Take Care Of Hairs During Winter

2009-11-01T01:51:00.000-07:00

A few tips to keep your hair healthy and looking good during winter

Cover your hair: The winds and cold of winter tend to damage your hair. Cover your hair every time you step outside. Use a cap, scarf, hat or any other form of headgear based on its convenience.

Make sure that your head covering is not too tight and does not cut off blood circulation. Before putting anything on your head, moisturize your hair and wear a scarf underneath a hat or cap to avoid damaging your hair.

Moisturize your hair: Extra moisturizing is required during the winter because the hair tends to dry faster. Products containing coconut oil like cetearyl or cetyl alcohol are of great help. Applying a hot oil treatment once a week keeps your hair nourished.

Remember to condition your hair after every wash. If your hair is extremely dry you can use a moisturizing shampoo in addition to a conditioner. You could also use a leave in conditioner. Be sure to condition the ends of the hair as they tend to dry out the most. Use cold water when rinsing to lock moisture in the hair. Deep condition the hair once a week to have soft and silky hair during the winter.

Avoid frequent washes: If you wash your hair too often during the winter it loses its nourishment. Instead of washing your hair everyday wash it two or three times a week. If you normally wash your hair three times a week, wash it once a week. This helps preserve the hair’s natural oils.

Avoid chemicals and hot items on hair: Do not color, straighten or use other chemical products too often during winter. Using hot items on the hair like an iron or blow dryer makes the hair brittle. Even hot water rinses or showers are harmful to the hair. Use warm water and put the dryer or iron on a cool setting.

In addition to all these tips be sure to drink plenty of water and eat the right types of food to make your hair beautiful.

Home Solution Hair Loss

2009-11-01T01:40:00.000-07:00

Thanks to pollution and all the chemicals, one of the main problems, we face these days is hair loss. No one wants to be bald. Everyone is looking for a good remedy to this problem.

Some use hair growing serum where as some prefer to go for a hair transplant. But other than that, some herbal remedies can prevent hair fall. The best part about the natural remedy is that they are easy to apply and less expensive.

To prevent hair loss you can use particular herbs and the leaves of plants. One such leaf is henna. Apply henna paste on the scalp and leave it for an hour. Wash it off and do not forget to use shampoo. Make sure no residue is left on the scalp. This strengthens the roots of the hair and prevents hair loss.

If you do not have the time to apply henna, then you can try this easy remedy. Boil some rosemary leaves in two glasses of water. Filter the water and store it in a container. The container has to be of glass. Wash your hair with that water everyday.

Another remedy is the mixture of cumin and olive oil. Make a mixture of half a cup of olive oil and one tablespoon of cumin. Massage the oil on the scalp. Keep it for half hour and then wash it off.

The next remedy that I have does not involve applying anything to the scalp or hair. Make a habit of having a cocktail of spinach and lettuce juice. Have it every other day if not everyday.

If you thought Aloe Vera gel was good for your skin only, think again. Apply some of this gel on both your scalp and hair. Keep it for at least one and a half hour. Then wash the hair with water.

If you have dry hair then the best remedy is the mixture of castor oil and almond oil. Take equal amounts of both the oils and mix it well. Warm the oil and then apply the mixture to the scalp. Do this at least once a week.

Hair Loss :- What you need to know

2009-11-01T01:31:00.000-07:00

Hair loss is a big worry to many people, both male and female. If you have a worrying amount of hair in the basin after shampooing, you may think you are on the way to baldness. But this is not usually the case. The 50–100 hairs that everyone loses each day often become tangled with the rest of the hair, but are washed out when we shampoo. So we see what seems like a lot of hair in the basin after shampooing, but in reality these hairs have been shed earlier.
Of course, bald areas are an obvious sign of hair loss, but otherwise it can be difficult to tell whether your hair is getting thinner. To find out, try the ‘tug test’. Hold a small bunch of hair – about 15 or 20 hairs – between the thumb and index finger. Pull slowly and firmly. If more than six hairs come out there may be a problem.
How hair grows
The portion of the hair that we can see is called the shaft. Each shaft of hair protrudes from its follicle, which is a tube-like pouch just below the surface of the skin. The hair is attached to the base of the follicle by the hair root, which is where the hair actually grows and where it is nourished by tiny blood vessels.
Like the rest of the body, hairs are made of cells. As new cells form at its root, the hair is gradually pushed further and further out of the follicle. The cells at the base of each hair are close to the blood supply and are living. As they get pushed further away from the base of the follicle, they no longer have any nourishment and so they die. As they die, they are transformed into a hard protein called keratin. So, each hair we see above the skin is dead protein. It is the follicle, which lies deep in the skin, that is the essential growing part of the hair.
The thickness of each hair depends on the size of the follicle from which it is growing. At puberty in boys, hormones increase the size of the follicles on the chin, chest and limbs so that each hair becomes more thick and wiry. In the elderly, the follicles shrink and the hair becomes finer.
Stages of hair growth
Hair growth is not a continuous process. It has several stages.

