Dandruff is an unexplained ailment. Dandruff occurs due to the extreme shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp of the head. The majority of cases can be effortlessly treated with specific shampoos. Dandruff is not an organism or parasite like head lice; it is mere dead skin that accumulates in the scalp. Dandruff is doubtful to be the cause of hair loss or baldness.
Dandruff can occur at any age but is most frequently found in people between the ages of twelve and eighty. It is the consequence of the normal growing process of the skin cells of the scalp i.e. the head skin. Shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp at an extreme rate is the result of the normal growing process of the skin cells of the scalp. Dandruff is an itchy condition, very annoying and unrelenting skin disorder of the scalp.
Malassezia furfur fungus is found naturally on the skin surface of both healthy people and those with dandruff, it has lately been shown that a scalp specific fungus, Malassezia globosa, is the accountable agent. Hormones may also be concerned, because dandruff usually initiates after puberty and is more commonly seen in males as compared to women. Malassezia feeds on oil that is present in your scalp. For that reason, having extremely oily skin and hair makes you more susceptible to dandruff.
Sometimes sensitivities to some hair related products or hair dyes can cause an inflammation i.e. red, itchy, scaling scalp. Another skin condition that concerns the scalp is called Psoriasis. Inflamed red patches start to appear, covered by silvery whitish scales. This regularly also affects skin around the ears, knees and elbows. Dandruff is often known as ‘dry scalp’, but people with oily head skin are likely to suffer the most. An oily head skin also supports the growth of P. ovale. Dandruff is a chronic state that can be controlled, but it may take a little endurance and perseverance.
Some Tips to Get rid of dandruff
1. Hair gels and other hair products can irritate the scalp in some people causing dandruff.
2. Never scratch your scalp as that can lead to increase in dandruff condition in future.
3. Avoid dyeing your hairs until it is of utmost importance.
4. Massage some oil on your scalp about 3 times a week. Never rinse it out.
5. Shampoo containing tea tree oil is very effective in getting rid of dandruff.

A lot of people compare BOTOX to Restylane, but this is really a big mistake. Comparing BOTOX and Restylane is just like comparing apples to oranges. Apples and oranges are edible fruits and that’s just about where the similarities end. Likewise Restylane and BOTOX Cosmetic are both dermal injectables that can help alleviate wrinkles, but that’s all they have in common. How they work and reasons why you would want to use one over the other are completely different. BOTOX Cosmetic immobilizes facial muscles and downsizes wrinkles, while Restylane fills in fine lines and smoothes out creases. Better comparisons might be between other dermal fillers like Restylane vs. CosmoPlast™ or Restylane vs. Radiesse®, as dermal fillers have far more similarities. A better way to think of it might be BOTOX Cosmetic vs. dermal fillers, in the end which one is really best at getting rid of wrinkles?
Botox Cosmetic Eliminates Wrinkles but can do so Much More
BOTOX is the fastest growing wrinkle treatment in the world. From toxic roots, BOTOX injections have become as commonplace as going to the dentist. To learn about whether or not BOTOX Cosmetic is for you, you should really little bit about BOTOX itself. BOTOX is a protein derived from the botulism toxin, Clostridium botulinum. Very scientific, but it doesn’t tell us much about it. BOTOX weakens the muscles that cause facial wrinkling, and these fine lines essentially become invisible in less than a week. BOTOX Cosmetic is great for laugh lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases. What BOTOX can do that dermal fillers can’t is treat hyperhidrosis. Hyperhidrosis, for those of you not in the know, is excessive perspiration or, in other words, sweat. A shot of BOTOX in your under arms can make even the most hectic day cool, calm, and dry, and keep your new cute outfit looking just that. There’s no such thing as a cute stain.
Restylane vs. Juvederm vs. Collagen vs. Radiesse: the Dermal Fillers Duke it Out
Dermal fillers have a few different options as to what they’re composed of, but all dermal fillers mainly do the same things: fill fine lines, add facial curves, and plump lips. I use Restylane as an example because it’s really the hottest flavor of the month. Restylane, Juvederm, and Perlane are all clear gels made from a synthetic hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in healthy skin. Since hyaluronic acid is found in the body, Restylane has less of chance of causing an allergic reaction unlike bovine derived Collagen (that’s cows, people). However, this is becoming less of an issue because of the development of human collagen based fillers like CosmoPlast™ and CosmoDerm™. The main difference between BOTOX and Restylane is that BOTOX downsizes wrinkles, while Restylane fills them in. Restylane injections might leave you a little puffy looking, but it could also be the best option for more extensive facial creasing. BOTOX, also, cannot be used on lips like Restylane because of the simple fact that paralyzed lips can make things like talking and not drooling a big issue! Another dermal filler is Radiesse, which contains calcium and phosphate ions, also, naturally found in body, this time in our bones. Radiesse has the added benefit of lasting up to 5 years! Most physicians recommend trying Restylane treatments first before making the big commitment to Radiesse.
The choice between BOTOX and Restylane is about matching the product to your needs and not just going with the latest trend. The great thing is that dermal injectables are inexpensive enough to shop around. So, try them out for yourself and see which dermal filler you truly like the best. In the end, they all create smoother skin, and that’s hard to go wrong with. Popular websites like SignaureForum or Healthy Skin Portal can direct you to information on whichever dermal filler you choose.

