WebmastersHow To Perform A Technical SEO Audit On Your Website by crankie(op): 3:11pm On Mar 25, 2019
What is an SEO AUDIT? The term audit is the act of taking stock, making an assessment and giving thorough inspection to processes. When we marry the word audit with search engine optimization (SEO), this becomes a standard procedure carried out on a company’s website to determine its performance across search engines. Basically, it tells you how your site ranks on search engine results pages (SERPs) and gives insights on how best to improve on the website’s SEO efforts. A technical SEO audit is a marketing effort carried out with the aid of SEO site audit tools to see how well a site is ranking on search engines, the relevance of keywords being used on the site, review links and general site analytics.

FoodMAMBA ENERGY DRINK Officially Launched Into Nigeria, Eyes Market Leadership by crankie(op): 7:42pm On Jul 25, 2018
Nigeria’s fastest growing energy drink, Mamba, has officially been launched into the Nigeria energy drinks market. The launch comes about two years after the premium energy drink brand was first introduced to the Nigerian consumers.

The official unveiling of MAMBA ENERGY DRINK, which took place on Tuesday June 20, 2018, was done amidst pomp and fanfare, as it signaled the commencement of a series of marketing and promotional activities to aggressively position the brand as a leading energy drink in Nigeria in the next one year.

According to Ms. Titilola Adedeji, General Manager of MAMBA Drinks Limited, makers of the product, MAMBA ENERGY DRINK is unlike any of its competitors, as it has been carefully and expertly formulated exclusively for the Nigerian and African consumers. She also hinted that Mamba is configured to align with the lifestyle choice of health-conscious consumers, because it is taurine content.

In her words, “MAMBA ENERGY DRINK is more than just the typical energy drink. It contains Citric Acid, an oxidant which enhances skin tissue regeneration, smoothness and perfection. It is also healthy due to reduced caffeine and taurine content with increased Vitamin B.”

Hinting on the competition in the marketplace, Adedeji said “we want to be very strategic and creative in our brand management approach such that establishing our brand’s identity in both the conscious and the subconscious of the average Nigerian energy drink consumers will be easy to achieve”.

Speaking further about the unique selling points of MAMBA ENERGY DRINK, Ms. Adedeji stressed that the energy drink is a high-quality product that leaves a lasting impression on consumer’s palate because of its unique and distinctive taste. She added that Mamba connects with the key emotion points of consumers as it connotes power, elegance, formality, strength and authority.

Also present at the launch was the Managing Director/CEO of MAMBA Drinks Limited, Mr. Ayo Ojuroye, who explained that Mamba was the first energy drink formulated exclusively for the African consumer. He also explained that the official launch of the brand was delayed because of the need to test the market and lay a solid foundation for sustainability of the product.

“We wanted to be sure that this is a product that is going to have sustainability, because there have been a lot of players that have come in and gone. We believe this is the right time to officially launch the product” he said.

At the moment, MAMBA ENERGY DRINK is exclusively available in the Lagos market, but the Head of Sales, Mrs Temitope Adetiba said they plan to expand to other states, creating great opportunities for distributorship in the drinks industry as it expands its reach across Nigeria, and eventually export the product to other African markets as soon as it is firmly rooted in Nigeria. This is an opportunity for businesses in the drinks industry to grow with a rising star in Africa.

FoodOnline Grocery Shopping For Bachelors by crankie(op):
As a bachelor that works 8 hours a day, it might be difficult to feed yourself every day because of your working hours and getting home you might be very tired. I know some of us guys just get home and go to bed, while others just eat anything we see. First of all, this system is very bad for our health and it would definitely lead into a breakdown and you might not be able to work as well as you would normally do.

So the best trick for you is the easiest, go for easy meals, ready-made meals, things you can whip up in few minutes. The only problem with these easy meals is that they have a lot of calories and too much of it in your body would also be unhealthy but a simple solution is to mix it up with a healthy diet.

The secret to having all you need to eat for the week is by buying everything you need and cooking it during the weekend when you are free. You might think, cooking and buying grocery might take all your time during the weekend but it would not take long especially if you order online and get it same day, all that’s left would be cooking.

Here is a list of easy to whip up food mixed with a healthy diet for a working bachelor.

