Going back to our roots- the haircare edition

Part-1: Haircare- Love in Oiling

Haircare through oiling transcends generations, embodying a profound expression of love and connection in our culture. It's a shared journey of tenderness, a story every desi knows, of bonding with our mothers and grandmothers. I recall how my mother would lovingly oil my hair, a ritual that strengthened our connection. My hair suffered when I stopped allowing her to care for it, emphasizing that oiling hair is more than just a routine – it's an intimate experience. Beyond mere beauty, hair-oiling serves as a cherished heritage, a bond passed lovingly from one generation to the next.

THE THREE DOSHAS

Ayurveda posits the existence of three fundamental life energies, known as doshas, within every individual:

Vatta

Pitta

Kapha

An excess of any of these doshas can disrupt the body's equilibrium, and its impact is particularly noticeable in its effect on our hair.

In Ayurvedic philosophy, the scalp is perceived as having numerous energy-balancing centres known as "marmas." Hair oiling is considered a rejuvenating practice, as it assists in eliminating any surplus doshas that tend to accumulate in the head.

AYURVEDIC HAIR-TYPE

Healthy Vata-Type Hair is relatively thin, but often a bit coarse, may be straight, curly, or a combination of the two, grows quickly, and can be a bit unruly—potentially making it more challenging to style.

Healthy Pitta-Type Hair is straight, soft, predictable, and of moderate thickness, but very fine.

Healthy Kapha-Type Hair is typically wavy, lustrous, full, strong, coarse, and thick.

Common Imbalances

VATA- DOMINANT HAIR

Characteristics: The imbalance in vata dosha causes excessive dryness, flaky dandruff, frizzy and brittle hair. It may also cause hair thinning and split ends.

Care: It is recommended that you oil your hair two-three times a week with almond oil, cocunut oil or sesame oil infused with hair strengthening herbs like bhringraj, liquorice, shatavari, ashwagandha. Avoid harsh chemicals and heat styling to protect fragile Vata hair. Natural hair masks with honey, yogurt, or henna can further strengthen and improve its texture and shine.

Dietary additions: Vata is a cold and dry dosha, therefore, warming, grounding, and nourishing foods like nuts and seeds, with moderately heavy texture, with healthy fats (like Omega 3 fatty acids) are advised. Choose salty, sour, and sweet tastes as well as soothing and satisfying foods.

PITA DOMINANT HAIR

Characteristics: The imbalance in pitta hair might lead to excess heat in the hair follicles, thinning or premature greying hair.

Care: Use coconut oil infused with cooling herbs like hibiscus, amla and kalonji seeds. Include weekly masking with ingredients that repair such as aloe vera and brahmi. Opt for natural, chemical-free hair care products.

Dietary additions: Those with predominant pitta should refrain from spicy and astringent foods, and look for foods that are alkaline, which cool and soothe the digestive fire.

KAPHA DOMINANT HAIR

Characteristics: An imbalance in the kapha dosha can result in excess oil secretion that blocks the follicles of your scalp, which leads to wet and sticky flakes.

Care: The Kapha hair care routine involves cleansing hair and scalp 2-3 times weekly with natural herbs like reetha, shikakai, and triphala powder. For purification, use neem oil. It is effective for dandruff in bi-weekly oil-and-wash sessions.

Dietary additions: Those with the kapha dosha should focus on warm, light, foods made with dry cooking methods like baking, broiling, grilling, sautéing, etc.

Choose organic, chemical-free, and 100% virgin oils, even if they cost use( 3-4 tablespoons). Honestly, I would say get your oils pressed from a local vendor. That's what I do. It's 100% virgin and doesn't cost much at all. Otherwise, you can get them online. If you guys want, I can attach some product links too.

Usually this time of year I'd put some fireworks on my nails and I've got the stamps for it and everything but I wasn't feeling it at ALL, so since I'm about to start publishing my new MDZS/CQL fic, Pocketful of Soul, within the next couple days, I thought I'd go for some good ol' Yiling Laozu resentful energy nails.

