Proper vitamin supplementations and diet affects our hair and scalp quite dramatically. Taking supplement will give your hair the edge it needs to fight back against damage. Capsules of prime rose, flax seed, or cod liver oil improves your hair texture and prevents the brittleness.

Diet affects our hair and scalp quite dramatically. Well balanced diet actually produces good hair and most people don't like to hear that but, it's true. Crashing dieting causes hair loss. 

Everyone has a busy everyday lifestyle, it's time for me to take time off for a hair spa treatment.

My dad also has high blood pressure, but diabetes was never in the family just my mom has it. My mom has low blood pressure. My dad told me that his eyes hurts and he's worry as well.

It's family matter, so you know I am concern about it. My grandmother's (my mom's side) she is blind due to diabetes. She passed away about two years ago.

It's heart breaking moment to know that my dad admitted to Kajang hospital, he found out that he has dengue fever after blood test at the clinic. Thanks to my sister for bringing my dad to clinic for blood test the result out that his positive of dengue fever, he started fever last Saturday.

I told my sisters to monitor dad if fever continues to 5th day and he's not well. He needs to go for blood test, my dad lied to me that saying he's better but he is not. Last night he was admitted to Kajang hospital with helped from my brother.

Today my sisters visited him and told me that dad's sleepy and tired plus his eyes cannot open at all. He had drip last night but today it's being removed. He's losing his voice too, yeah I am worry of him. I hope he recover soon, he's feeling bones pain. He's been saying that all that time because he's having knee pain and feet pain as well. The pain has been going on for a long time. He has high blood pressure and he's been complaining of not able to walk long he feel the muscle pain, and knee pain too.

My dad is stubborn so am I, so I must have got it from him. That's what my dear always says of me. Stubborn like your parents, not forget that my mom also stubborn.

Stay healthy and look beautiful throughout Ramadhan with Guardian's regime and tips

How's everyone doing today? As the holy month of Ramadhan is fast approaching, leading pharmacy, healthy and beauty retailer Guardian Malaysia launched its annual health and beauty campaign to help customers stay healthy and look good throughout Ramadhan, and the Hari Raya festival that follows.

Ramadhan is a time when Muslims across the world fast during the hours of daylight. In hot climate countries such as Malaysia, the heat and humidity could take a toll on the body and fatigue often sets in. 

"Sihat and Anggun Sempena Aidilfitri" this year, the campaign continues to raise awareness and educate customers on how they can maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle during the month-long fast, culminating in the festive celebrations. In particular, Guardian has identified and offers a wide range of healthy, beauty and wellness products that would meet customers' needs.

At a media review which held in Carcosa Seri Negara, Ledang Room to kick start this campaign, we were treated to a variety of activities including a health check by Guardian Pharmacists and a dialogue with Guardian's Health Advisor Siti Aishah Mohd Yunos. Her photo is above.

Guardian's Health Advisor Siti Aishah Mohd Yunos, she explains that during pre dawn meal (Sahur).

Body needs something that is slow to digest in and retain long enough for >12hours of fasting.

Breaking of Fast (Iftar). Body needs something easy to digest for faster energy since it has fasting long hours.

Hair care by Head of Cut Above Academy Peter Wong

One of the tips he shares on anyone who is having naturally wavy and dry hair. 

• Don't shampoo everyday but do condition your hair every time you shower.
• When rinsing your hair, use cool water.
• Use your fingers to 'comb' your hair rather than using a comb (unless you're using a hair dryer).
• Embrace your curls and not use flat irons or hairdryers.
• Use leave-in-conditioners after every hair wash.
• Apply conditioner before washing hair and then apply again after rinsing off shampoo.

I tried the last method above using the Guardian Botaneco Garden products, click on the link to find out.
