becomes highly impossible for them to step out of their house without

conditioners, hair serums, hair colour, blow driers, straightening
equipments can all prove to have an adverse effect on hair growth.

certain oils and cosmetics containing parabens or perfumes containing
phthalate, when

external sources. Chemicals have been linked to more than 200 health
problems which comprises of asthma, depression and even cancers.

hands should be washed and dried properly to help prevent infections.
Choose the product from the market which are tested dermatologicaly
before getting circulated. If you have any doubt about the product,
you can test it by applying it to a small portion of your skin before