In order from the nail up: Beefcake nail strengthener from TFLN. Someone holler if they get it back in stock, they've been out for like a year. Holo Taco Smoothing Base Coat Holo Taco Glossy Taco (the thicker I go with these things, the more glossy I put in the middle so they'll last.) HT One Coat Black More glossy taco because it needed smoothing because I bunged one of the nails. Watermarble of Electrostatic, circuit breaker and red licorice from Holo Taco (right hand also has flakie taco in the watermarble)

Scattered taco More glossy

I'll put a sneak peak of the cover behind the cut. It will be at the top of the post I'll be doing later for the story, so I don't want to confuse things.

Khari biscuit at Mumbai Irani Cafes | History Of Food | HT Lifestyle

Mumbai khari biscuit love? Chai Bisket? No! I would prefer Chai and Khari on lazy afternoons… Yaar we all know that tea without snacks is no fun. And an all-time favorite snack with tea has got to be the simple but addictive Khari Biscuit. Go back to the last time you dipped the flaky and light khari into your kadak cup of chai. The amazing feeling of it crumbling and melting in your mouth is so unparalleled! Though they borrow a lot from French puff pastry, the version we know in India most likely has origins much closer to home.

My skin and treatments

My skin has always been dry but never flaky or wrinkled, until now. I’m on my 20′s and my skin is begging me some care. I used to wash my face with Avène face wash, hydrating it with Avène hydrating cream for sensitive skin ( because my skin is really sensitive ), and cleaning makeup with Garnier micellar water.

At some moments of my life I used Bella Aurora soap, and Avène +50 spf fluid. I have chapped lips, and used Baby lips, but winter is killing them, and Baby lips it’s not enough, so I tried Lancôme lip balm with color, and honestly, in my opinion it’s not worth the price.

I started reading about GOOD skincare this year ( 2021 ), and I began using Cerave nourishing lotion. As soon as I started seeing some results, I wanted to explore more and pamper my skin.

I watched a lot of videos and read a lot of posts to discover what my skin needed.

Although my skin has always been pretty decent, I never had it glowing, fresh, clear. I have dark spots, dark circles, skin texture and some marks.

That’s why I will center my skincare on new products in a religious routine.

M🌞RNING:

- Cleanser + moisturizer + Vit C (3xW~daily) + SPF

NI🌘HT:

- Cleanser + moisturizer + Retinol (1/2xW~3xW) + BHA/AHA (3xW~daily)

✨Either:

- Niacinamide (2x day)

- HA

*Jojoba oil *Hydroquinone

I will use Cerave hydrating cleanser as my basic cleanser.

I will keep using Cerave nourishing lotion as my basic moisturizer. To help my skin adapt to the serums I will use it right after the cleanser.

Vit C - should be used from 10% to 20% concentration. As I have very sensitive skin, I will use a lower concentration. It’s an antioxidant, helps to lighten hyperpigmentation and brown spots, even out skin tone, and enhances skin radiance. I will use La Roche Posay Pure Vitamin C10 serum.

SPF - I will use either Avène or La Roche Posay, but fluid. Helps preventing skin aging, marks...

Retinol and retinol esters - are not the same; retinol is stronger and proven to have effects, and retinol esters are softer but don't cause irritation on skin. I still don't know which one will I choose, but definitely one from The Ordinary. It reduces fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen, stimulates the production of new blood vessels in the skin (which improves skin color), fades age spots and helps with skin texture.

AHA - ( lactic acid ) for me it’s a good exfoliating agent. I will use the one from The Ordinary, who also has HA. It exfoliates your skin, makes it bright, boosts collagen, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, helps reducing hyperpigmentation, acne, minimizes sun damage...

Short story: Once my legs got burned on laser, I had a lot of spots that I would never thought of them to disappear, but lactic acid worked wonders, that’s why I trust it. BHA - ( glycolic acid ) I will use it only on my body as a cream. I will use the one from Face Theory ( Glycomide Body Cream B1 ) or Cerave’s Smoothing Cream ( salycilic acid ) to help smooth the rough bumps and lumps caused by keratosis pilaris, but most of all, to exfoliate skin and get rid of dead skin cells to get a smooth, refined texture. Niacinamide - Helps build keratin , a type of protein that keeps skin firm and healthy, minimizes redness and pore appearance, protects against sun damage, treats hyperpigmentation. I will use the one from The Ordinary. Lips - I will use Aquaphor lip treatment. * I won't use HA because the Cerave and some of The Ordinary products I'm going to use, already contain HA and an excess will cause my skin to breakout. * Jojoba Oil ( eliminates excess sebum on skin ) and Hydroquinone ( used to prevent skin - I will use it on my elbows and knees - from creating excess melanin; are some products that I will only use in summer.

