| Hair |
The hair should be well conditioned. Lustrous hair, short or long tresses and
well-cut, are a woman's delight. First and foremost, always comb your hair gently to prevent breakage. Hair is at
its weakest when wet. So never brush your hair when wet. As far as possible let
your hair dry naturally. Oil your hair at least twice a week.

Tips:
•
Wash and clean a bunch of Methi leaves in water. Without adding water, add black
pepper, a few drops

or juicer and drink this concoction. Drinking this
regularly will increase hair

Half an hour before washing your hair, rub coconut milk onto your scalp. This

The eyes are the most sensuous and expressive part of the face.

you have widely spaced eyes, make them look closer by drawing your eyebrows in
nearer together, extending eyeliner beyond the inner corners of your eyes and
blend in eyeshadow towards the nose. Anyone over 18 should avoid wearing
foundation at the outer corner of the eye where it bunches up into lines: just
dust with powder instead.

Eye Exercise:

Sit down and relax. Breathe normally, and look at a spot between your eyes,
above the bridge of your

and then relax the eyes. Next look at the tip of your
nose, also to the count of
five and relax. This exercise will ease the stress and tension and will relax
your eyes.

Sit up straight and look down. Slowly inhale and start rolling your eyes to the

exhaling while moving your eyes
left and downwards in a circular movement. Repeat three times.
