HAIR AND SKIN CARE
Including Treatments for Hair Loss

HAIR CARE WITH NATURAL HENNA
Beautiful Hair Natural Henna for Hair has been used as a cosmetic hair dye for more than 6000 years. Red Henna is a flowering plant called Lawsonia Inermis. It has protein-binding properties. Henna is, essentially, nature's conditioner for the hair. It helps to make your hair heavy, thick, and silky. It is a natural colorant with no harsh or toxic chemicals, and gives a range of shades in a beautiful warm auburn tone. Natural Red Henna stains a rich red-brown or chestnut color.

Red Henna contains tannins. Tannins have astringent properties which tighten the surface of the scalp and hair follicles, strengthening each follicle's grasp on the hair. Henna penetrates each hair shaft and seals the hair cuticle, thereby healing the hair shaft. This helps prevent breakage of hair, adds shine, promotes hair growth, and helps prevent premature graying. Henna has antiseptic, antibacterial, astringent, and antifungal properties. Therefore it can eliminate lice, reduce hair dandruff, and treat scaly scalp conditions.

SKIN CARE ACCORDING TO AYURVEDIC PRINCIPLES

A QUICK REVIEW OF SKIN TYPES AND POSSIBLE PROBLEMS
Vata Skin
Vata skin has the same qualities as air and space. In general it is thin, dry, and delicate, with fine pores and cool to the touch. If you have a lot of Vata in your constitution and are imbalanced, your skin will likely be rough, flaky, and excessively dry with possible eczema. The greatest challenge for Vata-type skin is its disposition to early wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
Pitta Skin
Pitta is mostly fire, so Pitta skin tends to experience heat imbalances like acne, heated rashes, rosacea, liver spots, and pigment disorders. If you have a predominance of Pitta in your constitution, your skin will likely be ruddy, pink, or red, and will tend to be prone to freckles and moles. Pitta skin is warm and of medium thickness. Pitta-type skin is very fair, sensitive, and sunburns easily.
Kapha Skin
Kapha skin tends to have all the qualities of water and earth. Kapha-type skin is pale, thick, oily, soft, and cool to the touch. Kapha-type skin ages well and doesn't wrinkle much. It is the most tolerant of the three types, but can sometimes be greasy or have large pores and blackheads when imbalanced.
