Rid of Dandruff Naturally

How to cure Dandruff Naturally:

1) Use fresh lemon juice during or before taking a bath. Massage it on your scalp and hair. Don’t forget to rinse thoroughly.

2) Cedar wood is used as an anti bacterial or fungicide. This is also effective in getting rid of dandruff. If you have this kind of oil, all you have to do is to mix the oil of the Cedar wood, juniper and cypress in fifty millimeter of the carrier oil. After that, rub into your scalp and then leave it on for an hour. After one hour, remove it by applying mild shampoo on your hair and wash this using warm water.

3) You can also use coconut oil. First, wash your hair, however, do not use any conditioners. Your hair should be dry. Then, apply or put the coconut oil on your scalp. If possible, avoid applying it in the rest of your hair. Lastly, wash it with water and rinse thoroughly. Do this at least twice or thrice a week until dandruff is gone.

4) Apply baby oil onto scalp, and massage you scalp. Get a towel and cover your hair with towel. Leave it overnight. In the morning, wash it with water and a good anti dandruff shampoo. It will also relieve itch.

5) Vinegar is also helpful. Rub vinegar into your scalp before taking a bath everyday. Wash your hair with water and rinse thoroughly.

Manicure Tips

Manicure:

 

• A nail file and/or nail clippers
• Hand moisturizer
• Cuticle stick/orange stick
• Warm, soapy water
• A shallow bowl
• Nail polish
• Nail polish remover
• Cotton balls or Q-Tips

1. Remove all old nail polish, Take a cotton ball or Q-Tip and soak in nail polish remover. Apply to nails with polish and rub until no nail polish is left.
   2. Wash hands.
   3. Cut or shape nails. If you have extra long nails, you may want to cut or file them down. If you are just shaping your fingernails, take your nail file and file the corners of your nails. Avoid a "sawing" motion; this causes nails to become brittle and may break. Instead, take the file to a corner, and use an upward motion to the center of your nail. Repeat for the other side. Shape your nails into ovals, or, if you choose, file the top and leave the corners pointed for a square shape.
   4. Soak fingertips. Fill your bowl with warm, soapy water. Any soap will do, but I would recommend an anti-bacterial hand soap or one with some moisturizers. Dip in your fingertips and let soak for a few minutes. This softens up the cuticles and loosens any dirt under your fingernails. Dry off hands when done.
   5. Remove dirt from under nails. Make sure the whole area looks and feels clean.
   6. Push back cuticles using the stick. Push back gently as far as possible. You may cut the cuticles if you wish, but sometimes this may cause infection.
   7. Moisturize hands and cuticles. Use a good lotion to make your hands nice and soft. Take your time with this step; it is very relaxing.

Teeth whitening Tips

Teeth whitening

Step 1:

Limit your consumption of drinks that stain tooth enamel. A few of these include coffee, tea and red wine. If you simply can't cut back on these beverages, consider drinking them though a straw to limit the amount of liquid that actually comes in contact with teeth.

Step 2:

Brush your teeth immediately after eating, especially if eating foods that stain easily, such as berries.

Step 3:

Rub raw strawberries on your teeth, preferably pureed. There is an enzyme in strawberries that acts as a whitening agent. You'll want to brush and rinse after applying the strawberries to remove the natural sugars and acids they may leave behind.

Step 4:

Eat crunchy foods that require a lot of chewing such as carrots, celery, broccoli and apples. These foods are abrasive and will remove built up plaque, which dulls the appearance of teeth.

Step 5:

Dip your toothbrush directly into baking soda and brush. The results are worth the lousy taste.

Step 6:

Combine lemon juice and one teaspoon of salt to make a paste-like substance. Brush your teeth and rinse. Again, not so pleasant on the palate, but your teeth will thank you.
