Not Cheap, But It Works!

I’ve been using Viviscal hair vitamins for about a month now and I’m so pleasantly surprised that I have to write my Viviscal review.

I’m a female in my late 20′s and I’ve suffered from hair loss since I was a teen.  After the birth of my baby, it got even worse.  My hair fell out in handfulls to the point where I now have about 1/3 of my hair left.  My hair really is a disaster – very fine and wispy – a real problem!

I was desperate and I tried everything – Rogaine, hair supplements, changed my diet, protein shakes – everything but nothing has worked.

Then I decided to try Viviscal and WOW!  Finally something that works!  My hair loss has slowed down and my nails are growing like crazy and look absolutely amazing.  There is now hardly any hair in my hand when I run my fingers through my hair and the shower doesn’t get clogged up by my hair anymore.  I’m also sweeping up less hair and after a hair wash there is only a few hair strands in the basin compared to the 40+ that I usually had.

My scalp is still highly visible.  Viviscal has stopped my hair loss but it hasn’t done anything for hair re growth.  But to be fair, I’ve only used it for about a month and it does say to give it at least 3 months.

This is not a cheap hair loss solution – let’s be honest – it is quite pricey but for me it is the only product on the market that works.  I’ll eat less if I have to but I’ll be using Viviscal for as long as it takes.

Best Dry Shampoo for Color-Treated Hair

 Articles  Comments Off
Mar 282012

I LOVE Batiste Dry Shampoo, it simply is the best dry shampoo for color-treated hair.  My hair is a bright blue and if I wash it with regular shampoo, the color fades away in no time.  Batiste dry shampoo is great!  By the end of day 2 my hair is oily.  On the morning of day 3 I use Batiste dry shampoo and I look as if I have just stepped out of a salon.

A few tips when using Batiste dry shampoo:

Start with less dry shampoo than what you think you’ll need;
Remember that this process will work at most twice after which you’ll have to wash your hair again;
Although the smell is not repulsive, it is fairly strong.  My advice is to apply it at least an hour before you go out.  This will ensure that the smell has faded a little;
Don’t use any other hair products when using dry shampoo;

The best way to use it is as follows:

Lift and part the hair and spray the roots.  Let it sit for 3 – 5 minutes;
Using your fingers, comb it through starting from the roots combing out to the hair tips;
Use a bristle brush to blend in any shampoo that is left.

I’m thinking of trying out some of the other brands but I think Batiste dry shampoo will be hard to beat.

Rogaine for Women Hair Loss

Feb 052012

I have begun using Rogaine for Women because I am one of the unfortunate 30 million women in the United States who suffers from hereditary hair loss. I don’t know if you know this or not, but everyone looses between 50 and 100 hairs a day normally. For most women, this hair is replaced maintaining the average of 100,000 hairs. But for women like me, this doesn’t happen. Instead, I’m losing about 150 hairs a day. Or I should say I was losing 150 hairs a day.

I chose to do something about my problem. I started using Rogaine Hair Regrowth Treatment for Women. I have to say it’s working too.

One of the great things about this product is how easy it is to use. Using this minoxidil product doesn’t mean that I can’t use hair sprays or gels. I can use the same hair products that everyone else can. I put it on and while I’m waiting for it to dry I put my makeup on. I don’t lose any time getting ready for the day ahead. I can’t tell you how glad I am that I found Rogaine for Women hair loss treatment.

The hCG Drops Pounds And Inches Manuscript

Dec 212011

Most of the trusted weight loss programs are formulated by doctors and nutritionists.  However, even the skills and expertise of these medical and health professionals go under fire as some of the diet programs are questioned for its health safety.  One of the controversial diets today is the hCG drops weight loss protocol due to the administration of a naturally occurring hormone daily along with a low calorie diet plan.  Nevertheless, the controversies surrounding the diet protocol had been a long standing issue since it was introduced in the 1950s by Dr. ATW Simeons.  Yet what makes it more interesting is that the diet protocol with hCG had been highly praised by thousands of dieters who have seen immediate results in just a week. 

The hCG drops diet promises a pound a day weight loss only that an extremely low 500-calorie diet plan is to be partnered with the hCG sublingual solution.  Despite these controversies, some of the proponents of this diet stand firm that the very low calorie diet plan is not to be taken long term anyway.  This is just used as a way to gradually revert the person’s appetite back to its recommended daily calorie intake.  True enough, the diet program typically has three phases wherein the dieter has a set of guidelines for the gradual calorie reduction in his diet.

You Can Lose Weight by Dancing

Dec 202011

When looking at all your options for losing weight, don’t forget to take into account those less obvious methods that can be as effective, if not more so, than the generally accepted ways. While it will always be important to ensure you are eating a sensible, healthy diet it is equally important to combine that diet with an exercise discipline to enhance its beneficial effects. While there are many people who shun the very idea of exercising for a number of reasons, there are some forms of exercising that can be done that don’t even feel like exercise!

One of those forms is dancing as we’ve seen talked about at weightlosspunch.com. It will probably come as no great surprise to learn that dancing and weight loss go together hand in hand. That’s because dancing certain styles at an elevated level of enthusiasm has the same effect as most other exercise forms in that it raises your heart and breathing rate considerably, increases muscle work and forces your body to use up more energy.

The best thing about dancing is that it is a lot of fun! When anything that we do is really enjoyable, it doesn’t feel like its anything we don’t like to do. Dancing fits that idea perfectly because it is so enjoyable that you can dance away for a long time without realizing you just burned off a great deal of energy and added to your weight loss effort considerably. The best part about it is that you also did it almost effortlessly! So who said losing weight can’t be fun too?
