Serums for hair maintenance

I am not blessed with smooth silky hair and hence, I need to use serums to keep my strands in shape and not like I just walked into an electric pole. The use of traditional methods to keep frizzy hair in control has been natural oils extracted from coconut as the texture is thick and keeps the strands down in place.

Today, with the onset of many hair care and skin care products, options are unlimited and there is no dearth of choices. Likewise hair, we also need to use products to preserve the natural body oils, which is why the use of a body lotion serum with essential oils that penetrate the dermis layers is crucial. This helps to keep the skin hydrated and PH value balanced.

There are a number of traditional treatments that employ the use of hair products and oils made from natural ingredients and since the demand for less or non-sticky hair oil is high, serums were introduced to cater to hair concerns. These offer each strand with nourishing ingredients that hydrate the roots and keeps frizz in control. Some of the best serums infuse instant moisture-lock technology that result in a glossy finish and keeps the scalp hydrated for longer duration.


Opt for a serum that leaves no residue as this can cause pore blockage, resulting in dirt trap that can further aggravate the skin causing rashes and irritation. The need to maintain hair health is as important as skin health that is crucial to good personal hygiene and overall wellness. A serum that offers a residue-free finish allows the scalp to breathe and keeps greasiness at bay. Despite the light texture, such serums tend to comprise of a rich blend of ingredients that nourishes, repair and protects against environmental damage. To recognise one, read the label that should have cold-pressed certified and organic oils printed on it.

Botox injections are one of these ways that erases these wrinkles and acne spots temporarily from your face. This is one of the most quick and easy methods of erasing these problems from your skin but yes, like other solutions this is also a temporary one. This is popular just because it is an advanced method and even a quick one.


But how can we forget that, more advanced the solution is, more are the possibilities of having it's side effects. Generally people use them for months and sometimes for years. Basically, it comes in the crystalline form that can be carried from one place to another as all you need is to inject into your body whenever you want to. The problem comes when the substance that is there in it, which is also known as Botulinum toxin starts leaving it's effects if used in excess.

How to pick a beautician course that’s a winner

Fashion and wellness have been creators of a whole new segment of jobs.  Through beauty institutes offering beautician courses ranging far and wide, the need for specialists in the industry is rapidly growing. 

As much as that has created new areas of opportunities, choosing a beauty school that offers professional industry-intensive courses is not a walk in the park. Even more, the choice of a dietician course is clouded by an array of options offering specialisations totally different in scope and effect. 

beautician course

To begin with, you can pursue a beautician course that offers full-time scope of activity. These require you to go for classes and training sessions as scheduled each day of the week.  Working professionals who at some point had thought of taking the plunge into the industry worth millions of dollars could instead of going for full-time courses opt for a course that can be accomplished after work hours.  

It is important you know where do you see yourself placed in the industry after formal certification, and then choose a course based on that. For example, if your interest lies in joining the film industry as a make-up specialist, you would need to be through with at least the basics of lighting. Also, it would be expected out of you to have a good grip on a wide range of make-up skills. 

On the other hand, someone who wants to join a top beauty service provider would need skills way different. The focus on understanding skin tones, sensitivity etc would be much greater in this case. 

It is therefore imperative that your choice of a beauty training centre is in line with your future aspirations. While taking opinions from friends and peers from the industry helps, you must carry out the due diligence mandatory on your part.  In particular, check the number of hours assigned and the affiliation of the certification.

Taking care of your hair and looks

There is more to than just using creams and cosmetics to treat or hide imperfections. Your skin and hair need care, attention and above all time vested to maintain and sustain their health levels. Seeking consultation of a dermatologist and cosmetologist for major skin and hair related concerns become imperative if the ailment requires added treatment, however, with minor or mild concerns, you can work on home-made or over-the-counter remedies to prevent the condition from aggravating further. Any concern that hinders your health needs a holistic counteractive approach from the inside out.

According to experts, a well-structured balanced approach to your lifestyle and diet is essential. This means using natural remedial approaches that include nutrient intake sourced from vegetables and meats and adherence to a daily regime with the use of cleansers, toners and sunscreens to fairness creams and body lotion to trap moisture and retain suppleness and firmness.


The use of a natural herbal based shampoo, every second day, and a conditioner in a week, helps to retain the lost lustre and shine. Since centuries, our appearance has been regarded as our source of beauty. Hair texture differs from people to people. For some, the texture is dry and for others it is oily. This highlights the need to tackle the concern individually.

If dry the treatment requires gentle warm hair oil massage twice a week for deep scalp nourishment. And if oily, ensure to use a good shampoo comprising of healing elements like henna and neem, thrice a week, as oily hair tends to attract dirt faster.  Get professional head massage using herbal-based non-sticky hair oil. This will encourage growth and help maintain health.

Blindly using products which promise to transform your looks in a matter of a few weeks is a far-fetched claim. We are aware of the fundamentals for skin and hair care which means taking note of your skin type and texture type is important. A natural glowing complexion and lustrous locks add to our elegance and attractiveness. This makes it imperative that we take extra care of these.
