If
someone had told us that hours in front of the TV or computer would
lead to bad hair, TV would have long been out of fashion. Surreal but
true that these activities cause poor blood circulation to the head and
with added stress of work, studies and bad posture, it can lead to
dull and lifeless hair. Here are a few simple exercises which will
improve blood circulation to your hair. 1. Touch your toes Isn’t
this an exercise to get inches off your waist? Well, you’ll be
surprised that it works as well for your hair too. Stand with your feet
apart and breathe in and out slowly. As you breathe in, lift both arms
at the same time, stretching them upright and gradually, while bringing
them down, release your breath and try touching your toes. Count five,
without breathing in. Once done, gradually breathe in while coming up,
taking your arms upright again. While standing straight, gently place
your arms on your sides while breathing out. Do this exercise six times
in a day. 2. Play tug of hair Stand straight with
your feet apart and breathe in and out slowly. Lean forward and gently
grasp hair close to your scalp. Tug gently…very gently and firmly and
relax your grip. Tug once again. Do this about three or four times and
do it to all parts of your hair. 3. Go upside down If
you didn’t learn how to do a headstand when you were in school, now is
the time to learn it. A headstand improves blood circulation to hair
making it healthier. For those of you, who cannot do a headstand, try
this alternative…lie down on the bed and lift up your legs in a 90
degree position. For those of you, who are really lazy, you can take
support of the wall. This posture improves circulation to hair. 4. Neck it Stand
straight, place your hands on the hips and look straight ahead. Now
slowly turn your head to the right and then to the left five times. Make
sure that your movements are slow and gradual. Look straight once
again. And repeat this exercise, this time turning your head upwards
and downwards. After this, roll your head in the clockwise and
anti-clockwise direction. 5. Sleepover Another good
and easy exercise is to lie down on the bed with your neck hanging out
beyond the mattress, slightly below the level of your body. But while
doing this make sure your neck has adequate support. Most of these
exercises can be done even when you are watching TV. So, go ahead and
workout to get lovely tresses
THREE BENEFITS OF A HEAD MASSAGE | |
A head massage is a tonic and a much needed relaxant for your head and
hair. If you ever get a chance, don’t miss out on a nice relaxing head
massage from a good hair salon. Here are three major benefits of head
massage therapy… 1. Stress killer – prevents hair loss
Stress is known to be one of the main culprits behind hair loss. Be it
stress at work or at home, the physical and mental strain does have an
effect on the health of our hair. During an extreme case of stress like
an accident or an emotional disturbance, one can suffer form a hair
loss condition known as the telogen effluvium, where the active hair
follicles suddenly go into a regression stage. This stage is then
followed by the resting phase, where the hair growth remains passive
for a while eventually leading to hair fall. Getting a hair oil massage
helps relieve that stress and strain on the head, neck and the back
region creating a sense of well being, in turn inducing good sleep and
of course bringing your hair back to life. 2. Blood circulation – promotes hair growth
Stress and sweat are also known to harden the scalp and the sebum in
the hair tends to harden. This is where a head massage comes handy
followed by a good hair wash to promote blood circulation and hair
growth. If done in the right technique, head massage encourages proper
blood circulation in the scalp there by leading to strengthening of the
hair roots. This in turn acts as a catalyst to promote hair growth. 3. Hair oil - Nutrition for the hair
Using the correct hair oil conditions the scalp, thereby preventing dry
or scaly scalp that leads to dandruff. Hair oil also provides the much
needed nutrition to the hair, preventing or delaying hair from going
rough and brittle. It adds life to your hair by conditioning and
lubricating your scalp. So, fix an appointment with your hair salon today and get your dose of a much needed head massage..

MAKE YOUR OWN ROSE CONDITIONER
| |
It helps to use a hair conditioner regularly. And while you
look for the best brand to buy, you could try this one at home.
Soak half a cup of rose petals in hot water for some time. Take
half a mashed banana (full if you have long tresses), one
table-spoon honey, and a tablespoon of coconut/olive oil. Blend all
the four ingredients tin a blender. Massage well into your hair
and scalp, and leave the conditioner on for about half an hour. If you
can wrap a warm towel around your head the conditioner will have a
better effect. Make sure that you wash off conditioner thoroughly
with shampoo. |
AMLA - THE BEST MEDICINE FOR HAIR. | |
Regular massage of fresh amla mashed to a paste will do wonders.
The application of this paste will improve the colour of hair
(delay the process of greying), prevent your hair from falling and
moreover has a cooling effect on the entire system.
