Hair n Dress Hangups??

- by Bipasha

So, are you facing the same problem as me? Losing locks of hair in the monsoons?

Well, here is how you can have lustrous hair in Monsoons..

First, have a spoonful of amla juice (diluted with a little water) every morning even before your bed tea. Believe me, few days into doing this and my hairfall was noticeably arrested!

Second,always oil your hair (atleast twice a week) with sarso tel (mustard oil) which has been heated with carrom seeds (ajwain) till they become sort of brown. Wash your hair only after keeping your hair oiled for a minimum of 6-8 hrs.

And most importantly, in monsoons, a major reason for hair loss is the fact that our scalp is not really adequately exposed to sunlight. So after every hair wash, make sure to dry your hair properly and avoid using a hair dryer in case of excessive hairfall.

Going out to a semi-formal get together this Independence Day weekend?

Try wearing a floor length anarkali (abundantly available in leading stores, Shoppers Stop, Westside, Biba and some online portals too!) in bright colors such as fuchsia and cheery yellow (to beat the monsoon blues). My vote is for a heavy embroidered anarkali with minimal make up and accessories! Just wear a nice pair of jootis, put a dab of nude lip gloss and apply dark kohl on eyes! I would give chunky ear pieces and necklaces a miss for this. The look is perfect for both night and day. Let the dress and your eyes do all the talking - subtle yet making a statement!