Which ones? I want to buy HT but it's so expensive to ship plus exchange rates D:

I bought the limited edition flakie toppers. And yes, the shipping charge blew me away. I bought 3 polishes from HT for $50 including shipping, but I could have gotten 5 polishes for the same price at ILNP.

Men's Style and Prepared by Yatan Ahluwalia: How to Look Young - Brunch Facility | ViralHai News [ad_1]

Hair: Long and naturally curly with some white strands. No hair color used. With nothing but water and fingers, the hair was slightly moistened and styled to tame the curls.

Skin: We used an organic and natural handmade face mask by Valley View Organic for cleaning deep pores and then applied a few drops of Homemade Anti-Aging Serum by Nina to nourish the skin.

Face: The beard was trimmed using Andis shaver a day earlier.

Brow: Thick and bushy. We trimmed the center, ends and lengths to make them look natural well.

Lips: Clean and Buffed.

child

1. Style

While your hairstyle choice remains and should be a personal decision, I have often found that short hair works best on mature men. Keeping the hair very short on the sides and back makes the center and top appear fuller, thicker and thicker. This creates a visual illusion that makes you look both brighter and younger.

If you have medium length hair, style the hair with a comb so that it looks clean. Use strands to cover any spots where hair is thin or missing. If you want to make your face look thinner, as well as cover your hair, then let some strand fall to the forehead.

If you have long hair (like the model in the picture) then avoid pulling it back in a tight ponytail, as this will make your forehead look wider and scarier. Instead, keep the hair open - allowing the strands to take their natural curly shape and form. Play with the strands to cover the forehead and sides.

2. Roll and Care

If you prefer to live gracefully, then you can avoid using hair color completely. Some visible varieties of brown may just make you look more respectable. Most women, I know, prefer a man who has some brown - some even tell me gray hair on men, which makes them look sexier! Take their word for it, if not mine!

If you decide to color, choose a shade like dark brown on black. It will always look more real and natural. There is nothing worse than a charcoal black block of hair, against skin that does not look naturally young.

Oil your hair once a week for a few hours or overnight. You can also use a hair mask or hair serum. Use a reliable natural shampoo and conditioner to remove the oil completely, so that the pores can breathe. Keeping your hair wet with oil will close the pores and stop or slow down the natural growth of your hair.

Facial hair

3. Brow

Your eyebrows can drastically change and change the shape of your face. Instead of leaving them unrolled, make it a point to trim the loops and clean the center.

When the outer ends are longer than the inner ends, your jawline looks sharper and the face will look more angular than round. Trim long hair using scissors so that the shape looks clean and you don't have strands that are out of place.

Repeat the process monthly or once every 15 days - it depends on the growth of your hair.

4. Make up and shave

Let me be blunt - facial hair, especially a mustache and a beard, has nothing to do with manhood. The only thing they do is actually add a few years to your face and look.

Read between the lines - Clean shaved men not only look young and new, but they actually appear more dependable, acceptable and desirable.

Since almost everyone is sporting a beard or a mustache or both these days, it would be a good idea to go under the clipper (or razor) and get rid of them for good, unless it's something that defines you And you really can't live without personally though, I really doubt that this is true.

Eyes

5. under the eyes

There is nothing better for dark circles than drinking enough water and having eight hours of sound, restful sleep.

While water intake capacity may vary from one person to another, I suggest trying to drink about four liters of water a day and keeping the eyes clean and the skin well hydrated.

My tried and tested remedy is to drink a glass of warm water with some freshly squeezed lime juice and good organic and pure honey. Do this daily at a stretch or for at least fifteen days to see visible changes and positive results. Especially recommended if you work hard or drink the previous night.

Face

6. Changing Skin and Large Pores

While women have the advantage of using makeup to cover and hide with our men - you get what you see. So I always insist that we should follow a regular skin care regime that keeps our skin clean, well maintained and as fresh as possible.

