All about Hair Fall
Cutting the hair makes it longer and stronger
Not true. People might have started thinking so by comparing hair on the head to facial hair. The fact remains that facial hair is DIFFERENT from the hair on your head. Cutting your hair will only make is shorter and it will grow at exactly the normal rate - ½ a cm a month.

Pluck one grey hair and two will grow in its place
Sounds like a Two for the price of one offer? Think of it, if this were true, men with balding pates will be puling whatever little hair they have left with the idea of doubling their hair - grey or otherwise.

Standing on your head or hanging upside down will increase blood circulation to the head and thus reduce hair loss
This is absolutely untrue. While standing on your head will definitely increase the circulation of blood to the upper body, it has absolutely no impact on hair growth. The cause of hair loss is genetic and no amount of standing upside down will correct that.

Rigorously toweling of your hair will cause hair fall
Not true. At the most it will help ready to shed hair to fall off, but that would happen anyway. Toweling does nothing to hair except to dry it.

Losing a handful of hair daily is an indicator of male pattern baldness
This is not necessarily true. Hair loss is a normal occurrence and it is only when hair regeneration stops that you identify the onset of male pattern baldness.

Brushing your hair is better than combing it
As a matter of fact, hair responds better to combing than brushing. It is not a cause of baldness though. Brushing your hair only leads to split ends and hair breakage. It is advisable to use a wide-toothed comb as far as possible.

Wearing hats causes hair loss
In order for the hair to fall out, the hat would have to be so tight that it cuts circulation to the follicles. So no, wearing hats does not cause hair loss. Could you just imagine how many pro sports players would be bald if that were the case?

You can increase the number of hair follicles
You are born with all the follicles you'll ever have. The number of hair follicles is determined by genetics and cannot be changed by taking drugs or supplements. The only proven way to increase the number of follicles is by hair transplant surgery.

Similarly, the diameter of hair shaft, the maximum length of growth, rate of hair growth, hair color, tendency to curl, and tendency to gray are genetically determined.

There is nothing you can do to prevent or treat hair loss
This last myth is probably the most misunderstood thing about hair loss. In the past, this was true - there was nothing that can be done about hair loss. But now, with advances in science and understanding about the nutritional needs of hair, men and women no longer have to live with hair loss

Problems of the eyes and how to deal with it!
Dark circles, Puffy eyes and Crow's-feet are the three main eye problems that can cloud an otherwise beautiful face.

If your eyes are puffy with dark shadows, it shows you are not getting enough sleep. One can get dark circles and puffy eyes if you had a late night out or didn't have a night's sleep or cried your heart out. But, you can make them fade fast.

Preventive methods :

For dark circles :

Gently wash the face, then apply a skin tightening moisturizer around the eyes.

Grind a raw potato and add almond paste to it. Use the mixture regularly on the under-eyes to get rid of dark circles and puffiness.

Increase your daily intake of water to minimum 8 to 10 glasses.

Apply fresh fig on the eyes.

Place two cucumber slices over the eyes and rest for 15 minutes or apply cucumber juice under eyes.

Getting enough sleep at least 8-10 hours a day, can fade out dark circles

For puffy eyes :

The puffiness of the eyes can be reduced with a glass of ice water and four stainless steel spoons. Chill the spoons in the water and then place one over each eye. When the spoons become warm, switch them with the others chilling in the glass of water. Keep switching until you see improvement.
Settle down for two to five minutes with a chilled, steeped chamomile or green tea bag over each eye. The natural properties of these herbal teas helps to bring puffy eyes back down to size.
Cucumber contains anti-inflammatory properties to reduce redness and puffiness of eyes. Slice a large cucumber, reserve two slices to place over eyes. Peel and puree the remaining cucumber. This can be applied as a pack onto your face. Remove after fifteen minutes. Apply moisturiser thickly to seal in water.
Crow's-feet are those wrinkles or tiny lines at the corner of the eyes. Once it appears, it is difficult to make it fade. It can only be faded with the aid of injections or cosmetic surgery. It is better to prevent them from occurring in the first place.

Wear a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or more to avoid the ultra violet rays of the sun which cause wrinkles on the skin.

Always wear sunglasses when you go out in the sun.

Sleeping on your back helps smooth out the wrinkles because gravity works to pull the skin backward. If you cannot sleep on your back, at least try to switch sides frequently.

The skin below your eyes is thin and has few oil producing glands. So don't pull, tag or drag it as you apply and remove make up. Any time you apply cream or lotion, dab, don't rub.

Regular use of Retin-A cream, an acne product that exfoliates the skin, also improves the appearance of fine crow's-feet
