Amazing Frozen Lemons

Place the washed lemon in the freezer.

Once frozen, get your grater, & shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your foods! 

On vegetables, salad, ice cream, soup, cereals, noodles, spaghetti sauce,

rice, sushi, fish dishes, ... the list is endless. 

All the foods will get an unexpected wonderful taste!

Most likely, you only think of lemon juice as vitamin C ??

Not anymore! What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than preventing waste & adding new taste to your dishes? 

Lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself & that's what you've been wasting! Lemon peels are health rejuvenators in eradicating toxic

elements in the body. 

The surprising benefits of lemon is the miraculous ability to kill cancer cells! It is 10,000 times stronger

than chemotherapy!! Why do we not know about that? 

Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. 

You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. 

Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific

effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the multimillionaires large corporations? 

This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, 

it regulates blood pressure

& an antidepressant, combats stress & nervous disorders. 

The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug

I AM A VERY PROUD and GIFTED EMPRESS QUEEN- I am The BLACK RAPUNZEL!

I was born in the twin Island of Trinidad & Tobago. I migrated to the U.S about 

29 yrs ago and is a U.S citizen.I am married with a 12yr old named Zion.

Asha Mandela has what you might call a head-turning head of hair. The 50-year-old mother from Atlanta has been called the “black Rapunzel” for her 55-foot dreadlocks, the world’s longest.

"My hair has become part of me. It is my life. I will never cut it," Mandell said, adding that she maintained her locks even while undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The tattooed, bejeweled mother of one has also overcome two strokes and two heart attacks.

But her roughly 39 pounds of hair have also affected her spine. "The doctors seem to think I have a curvature of my spine and that it's the length and the weight of my hair that's making me curve,” she said. "Some have said my neck has collapsed at the back and that I need to be careful because I could start having spasms in my spine and probably be paralyzed."

Still, Mandela wants to keep growing her hair. "Cutting it would be equivalent to suicide. It would be like being a zombie." She says her locks have helped her love life. "My hair has never caused a problem with intimacy. I think it adds a little spice on top," she added.

In 2009, Mandela made headlines when she earned an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest dreadlocks. At the time, they measured 19 feet, 6 inches long – but one strand of hair measured 55 feet, 7 inches – nearly three times the official length. Washing her dreadlocks also proves to be a challenge. “I wash my hair once a week,” she said. It can take up to two days for the strands to dry.

“When I first started, it was more of a spiritual journey. It wasn’t anything to do with a fad or style in fashion,” Mandela said. “After 25 years of growth, my hair has really become part of me and I feel that if I ever cut my hair I’d really be taking away my life.”

 

Are you up for the challenge with your hair? 

Cheers!

Simple Tricks To Make Your Hair Grow Faster

 

Do you envy Rapunzel?

Such long and lustrous hair. It is dream that most have and it is not unachievable.

Whether you are suffering from hair growth problems or envious of the long and shiny locks of your favourite movie star or want to get out of a disastrous haircut, we have the best solutions for all these hair issues!

The Science Behind Hair Growth

1. An average human has 1,00,000 hair follicles, each of which produce 20 hairs in a lifetime.
2. Each of our hair strands undergoes 3 stages: Anagen phase, Catagen phase and Telogen phase.

About 90% of the hair on your scalp now is in the growth phase or the Anagen phase which usually takes around 5 years.

During the Catagen phase, the hair follicle shrinks. This happens to 1% of hair strands and takes about a month’s time.

And finally in the Telogen phase, the hair rests or falls off. This happens to around 10 – 15% of the hair strands and this period last up to 5 months.

3. The rate of hair growth varies from person to person, but the average rate is about 15 centimetres or 6 inches per year.

4. Each hair strand completes its cycle and wears off. A person loses about 50 to 100 of hair strands per day. On the day when you wash your hair, you end up losing up to 250 strands. But if you lose more than this range, you suffer from severe hair fall problem and should consult a dermatologist.