Once using a clay-based natural face mask, it will help tighten the skin, especially when used along the jawline and neck. This prevents the skin from scorching around these areas and can help reduce signs of visible chin and unwanted folds.

Clay-based facial cavities go into the pores to be cleaned, reducing the pores width and making them appear smaller.

7.Nourishment

Nourish skin by using a water-based moisturizer (for oily skin) or oil-based facial serum (for dry skin) on a clean face every night.

If you have the time and patience, mash a piece of (organic) mango or papaya and apply it on your face for a few minutes. The fruit will nourish and condition the skin. If your skin is very dry, you can include some cream obtained from full fat milk.

Internally, eat fresh fruits or boiled vegetables as much as possible. What we eat - shows on our face. Good skin is not always achieved in a salon, but also in your kitchen. A diet that is low on sugar and fat and rich in vitamin A, C and iron is recommended.

8.Cleaning

Avoid using harsh or medicinal soaps and opt for mild and natural formulations. Homemade and handmade natural soap is your best bet. As our skin ages, the products we use on them should be as milky and chemical-free as possible. The pH of our skin is around 5 and it is important to maintain this level. Read the product label, which can list a specific pH or say "pH balanced" or "pH neutral".

Use an astringent or toner twice a week to remove excess oil and grime from the surface of the skin. You can use pure rose water instead.

Apply an effective face scrub about twice a week to make the face appear blond and polished and free it from dead, dry and flaky skin.

6. Sun - spots and dark lips

While the sun is good for both your body and skin, over-exposure can cause skin to age faster and result in dark spots and pigmentation problems. I recommend a good sunscreen with SPF of 50 or higher. Try and opt for an oil-free build, so when used it does not feel sticky or oily.

Apply a freshly sliced lemon over the affected area, removing dark marks.

Before going to bed, use lip balm made of natural wax every night. Highly recommended if you have naturally dry or lip or smokers spots.

10. Lines and Wrinkles

Crow's feet or fine lines around the eyes can be treated using eye serum on a regular basis.

Using a heavy-duty cocoa butter-based face cream daily can reduce the lines of laughter or under our nose and under the lips. Products that promote or contain collagen and elastin are always a good choice.

Lines on the body, especially the fold areas and your back before going to bed, are best revealed by applying a rich body lotion. Choose a product that is light and non-greasy.

My choice of the five best anti aging grooming products:

1. Organic Skin Mask by Valley View Organic

Muskul made with organic leaves and herbs based on this soil does wonders for dull skin, making it appear both fresher and stronger.

2. Vitmin C Glow Sheet Mask by Body Shop

Enriched with Vitamin C, this peel-off mask nourishes and conditions the skin.

3. Gold Bounce by Body Shop

This holiday on the mask is vegetarian and is made with flowers and natural extracts. Works on your skin while sleeping.

4. 8 in 1 rejuvenation facial oil by Verdic Elexir Naurish Mantra

This ultra-rich face oil is rich in cannabis seed oil and adds moisture and hydration to dry and lifeless skin.

5. Homemade Serum for Healthy Hair by Nina

This all natural blend of essential oils with black seed oil as a major ingredient is extremely effective for nourishing and conditioning the hair.

FullTest08

This is the most stable that the FullTest setup has been so posting for posterity. Everything reads well and is responsive.

Known issues are:

Flakiness in first couple of positions of rotary switch, probably hardware issue as other positions work

Pot is jittery, wiring issue I think

Linear pot is jittery near the centre, not all the time

26 Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits

1. Mix up a non-toxic, all-purpose cleaner.

Step aside, cleaning sprays, solutions, and wipes. There’s a new disinfectant in town. Actually, we kid, seeing as apple cider vinegar isn’t new at all. That said, if you haven’t tried using this common kitchen ingredient to help keep your home sparkling and clean, you’re missing out on a non-toxic, odor-absorbing, antibacterial alternative to harsh chemicals. Just mix one part apple cider vinegar with one part water, filter that into a spray bottle, and get to work. 2. Stamp out the stink in any room. Stinky rooms don’t stand a chance against apple cider vinegar, which can take on all manner of smells from smoky cooking to funky bathrooms. To knock out smoky smells in particular, pour the apple cider vinegar into a shallow bowl and place it where the odor is strongest. Leave it out for as long as it takes for the smell to vanish.

