Split Ends No More Instantly repair your hair and get ready for your close up in no time
If you’re like most people, there are days when you just want to let your hair down, let the wind softly blow through it, allow it to bounce freely upon your shoulders – but then your hair just had to have a mind of its own. It’s dry, it’s frizzy, and yes, has split ends. Split ends result from excessive hair trauma. Frequent blow drying, brushing, and over exposure to the sun and chemical treatments are some of the common culprits. Split ends are more common on long hair, which can be really frustrating especially if it took years to grow it to that length.
10 the art of beauty & well-being
For most, a trip to the salon to cut these nasty split ends is the only solution. But worry not, ladies, because with technology on our side, we now have a clever way to mend split ends scientifically. Introducing Brazilian Blowout’s Professional Split End Repairing Solution - the only in-salon treatment that repairs and prevents split ends immediately. It uses a special ThermoMarine Bonding System that fills up and holds damaged hair fibres together. What's more, it has Brazilian Blowout’s Super Nutrient Complex that stops potential damage and shields hair coating from harmful elements.
What’s more, there is no down time after having this treatment! You can wash your hair, work out, or put it up right away if you want. Want to know more? Ganesha Group is the UK distributor of all Brazilian Blowout products, including their Professional Split End Repairing Solution.

Nutrition to avoid Winter colds and flu. By Elspeth Waters for CNM (College of Naturopathic Medicine). Having adequate ‘good’ gut flora is the best defence against external pathogens, so keep your levels topped up with daily servings of probiotic, fermented food and drinks, such as raw sauerkraut and fermented vegetables, kefir and kombucha, or take a multi-strain probiotic supplement. Vitamin D3 helps regulate the immune system but our levels often dwindle in the UK during winter. In terms of food, fermented cod liver oil is the best source. Oily fish and grass-fed meat and eggs will also provide some, but a D3 supplement may be needed. Think zinc as well as Vitamin C as both nutrients are essential components of our immune cell response.Vitamin C is readily available in fruit and green veg but levels are quickly depleted by cooking and storage. Consider boosting your intake of natural vitamin C with a concentrated fruit powder such as baobob, rosehip or acerola cherry. Zinc is found in meat, liver, seafood and nuts and seeds, especially pumpkin seeds. Bee pollen – ‘Mother Nature’s multivitamin and mineral’ – contains nearly every nutrient

Saline nasal rinses help to keep the airways clear, as does oil pulling, an Ayurvedic tradition of swishing oil (virgin sesame, sunflower or coconut) around the mouth for 5-20 minutes before teeth cleaning. The oil helps to drain mucous and draw out all the old immune cells and their waste products from the sinuses and nearby lymphatic tissue to keep the passages smooth and clear. Avoid sugar! Not only does it suppress our immunity, it also feeds bacteria, viruses and fungus and promotes mucous production so will prolong an infection.
