7 Tips To Have Shiny Beautiful Hair

Labels:

We all would simply love to have the gorgeous hair that the model on TV has just shown off, although some of us, like my sister would say, in a fit of jealousy, “Pooh! That is just a wig! Don’t I know it! Just look at her swinging it; natural hair just doesn’t shine this way!”
Little do we realize that she is wrong, and that our own hair can shine as much as the next persons, if we take care of it and maintain it well.
Here are a few tips for you to soon possess that glossy superb mane of hair.

1. The cleaner your scalp, the healthier your hair. Always make sure that you massage a little oil into your hair just before you have your bath, and then wash it off with a mild shampoo. Remember to condition your hair after every wash, as this will leave your hair soft and easy to groom.

2. Mix one egg with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Apply this mixture to your scalp, and leave it one for at least twenty minutes. Wash off in tepid water; remember, hot water will scramble the eggs, and nobody wants scrambled eggs on their scalp!

3. Make a paste of fenugreek seeds soaked overnight, mix with a spoonful of fresh curd, apply on your scalp [Scalp Problems] and leave it for twenty minutes. Wash off thoroughly with mild shampoo, and your hair will shine brightly.
Remember, never brush your hair when it is still wet; this will cause split ends and take away the shine.

4. Do not blow dry your hair too often, because it may rob your hair of essential moisture and leave it dry.

5. This is a tip handed down from my grandmother: before you go to sleep at night, apply a few drops of any oil of your choice to your scalp, bend down and brush your hair downwards. Tie your hair up loosely when you sleep, and in the morning, wash it off with a mild shampoo. This will definitely give your hair a boost, and make it shine gloriously, if you follow the routine regularly.

6. Eat plenty of fresh green vegetables, fish if possible, and drink plenty of water through the day. This will keep your hair healthy, and also lend a glow to your skin.

Health and Beauty Tips for Your Brass: Keep It Shiny!

Labels: ,

Did you know that the health and beauty of your brass instruments require extra special attention? Note: Because brass instruments vary, be sure to learn the specific cleaning methods for your particular instrument. For example, rotor instruments like the French horns, rotor tubas, and rotor trombones should always be cleaned by an experienced repairperson.

Once a week, lubricate the valves on your brass instrument. Simply unscrew the valve cap and draw out the valve half way. Using the appropriate lubricant, apply a drop of valve oil to the widest part of the valve. The valves on most brass instruments have a "guide" that helps you to line up the valve. If you play a brass instrument, you know what happens after a good session of blowing. You know, "moisture" can build up inside of your instrument. If it's not removed, this moisture can do a real number on the health of your instrument. To keep your brass shining, be sure to wipe down the outside of the instrument after each use. Doing so will not only spare your brass from damage, but it'll also keep your instrument clean. Remember, your instrument case is for your instrument; storing music books, cleaning supplies, or even your lunch inside the case can lead to all kinds of problems with the slides or valves of your instrument.

You'll also need some supplies, including cleaning brushes, liquid soap, slide grease (if your instrument has slides), and valve oil.

Remove all slides, valves and valve bottom caps and place them, except for the valves, in warm, soapy water. As your parts are soaking, run warm water over your valves and use the valve brush to brush out all openings. Give your valves a good shake to remove excess water and let dry

If your instrument has slides, apply a little slide grease to each and put back together reassemble
Play that horn, Daddy-O!
