cleaning/ shampooing- 

it must be done using natural ingredients as far as possible. aritha , shikakai and amla are best ingredients to wash hairs along with shoeflower. all this ingredients are to be soaked over night in 

2:1:1:1:1 ratio for hair length upto shoulders or arms.and then in morning boil this mixture allow it to cool and then apply over hair roots after filtering it with cloth or sieve and use the water as shampoo.you cant store this mixture you have to prepare it fresh everytime.it is the best natural wayto maintain good hair texture and growth. though the foam will be minimum in it but hairs will be cleaned completely and  gradually you will get used to it. you can repeat the process alternate day or every day depending on your hair type, perspiration, pollution etc

• dry hairs must do it alternate day
• oily hairs must do it every day
• if perspiration is frequent then you have to clean every day 
• if infrequent then you can do it twice or thrice per week
• if you live or work in the area with air or dust pollution then do the process everyday

oiling or massaging

it is very essential to moisten your hairs esp if they are dry.people with oily hairs can oil their hairs once a week and people with dry hairs have to oil evry alternate day.or every night and wash them next day morning.oiling is done to improve circulation in scalp.in foreign countries there is no trend of oiling hairs but there pollution is also less more over the products used by them are standard and less hazardous compared to those that are available in india. so they dont oil..but they may use spa or serum or conditioner regularly and massage their hairs  regularly. the importance of oiling is to moisten the dry cuticle and to increase hair circulation.massage should be always done with finger tips slowly and in circular pattern for almost 10-15 min til the entire scalp temperature slightly rises.you can use any herbal oil for hairs but i would recommend castor oil 5 drops with coconut oil , amla oil, almond oil, olive oil mixture in 1:1:1:1 proportion pour some curry leaves 10-12 and then heat the mixture mix it well and allow it to cool slight if you have vit e capsule then now you can open up one capsule and add few drops from it into the mixture and then apply this mixture on hairs at night over scalp using finger tip. keep it over night and then wash it in morning if you want

International women's day

                  International women's day

Is international women's day so important that it needs to be celebrated ? if yes then why women's day is just celebrated for one day but not taken into consideration in day to day life. out of 365 days people disrespect women, dominate her 364 days and on remaining one day they celebrate international women's day ..do you really think it is the right way to show importance of women's days or rather the correct way?

female dignity:

have you ever tried to maintain decorum and respect of your sister or wife or mother..in most of the cases a mother or sister decorum is maintained upto some extent but the wife's decorum or dignity is never maintained..people often strongly believe that they shouldnt disrespect their mothers or sisters and are ready to stand when any injustice happens to them but on the other hand do they believe strongly that they must maintain respect of their wife's and other females too?do they take stand of their wives or females when there is any injustice being done to them by their own friends or family members?

high time to understand:

in olden days males used to beat their wives and consider them as their personal property or a showpiece of house who is just kept aside in a house but has no right to say...now adays also the same trend is being continued but just the difference is that now males dont beat but they use words as weapons to hurt females or their wives when doesnt happen as per his will. even now women especially daughter in laws dont have the right to say or give their opinion in house matters..
accepting their opinion is diffrent thing but they are not even allowed to put forward their views..
and whenever they try to do so their husband will prevent her from doing so, for the sake of RESPECT for his family members...he often forgets that the female whom he is preventing from expressing is also a living human being with emotions...for him dignity of his family and himself is important but at that time he forgets the dignity of his wife...and to add to this worse situation he starts judging his wife, her relatves, her parents etc ..and finally it ends into  disturb relationship for which  again he will blame his wife ........this is the scenario of each and every house even today...

in other context if a female will rebel or stand for her dignity or opinions she will be asked to move out of the house...as if she was never a part of it..sometimes she will be even asked for divorce by her husband as a punishment of expressing her opinion in front of others..this is the height upto which people go..and then too they celebrate women's day....these two faced people have no right to stay  in society ..and its high time they understand this fact and the injustice that they are doing with women of our society.