The first phase is the growing stage. Hair grows at about 1 cm each month, and this phase lasts for anything between 2 and 5 years.
This is followed by a resting stage, during which there is no growth. This phase lasts about 5 months, and is called telogen.
At the end of the resting phase, the hair is shed and the follicle starts to grow a new one.
At any moment, about 90% of the hair follicles of the scalp are growing hairs in the first phase; only about 10% are in the resting phase.
If a follicle is destroyed for any reason, no new hair will grow from it.

What happens to cause baldness
Excessive hair loss can occur if any of the stages of hair growth become disrupted. For example, if follicles shut down (meaning that they stay in the resting phase and then shed the hair) instead of growing new hairs, there will be less hair on the head.
Another reason might be interference with the formation of new hair cells at the root during the growing phase; this occurs with some anticancer drugs. If follicles have been destroyed (as they might be by, for example, a burn or by some skin diseases), there will be baldness in that area.
An individual can also look bald if the hairs are growing but are so fragile that they break just as they emerge from the follicle, or if they are very small and thin
Common beliefs – true or false?
‘Some hairstyles can cause hair loss’
True. Styles that put tension on the hairs – such as tight ponytails, plaits or corn-rows – can cause hair loss. Winding hair tightly onto rollers (particularly heated rollers) can have the same damaging effect.
‘Brushing the hair 100 times a day will stimulate the circulation and prevent hair loss’
False. Vigorous brushing is more likely to injure the hairs and make the problem worse.
‘Hair needs to breathe, so wigs and toupees worsen loss of hair’
False. Hair does not need to breathe. Only the root of the hair is alive and this gets its oxygen from the blood in the scalp. Wigs and hairpieces will damage hair only if they are too tight.
‘Frequent shampooing makes hair fall out’
False. Shampooing simply gets rid of the hairs that have already fallen out.
‘Blow-drying and heated brushes can worsen hair loss’
True. The reason is that extreme heat damages the proteins in the hairs, making them fragile and liable to break off. Brushing the hair during blow-drying causes more damage. Careless use of heated brushes can even burn the scalp, so that the hair follicles are permanently damaged in that area.
‘Protein-containing conditioners and shampoos nourish the hair and help it to grow’
False. Protein-containing conditioners only temporarily fill in defects on the surface of the hair shaft, making it smoother and thicker.
‘Hair dyes, perms and hairsprays worsen hair loss’
False. Hair dyes, perms and hairsprays do not affect thinning hair. Perms and hairsprays can help to disguise the problem.
‘If your father has a full head of hair, you will not go bald’
False. A tendency to baldness is inherited and probably involves a combination of genes. So you are not automatically in the clear even if your father has a full head of hair. It is not true, as sometimes claimed, that only genes from the mother’s side are involved.
‘Baldness means that you are more likely to have a heart attack’
Partly true. In 1999, doctors at Harvard Medical School found that men who had lost hair at the crown of the head had a 32% increased chance of coronary heart disease. Hair loss at the front of the head (a receding hairline) hardly increased the risk at all. So if you have baldness at the top of your head, you should stop smoking, eat healthily, have your blood pressure checked and do some exercise.
‘Low levels of zinc in the body are a reason for hair loss’
Probably false. There is no evidence that low zinc levels cause hair loss in people taking a balanced diet or that zinc supplements improve hair loss.
‘Stress can cause hair loss’
True. Scientists have now identified some chemicals that are produced in the body during periods of stress, which can affect hair growth (Journal of Investigative Dermatology 2004;123:455–7).
‘It is normal to lose hair from our early 30s’
True. A person aged 20–30 years typically has 615 hair follicles per square centimetre. The number falls to 485 by 50 years of age and to 435 at 80–90 years of age. Also each hair is thinner. So, with ageing, hair becomes both finer and sparser.

For Dhanteras opt for trousers with a linen shirt. Colors like pink or white with embroidery in short length and V shape enhance the physical structure of the person. Even kurtis and narrow denims look good. Smaller built men should avoid prominent straight lines.

For Laxmi Pujan, kurtas in chikan or lucknowi in fresh colors like yellow or white look good. Team them up with churidars. For jute silk kurtis go for deeper colors like green with embroidered stand collars. For bigger builts pathanis in black chikan look great.

