Benefits for Nails The benefit of Vitamin C doesn’t stop there as the same effect extends to your nails. It helps strengthens the connective tissues that forti

And this is not just about our love for our special someone but our love for everything and everyone including ourselves.  This February, take time to take care of your own appearance and since our hair is on top of our body, it is pertinent that we start with it.  Here are a few tips in maintaining a healthy hair. ·          Observe good hygiene all the time – regularly wash your hair to remove dirt and grimes ·          Be extra careful whenever combing your wet hair – your hair is vulnerable to breakage during this period. ·          Use towel to dry off your hair after shower – Using hair dryer can cause damage to your hair; if you must use the heat then do so sparingly. ·          Eat the proper nutrition - Our hair is also dependent on what we eat. Iron-rich food and protein strengthens your hair. ·          Have enough
