I remember there was a time when I didn't use to shampoo my hair daily and in those days suddenly if something was planned I failed to go or shampooing my hair at night. Because of my oily greasy hair. To avoid this so many time I thought about dry shampoo. But couldn't find. When I saw L'Oréal Professionnel launched dry shampoo in India I bought it immediately. And today I'm going to review it. L’Oréal Techni Art ‘Fresh Dust’ (Dry Shampoo)
What is Dry Shampoo-  Dry shampoo has become a popular alternative to regular shampoo in recent years. Dry shampoo comes in the form of powder or dry spray-on that you apply to the roots of your hair. It is not only soak up oil also clean hair, water-free, and leaves you smelling fresh.
Its a great solution for those who hasn't  the time to wash hair every day. Plus it gives volume to your hair. Now a days boys also showing interest on this type of products.

L’Oreal Professionnel Claims:Texturing dry shampoo create big airy volume and fresh texture with light style control. Instantly makes hair feel and smell fresh. Long lasting effect.

Packaging:150ml spray bottle comes in a light weight stark white can bottle with a spray nozzle.
Application: Spray directly onto roots, mid-lengths and ends. Brush your hair to distribute evenly. If possible blow dry very lightly.
Texture: The shampoo is in powdery form without any flaky texture. A little bit chalky. Have to brush hair very well otherwise looks like dandruff.

Tip: keep at least 6 inches distance between nozzle and scalp.
My Experience: I was very exited to apply this. So 1st time I applied on shampooed hair and I found little volume which stayed that night only. Next I applied it on my usual oily scalp. And surprisingly I was not satisfied with the result. I agree it instantly makes hair feel and smell fresh but doesn't stay for long. The moment I sprayed, it was good but just after 30 minutes it was same again. 1st I tried it normally then with blow dryer but still same and that time I just thought why did I buy it God!!!! Is it the L’Oreal Professionnel!!!!???? You have already guessed my final opinion. But I would say may be I experienced it coz my hair is too much oily,limp n straight and the humidity is very high where I live(very sweaty Kolkata).  From the person I took it told me it is good and he had used it on clients for styling. So I took it but unfortunately does not work on my oily scalp. Bad luck! The final result is same as when I sprinkled baby powder to get rid of greasy hair(for temporary solution). Hahaha... after spending 900 bucks!!!

Hello Everyone!!!
I was planning to do OOTD (Outfit Of The Day) for a long time but for some reasons I couldn't. The first thing is dealing with my old n non working digital camera and so on. Finally I changed the battery and it's working again. :-)
But today's pics were taken from my mobile.
Well it is not just an OOTD it is about my self-indulgent mind. Yes I am a self-centered person but I always try not to hurt anyone.
I bought this dress last year June. It was a birthday gift from Mr. Would Be. I love this suit and it is one of my favorites. I liked it at the first glimpse in a mannequin at South City Mall. I bought it from "Miss Unique" store at Southcity mall, Kolkata.(This brand is also available in Pantaloons)

But after some days during puja time when I visited esplanade I saw some replicas and those are priced at half or less. I found the same Pakistani pattern (round neck with both side plus bottom border n dotted prints) salwar here n there. I couldn't say even what I was thinking at that moment as I planned to wear it on puja. I always like to stay little unique I know it is not possible every time as I like to wear ready-made products. But that time I really felt bad. Even one of my friends bought it at Rs. 1600 (in white different design bt same pattern) (after bargaining) where I took it at Rs.4k. But I can see the huge difference in materials, Design works and fitting. And thank God I am 5'4" coz I don't think it brighten up the look in short height. (Less than 5'3" girls)
And honestly saying even if I didn't see the branded one still I didn't take those. (Opted for better) I'm not saying they were bad they were good at that price but not for me. During puja I was in my home town n there I didn't see Anyone wearing like mine... :-D
For me my "Miss Unique" suit is really unique and beautiful.
I think this is the 3rd time I'm wearing it after my b'day and puja.

my look

Picture quality is not good as were taken at night through mobile.
Stay tuned for more posts.

Loss of hair, or baldness, is the result of not having enough vitamin B supplements.  Vitamin B is very important, as it contains B3 niacin, which is very important for growing hair.  Vitamin B6 is another important vitamin, containing nutrients such as sulfur, biotin, magnesium, and zinc.  Without these vitamins, your body won’t be able to grow hair as much, which commonly results in balding or hair loss as we get older.

