Vega Wooden Bristle Paddle Brush Review

Once upon a time, when not many people read my blog, I wrote a post on 10 ways to reduce hair fall, I mentioned a Wooden Bristle brush there but I never got around to getting one for myself. Every time I would go shopping, I would buy end up buying other things but never this.

Why I am Broke: Introduction

This is actually a haul post but calling a haul, a haul is no more realistic! Hence, the new name, Why I am Broke!' So, what do you think about the new name?

This post is called introduction mainly because I bought some very daily routine kind of stuff.

Here's  what I bought:

•   Lux Peach and Cream Shower Gel (Mainly because it had a loofah free with it!)
• Vaselin Total Moisture Cream (The lotion was not impressive at all but the cream was better and it was 40 gm for 38 INR)
• Jolen Bleach (I have no frigging idea why I picked this up because I don't even *uses* a bleach!)
• Himalaya Anti Hair Loss Cream (I wanted to try this for a long time. That Total Repair 5 shampoo has not done my hair any good!)
• Nivea Whitening with Licorice extracts (It had a Lip Gloss free with it, how could I not buy:P)
• Vega Professional Foundation Brush PB-17 from Violetbag because they had the 400 INR brush for 340 INR and it would have been criminal to not buy it. This brush looks like  #187 from MAC but I still have to see how well it works!
  

 And.............. Cheeselings :P

10 Ways To Reduce Hair-Fall

From my past experience, I have realised that you can never really stop hair-fall. However, you can reduce the amount of hair-fall. There are few tips which will reduce the amount of hair-fall and make it healthier.

1. If you've split-ends, get a haircut of twice or at least 1.5 times the length of your split ends.Suppose, your hair has split-ends which are about 1 inch , so cut at least 1.5 inches of hair.
2. Don't brush your hair often, twice a day is more than enough. Remember how we rubbed a plastic scale on our heads and it was able to attract bits of paper due to static electricity? Don't? Well, you can try it now! Anyway, same thing happens when you brush your hair very often. This static charge makes your hair rough.
3. If you have to brush often, use a wide spaced comb or brush to entangle your hair and then use a finer-tooth comb if you need.
4. Start entangling your hair from the bottom and move towards the scalp. This has been the most effective trick in reducing hair breakage and hair-fall.
5. If possible, switch to a brush with rubber or wood bristles which are rounded.If you can't find these, you can use a plastic/ fiber comb or brush with rounded tips from some standard company. I like Vega and Roots and you can get them easily from any supermarket chain.
6. Everyone knows this but I will still say it," Always condition your hair after shampooing it.
7. When you oil your hair, apply some oil to the ends as well. I know how they say only the scalp is able to absorb it but the ends of your hair are older and rougher than the hair near the scalp, hence, you've to moisturize it so the shampoo doesn't make it very dry.
8. If  you've dandruff and you're tried all the popular shampoos likes Head & Shoulders, Clinic All Clear, etc, try a shampoo like nizoral or scalp.If these don't help, go see a dermatologist!
9. Keep your scalp clean.Wash your brush at least twice a week or as frequently as you wash your hair.
10. Trim your hair after every two months or so, that way your hair gets entangled less because you get rid of the oldest and the most damaged part of your hair i.e. the ends.