Beans and Rice: Boil a bunch of beans and rice separately and together if you like, so all you have to do is heat up at night then eat.
Bread/Buns: Buy wheat bread maybe two or three as much as you can eat, freeze it up at home , then put out a few minutes before you are ready to eat, so it would come back to a normal and consumable temperature before you eat. You can also toast or heat it up for a few seconds if you cannot wait.
Canned Soup: There are varieties of canned soup out there, chicken soup, shrimp and so on, what you get depends on your taste. The purpose of canned soup is for easy cooking, all you need to do is open it and pour in a bowl then microwave or heat it up however you like. You can use it to eat whatever you like, rice, bread, pasta and so on. You can even get creative with it, maybe try with eba or whatever comes to mind.
Pasta/Spaghetti: All you have to do with pasta is boil enough during the weekend, keep it in the freezer and microwave the portion you want to eat during the week when you get back from work. The trick with pasta is you have to boil just the pasta, don’t mix with anything only mix with whatever you want when you are ready to eat.
Frozen Foods: You need to get a lot of frozen foods and keep in your freezer, frozen foods like, frozen pizza, chicken, fish and so on. If you have a lot of frozen foods at home, it would be easy for you to think of something to whip up. For example, you only need to heat up a frozen pizza to eat it and chicken and beef would be needed for days that you need to add protein to your diet.
Vegetables: You also need to cook a variety of vegetables like efo riro and make sure to eat at least twice or once a week, this would help you flush your system and keep you healthy.
Fruits and Salads: You might not like this idea but with all the canned soups, pasta and frozen foods you would be taking, you need at least a bowl of salad or a bowl of fruits in a day to balance your diet and keep you healthy.
Water: As a bachelor, it is easy for you to forget to store your house with drinking water and store it with alcohol. Instead, always try to mix them up and water should be more than alcohol for healthy living. Also drinking a lot of water also helps to let go easily in the toilet, if you know what I mean.

This list is not perfect and it might not be cheap at the beginning or by the looks of it but it helps you save more because most times when you don’t have food at home you end up buying outside which becomes expensive if you do it often plus this system keeps you from sleeping on an empty stomach and it keeps you healthy.
FamilyAmazing Wedding Gifts You Can Give The Just Married by crankie(op):
There is a universal belief that the best item to give a married couple is cash. This is especially true because of all the spending that goes into planning a wedding. But hey, who says other gifts won’t be appreciated?

We know some couples would claim they got loads of wedding gifts and may not really need any of your planned gifts. Well, we believe them (but just a tiny weeny bit). Even though everyone knows these home items don’t last forever, having two or more of them won’t hurt, would it? Yes, it could feel like junk when you have to find a store for them in your home, but they definitely have their uses.

For example, my mother has a storage room for gifts she receives from weddings, naming ceremonies, parties, and everything in between. I noticed something- we don’t get to buy some of these items because if for instance, one of our pots wears out, she goes into the store and wala – a new one is out!

Here’s the point - giving a wedding gift should be thoughtful. Be mindful of the fact that every couple wants to grow old together and you could help them create lasting memories. You know all the lovely times spent cooking for their kids or watching old movies together? We bet you’d want to be a big reason for those memories.

On that note, here are a few items we’re sure your newly wedded relatives or friends would love:

Pot sets: They are great for the just married because these things are meant to be used for a long, long time.

Vase: This would come in handy for beautiful interior decorations.

Baby Items: Baby items are so perfect for expectant brides. So, think about what a cooing baby would need. Here are some ideas – baby diapers, wipes, clothes, shoes, cot, delivery pack and so on.

Cash: Undecided on what to give or thinking your gift may be too small? Then simply just give cash and it will surely be appreciated. Weddings are money drainers and every cash gift will feel Santa’s.

So you get the drift - no gift is too small. The thought is actually what counts plus its usefulness, of course.

Other items to consider are Blenders, Electric Kettles, and Rice Cookers.
FoodYour Impromptu Get-together Grocery Shopping by crankie(op):
Planning an impromptu party or get together can be a bit tasking because while you rush to get everything settled, you end up forgetting somethings and missing the most important point. Planning a party is not about entertainment and fun alone, while those things make it successful, the most important piece of a party is ‘food and drinks’. You can not plan a party without having those two in abundance and you need a variety, different types of snacks and biscuits to fill the guests up.

Since it is just a get together, maybe a living room party so you could organize games and play music from a speaker but the problem of what to eat still stands. You can’t have fun on an empty stomach and if you think about it, people love a host that can provide food, seriously we are all FFOs (For Food Only). So if you want to be the best host amongst your friends, you need to follow this list.

