e all grew up being pampered with long massage sessions as we were told that they were essential to
maintain healthy hair. Come monsoon and we get so tied up with updating our essentials for the season that
we neglect basic beauty rituals. A lot of women experience deterioration in the hair quality and deal with
excessive breakage, which cannot really be fixed with make-up or tactful dressing.
BIOLAGE Advanced FIBERSTRONG is the next generation of hair care by MATRIX, specially created to make weak, fragile
and brittle hair 12X STRONGER with just one treatment*! Fiberstrong combines the goodness of Nature with BAMBOO,
which promotes the elasticity of hair strands and INTRA-CYLANE that fills in the gaps and seals cuticles to reduce
breakage.

was travelling across rural Thailand when I saw a woman in a
traditional Thai dress Pha nung, her hair styled elaborately in
a doughnut shaped bun with a single wooden pin and I was
floored. I approached her and learnt how this way of wearing
hair was a tradition to be followed on days important to her faith
and culture. I realised that as much as clothing, hairstyles across the
cultures are representative of their philosophy, lifestyle and concepts

coiffed hair practices, started
in the 16th century. Japanese
women maintain silky hair
through minimal shampooing
with seaweed cleansers and
comb tsubaki oil through their
hair to keep it flawless through

women wear their hair in a variety
of exotic buns like the shimada

Our country is famed for its dark
haired beauties and reams have
been dedicated to the elaborate,
exotic hair routines of our
queens as opposed to Western
counterparts. A quick glance at
relics from Mohen-jo-Daro to
Ajanta reveal that our ancestors
favoured long locks styled in
braids and ponytails, embellished
with tons of gold ornaments.
This is one tradition that ceases
to go out of style. You will see
it at weddings and religious
festivals, outsmarting the buns
and coiffures. Women these days
even opt for extensions or faux
braids to add that sashaying
oomph factor. Add a dash of
contemporary accessories to
elevate the look to perfection!

Africa
Afro-textured hair appears
and feels denser than straight
hair and their hairstyles were
developed to show tribal
identity, marital status and
fertility. In many African
tribes, communal grooming
was a social event when a
woman could socialize and
strengthen bonds with other
women and their families and
the commonest style was
hair braiding. Black soap for
shampoo and Palm oil for
conditioning are traditional
items. While today, African
women experiment with
hair textures and go for
smoothening, traditionally,
their hair was sculpted into
braids, coiffures of different
shapes and adorned with tribal
accessories to represent their
origins. The model sports a

EAT PRAY LOVE
The story of one womans mid-life crisis and a long and fulfilling journey of self-discovery.
Incidentally, the way we wear our hair is an expression of our moods, not only
in that moment but also of where we are in our lives. In the upper half of the
poster, Julia Roberts character has embarked on a journey of self-discovery,
a jumble of nervousness and apprehension, punctuated by joy and laughter.
Roberts looks happy here but has a long way to go in her journey, her soft
brown hair, relaxed yet tied up in an inconspicuous ponytail, keeping with
her casual look. Her hair in the bottom half, towards the climax of the movie
however says a different story. Roberts character has finally found love; her
light blonde hair left open and naturally wavy now, indicative of the long
journey she has been on and at last found peace.

