How often should you be washing your hair?...
A-list celebrity hairdresser Jon Hala said: “You should only wash your hair when it’s absolutely necessary.”
You’ll be able to tell whether your hair needs a wash or not by running your hands through it and if it still feels soft and bouncy, it’s likely it won’t need a wash.
Mr Hala said: “Although the general recommendation is to wash it a maximum of one to two times a week, I’d say that it should only be washed when the hair is visibly oily.
“If the scalp is itchy or there are signs of flakiness due to dirt, then it’s clear it’s time for a wash.
“Remember, for a healthy scalp you need natural sebum for healthy follicles and washing your hair too regularly will reduce this.”
Cally Borg, hair expert and personal stylist for Amanda Holden told Express.co.uk: “You could look at doing an at-home remedy of an apple cider vinegar rinse, where you water down the vinegar at a 1:3 ratio and rinse your hair with it once a week...
Another hack is to add shampoo directly to your hair in the shower without the addition of water. Apply shampoo and run it through your hair for a few minutes to draw out the grease. Use cooler water to wash and cleanse.
“Note, very hot water stimulates and excites the sebaceous glands creating more sebum (oil/grease) and remember, finish with conditioner working it only from midway down to the ends of your hair.”What ingredients should I watch out for in products?
A joke about how Bulgarians historically fail to stay In Inferno
A mediaeval Bulgarian, who happened to be a Bogomil, died and headed straight to Inferno, as he had never thought of himself as sinless and good enough. They didn't expect him, but let him look around to see if he would like to spend his eternity there. And the Bulgarian decided to go back to life.
"It would be a terribly boring eternity, as the only person here is Judah. Moreover, the only deadly sin and reason to be here is suicide. I'm not a suicide, so that's not the right place for me."
Refined grains, in contrast to whole grains, refers to grain products consisting of grains or grain flours that have been significantly modified from their natural composition. The modification process generally involves the mechanical removal of bran and germ,[1] either through grinding or selective sifting. Further refining includes mixing, bleaching, and brominating; additionally, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron are often added back in to nutritionally enrich the product. Because the added nutrients represent a fraction of the nutrients removed, refined grains are considered nutritionally inferior to whole grains.[2] However, for some grains the removal of fiber coupled with fine grinding results in a slightly higher availability of grain energy for use by the body.[3] Furthermore, in the special case of maize, the process of nixtamalization (a chemical form of refinement) yields a considerable improvement in the bioavailability of niacin, thereby preventing pellagra in diets consisting largely of maize products.[citation needed]