Causes Behind Hair Fall

Genetics: Genetics is one of the major causes of hair fall. Studies show that 60% of the people inherit the problem of acute hair fall. And sadly there are no treatments to cure hair fall caused by heredity. However you can take care of your mane to delay the process and make it healthy and shiny.

Improper Diet: A healthy diet is very important not only for our body, but also for skin and hair. Our scalp cells needs proper nourishment and nutrition. People who follow low protein diet can suffer protein deficiency which leads to massive amount of hair shedding. Deficiency of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients can cause hair fall and thinning of hair.

Prolong Diseases: Hair loss caused due to diseases or illness is mostly temporary. It is cured once the body returns to good health. Typhoid, flu, fungus infection on the scalp (ringworm) etc causes hair fall.

Thyroid imbalance is another condition which leads to temporary hair fall, as both underactive and over active thyroid glands is responsible for hair loss. However it can easily be cured by proper medication from the physician.

Stress: Our present day lifestyle has long working hours and a hectic schedule and stress is the subversive effect. Our scalp cells, like other body cells, need relaxation and rejuvenation. Therefore practice yoga and meditation to reduce the effects of stress and thus reduce hair fall.

Cosmetics: Use of chemical laden cosmetics causes severe hair fall. These chemicals clog your scalp pores by forming a layer over it. Most of the shampoos and conditioners contain harsh chemicals which have adverse effects on your hair. Avoid using them and switch to natural products, you can use a mixture of amla, reetha and shikakai to wash your hair. A hair pack of honey and eggs can be used as a natural conditioner.

There are also some mechanical reasons also which cause hair fall like excessive combing, hair styling (like dye, bleach, perming), tight braids etc. are.

How To Grow Hair Faster 

Check What You Eat: It has already been discussed that diet plays an important role for the growth of healthy and lustrous hair. It is very important that you nourish them from outside as well as inside.

A well balanced diet for healthy skin and hair should consist of fresh fruits and vegetables and should be followed religiously. Include nutrients such as Vitamin B12, zinc, iron and calcium as they prevent hair loss. You know that our hair is composed of “keratin”- a protein, so have a protein rich diet which consists of soybean, cheese, milk, fish, chicken etc. Stay away from that junk and processed food as it inhibits hair growth. So what you eat is the answer to how to increase hair growth.

Dietary Supplements: To regulate the growth of the hair1naturally, include dietary supplements such as bio vitamins, multivitamins and omega 3 fatty acids. They are also found in green leafy vegetables, cereals, peas, fish, beans, almonds, yoghurt etc. However before taking any supplements in the form of tablets or capsules, consult your physician as some people may be allergic to them.

Here is a list of essential vitamins for hair growth that will help answer the question of how to improve hair growth.

Drink More Water: Do you know that our hair consists of 95 % protein and 5 % water? Therefore it is important that you should drink 10-12 glasses of water daily, to keep your grow hair faster and keep it nourished and healthy.

Regular exercise: Regular exercise not only keeps our body healthy but also encourages hair growth. 20 minutes of regular exercise such as yoga, meditation, walking, jogging, dancing, cycling etc improves blood circulation and helps the nutrients to penetrate into our scalp.

Proper Sleep: Do not forget to include 8 hours of sleep in your daily routine. Lack of sleep causes hair fall, dark circles, pigmentation, dull skin and a stressful mind. A peaceful sleep is important for healthy mind and body. Try to sleep on silk pillowcase as it will be soft on your hair by causing less friction.

Regular Trimming: Split ends are one of the major reasons which inhibit hair growth. If your hair is dry and damaged, then you are bound to have split ends. Trim your hair every 3 months to get rid of split ends and encourage hair growth. Remember – never prick your split ends as it would further aggravate your problem.

Cleansing: Wash your hair regularly to keep it clean and healthy. The sebum produced by the oil glands form a layer over the scalp and inhibits the growth of hair. Do not use chemical laden products, instead opt for natural shampoos and conditioners. But frequent shampooing is also harmful as it will make it dry, stripped and prone to breakage. Wash your hair twice a week to keep it squeaky clean and healthy.