Medspas have been cropping up on nearly every corner over the past five years. From strip malls to medical office buldings, the pursuit of cash revenues from office-based procedures has been growing.The emergence of Botox, injectable fillers, liposdissolve, and laser treatments, in combination with the public’s insatiable appetite for youth and anti-aging treatments, has been largely responsible for this medspa concept. The medical quality behind many medspas, however, may be lacking.
Comments from plastic surgeons about this trend are usually viewed as attempts at ‘constraint of fair trade’. Personally, I don’t care what others do, inside or outside of medicine. I have enough to worry about in my plastic surgery and spa practice and I prefer to focus on honing my own skills and providing the best possible cosmetic care that I can. The cosmetic marketplace is not like traditional medicine… it is really let the buyer beware. There are few regulatory agencies or guidelines for a burgeoning field that is not behest to federal and private insurance rules of reimbursement. In this market, only the attorneys and the threat of malpractice and liability issues (and perhaps one’s good conscience?) keep it from spinning completely out of control.
What I find most troubling, however, is the complete disregard or lack of concern about patient safety…..for the sake of revenues. Here in Indianapolis, I know of aestheticians who regularly perform Botox in their own home, cosmetologists doing injectable fillers in hair salons, nurse assistants doing lipodissolve injections, Internists performing threadlifts and ENT surgeons doing breast augmentations in their own surgery centers. Providers performing procedures for which they have little training and and no formal background, not to mention being well outside what their licenses and certificates would permit, treating patients as study subjects. (when you are training on someone without supervision by a qualified provider in an educational setting….you are a study subject!Observing someone else perform the procedures in a local office does not constitute real education and training! The providers aside, I am not sure exactly what some patients are thinking…..iin the hopes of saving a few dollars or driving a few less miles…. or is it the appeal of a well-crafted advertisement or website?
Equally disturbing… and the genesis of this rant is… that physician (and yes some dentists too) and other allied health and beauty care providers will contact me in the hope of providing them with some training. The very fact that this is done is highly reflective of some deeper problematic issues…. and not just that they obviously don’t respect my time and plastic surgery experience. (I got my training the old-fashioned way… what would be my motivation to give that knowledge away for free for their benefit?) Such requests for quick and easy on-site training indicate that they have no appreciation for the subtle nuances and complexities of aesthetic medicine. Just because you can take a needle and inject something doesn’t mean you know whether this is the appropriate treatment for the patient’s problem and whether an injection or other more sophisticated form of treatment might not be better. The simplicity of a treatment doesn’t always equate with overall effectiveness. Fortunately, most of these aesthetic treatments don’t carry high risks of medical complications but they do carry significant risks of poor ‘value’. Value in aesthetic medicine, while second in importance to safety, is a real economic issue for patients. What do you get…for what you are paying for? For example, the use of injectable fillers, may not be so inexpensive if poor results are obtained…and the patient later learns that they would have been better off with a facelift from the beginning. Several thousands dollars of lipodissolve treatments for a 10% improvement in a body area is very disappointing when twice that amount of money for liposuction would have produced a much better result a lot faster.
The point is… aesthetic treatments, like traditional medical therapies, require a diagnosis, treatment planning, and a review of treatment options. That is not something you can learn in a few hours of observation, reading a manual, or watching a DVD.

