Do not change your shampoo brand frequently

Most shampoos contain chemicals, but one can use either shampoo, homemade hair shampoo or shikakai, depending on their preference for the same. But do not change your shampoo brand frequently. Use one brand for the longest possible time. The reason why we don’t insist on any particular shampoo is that the health of your hair is determined by your diet, irrespective of the hair washing agent— herbal or non-herbal, or shampoo or shikakai . Just like your body, your hair too needs a balanced diet, containing essential nutrients that help maintain a problem-free and healthy hair during any season. Dr Subhashini Mohan, Dermatologist 

If a person donates whole blood, he/she can again donate only after three months. The time gap differs when a particular component is donated. In the case of platelets, the donation interval is 15 days. Donate blood whole heartedly and save lives! Blood is a lifesaving gift to the sick patient. This need can be fulfilled only if someone donates blood. Except a human being, there is no other source of blood. Donating blood once can save three lives at least. Register in a nearby hospital or licensed blood bank as volunteers, to donate whole blood or in some circumstances, a particular component of blood like plasma, platelets or red blood cells. The blood components are transfused into the recipient according to the requirement after thorough testing. Dr. Jyotsna Codaty, HOD - Transfusion Medicine, Fortis Malar Hospital.