Hot oil Massages: Nothing can be more soothing than a hot oil massage with your favourite aromatic oils. Oil massage improves blood circulation to the roots of your hair and encourages hair growth. You can use various oils such as coconut, almond, olive, and jojoba or rosemary oil for regular massages. Use a towel dipped in hot water to cover your hair after the massage as it helps in penetrating the oil into your scalp opening the pores.

Protect Your Hair: Pollution, sun and dust can have adverse effects on your tresses. They make your hair dry and damaged by stripping off the natural oils from the scalp and inhibit the hair growth. Wear a hat or cover your head with a silk scarf when you step outside. Avoid tight hairstyles such as high ponytails, tight braids, cornrows as they put a stress on your hair making them loose form the roots and cause hair fall. Do not comb wet hair as they are easily prone to breakage.

Natural Hair Pack: Apart from all these, you obviously have the best and safest option of the various homemade remedies for hair growth - Amaze products range +2348037818132. You can use amla, fenugreek seeds, onion juice, avocado etc for effective results. However these remedies may take a long time and thus you have to be patient with these.

In most cases, it has been observed that by the regulation of diet, exercising, healthy hair practices and regulating the stress levels, people have successfully been able to control even the most severe hair fall problem.

Hair Extensions: The fastest way to make your hair appear longer is to use hair extensions. These are of varying lengths, straight or wavy and different colours used to accentuate your look. They look chic and trendy and are the quickest solution.

Simple Tricks To Make Your Hair Lo1ok Longer: Apart from hair extensions, there are a few hair styling options that make your hair look longer than it actually is. These could include straightening, middle parting, adding layers etc.

Consult a Dermatologist: If you have tried all the home remedies without any success or have the genetic disorder of hair fall, you can try prescription for Amaze products +2348037818132. In this treatment, firstly consult a dermatologist so that he or she can study about your problem. By his or her advice, you can take supplements and undergo medications.

Homoeopathy For Hair Loss: We all are familiar with homeopathic treatment, as it has very less side effects as compared to allopathic treatments. They are clinically proven to give you effective but slow response. Be patient when you choose homeopathic treatment.

Rogaine for Hair Growth: Rogaine (minoxidil) is widely famous as the only non-prescription hair growth treatment. It is a topical treatment that stimulates hair growth and also prevents hair loss. Rogaine is safe for application for both men and women. You can easily buy Rogaine at any local drugstore.

Avoid Doing These:

Hair Colour: Most of the hair colors contain ammonia, which is an industrial bleaching agent. It can play havoc on your hair by making it dry and damaged. Excessive use of hair colors can lead to hair fall by damaging the hair follicles. Instead of chemicals try natural options like henna. It colors as well as conditions your hair making it soft, smooth and healthy hair. You can also use coffee or cinnamon powder.

 Hair Treatment: Every other day we fancy different hair styles, sometimes straight, perm or wavy. But do you know that these hair treatments use a lot of harsh chemicals which lead to severe hair fall? Regular hair straightening also leads to split ends, and once it starts splitting, you have to continuously chop them to let your hair grow. Try to avoid them as much as possible and start loving your natural tresses.

Do Not Brush Your Wet Hair: This is the one of the biggest mistakes people generally make – combing or brushing their hair while it’s still wet. Never do this. Wait for your hair to dry naturally, gently detangle and then comb softly.

Avoid Hot Water: Do not use hot water while rinsing your hair. It makes your hair very dry and brittle. Always use cool water as it allows the cuticle to smooth out and lie flat, thus giving you soft and manageable hair.

Tight Hairstyles And Rubber Bands: When you tie your hair into a tight ponytail or braid, the hair gets pulled from the roots and gets stressed. This makes them loose from the roots and thus, more prone to breakage. It makes the hair weak and causes permanent damage. Rubber bands also pull the hair out from the roots causing extensive damage to the mane. The hair becomes weak and hurts the scalp.

I hope you found these mantras, tips and tricks helpful for growing you hair faster. Do try them and discover your beautiful tresses.

Comment and tell us all about the tricks you plan to employ and later on how they worked too!