Impromptu Grocery List

Wine, Beer, Juice, Can drinks, 100cl drinks & Water: There is no party without alcohol but you should also get non-alcoholic drinks, you might have guests who don’t drink alcohol and some might need to mix it up.

Take away packs, Beer cups, Disposable plates and cutlery: A get-together with a lot of tipsy people doesn’t need ceramic plates; all you need are things that are unbreakable because people become restless with excitement and you don’t want to clean up every time someone stands up.

Ice cream and chocolates: A big bowl of ice cream will do, depending on the amount of people you invite and a pack or two packs of celebrations or whatever chocolate you find is okay, as long as they are small and plenty in a pack, the more the merrier.

Frozen food: You could fix something up with chicken wings or minced meat just be creative, a get together doesn’t need party jollof or Nigerian Jollof as we call it, you just need to feed your friends nothing much, it is not a wedding.

Ready-made meals: If you are too tired to make anything with frozen foods, there are packs of ready-made meals you can just heat up, like samosa, spring rolls, chicken nuggets and so on.

Chops: Chops like cookies, chin-chin, peanut, popcorn, plantain and potato chips, cheese balls, pringles and so on makes it look like you have a lot of food to offer your guests and you don’t want your friends to run out of things to eat. You need something that gives your guests something to munch on while you chat and hangout.

Serviettes and Tooth picks: For cleaning spills and serving guests, you just need to lay it on every table people would find it wherever they are.

And that’s all you need, you don’t have to use everything on this list, you could trim it depending on your budget. This is a list to give you an idea of what and what you need, you don’t need to go all out, your budget is all that matters.
Romance7 Unique Things You Can Do On Valentine’s Day by crankie(op):
Valentine’s Day is a big deal, especially for most women and it is very important that you make it a very memorable occasion. With recession in the air, excessive spending may be a sort of bother but really, you shouldn’t have to sell a limb to create something extravagantly elaborate before you can make her feel special.

Check out some really cool date ideas for your heartbeat below and choose the one that fits your style towards making that day special.

Go on a date
It doesn’t have to be a flashy, expensive date at Sheraton Hotels. It might very well be an outing at a local buka near you. Just make sure it's romantic enough to be special.

Jogging and exercising
You and bae can actually spend Valentine’s Day burning out calories incurred over the past few months. This can improve the health of the body as well as strengthen the bond between you two. Just be sure to choose a quiet and peaceful location for the light exercise.

Karaoke Night
This gives the opportunity to find out who sings better between you and your better half. Bragging rights will be put to test here. There are several karaoke bars within the metropolis where lovebirds can sing-along and perform beautiful duets.

Day at the Spa
Getting a spa treatment is an exciting experience you won’t want to pass up on. Couples can book full body massages at a trusted spa and get the ultimate pampering experience perfect for Val.

Hotel stay
Spending the night away from home can raise the excitement in your love life. Doing something as simple as booking a hotel room is sure to be a nice change of setting for you and your lover. It ensures that both of you stay relaxed without haggling over who does the dishes or prepares dinner. Lovebirds will get to focus mainly on each other when hobbled together in a new, adventurous environment.

Go on a Getaway Trip
If you are boxed up enough, you and bae can extend your Val into a Valentine’s weekend getaway trip to a romantic resort or trip to a popular tourists’ destination. Just ensure you give bae the option of choosing from two or three available destinations so she can select and also create time to be present for the short voyage.

Take Her Shopping
Nothing would excite bae better than when boo asks her whether she’d like to go shopping with him. So if you can afford it, don’t hold back. Take her to the mall and let her select the best items she wants. If going shopping will take a big chunk out of your time, you both can visit Supermart and make the shopping as convenient as possible online.
Romance5 Items You Should Get For Your Loved Ones This Valentine’s Day by crankie(op):
So the love season is in the air again and one of the most difficult things that can happen to you is getting to choose which gift to buy for your loved one or your stalker.

Cards
It might be old-fashioned as a medium of expressing l'amour but cards are still perfect as they tell your loved ones that they are remembered on that special day. It is also an economical approach to showing love without spending a fortune as you probably still have to save money for their birthday and other occasions. To make it even extra special, try making the card yourself. A self-made card is one of the most effective keys to unlocking her heart.

Body Care Items
Getting items such as bath soaps, scented lotions, shampoos and relaxers etc, will leave a lasting imprint in the heart of your lover as this sole act shows you believe she is beautiful and as such she deserves to maintain that beauty by pampering herself.