BIZARRE
INDULGENCES

KILN SAUNA
The Korean way to rejuvenate your senses could almost completely burn you alive. Almost.
The kiln sauna, also known as the han jeung mak, is actually a setting to make charcoal,
which acts like a human furnace when the temperature cools down to 200 degrees Celsius
from its original 1400 degrees Celsius. Its known to make you sweat through every pore
and drain the various toxins out of your body. Youll find yourself wrapped in a jute blanket
in a cave-like structure with burnt pine or oak tree wood all around. Since the decline in the
demand of charcoal, kilns are a rare sight but you can now find their modernised version
called Jimjilban. So, do you care for an intense sauna?
SAKE SPA
Trust the Japanese to actually execute the weirdest of ideas. The Hakone hot springs
theme park is known for staging pools of sake, the classic rice wine of Japan. The people
love diving into the strangest of things like coffee or ramen noodles to being with.
Although, we shant try to decode their thought process but it sure sounds fun.
BEER BATH
Hasnt it always been a fantasy to dive into a pool filled with beer by the end of a long
day? Well, the Czechs dared to make it happen. The concept of beer essence for our
beautification is not alien to us but this is taking it way too far, isnt it? Youll find yourself in
barrels or tubs filled with beer by the brewers exclusive recipe. Not just that, youll also be
served unlimited beer of your preference to keep you hydrated through the process. So let
go of the stress in the best possible way!
CRYOTHERAPY
Ever imagined living in Antarctica? The only land down south that mercilessly shrugs away
us humans with its extreme temperatures. Not being able to handle defeat, we seemed
to have dialled it up a notch by coming up with something all the more devastating.
Cryotherapy, the most extreme form of relaxation that might even end up redefining spas,
or at least challenge the soothing sensation we associate with our extensive spa sessions.
Youre lured into what can only be described as the coldest chamber on the planet. Your
mind would be baffled by the intensity of adrenaline rushing through your body; were
talking -130 degrees Celsius; that officially frowns upon Antarctica, which flaunts merely -92
degrees Celsius at its best. The ecstatic stimulation makes your body release endorphins,
the happy hormones, proven to instantly relieve pain. The moment your body gets back to
the room temperature after the quick session, your blood vessels expand and give you a
healing effect. Its quite famous amongst the athletes now that its spreading far and wide.
Make sure you awaken the adventurer in you and experience it all!

our ancestors to heal their skin; this can help overcome these

WAYS TO DETOX
Coming to the point, here are different
ways to detoxify your body with their
respective effects on your skin, beauty
and overall well-being:
Liquids
PAMPER
Massage: Weve always loved some
pampering, havent we? A detox massage
is excellent to get rid of toxic waste
because of the rhythmic strokes that
stimulate the body. It enhances the
immune system, strengthens the muscles
and toughens the connective tissues.
Swedish or Chinese massages are also
very effective and they help in normalizing
oxygen levels in the body while giving you
a relaxed feeling.
Sauna
Sweating it out is the best way to detox.
Studies have shown that saunas help
remove solvents, organic chemicals
and heavy metal toxins from the body.
Spending time in sauna can also give your
immune system a boost.
Stimulation
Brushing your skin with a fine bristle brush
helps to exfoliate toxins from the skin and
stimulate circulation. You can do this by
using a loofah or natural fibre body brush
on your skin by brushing with firm circular
strokes before you jump in the shower; this
will help in skin detoxification and aid in
better blood circulation.

C
ultivated in regions blessed with a cool climate,
apricots are believed to have been carted across
trade routes from China to the Mediterranean
Europe and then across the world for the delight
of fruit lovers. Bursting with delicate aromas and taste,
these sweet, juicy golden-orange fruits with velvety
skin are a lovely summer treat. Dried, using different
techniques, they are available throughout the year, making
them an easy, nutritious and satiating snack that can be
conveniently carried and enjoyed whilst travelling as well.

APRICOT OIL
Apricot oil is obtained by pressing the
kernel, the almond- like seed inside the
shell in the heart of the fruit. The oil is
light in texture, has a mild fragrance, is
easily absorbed, and is a good source of
nourishment for the skin. Apricot kernel
oil has excellent anti-ageing properties
as it has essential fatty acids that
nourish the skin. Its application helps
firm and nourish the skin, improves skin
elasticity, relieves dryness and makes skin
soft and supple. It can be used for young
and mature skin and is well suited for dry
and normal skin, explains Rahul Kale. Enjoy
the sweet smelling, smooth and revitalised
complexion with the goodness of apricots!
Tasty, nutritious, easy to digest, high in bre, For those with an oily complexion, it is
preferable to blend a few drops of apricot

added to food, to beverages and desserts.
FULL OF GOODNESS
Narratives state that apricot was the only fruit tree on Noahs Ark as
it was deeply valued. They were called `golden eggs of the Sun by
the ancient Greeks, who were delighted by the fruit brought back by
the armies of Alexander the Great from their incursions in the East.
Dried apricots were also traded by the Persians, greatly increasing
their presence and appreciation.
