lemme start with the ingredients to avoid in any product you use ranging from your bathing soap,your cream,your roll on,your powder and for the ladies;everything in your make-up set be it your lipstick,eyeliner,foundation,etc...it's important to avoid the things i'll state below as they are not meant for the human body but greedy manufacturers who know the implication on these things still put them in their products..please don't go buying stuffs without checking its contents and remember..wear only what you can eat..if you can't eat them,don't put them on

Are you having problems with your hair??
are you suffering from severe hair breakage??
don't think cutting your hair and starting again is the best option..it isn't..cos there's always a solution to every problem
use the tips below to regain your lost hair glory
#trim your hair occasionally..not too much though..triming your hair prevents the organisms causing hair breakage to get to the root of the hair as they always start at the tip..so trim your hair today
#use hair care products containing sodium lauryl sulphate
#moisturise your hair regularly as this help your hair stay healthy
#let your loose..don't always tie your hair up as this leads to hair breakage..let it loose once in a while
#minimise heat..don't always use a blow dryer or any form of heat to dry or smoothen your hair..let your hair air dry once in a while..heat kills the cells of your hair thus enhancing hair loss
#eat lots of fruit..the food you eat actually affects your hair growth
#drink lots of water..a healthy body system makes for a healthy hair growth
#apply oil only twice a week..too much oil is not healthy for your hair
#wash at leat twice a week..a clean hair is a fast growing..dirt causes hair breakage..this applies only to when your hair is not braided though..
#use herbal shampoo..this enriches your hair
#wear cap..cap protects the hair from damage from the sun as sun leads to hair breakage

#If you want to go further,make this paste and apply to your hair
Ingredients you'll need::
avocado pear
olive oil
honey
shower cap
..mix all the ingredients in a bowl and apply a generous amount to your hair
cover with the shower cap and leave for about an hour and rinse
do it repeatedly for a more effective result

hope i helped

DARK UNDERARMS AND DARK PUBIC REGION?..yes..don't be shy about it..we're blacks and this is unfortunately common with us..dark underarms are actually an unpleasant sight especially with light-skinned blacks (nigerians,afro-americans,etc)..
we tend to get black underarms mostly because of the common mistakes we make..for example..we blacks tend to shave our underarms and pubic region..when this happens..we don't remove the hairs from the roots and the hair left tends to cause darkening..waxing is therefore the best option
the use of deodorants also darkens our underarms because of the ingredients used in making them and the ONLY acceptable deodorant according to my research is the D0VE deodorant because it is void of those darkening ingredients..it is however more advisable to go natural..i.e..make your own deodorant..this is not so difficult..you will find attached the ingredients and methods of making your very own wax and deodorant below..
if you already have dark underarms..here are ways to get rid of them

If you are a foreigner in Germany,or traveling to Germany there are a certain number of things you must do, one of them is to choose travel health insurance. If anyone wants to stay in Germany for study, job or anything else, they must get information about social insurance rules between citizens and Germany. Germany has some convention with other countries.In case you are lucky to find that your country has such a convention with Germany, then it is possible to use the current insurance you are using in your home country.You can find all information and helps about health insurance in Germany just visit http://www.covomo.com
If you are traveling to Germany this site will be pretty much helpful.
