how to make your hair better

Hair is a reflection of your health & personality. If taken care of they can add to your beauty. Your hair and scalp needs proper care now and always. A sign of neglect over a period of time will show up in form of dry brittle hair, split-ends, hair fall, dandruff etc. From the moment you wake up to the time you go to sleep and if you are sleeping, there are many factors that can lead to hair breakage.

The following are some helpful ways that can help you:

Hair Wash: Wash your hair regularly. Follow your usual routine in applying shampoo onto hair. Some people use shampoo once everyday, other do it every other day and some do once a week. Using very hot or cold water can damage your hair.

Brushing your hair: Combing has to be done from the top to bottom. Start combing at the end of your hair. Go through some inches until all knots are combed out, and then restart some inches higher. You have to use a good hair brush. Don't buy those cheap plastic stuff. The problem is not that it might rip your hair, but it has an effect like glue which is sticky.

Hair Drying: Try to dry your hair in a natural way. Dry it up using a bath towel or you can make use an electric fan if you are in a hurry to make your hair dry. Frequent use of those hair dryer products can also damage your hair. Hair styles can also help avoid heavy hair fall.

Atmosphere: One major thing that can also affect your hair is the atmosphere. Like when you go to the beach, the heat of the sun and salt water can make your hair dry. Another factor is when you go swimming in a pool. The chlorinated water can damage your hair. You can cover your hair with a cloth or use swimming cap to cover your hair from sunlight.

Applying shampoo and conditioner: Use mild shampoos. Do not use those ones that has strong ingredients and swear to make your hair healthy and shiny. The stronger the ingredients are, the higher risk you have in damaging your hair. Also with conditioner, avoid using it regularly because it can also make your hair frizzy and more hair fall you will have.

Hair Style: We always want to have a different hair styles. The type of hair styles we have reflects our individuality and sometime it reflects our mood. Avoid frequent use of those styling products like hair straightening and curling iron because it will damage your hair.

Sleeping Pattern: Comb your hair before going to bed, do not let the bands or clips on. Even the way you sleep can affect your hair. Restless sleepers may actually be breaking hair as they sleep. If you're a restless sleeper, try a satin pillowcase so that the hair glides when you move in your sleep. On a regular cotton pillowcases, hair can get caught and break. Hair should be put in a ponytail on top of the head. Always use rubber bands that are wrapped in cloth.

We should always take care of our hair. It is one of the major part of our body that helps enhance our physical appearance. You must have a good diet because that helps a lot to make our hair healthy. Our hair is the reflection of our personality and health. We have to take good care of our body to achieve the kind of hair that we want.

learn how to walk in heels

Walking in high heels can be very difficult with all the 'shakey shakey' but there's nothing sexier than a great pair of high heels.
There are some easy secrets i came across to make life a whole lot easier on you, your feet and, well, everyone around you including the 'looku looku' people, so I decided to share.

Here are eight tips on how to walk in heels like you mean it.

Invest in Support

First things first: You need backup. Stock up on toe gels, moleskin insoles, arch supports, heel pads and blister strips before you’re in pain. It sounds like a lot of prep, but once you get into the swing of things, it’ll become second nature to you.

Train Your Arch

Guess what? Your foot arch will mold to your shoes . So if you typically wear flats, chances are your arch is less pronounced than someone who regularly wears high heels. Your best bet is to alternate your shoe heights. For example, commute to work in sneakers and then slip on a pair of heels when you get to the office. That way you train your arch to get used to a variety of heel heights.

Walk Heel to Toe

When you’re walking in high heels, there’s a tendency to plant with your toes first since your foot is slanted downward. Don’t succumb to the urge! You’ll want to stride in your normal heel-to-toe rhythm to prevent twisted ankles or broken stilettos.

Stand Up Straight

Check your posture while walking in high heels. Notice how your head and your body lean slightly forward? That will throw your weight on the balls of your feet and leave you susceptible to knee or back pain. Instead, tighten your core and make sure to stand up straight at all times, especially when you’re in a rush.

Look Forward

One of the easiest ways to spot a novice in high heels is by their eyeline. Confident women look straight ahead, which in turn helps them to walk in a straight line. Newbies often look down, which will hinder their gate and strain their neck. So, find a landmark in the near distance and zero in.

Take Small Steps

Heels naturally shorten your stride, so try to avoid taking the monstrous steps you’re used to when you wear flats. That’s not to say you have to tiptoe around. Just use your best judgment and find the right balance for you. This will help support your upright posture and your heel-to-toe motion.

Know Your Terrain

Stilettos have no business on cobblestone streets or freshly manicured lawns. When your terrain gets a little bumpy, opt for shoes with at least a one-inch-thick heel to keep you from teetering to and fro.

Swing Your Hips (do shakara)

A little pep in your step never hurt anyone. If you’re feeling wobbly or you notice that you plant your foot on the ground really hard, you’re probably stiffening up when you walk. Add a slight swing in your hips to ease the tension and give you some momentum. Hey, you’ll probably even turn a few heads while you’re at it.
