Fact – the pink appearance of the nail comes from the blood vessels underneath the
nail. The underneath surface of the nail plate has grooves along the length
of the nail that help anchor it to the nail bed.

Lunula – the crescent moon at the nail base.

Cuticle – the thin strip of skin at the base of the nail covering the matrix.

Fact – the cuticle is situated between the skin of the finger and the nail plate
fusing these structures together and providing a waterproof barrier.

Your nails are comprised of keratin, which is a tough, fibrous protein substance. The hardness of the nail comes from the presence of sulphur in amino acids binding the keratin together. Fat and water molecules lie between the layers of keratin and make nails shiny and pliable.

Like the rest of your body, the strength and look of our nails are genetically determined, so we have to work with what we have been given. But, by taking good care of your nails – grooming them weekly, moisturizing them daily, protecting them from the sun and caring properly for your cuticles – you can make th best of what you have.

Wouldn’t it be great if your hair could look like you had just stepped out of a salon everyday. Perfectly styled, glossy, straight or curly, strong, thick, luscious…but the reality of everyday life mean that you are more likely to just give your hair a quick brush or chuck it up into a ponytail. It’s all about practicality. But if you learn a few trade secrets that can be easily and quickly done, your hair can get that salon look everyday.

1) The first tip doesn’t actually need you to touch your hair and it won’t just make your hair look good but your skin and complexion too. People are always saying that if you are healthy, then your hair looks healthy too. Well I would recommend to take an all round vitamin that incorporates all major vitamins your body needs to stay looking and working well. If you don’t see a major difference when you have added his multi-vitamin to your diet, you could a more specific approach. Try taking vitamins with amino acids which will make your hair look glossy and more important healthy. If you are planning to add any tablets in the form of vitamins to your diet I would suggest that you ask your doctor for advice first, just to be on the safe side. If you don’t want to do down the tablet route, you could just add specific foods to your diet. Try fresh fish that is rich in Omega 3 and will provide your hair with essential natural oils to keep it moisturized. Drink the recommended two liters of water a day..this may seem like a lot but if you have a bottle of water with you at most times, you will drink it faster than you think. And of course you can eat more fruit and vegetables.

2) Make you own natural hair care products. People are always complaining about the costs of branded shampoos and conditioners but the very best products for your hair are already in your home. Why not just try mashing up an avocado and place it directly onto the hair that you have just rinsed. Leave it on for about 20 minutes and then rinse. Your hair won’t just smell great but look fantastic too. Try the same technique with a banana if you prefer the smell of that. Talk about cheap and cheerful.

3) Your hair is like a good rose bush. You need to prune it every so often to make sure that the good new stems can grow. Make sure that you have hair your hair trimmed every two to three months depending on the length of your hair. Do not think that if you are in the process of growing your hair you do not need it trimming. The split ends will not only look bad