For Bhai Dooj, choose fun self printed shirt fabrics with small flowers and linen trousers. Waistcoats and vests in artificial brocades look good with narrow bottom trousers in beige and cream.

Accessories for Men

Lockets made of mud add to the earthen appeal. Or else play safe and go for gold pendants this season.

Pearl buttons on kurtis look neat and classic.

Watches, wallets and shoes from noted brands is a must-have accessory. In shoes the semi pointed mojris or slip-ons on pathanis are very in.

Traditional wears for women this diwali

Let Diwali usher you into a new world of fashion. And to help you do that, we have the gorgeous husband and wife designer duo, Shruti and MangeshMangesh and Shruti, designers Pune Mahadev of Mai Studio. Both have done their post graduation in fashion designing and have worked as stylists and designers for several shoots, advertisements and serials. Mangesh has also designed for Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie for Mighty Heart. Here are the couple’s fashion fundas for Diwali.

Attires for women

This season bright colors like green, red, magenta, fresh yellow etc are in vogue. Also bright colors in contrast work well. So team up peacock blue with peacock green or magenta with green and let pastel shades take a backseat.

For Laxmi Pujan opt for traditional sarees like Banarasi, Kanjeevaram or Paithani. If you are looking for designer sarees then go for plain ones with nice borders or net sarees.

Blouses make a strong fashion statement. Be innovative by stitching layered blouses, or adding patchwork of gota work, brocade, lace or even ribbons. If your saree is heavy then try jute with leather or corduroy work. Styles of yesteryears like a bow in the back or a timeless corset can be worn on a skirt or a saree. A jacket on a transparent net saree with lot of work can look ultra chic.

For Dhanteras or Bhai Duj choose a salwar kameez with an Indo-western touch. In salwar kameez for the slim structured women the skin fitting ‘Mumtaz’ look is very in. Plain salwar kameez with contrast brocade borders and the high collared look with long sleeves looks good on the bigger built women. Two tone effect fabrics in weaves like mangalgiri and standalone jute silk fabrics with intricate embroidery are great choices. Spaghettis, halter styles or noodle straps are still popular this season. This should be avoided by the big built women who can opt for flared or transparent long sleeves.

To enhance the Indo-western look, paneled A-line or straight skirts with raw silk kurtis or corsets look pretty and festive. The kurtis can be later teamed with jeans for day to day wear. Brocade pants and kurtis or short kurtis with jackets look contemporary with an Indian touch.

Accessories for women

Salwar kameez or skirts can be teamed with stylish patchwork stoles.

Bright colors are not just confined to clothes but bags as well. Pink, red or beaded clutches with Swarvoski buckles are great picks this season. For a contemporary look, clutches in dull metallic colors look understated yet classy.

For heavy sarees avoid heavy neckwear if you are wearing chandelier earrings or danglers. If necessary wear delicate neckwear.

Artificial matching jewelry or with just one gram gold looks just as real and is quite affordable too.

For traditional sarees opt for kundan or jadao replicating the Mughal era or the traditional jewelry with antique polish for the classic royal touch. Anklets or kadas like the kathiawadis are big this season.

The latest ‘chik’ necklace that sticks to your neck looks funky on Indo-western clothing.

For hair accessories wear pins with Swarvoski stones.

In shoes, studded sandals in thin strappy designs with Swarvoski or flat chappals with elegant designs look great.

So dress in style this Diwali!

The funky Diwali look for women

Fashion designer Archana Kochchar has given the cocktail sari a whole new look. "I make saris that don't look like saris," she says.

With the right placements of cuts and slits, her creation can pass off for an evening gown, lehenga (long skirt) or long kurta to be worn over trousers or jeans. A speciality in her saris are the kalis, with extra pieces of cloth added to the bottom for more leg room. The kalis come in different colours, giving her saris a funky look. Her saris do not have pleats.

When it comes to salwar kameezes, she says, "Everyone concentrates on the kurta, but I work on enhancing the look of the salwar." She adorns salwars with multi-coloured brocade patches; they can have up to 10 different coloured patches, making them rich and vibrant.

Even Archana's dupattas are not your typical long piece of rectangular cloth. They are asymmetrical and structured with cuts, embellished with thread and patchwork in colours like brown with olive green, brown with turquoise and ivory with multi-coloured patches.

Along with patchwork, she adorns her creation with crystal, sequins, coin work, shells, zardozi and other thread work. Her tip if you are making a blouse: "I play with the sleeves, back and hem line, but give the neck a basic vee or round shape. An embroidered neckline tends to clash with the jewellery."

Fabrics like brocade, crushed silk, lilac, georgette and crepe are in.

