साथीभाई भेटघाट हुँदा हात मिलाउने गरिन्छ । तर वैज्ञानिकहरुले भने हात नमिलाउन सुझाव दिँदै मुड्की जुधाउन सल्लाह दिएका छन् ।बेलायतको एवस्र्थ विश्वविद्यालयका शोधकर्ताहरुले गरेको अध्ययनले अब हात मिलाउने (ह्याण्ड सेक) संस्कृतिलाई बाइ बाइ गर्न सुझाव दिएका छन् । शोधकर्ताहरुका अनुसार हात मिलाउनु भन्दा मुठ्ठी जुधाउनु धेरै स्वस्थकर अभिवादनको शैली हो । हस्त स्वास्थ्य सम्बन्धमा गरिएका विभिन्न अनुसन्धानले यस्तो देखाएको छ । वैज्ञानिकहरुले मुठ्ठी जुधाउने र हात मिलाउने मध्ये कुन बढि स्वस्थ शैली हो भन्ने कुरा पत्ता लगाउन ई कोली ब्याक्टेरियाको सर्ने दरको अध्ययन गरेका थिए ।

त्यस क्रममा हात मिलाउनु भन्दा हात माथि उठाएर हत्केला बजार्ने (हाइ फाइभ) शैलीबाट अभिवादन गर्दा ब्याक्टेरिया सर्ने दर ५० प्रतिशत कम हुने तथा मुठ्ठी बजार्ने शैल सबैभन्दा बढि सुरक्षित हुने र ९० प्रतिशत कम संक्रमण हुने पत्ता लागेको छ । शोधकर्ता डाक्टर डेभ व्हिटवर्थका अनुसार मुठ्ठी जुधाउने अभिवादन शैली सबैभन्दा बढि स्वस्थ तथा सुरक्षित हुनुको कारण यसो गर्दाको गति तथा सबैभन्दा कम सतह सम्पर्कमा आउनु हो ।

मानिसलाई हस्तमिलान भन्दा मुठ्ठी जुधाउने बानीलाई बढावा दिन लगाउने हो भने छालाबाट सर्ने विभिन्न खाले सरुवा रोगको संक्रमण कम हुने तकी उनको छ ।

But, reality speaks a different story. Instead of spending on those branded shampoos and conditioners, Dr. Sandeep Suttar - Hair Restoration and Skin Rejuvenation surgeon at Hairrevive, Mumbai, shares some natural ways to get great hair. Follow these easy and simple steps to give that luster and shine to your hair, and flaunt your hair like the models do...

Egg treatment

Use the entire egg to condition your hair. If you have dry or brittle hair, use egg whites to moisturize your hair. Use ½ cup of any egg mixture (egg white, entire egg) and apply to clean, damp hair. Leave it for 20 minutes and rinse with cool water.

Cleanliness is important

The most important reason for hair fall is dandruff and itchy scalp. Therefore, maintain good cleanliness for beautiful and healthy hair.

Avoid hot water

Skip hot water showers, because hot water will make your hair dry and brittle as it strips protective oils from your hair - says Dr. Suttar. Thus, prefer a temperature which is just a bit warmer than your body temperature.

Bottle gourd treatment

Extract some bottle gourd juice and apply it into your hair. Keep this solution for half an hour and wash it off thoroughly.

For that shiny soft hair

Prepare a mixture of 1 cup of your daily conditioner and 2-3 tablespoons of honey. Apply this mixture evenly on your wet hair. Leave it for 30 minutes and wash it off thoroughly. This mixture will close down your hair's cuticle and give your hair that amazing shine.

Baking soda therapy

Make a mixture of 3 tbsp. of baking soda and some water. Rinse your hair with this solution after shampooing. Let it set in for at least 5 minutes before the final rinse. This therapy will help to remove the excess shampoo and styling product from your hair.

For bouncy hair

Apply a one to one mixture of warm water and apple cider vinegar to your hair. Rinse it thoroughly after 5 minutes to get rid of the apple cider smell.