3. Make your garden grow—without a single weed. If your green thumb is lacking a little luster, you may want to enlist the aid of apple cider vinegar. It can be used as fertilizer (particularly on plants that love acids, like blueberry bushes and azaleas) and also as a weed killer. Pour it directly on weed-infested areas to stop the garden gremlins in their damaging tracks, and mix 10 ounces of apple cider vinegar (with a five percent acidity) with 10 gallons of water to fertilize soil. Pesticides need not apply.

4. Keep pets flea-free. When you need to keep fleas away from your furry friends, turn to apple cider vinegar for the solution. Dilute it with water (one part of each) and rub the mixture into their fur and work it into their skin to repel those pesky pests. (Do be sure to check with your vet to make sure it’s safe for your pal.)

5. Do away with dandruff. Stop being so flaky, already! With apple cider vinegar, it’s possible. Rinsing your strands with the stuff can actually nix dandruff by changing the pH of your scalp (which halts yeast growth, one of the main dandruff culprits). Plus, it gets rid of greasiness, itchiness, and irritation. Try combining a tablespoon or two in a glass of water and rinsing your hair with the mixture while you’re in the shower. To really target dandruff, combine a quarter-cup apple cider vinegar with a quarter-cup water, pour it into a spray bottle, apply the mixture to your scalp, and leave it on for up to an hour before rinsing.

6. Improve your complexion. Fact: Perfect skin is always in. But that can be a bummer if you’re fighting acne. Take heart, there are plenty of weapons in your battle for clear pores. Though there’s doubt as to whether ACV is a dependable acne-fighter, it may at least kill the bacteria on the surface of your skin. Use it as an astringent (just dilute it and apply it to your face), or use it as a spot treatment to target blemishes. Holistic health experts also suggest taking it orally as well as adding it to an Epsom salt bath to help draw toxins and impurities out of your skin.

7. Swap out your deodorant. Just as it can freshen up your bathroom, apple cider vinegar can also help keep B.O. at bay. Simply swipe some of it in your underarm area to fight odor-causing bacteria. And don’t worry: The vinegar smell evaporates, so you won’t go around smelling like a salad.

8. Get rid of warts. Though we wish they were exclusive to wicked witches, warts can happen to anyone. When they rear their ugly heads, try using apple cider vinegar to kick this curse. Your plan of action: Douse a cotton ball in the vinegar and secure it to the affected area overnight.

9. Relieve burnt skin. Between the stinging, peeling, and red-hot skin, there are few things worse than a really bad sunburn. Apple cider vinegar, to the rescue! Add about a cup of the good stuff to your bath water to help soothe the burn.

10. Fade ugly bruises. Whether their arrival is a mystery (as in, where the heck did that come from?) or really strongly announced (ouch—that’ll leave a mark!), bruises hit us hard, and once they do, they linger. The solution? Fade the purplish-bluish hues by smoothing on some apple cider vinegar—its anti-inflammatory properties help minimize the painful-looking tint.

11. Whiten your teeth. In case your pearly whites need a little brightening boost, turn to apple cider vinegar for the sparkling solution. As it turns out, working it into your teeth and then rinsing may lead to a whiter grin. You can also try using it as a mouthwash—dentists suggest combining two parts water to one part ACV and swishing it around for about a minute.

12. Banish bad breath. Easily one of the most embarrassing commonplace hygiene issues, dragon breath can be slayed with apple cider vinegar. How? It’s thought to kill the bacteria that cause odor—just gargle with it or sip a teaspoon to reap the fresh-breath benefits.

13. Deodorize your feet. Just as it can help battle body odor, apple cider vinegar can also keep stinky feet under control, and it’s all thanks to its ability to balance the pH of your skin. By doing so, it works against the bacteria that are responsible for that less-than-pleasant foot odor. Splash some ACV onto a paper towel or baby wipes and wipe those toes down.

14. Treat your skin after shaving. Give your shaved skin a little TLC with ACV. Diluted with water (you’ll want to do one part apple cider vinegar and one part water), this solution can help soothe your skin. And remember: the smell of this natural aftershave will dissipate with a little time!