When your used to wearing your hair straight day in day out, you want to look different when it comes to a special occasion. Whether it’s for your birthday, wedding or ball for example you want to look like a celebrity for the night.
A great way to do this is having big glamorous curly hair.
However, you know how long it can take to curl your hair, especially if you have thick long hair. Not to mention the amount of product it requires to maintain that look throughout the night. It takes just as long if you have thin hair, since you have to take time to add volume to ensure the curls aren’t lifeless.
Sometimes you start off with good intentions but half way round your head you just can’t be bothered any longer and resort to straightening once again.
Many people opt to go to the hairdressers to pass the curling task on but this can be expensive and you may not get the desired results. This is when curly hair extensions are beneficial. Not only are they time saving they also save money on hair styling products.
You can purchase separate layers of hair usually with six clips on each layer to obtain the desired look and volume. Other people prefer to buy a one piece whole head system to save adding different layers.
Both methods are easy and fast to clip on.
The best method of adding curly hair extensions is to gather your hair from temple to temple and behind the crown and clip up or tie up the hair in a bobble. Then back comb a little at the roots to give the clip something to attach to. Now just simply place the hair against the scalp and press clips to close. The small segment of your own hair that is on show can be curled or just left how it is. It really is that simple and in an instant you have gorgeous curly hair.

From the early years until these baby boomer days, you have known that you can put your hands behind your back or in your pocket to keep someone from judging your appearance by dry skin and broken nails. Or you can try acrylic nail extensions which are applied and artfully painted by licensed salons in every community, large or small.
Nail extensions appear to be an answer to chipping, pealing and weak nails. Our hands and nails are part of the first impression that we make with someone and we are very sensitive about the presentation. We avoid dry, rough hands or chipped and pealing nails, stained by nail polish that contributed to the dry, pealing condition. Baby boomer women like to get into gardening and hobbies that can be tough on a manicure. According to my friends who have them, the extensions are actually tougher than the natural nail when faced with our demanding occupations.
You can go from austere French manicures to exotic artistic scenes painted on each extension, or a classy build-up that resembles the stronger nails that some of your associates are able to grow naturally.
Salons employ or contract with specialists who are licensed through the state cosmetology regulation departments. The specialists obtain their training through certified beauty schools and learn many aspects about a varied resource of extension products. The specialists understand that some people have sensitivity to certain or all products that are part of nail extensions. Occasionally chronic health issues and long term treatment for illness will affect the condition of your hands and nails. Be sure to tell the salon about any such treatment or condition so they can make appropriate recommendations. You cannot have had a negative experience that is new to them, so if you have had problems, tell the specialist. Then, you have a better chance of finding a product you can tolerate while you enjoy your new look.
Studies show that the products are often not the problem when there is a bad experience with nail extensions. Cleanliness at the salon or on the part of the client are more likely to contribute to problems than errant acrylic products.
The salon you select should have a separate and extremely clean table for manicures and nail extensions. A professional specialist will be conscientious about making sure you are ready for the process. Your hands and nails should be thoroughly cleaned before beginning, while open sores, irritated or infected cuticles or hangnails would lead to a recommendation to delay the extension work.
In addition to the potential for infection from the issues mentioned above, a serious bacteria with a big name, Pseudomonas aeruginosa , stalks people who have long nails or nail extensions when hands aren’t thoroughly washed or nail beds aren’t cleaned and dried. Other bacteria and microbes are seeking a place in small, dark, damp areas that can accompany long nails, be they artificial or home grown. Nail extensions that are not properly applied over natural nails that have had the natural, protective surface roughed can ‘lift’ to let bacteria get in under them. In that likely damp place, the bacteria can grow rapidly, resulting in pain and no fun with the new nails.
Now, if you weren’t pretty seriously considering nail extensions, you wouldn’t be interested in this information which appears to be trying to scare you off.
There is hope! There are some things you can do to help yourself avoid a sad experience.