What many people fail to realize, is the importance of vitamin B.  Research has shown in the past that vitamin B is very important to hair growth.  Men who consume foods that are rich in vitamin B are less likely to experience hair loss.  Vitamin B is an essential vitamin, and also one that enriches the overall quality and thickness of hair. 

Vitamin A is also important with hair growth.  To get the proper amount of vitamin A, you should consume fatty acids.  Some examples include flaxseed oil, primrose, and salmon oil.  If you consume these types of fatty acids, you’ll get the right amount of vitamin A that is needed to enhance the growth of your hair.  If you are worried about hair loss, you should make sure that you are getting enough vitamin A and vitamin B.

Vitamin E is also important for hair growth, as it stimulates your intake of oxygen and helps to improve your blood circulation as well.  If your blood is circulating properly, then the growth of your hair will be enhanced.  The proper circulation of blood is very important with hair growth, as the blood is what helps your hair to grow, and the necessary vitamins to flow through your body.

Another necessary vitamin for hair growth is biotin.  You can find this essential source in rice, green peas, soybeans, oats, yeast, walnuts, and sunflower seeds.  It is also found with some types of shampoos as well.  If you are using shampoo that contains biotin, you’ll be getting into your root tips faster, which will help to promote the growth of your hair.  Even though you may be using shampoo that contains biotin, you’ll still need to take the necessary vitamins and supplements as well.

Before you take any vitamins or supplements, you should always consult with your doctor and get his opinion.  There may be some vitamins and supplements that you shouldn’t be taking, which is why you should always consult with your doctor before you make any decision.  Your doctor will be able to run tests and go through your history with you, letting you know what you can and can’t take.  This way, you can choose your vitamin supplements accordingly – and know without a doubt that there will be no long term side effects or problems.

Antioxidant supplements play a protective role for our general health including the health of our hair.  Antioxidants supplements are supposed to slow down the oxidation  reactions which are brought about by the free radicals. The Free radicals are highly reactive unstable atoms generated in our body that can damage cells leading to a number of diseases and ageing.According to the Free-radical theory of aging, these highly reactive oxygen species (ROS), damage the DNA, proteins and other cellular structures like the cell membranes and cell organelles.

The reaction of free radicals within cells, and subsequent damage has been linked to a range of disorders and chronic diseases including cancer, arthritis, atherosclerosis, alzheimer's and diabetes and inflammatory conditions Antioxidants are able to slow down or block these dangerous reactions in the body.  They do it either by reacting with intermediates and halting the oxidation reaction directly. They react with the free radicals and prevent the oxidation reaction from occurring. 

Antioxidants supplements can be taken as dietary supplements or taken as tablets and capsules. Studies suggest those dietary antioxidants supplements provide a range of are benefits for our health. However, excess antioxidant supplementation may be counter-productive. Diet carrying antioxidant supplements A healthy and balanced diet containing antioxidant supplements plays a pivotal role in retaining your hair’s health. Some of the herbal nutrition supplements and some fruits which contain antioxidants serve as natural medications for hair loss.

Antioxidant food supplements are found in various forms – vegetables, fruits, grain cereals, legumes, nuts, etc.
The sources of antioxidants include fruits (berries and peppers, apple skins, cider, wine), vegetables (spinach, tea leaves), fungi (mushrooms), whole grain cereals (hops, barley, millet and maize), nuts (pecans, pistachios, almonds), beans (cacao including chocolate, coffee). Polyphenol antioxidants This type of antioxidant is characterized by the presence of several phenol functions. It is found in a wide array of phytonutrient-bearing foods. Examples include - most of the legumes; fruits like apples, blackberries, cantaloupe, cherries, cranberries, grapes, pears, plums, raspberries, and strawberries; vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, celery, onion and parsley. All the above are rich sources of polyphenol antioxidants.Alternative sources of polyphenol antioxidant include red wine, chocolate, green tea, olive oil, bee pollen and several grains. Antioxidant vitaminsSome of the vitamins that are good sources of antioxidants,. the antioxidant vitamins are--vitamins A, C and E.

Vitamin A

The animal form of vitamin A is retinol. It is a yellow, fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin found in animal foods such as eggs, liver, whole milk and fortified foods like fat-reduced milk, cereals and breads. Vitamin A, are the dark-colored pigments found in plant foods like fruits and vegetables (especially dark green leafy ones) and include spinach, cantaloupe, carrots, sweet potatoes and squash.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant helpful in maintaining healthy hair. Sources of this vitamin are foods such as citrus fruits, kiwi, pineapple, tomatoes, green peppers, potatoes with their skins and dark green vegetables. The daily recommended dose for vitamin C is 60 mg.