Perfumes
Now don’t get me wrong. Buying your lover a perfume doesn’t necessarily mean they have body odour. On the contrary, it means you love them so much that you want them to smell at their best all the time. It also means they get to think about you each time they make use of the fragrance. Supermart has a large collection of perfume gift items you can select from.

Shaving items
You can use this Valentine’s Day to help your lover keep things under control by getting them to shave regularly. Whether they are looking to shave it off or trim it down, giving them a shaving stick or shaving powder will pass the message across to them that you love it when they look neat and smart.

Ice Cream and Chocolate Snacks
Snacks like ice cream and chocolate bars are excellent as Val’s gifts particularly when you have got a crush you have been making subtle moves at. Presenting some mouthwatering vanilla ice cream might just be the secret weapon to turn your bestie into your gal!

Looking for where to buy Valentine gift items? Visit Supermart and make the shopping as convenient as possible online.
FoodYour Weight Loss Grocery Shopping List by crankie(op):
Losing your weight is not an easy task but it doesn’t mean you should stop eating what you love or starve yourself. You just need to compromise a little, for example if you normally eat Titus fish switch to tuna fish, if you normally use groundnut oil switch to coconut oil. However that’s not all, you still need to exercise and remind yourself it won’t happen in a day. It is a gradual process, a step at a time and you need determination to pull through. But am not here to give you a motivational speech, just to tell you the types of foods that would help you reach your weight loss goal, with little trouble. So here are 10 food items that help to reduce fat intake and how they do it.

1. Apple Cider Vinegar
ACV is the holy grail of health. It works for almost anything that has to do with the good of the human body. Taking ACV while eating a high-carb meal can increase feelings of fullness and make you eat less and consume few calories.
ACV also reduces blood sugar spikes after meals, which may lead to all sorts of beneficial effects on health in the long term.

2. Chicken Breast
Chicken Breast has the lowest amount of fat in a chicken. There times when you crave things like chicken, when that time comes for someone who wants to lose some weight, eating chicken breast is the only way to go because it has little calories.

3. Beans
Beans tend to be high in protein and fiber, which are two nutrients that have been shown to make you full without eating much of it. They also tend to contain some resistant starch, which helps you shed consumed fat.

4. Boiled Potatoes
Boiled potatoes are perfect for both weight loss and health. If you boil the potatoes, then allow it to cool off for a while, it becomes a large amount of resistant starch, which helps you lose weight. Sweet potatoes, yam and other root vegetables are also excellent for weight loss.

5. Tuna
Tuna is a low-calorie fish with high protein. Because tuna is a lean fish it has little fat in it. Tuna is a great way to keep protein high, with total calories and reduce fat.

6. Avocados
Avocados mostly contain fat but it is what you may classify as healthy fat because it also contains a lot of water, which gives it low energy density, making you crave fewer calories, hence reducing your weight. They are also full of many important nutrients, like fiber and potassium.

7. Soups
Meals with low energy density tend to make people eat fewer calories. Most foods with a low energy density contain lots of water. Some of those foods are vegetables and fruits.

8. Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese, the Yoruba name is Wara, it is an extract of cow milk, boiled cow milk to be precise. It is mostly protein with very little carbohydrate and fat. Eating plenty of cottage cheese is a great way to boost your protein intake. It makes you feel full and you eat less with enough intake of cottage cheese.

9. Chili Pepper
Eating chili pepper ‘may’ be useful on a weight loss diet. If you are not a regular chili peppers fan because you would have built an immune defense against the effects of chili pepper. The trick behind chili pepper weight loos, is that, when you eat enough chili pepper during a meal, you tend to take more water, which makes you full instantly and this would reduce your intake of that particular meal but for someone who is used to peppery food, it has little effect.

10. Coconut Oil
Coconut Oil contains a fair amount of fat but not all fats are equal, so it is better to use coconut oil for all you normally use groundnut oil for. If you really want to lose weight, try using coconut oil rather than groundnut oil because it contains little fat compared to groundnut oil.
HealthDeodorant Or Body Spray: What’s Your Fume? by crankie(op):
Odour is formed when perspiration occurs as it is mixed with a combination of bacteria in the air and those on our bodies. Regardless of how smart-looking or neatly dressed you are, no one would want to relate closely with you if you stink or give off an unpleasant odour. While showering regularly can keep bad odour relegated, the inevitable event of perspiration means you can’t bathe every time you sweat. This is where perfumes pull their weight. They help hide the odour while ensuring the body smells clean and fresh all day long. There are different types of perfumes with each having their specific features and key selling points. This post will examine the features and differences between deodorants and body sprays.