Remember in the movie “Sex and the City” how Samantha Jones dates a short guy and eventually dumps him. Actually if you go through the fairy tales, novels or dramas, the attribution, which are given to the protagonists of the plot, are more often, tall, dark, and handsome for men. Women too of the tales are always tall and beautiful like the Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, or even Arial the Little Mermaid. It is always said that beauty lies in the eye of beholders. However more often than not, there are some criteria of beauty, which you need to fulfill in order to be “in”. Being tall is one such standard. However, you cannot control how tall you would be and it largely depends on the genes and various other factors. But just because you are not tall doesn’t mean you have to live your life like the “Ugly Betty”. You can alter this for good and you don’t even have to kiss a frog to do that. You can appear taller with the few tips given below. Read on to know how to appear taller when you are actually not.

Tips For Appearing Taller

* Posture plays a very important part in making you appear with a good height. Slumped shoulders, bowed back etc makes even a very tall person look shorter not to talk about the actually shorter ones. A good posture provides even physical benefits. Try to stand or sit straight all the time. It will help you look taller and also will help you reduce the negative effects of aging.
* You can incorporate exercises to help you improve the posture. Do pull-ups and other exercises under the guidance of your instructor. One easy way by which you can improve it is by leaning against the wall. Keeping your head, shoulder, butts and heels in contact with the wall, use your muscle to minimize the space between you and the wall. The gap between you and the walls should be only slight. It will help you improve your posture greatly.
* Hairstyle too plays an important part in making you appear taller. A short hair cut thin from the sides can make men look taller. An updo for women is a great option. Spiky, bob, and or puffed hair on top will look nice and make you appear taller at the same time.
* Clothes too play a very important role to make you look taller. Learn from the Hollywood and the Bollywood celebrities. A monochromatic that is, one color pattern for clothing will give the illusion of height. Also, select dresses, which will not break your body into blocks. Big belts, big waisted jeans or very different top and bottom will make you appear shorter. Also always, go for well-tailored dresses. Vertical lines for cloth pattern will also add height for you.
* You can also wear heels if you want to look taller. Women can go for stilettos, wedges, and even pumps. Guys can wear formal high heels.
* You can accessorize for taller appearance. Long earrings, scarves, long pendants, hats and sunglasses also add heights. You can also go for V-neck if you want to add height.
* Sometimes if you are overweight, you look shorter. Try losing weight as slim gives the illusion of height. However, your attitude matters a lot. Have a cool attitude and loads of self-confidence and you will be “IN” in any situation.

Recession Hits India Youth going for Street Fashion (Banglore Survey)

2009-10-03T08:38:00.000-07:00

A visitor taken to colleges across this city will be taken in by the trendy wardrobe of students. A closer look, however, reveals that the fashionable dresses and accessories are not expensive 'branded' items. They are picked up from the shops that dot the lanes and by-lanes around the main shopping complexes around the city.

Scores of youngsters in this tech hub feel that's one way to beat the recession and still be trendy, as there has been a dip in their pocket money.

The dresses and accessories are readily available and are funky.

'Till a few months back, I was a loyal customer of brands like Lee Cooper, Mango and Fab India, as far as buying clothes was concerned. But, due to the economic slowdown and my father being a businessman, my pocket money was cut. So, these days I am hunting and buying clothes from the streets of Bangalore,' college student Monica Singh told.

'These days I can hardly save money to spend on brands to buy my clothes and accessories. My pocket money has been drastically chopped, as both my parents are employed in the IT industry and they too have endured cuts in their pay packages. Thus, I am settling for affordable clothes from the city's streets,' said Nandita Mohan, another college-goer.

But changing their preferences from shopping in swanky malls to the city's streets does not mean that the young are compromising on their 'style quotient'.

'We have some of the funkiest clothes for youngsters. Be it tops, T-shirts or jeans, we have everything to offer. In fact, we have the best of fashion available at affordable prices. That is why we are inundated by shoppers every day,' smiled Yousuf Khan, a shopkeeper in Brigade Road.

'I take a lot of care while picking my clothes. So what if I am getting fashionable clothes at an affordable price? I make it a point to buy trendy clothes,' said Arjun Pai, another teenager.

Experts believe that over time, the street fashion sense of Bangalore has improved. The brands have made the young more style conscious and the street shoppers more aware.

Popular fashion designer Prasad Bidappa said that it was not wrong to buy clothes from the streets as long as the youth did not make a fashion faux pas.

'Fashionable means being comfortable and trendy. There is nothing wrong in buying affordable clothes from the streets. But, buyers should be aware about the latest trends and avoid making any mistakes,'