Vitamin E

It increases scalp circulation which is crucial for hair growth. You get vitamin E from foods like wheat germ oil, soybeans, raw seeds ad nuts, dried beans and leafy green vegetables. The daily recommended dose for vitamin E is up to 400 IU.

It is not surprising that one of the major factors leading to hair loss stems from stress. Extreme stress can affect several aspects of one’s life and health, including causing hair If you suspect that stress is triggering your hair loss, then you will have to make changes in your lifestyle; otherwise you may well end up with bald patches on your head.

Stress can be triggered externally or internally. External situations come from the environment. Internal factors are linked to emotional responses such as depression, grief or resistance to change. If this stress is continuous and is not solved, it will begin to affect the way in which the body reacts.

Hair loss will often result as a reaction to the way in which stress impacts the balance in your body.

When stress begins to take place in your body, the hormonal balance in your body is upset. There may be an excess production of hormones which may then go into the scalp area and causing your hair to fall out. Usually, this hair loss will be noticeable after two to four months. You will be able to identify the hair loss by the thinning of your hair, bald spots or more hair falling out than usual.

To manage stress, you can use a variety of relaxation ways. Meditation techniques can be used to help you let go of daily problems. Massage therapy and going on a vacation are other ideas that you can adopt. You can also work on changing dietary habits and exercising regularly. If the problems are more external or related to a life-changing situation, there are a variety of places that will help you in working through the problem.



Hair loss due to stress triggers can be stopped pretty easily and quickly once you control your stress and ease the pressures that you face. Take comfort that hair loss is usually not permanent in these cases and hair tends to grow back after stress is reduced. When you eliminate stress, the hormonal balance in your body is restored and production of particular nutrients is back at normal levels. In conclusion, it is important to get help and support quickly before hair is not lost completely.

Hair loss creates baldness. A bald person looks older than his real age. This abnormal hair loss is technically called alopecia. It does not affect our health directly but indirectly it creates problems, such as low self esteem. When alopecia occurs at a young age, it creates an inferiority complex that leads to other health problems. Hence, we should attend to this problem and go for a hair loss treatment. There are many treatments; some are medications and some are surgeries. You need to find the best hair loss treatment by consulting a specialist.

If the condition is not severe, then, you can stop the hair loss with Propecia.

Propecia is a well-known medicine and very popular. A regular use of Propecia can stop hair loss and even re-grow hair. Not just Propecia, there are other options too that could be better for your hair. In the past people did not have many options to fight baldness. The most common way was to buy a wig and cover the

head. But now with the advancement of science we have many more ways for treating hair loss. Some of the better hair loss treatments are:

Bio matrix treatment: This is widely known as hair weaving. Hair is woven to cover the bald patch. Today hair weaving has emerged as one of the best and popular treatments for hair loss.

Surgical hair transplant: The hair follicles in the bald patches are transplanted with hair. In each follicle up to four hairs can be transplanted.

Hair is picked from other areas of your scalp where hair is still thick. To be successful this treatment needs a healthy growth.

These are some of the well-known hair loss treatments that are famous and widely used. A lof of people have been benefited by these treatments.

Paul has been providing answers to lots of queries through his website on a wide variety of subjects ranging from satellite phones to acne.

Men who start to go bald even before a mid-life crisis may have their mothers to blame, according to a new study. Researchers have found that the main construction manual for a full head of hair is located on the X chromosome, which sons always inherit from their mothers.

This genetic storage space contains the so-called androgen receptor gene, a long time balding suspect. Looking at men who were losing their hair at a relatively young age, a team led by Markus Nothen, PhD, of the Life & Brain Center at Bonn University, Germany systematically examined all of the genetic patterns within the X chromosome to see why certain hairlines recede faster than others. It’s not a pretty picture.

The study, published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, claims that a single alteration in the androgen-receptor gene is the major reason why some men end up going bald before their fathers. Nearly half of bald men would not be bald if they did not have this genetic variation. The hair loss in these younger men, he added, was much more severe than in the men who still had a reason to use a comb in their 60s.

The two approved medicines to treat hair loss (Rogaine and Propecia) need to be taken for a long time to see results. With Propecia, doctors sometimes advise their patients not to expect any results before at least six to eight months. And both need to be used indefinitely to maintain its effect. Once you stop, hair loss will continue.

Although there are only two medicines approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat hair loss, many people are interested in other, alternative treatments.

The herb saw palmetto has been used for many years in Europe to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate and there is some evidence that it may also be effective in treating hair loss.
