky scalp. Give your hair a good oil massage before washing, to loosen the flakes, and rinse hair extra thoroughly.
Beautiful Hair is an asset for any woman. Some are gifted with naturally beautiful hair while others have to really work hard on it. But essentially everybody has to work on hair either for improving or for maintaining them. Here are some tips to manage your Crowning Glory.
Hair Wash
The best way of washing hair is with Aritha and Shikakai Powder. It does not have any chemicals or any other side effects. Aritha and Shikakai powder is available at any General stores or even a banyan shop.
Shampoos
Dry Hair - Egg, Herbal shampoo or any shampoo for dry hair.
Normal Hair - For normal hair fruit shampoos or henna shampoo is good.
Oily Hair - Lemon Shampoo
Hair Oil
Oil your hair at least once in a week. If you have dry hair then oil it twice a week. Hair oil gives the necessary moisturizers to your hair. Herbal hair oil provides you the necessary nourishment along with the moisturizers.

Quick- fix hair tips
If you want instant luster just before a big night, beat an egg without the yolk, squeeze half a lemon into it and apply to hair avoiding the scalp than rinse and wash in another half an hour. Be sure to give your hair a last rinse with some rose water because we don’t want you going out smelling like an egg.
Henna soaked in water of used tea bags, coffee powder, amla powder and onion peels can make for a excellent conditioner giving your hair the much needed boost.

Girls go through a great deal of physical and psychological changes during puberty. These changes include body composition, fat distribution, menstruation, growth spurts, body and facial hair growth, body odor and skin changes. The body physically changes as the fat tissue increases in the hips, thighs, and breasts producing the typical hourglass shape of females. With all these changes going on, what effect does acne have on girls during puberty?
During puberty girls experience an increased likelihood and severity of acne from the increased oil secretions in the skin. Puberty is often a difficult time and acne only adds to the difficulty. During puberty girls usually experience increased irritability, mood swings, and feelings of low self esteem. Even girls who have been very sure of themselves may suffer from low self esteem when puberty sets in. These changes may be even more severe in the girl also suffers from acne.
The negative changes in girls during puberty are made even worse if acne is a problem. You can help deal with the changes when you know how to lessen the problems of acne.
Practical Acne Treatments For Girls…
Proper skin care is the first step in treating acne. The face should be gently washed with a facial cleanser. There are many skin care products on the market that may help with acne. To kill the bacteria that cause acne the cleanser should contain salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide or sulfur. Gentle cleansing is an important factor when dealing with acne. A common mistake is to clean the face too often and with harsh cleansers. Careful cleaning of the face twice a day is the best way to go.
There are some cosmetics that can be detrimental if you are trying to control acne so it is important to use non-comedogenic products. Non-comedogenic products are less likely to cause acne, blackheads or block the pores of the skin. Today there are many non-comedogenic products available, such as makeup, lip stick, moisturizers, and even acne medicated makeup.
The changes experienced during puberty can take a mental and physical toll on girls. The onset of acne certainly makes these changes even harder to deal with. It is a good idea to visit with a dermatologist if the acne can not be controlled with over-the-counter medications. A dermatologist will understand the changes that are associated with acne and will be able to offer advice and treatment programs. It’s also important to be understanding and offer support to girls as puberty can be a difficult time to go through.

Surveys reveal that over 75% of people having facial acne also suffer from body acne as well. Of these 90% carry this infection on their back, neck, shoulders and chest. A small percentage has acne on their legs and abdomen. While facial acne is undoubtedly harmful to a person’s personality, body acne is no less damaging. Body acne makes it difficult for men to go shirtless in public and prevents women from wearing low cut dresses, sleeveless garments and swim wear. The impact and severity of body acne can be minimized by taking a few precautions and by using time-tested medications.
Body acne poses a greater challenge than facial acne. For one thing, the back is not easy to reach. Secondly, these parts contain a large number of pores that produce more oil and are more vulnerable to infections than the face. Thirdly, the skin on the back is thicker and does not respond to doses of topical or oral medications that work for facial acne.
Almost all commercial creams and lotions contain one of the three commonly used antidotes - benzoyl peroxide, a glycolic acid derivative or salicylic acid. These compounds unclog the pores and possess an anti-bacterial property that helps fight acne. Further, they help in reducing the oil content of the skin. While these compounds have produced promising results, they can over-dry the skin and care must be taken to use moisturizing agents to prevent this condition.
Supporters of herbal cures recommend creams containing combinations of extracts from a variety of herbs. These include neem, honeysuckle, yellow dock, dandelion root and sarsaparilla roots. They act as mild antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents and claim to detoxify blood. Body scrubs enhance exfoliation and are used to promote a healthy skin. Apricots are commonly used in these scrubs to provide roughage. Oral antibiotics and vitamins (B2, B3, A and E) are a useful adjuvant in battling acne.
Some simple health and hygiene measures go a long way in controlling acne. First of all, dermatologists agree that stress induces hormonal changes that in turn aggravate acne. Staying “cool” helps control acne.
Hygiene measures include regular body washes using antibacterial soaps, using moisturizing creams, using a soft towel to dry the skin, removing sweaty garments as soon as possible, avoiding pinching affected areas, exercising and getting enough rest. The best thing to do always is to consult a dermatologist before using any medication - oral or topical.