Now, with precautions and information in place, apply the wisdom you’ve accumulated during the years so you can enjoy your pretty nails. When the salon offers you an appointment for a pedicure, further indulge your inclinations and set a time soon. Baby boomer women can enjoy pretty toes along with pretty fingers!

2. Now take a section of the hair from where you want to start the braid and separate it into three parts. Like you would for a normal braid.
3. Make one cross of the normal braid by moving the right most strand over the center strand and then the left most strand over the new center strand.
4. Now transfer all the strands to your left hand, but take care that you don’t mix the strands together. Put each strand in one separate slot separated by the fingers.

Failed to get a beautiful, shiny and soft hair?
Getting tired of the fake promises by the tempting expensive hair products available in the market?
Here is some good news for you. Without spending much, you can now become a proud man/woman with a beautiful hair.
First of all, let me ask you if you really understand what a shiny hair means. Hair becomes shiny when the scales of the cuticle, the protective outer layer of each hair strand, are perfectly smooth and flat against the hair shaft. The intact cuticle cells are usually flat, smooth and glossy.
But how is the shine created?
When the light gets reflected across the cuticles, a smooth hair cuticle looks like a roof with all the shingles lying flat, however regular styling, heat processing, and hair-coloring cause those shingles to lift.
When the cuticles get a healthy coating of sebum, a natural hair oil, the best shine is seen. And the hair that lacks the needed moisture to reflect light is considered to be the dull hair. Hair lacking the needed moisture and natural oils absorbs the light rather than reflecting it.
But this sebum can be damaged or completely removed from the hair due to some internal and external factors such as hormonal imbalances, harsh shampoo formulas, chemical processing, improper use of hot styling tools, weather and the environment.
To improve the texture of your hair, try using these hair care tips, you will definitely notice a marked improvement :
1. Shampoo your hair whenever you feel the need according to your hair type. Use a shampoo that increases the moisture thereby striving to maintain the natural oil mantle of your hair.
2. Do not forget to condition your hair every time you shampoo it. Go for a nutrient-rich conditioner which moisturizes and fills in the tiny cracks in your hair shaft.
3. While drying your hair, please be gentle, do not pull or rub with rough-textured towels. As wet hair is fragile, and a little amount of friction will damage the cuticle.
4. Get glossy with a water soluble fine serum - look for cyclomethicone on the label. As these glossiers are the best in restoring shine and balancing hair.
If done regularly, these hair care tips will help condition, moisten the hair along with providing a remarkable shine.
For instant results, go for the home remedies for dry hair with dandruff and see the difference it gives to your personality! Navneet Brar is here to help you with a lot more on skin care - what to do and what not to do for a perfect healthy lifestyle.