Don't wash your hair frequently

Wash your hair every 2-3 days, for proper regulation of natural hair oils. Washing your hair less often will also help regain your hair's natural body and luster.

Make your conditioner

For a protein packed conditioner, mix eggs and yogurt and rub it into your scalp. Leave on for five or 10 minutes, and then wash it off completely.

For strong hair

Use almond oil to treat dry and damaged hair. It is a very simple procedure, pour some almond oil in a bowl and heat it for 40 seconds. Then evenly distribute on your hair. Leave it for 30 minutes and then rinse normally with shampoo and conditioner using cold water.

Say bye-bye to dull hair with lemon juice

After the final rinse, apply 1 tsbp lemon juice to your hair. Simply towel dry your hair and style as normal to get rid of dry hair.

Use protection before you jump into the pool

Pools can do great damage to your hair as it contains harsh chemicals - says Dr Suttar. He says; prevent your hair from the pool damage by simply applying a little conditioner to your hair before you swim. This will protect your hair before it comes in contact with the pool water.

Treat sun damaged hair

Make a mixture of ½ cup honey, 1-2 tbsp olive oil and 1-2 tbsp of egg yolk. Apply this mixture on your hair for 20 minutes and then rinse with warm water. This treatment will help to replenish keratin protein bonds - says Dr. Suttar.

Tight is NO-NO

To prevent breakage due to brittle hair avoid using bands and do not tie your hair too tightly.

The proper brushing technique

Avoid using a comb with plastic bristles to prevent hair breakage from static electricity. The best way to brush your hair is by first brushing the ends to remove tangles and then take the long stokes from the roots of the hair to the ends. This technique will help proper spreading of natural hair oil and thus prevent breakage.

Moisturize your hair

Pour a little beer in your wet hair. Distribute evenly and massage your scalp with your fingers for 20 minutes. Then rinse it thoroughly to get rid of the beer smell. Do this procedure once a week for salon smooth hair. Dr. Suttar says- it is recommended that people with sinus and cold should avoid using this treatment.

Trim your hair regularly

Get your hair trimmed at least every six weeks to eliminate dry, split ends.

Do not brush wet hair

Wet hair is three times weaker and thus more likely to break - says Dr. Suttar. He recommends, towel dry your hair first and then gently detangle your hair using a wide tooth comb.

Let your hair air-dry

Allow your hair to dry by itself instead of using a blow-dryer or hot rollers. Using this artificial mode of drying technique will make your hair more brittle and dry. If you have no time to let your hair air dry, then use blow-dryer sparingly and make sure you use a warm setting instead of a hot setting.

Good diet

Drink lots of water and eat a healthy diet of raw fruits and vegetables. The most effective home treatment for hair care is a healthy diet. You are what you eat, and what you put into your body will be reflected on the outside.

Nails care
Looking good isn't just about wearing good or fancy clothes. It's about being well groomed as well. Nail care should be an important and essential part of your beauty regimen. Today, nail art is a growing industry with thousands of takers.

And nail art is no longer an expensive process — it is reasonable affordable. One tip that you must remember is that whether you have long or short nails, always keep them clean. Add some colour to your rainy days by opting for bright colours or jazz up your nails with some pretty floral or animal prints. Glitter and diamond stick-ons are some other options. Go in for monthly manicures and pedicures.

Hair care
It is never too late to give yourself a new look. Dark colours are in vogue just now. Go on for a dual colour tone, where the darker colour is underneath and a lighter colour covers the crown area or vice versa. Side step bangs or fringes are also much in demand as are hair extensions.

Body care
Using an alcohol free cleanser, water based cosmetics and makeup unless you have very dry skin. Don't wait for a special occasion to get your face and back polished. Go in for treatments every three to four months — they clean your skin and give it an unblemished, polished look. Your skin needs water to glow, so keep yourself hydrated. Green tea is another great way to keep your skin and body healthy. Ensure that you also eat a healthy diet and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