Deodorants

Produced mainly to hide or get rid of unwanted odour, deodorants are ideal for people with very obvious body odours. What it does is to stunt and terminate odour-producing bacteria from unleashing their stenches of terror. They usually contain antiperspirants which prevent sweating as a move to stalling circulation of odours. Deodorants may or may not be scented. In fact, most of the time, the scent found in deodorants have been tailored to just give off a fragrance as a light cover rather than to project it for others to smell.

Body Sprays

Body sprays, on the other hand, have been created to make you smell nice. They do not contain antiperspirants but have fragrance. If you sweat a lot, then you’d be better off avoiding body sprays. They are usually heavily fragranced but their lack of antiperspirant properties means you might not get protected from odours whenever you begin to sweat.

In a bid to satisfy the needs of customers, popular perfume companies have devised a means of combining properties from both deodorants and body sprays. So it is not uncommon to have antiperspirant body sprays or heavily scented deodorants either. Supermart has a wide collection of premium body sprays, deodorants and other perfumes that will meet your fragrance-craving needs.
HealthMajor Benefits Of Energy Drinks by crankie(op): 12:46pm On Jan 30, 2017
In spite of the ugly sticks energy drinks receive from critics, they actually do have a lot of advantages when consumed moderately and it shows exactly why millions of people will keep coming back for more of it. While exercising is great for keeping the body in top shape, energy drinks are quite useful as an elixir for giving you that extra boost during a rigorous session. They can also be used to give you additional energy while hitting the dance floor at clubs and parties. Aside from supplying the body with copious energy, some more perks of energy drink consumption also include the following below:

Instant Caffeine Delivery
One major benefit of energy drink is that you get to drink it instantly without the need for preparations that coffee requires. This means you get more time on your hands to engage in several of your favourite activities. Since energy drinks are served cold, you can consume them swiftly without having to worry about boiling water or sipping slowly. In fact, research has shown that caffeine gets into the bloodstream much faster when consumed quickly.

Extra Vitamins
Although the best energy drinks are filled with caffeine, they usually contain other interesting energy ingredients including ginseng, B-Vitamins, taurine as well as glucuronolactone. These ingredients all work to enhance the effect of energy supply to the body.

Flavour Variety
Coffee is great; however, the taste is a major turn off for a large number of people. This is another important advantage of energy drinks. It is beneficial for folks who prefer a caffeine surge without that notorious coffee taste. Coming in a list of attractive variants, energy drinks are best for lovers of sweet taste.

Zero Calories or Nothing
Because of the fact that more and more people are becoming self-aware of their health and what they consume, the production of zero calorie energy drinks is of immense benefit to weight and health-watchers. Black coffee has zero calories quite alright but hardly will you see it ever consumed on its own without the need to add flavour enhancers like sugar, cream or milk.

Convenience and Refreshing
Another major benefit of energy drinks rests on the fact that it is highly convenient and refreshing because it is served cold and carbonated. Athletes and exercisers have discovered that they recover faster from workouts after a cold, light beverage of energy drink instead of a hot, milky drink.

The fact that energy drinks are more appealing to the general public cannot be readily overemphasized. Instant energy, great flavour and exceptional refreshments are qualities only beverages like Mamba Energy Drink will offer you. Why not grab a can today?

FoodHow To Choose An Energy Drink by crankie(op): 12:24pm On Jan 30, 2017
We all know the concept of choice can be a pain in the behind and getting the right options that will suit your taste can be sometimes dicey. These days we have so much energy drinks in Nigeria that it’s almost impossible to pick a firm favourite. Ponder no more, as this post will explicitly reveal the points to put into consideration when choosing an energy drink.

Less Sugar, Great Taste

Let’s face it; you wouldn’t want to eat your preferred soup while bereft of assorted accompaniments like beef, fish or even ponmo. Same way you won’t want to compromise that wonderfully sweet tasting energy drink for the low sugar one. Sugar is present in a very large percentage of popular beverages, neatly packaged to look seemingly harmless like fruit juices. But medically speaking, we really have to shoot for the lesser evil by going for low sugar drinks and fortunately, newer options of energy drinks contain fairly low amounts of sugar while having the same great taste.

