Looking for a more natural approach to hair care? Here are some tips to help your hair look and feel its best.

1. Avoid shampoos that contain sodium laurel sulfate, or sodium laureth sulfate. These chemicals are synthetic detergents that are used in dishwashing liquid and other cleansers. They are valued because they lather well, but they are very harsh, and can dry out your hair. Instead, look for shampoos made with decyl glucose, or decyl glucoside, which are much gentler.

2. Give yourself a hot oil treatment to deep condition your hair. Warm oil penetrates the hair shaft making the hair more flexible and giving it shine. This can also help to prevent split ends which result from dry hair.

3. Eat right and consider taking vitamin and mineral supplements to encourage healthy hair. Several vitamins and minerals have been shown to help hair growth and condition including biotin, vitamin E, vitamin B, vitamin C and MSM.

4. If you are an African American, or if you have extra curly hair, avoid brushing your hair. Use a wide toothed comb, or your fingers to work with your hair. Brushes can destroy African American or extra curly hair by shearing it out of the scalp.

5. Look for essential oils, herbs and vegetable oils in your hair care products. Essential oils such as rosemary, ylang-ylang and west indian bay help to stimulate hair growth. Lavender and tea tree and naturally antiseptic and help to fight dandruff. Vegetable oils such as soybean oil, safflower oil and corn oil are moisturizing and conditioning to the hair shaft.

6. Avoid sleeping in hair accessories such as barrettes, scrunchies, head bands, etc. This can lead to hair damage.

7. Massage your scalp to help stimulate hair growth. Massaging helps stimulate hair growth by increasing the blood flow to the scalp. This nourishes the hair roots and helps to stimulate the hair growth process.

8. If your hair ends are damaged, give yourself a trim every so often to remove damage.

Most of you have heard of ultrasonic in different applications. For example, doctors use ultrasonic to treat patients. Opticians use ultrasonic to clean lenses. Industries use ultrasonic to detect and control product quality, quantity, size, thickness, and height. Perhaps you have never heard of ultrasonic home spa can improve your health and beauty.

The history of spa comes from Latin ?Solus Per Aqua?, meaning ?Health via Water?. The concept of immersing the body in water to maintain and restore health is essential to life. Sebastian Kneipp, the ?Father of Hydrotherapy?, said that the correct combination of water and herbs can treat almost any illness.

Today, with the changing social environment, many people are feeling stress and sick. Maintaining a balanced diet, having good exercise, and getting enough rest become a challenging issue for men and women. You may feel stress from work during the day. And then, you get more stress from home with your spouse or children around in the evening. How often do you give yourself a getaway? How about using a home spa to reduce your stress and relieve your pain every day?

A new breakthrough in spa technology combines ultrasonic waves, far infrared rays, and ozone negative ions into one portable home spa machine. This device gives you an alternative health treatment for stress and 36 most common illnesses. Research has shown that five minutes in this ultrasonic bubble bath is equivalent to an hour of professional massage. And, every 15 minutes of ultrasonic bubble bath helps you to burn 200 to 300 calories, which is equivalent to a 3 to 5 km intensive jogging.

Traditional massage applies pressure onto your body tissue directly. In this new home spa technology, ultrasonic bubbles actually apply pressure by penetrating your skin and dilating your cells. This means promoting cell activities and increasing blood circulation. Besides the health benefits, you will get beauty benefits like: deep cleansing, body detoxification, and total body care with shiny and resilient skin tone.

Ultrasonic home spa provides internal warming, total relaxation, body massage, deep cleansing, and beauty contouring. It is different from sauna, jacuzzi, and normal bath because they don?t have the ultrasonic application to drive heat deep into the body, bones, and internal organs.

More importantly, if you want to create your own aroma hydrotherapy at home, you just need to add a few drops of herbal oil that is specially designed to be water soluble for ultrasonic bath. Then, you are ready to enjoy life with a home spa that simulates the natural healing power of a hot spring, a waterfall, and a forest bath.