15. Mix up condiments (vinaigrettes, sauces, and marinades). Probably most of us first meet apple cider vinegar in its condiment form. And with good reason: It’s an excellent ingredient to liven up vinaigrettes, sauces, and marinades. It pairs perfectly with apricots, can flavor kale chips, and more!

16. Make your own tasty juice. While drinking apple cider vinegar in general is linked to a slew of health benefits, you can also create your own concoctions to sip on. After all, why swallow it solo when you can pair it with much more palatable ingredients, like grape juice, honey, or grapefruit juice?

17. Add a punch of flavor to soups. Why should salads get all the love? Apple cider vinegar can also add just the right punch of flavor to soups. Try adding it in a veggie soup, like this root vegetable one.

18. Boost your baking game. Yes, way! We wouldn’t have guessed that apple cider vinegar would be a welcome addition to baked goods, but, as it turns out, vinegar in general can help give batters a little lift. And because its mild flavor is undetectable (and may even enhance the flavor of other ingredients) in sweets, it’s an especially good option for those homemade treats.

19. Soothe an upset stomach. When your stomach is feeling less than stellar (i.e. you’re constipated, have food poisoning, are bloated, etc.), drinking an apple cider vinegar and water mixture may help set it straight, thanks to the antibacterial and antiviral properties found in ACV.

20. Help relieve muscle soreness. Every workout warrior needs some seriously relief from achy muscles. Some suggest that acetic acid, a component in apple cider vinegar, can soothe sore muscles when applied topically. While science doesn’t necessarily back this up, we’d say it’s definitely worth using this over regular lotion (or Tiger Balm!) when our muscles are screaming for a rubdown.

21. Stop the itch, stat. Whether your scratching is due to a bug bite, poison ivy, or even jellyfish stings, apple cider vinegar can help with these painful and uncomfortable side effects. Just apply the solution directly to your itchy area. 22. Help prevent diabetes. As of 2012, 29.1 million Americans had diabetes. Considering the gravity of those numbers, every little bit of prevention helps, and ingesting apple cider vinegar might be another small step to keep from joining that statistic. Research suggests sipping ACV helps improve insulin sensitivity (particularly in those who are insulin-resistant), which, in turn, may delay or prevent type 2 diabetes.

23. Soothe a sore throat. Throat killing you—or giving signs that it will within a few days? Don’t worry, you’ve got an all-natural germ-fighter in your corner: apple cider vinegar. Mix a quarter cup of ACV with the same amount of warm water and get your gargle on. Doing so creates an acidic environment that may stop the icky cold-causing germs from thriving in your throat. Another mixture to try: warm water, ACV, cayenne pepper, and honey. Drink that one up!

24. Clear your sinuses. There are few things more infuriating (and exhausting) than a stuffed-up nose. Clear your sinuses—and get ready to breathe easier—by sipping on a home remedy of water and ACV. Just as it helps fight sore throat-causing germs, it may also stop bacteria from growing in your sinuses. Plus, its potassium content could help thin all that lovely mucus that’s made itself at home in your nose.

25. Detox, detox, detox. While we’re wary of detox diets (we prefer these real foods that have the same effect), adding in a splash or two of apple cider vinegar to your meals may improve lymph circulation (which can help build immunity and fight disease).

26. Feel more energized. Ditch those bottled energy drinks! (You know they’re really not good for you.) If you’re hitting a slump, try mixing up a natural booster—one that includes apple cider vinegar, which contains potassium and enzymes. Those health boosters may help rocket you into a higher gear. Try simply mixing it together with water (2 teaspoons ACV per 2 cups of water), and add some honey if you want a little hint of sweetness.

Many indie horror games, just ask, and I might know it! I might write a little for BBC’s Sherlock, but I haven’t interacted with the fandom in some time and haven’t watched the show in a few years now.

Out of the ones I write for, the ones I am most likely to write are DSMP, TFTSMP, BNHA, FNAF, Egos, and HTF.

I adore that show and it’s characters (thanks FNF mods for making me aware of it’s existence) and it is one of my current fixations.

I’m most used to writing headcanons, as it’s how I write things for myself.

I also have a UT AU rewrite project ongoing, my VampireVerse Rewrite! If you’re a fan of the UTMV, vampires, mysteries, or a combination of any of the above, check it out and give it some love!