When it comes to the way we look, nothing is more important than our face. It’s the first thing other people see, it’s the immediate impression maker. People can have a superb body, but unless their face is up to par, they will never be considered attractive. On the other hand, people with not so great bodies, but beautiful faces can be just plain gorgeous.
One of the key factors in determining the quality of our face is the amount of cheek fat that we have. Having too much fat in our cheeks makes our face look pudgy and bloated. It’s little wonder then that many women and men all over the world are seeking ways to reduce and even completely lose their cheek fat.
When it comes to losing cheek fat, there are 2 major schools of thought:
1. There are people (including facial experts) which believe that by doing specific facial exercises and following a unique diet geared for your face, you can reduce cheek fat and firm and tone your facial muscles. Combined, these 2 measures will give you a firm and youthful look to your cheeks and face.
2. The other group of people believe that the best way to lose cheek fat is to go on an overall diet. They believe that by losing body fat in general, you will also lose fat from your cheeks. This is undoubtedly true as we lose fat all over our body when we diet.
Which course should you take?
If you’re overweight, then you should go on a diet in order to lose those excess pounds. Some excess weight has gotten to your face. By becoming slimmer, you will also reduce your cheek fat. Add to that the added benefit of becoming altogether slimmer and you have an excellent motivation to go on a diet.
However, if you are generally thin, but your face and cheeks are fatter than the rest of you, using a specific facial diet and fitness program maybe the thing you need in order to lose those fat cheeks. One word of caution though, facial exercises should be done with caution (when done wrong they may lead to wrinkles). That’s why I recommend that you follow a specific face diet and fitness program and not try to make stuff up yourself.
See to which group of people you belong, and follow the appropriate strategy to lose your cheek fat.

If you think that your face has become too fat, your chin is threatening to double itself, or you cheeks seem a little puffy, you’ve come to the right article. For here I’ll describe how you can lose your face fat in 5 simple steps.
Facial fat is one of the most depressing kinds to have, I know. The reason is that our face is what makes or breaks the first impression people have of us. If people dislike our face, they will never find us attractive. And the plain truth is that rounded, fatty faces are simply not that attractive. Believe me, I wish they were. It would’ve made things much easier for me, as I’m sure it would to some more of you.
But don’t be discouraged. There are ways you can lose your face fat and have a firmer, toner face with more prominent cheek bones.
Here are 5 Steps To Lose Your Facial Fat
1. Lose overall body fat - When we gain too much weight, some of it finds itself in our chin, jowls, cheeks and face. We can’t help it. We can’t choose where we want to gain fat and where we don’t. One way in which you can lose some face fat is to reduce your overall fat percentage. Doing this is pretty basic: become more active, exercise, and maintain a healthy diet.
2. The second step you need to take is to drink more water and fluids - The reason why this is so important is twofold: First drinking water is crucial if we want to lose any kind of fat, facial or other. Second, when our body is deprived of water it starts to retain whatever water it already has. This makes us feel and look bloated and puffy. In no place is this phenomenon so obvious as in our face. By drinking 8-12 glasses of water each day, you will not only improve your health, you will also make your face appears firmer and less fat.
3. Go easy on the salt - Salt causes water retention in a big way. That’s why if you indulge in eating salt loaded foods like fast food and French fries your face will appear bloated and fatty. When you add salt to your food do it in moderation. Taste the food before adding salt to it so that you can gauge how much you really need.
4. Facial Exercises - One way in which you can make your entire face appears firmer is to do facial exercises. These strengthen and tone the facial muscles and burn face fat. They also help to prevent or reduce sagging in your face since the muscles are better able to support the skin.
5. Cosmetic procedure - If all else fails to give you the desired result (if you do the 4 steps I’ve related this shouldn’t happen) you always have the option of cosmetic procedure to lose your face fat. There are basically 3 types of procedures that you can do:

• Ultrasound which uses sound waves to break apart the fat cells in your face.
• Liposuction - which uses a tube inserted into your skin to suck the fat out.
• Cosmetic surgery - In which the fat is cut out of your body and the face is patched to appear younger, smoother, and slimmer.

I say that this is the last resort to lose your facial fat since each of these operations is very costly, mostly not covered by insurance (since this isn’t a health related procedure), and very risky. Imagine how a single mistake here can damage your face forever. If you do opt for having a cosmetic procedure to lose your face fat, choose your surgeon or doctor carefully to make sure he or she is experienced.
I hope these 5 steps to losing your facial fat will help you in your quest for a youthful, firm, and beautiful face.