HealthThis Is What Happens To Your Body When You Drink Water by crankie(op):
That heavenly feeling after gulping a bottle of cool water right after a light interval of thirst is one of the most satisfying and relieving experiences ever. But how much do you know about what happens to your body after taking those mouthfuls of H2O? This post will enlighten you on what your body goes through from the moment it runs dry till you take a few cups and regulate your hydration levels to satisfaction.

Thirst stimulation
When you take a swig of water after a period of thirst, that refreshing feeling you experience is triggered by what is known as the anticipatory reflex. Using the tastes buds and gut, the anticipatory reflex notes and records how much water is swallowed just enough to make you feel satisfied. Once sated, you will feel the need to stop drinking at a certain point if not you might run the risk of over-rehydrating and subsequently flooding your body.

Improvement of Cognitive Processes
According to a series of research about how the brain reacts when its deprived of water, it was discovered that dehydration or a lack of enough water in the body causes short-term memory damage, working memory impairment as well as regressive visual motor skills. When water is channelled into the body, the brain’s functions and processes is improved rapidly with a particularly sharp upgrade in short-term memory.

Gingers the Kidneys
The kidneys are responsible for filtering liquid from the body, however, they need more than enough water to function properly and expunge unnecessary toxins from the body. When dehydration sets in, the risk of developing kidney stones and other nasty diseases increases. Although the kidney tries to save water by concentrating the colour of urine to a pale yellowy hue, a lack of water means the bean-shaped twins will find it difficult to properly filter out unneeded wastes from the body. This makes it very important to drink a lot of water. Usually, eight glasses of water in a day is the required minimum amount for the kidneys to fully function well.

Contributes to Weight Loss
Whenever you drink water without food, it fills the tummy and keeps you energized and satisfied. This means you don’t necessarily have to eat meal after meal at the slightest tease of hunger and it keeps your calorie levels low as well so your body gets to accumulate much less fat.

Thirsty? Why not order a few bottles of water from Supermart today?

Food7 Food Items That Can Help You Moisturize Your Natural Hair by crankie(op):
Natural Hair is in Vogue! A lot of ladies out there are taking a leap of faith to join the natural hair gang and you can be one of them.

Are you worried about the stress of taking care of natural hair or about how expensive the products might be? You can set your mind at peace and join the amazing trend because Supermart can give you cheap and fast ways to solve your natural hair problems in the kitchen.

This is what we call “the magic of nature” because with the right food item you can do anything.

Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is rich in iron, potassium and fat. It is the best natural hair growth solution anyone can think of. All you have to do is to get a fresh coconut, and extract the milk (keep in mind that a buying coconut milk and extracting it have very different result, it is always better to do it yourself.) After extracting the milk, add half a squeeze of lemon. Mix it together and apply on your scalp. Leave it on your scalp for 4-5 hours and then rinse it off.

Egg mask: Eggs contain high levels of proteins which help in the growth of new hair. It is as useful as using a shampoo but better because it is a product of nature (lol). So if you want to make an egg mask for your natural hair, simply separate one egg white in a bowl and add one teaspoon of olive and honey. Make a paste and apply it all over your hair and scalp for about 20 minutes. Rinse it off with cool water and some shampoo just to get the smell of eggs off.

Green Tea: Green tea helps to boost hair growth and prevent hair loss. Green tea is rich in antioxidant which helps to grow your natural hair efficiently. Apply warm green tea from used tea bags to your scalp and leave it for an hour and wash it off with cool water after an hour.

Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple Cider Vinegar can be used for almost anything but for natural hair it cleanses the scalp and maintains balance of the hair making it grow very fast. Dilute your ACV solution by mixing 15 ml of it with two cups of warm water shake it well. Then use it as a final rinse after washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner. Making your hair shine brighter.

Olive oil: To moisturize and strengthen your natural hair, olive oil is the best food item to use. Pour half a cup of olive oil and heat for a few minutes; it is until warm enough not so hot that it burns your skin. Apply to damp hair and wrap with plastic cap. Leave this on for an hour, and then wash with shampoo.

Baking soda: Dilute your baking soda; take two Tbsp of baking soda to 3 cups of water. After washing your hair with shampoo, before conditioning, rinse with the diluted baking soda water.

Onion Juice: Onion juice contains sulphur which boosts production in the tissues and helps with the growth of hair. Cut or grate the onions and apply it on your scalp for 15 minutes. Then rinse it off with a mild shampoo.
