BRUSHING UP ON BRISTLES Looking for the perfect brush for your hair type? Obviously, brushes come in all shapes and styles, so here are three tips that will help you comb through the tangled assortment;

THE LATEST HOT AIR ON BLOW DRYING--While blow dryers are no doubt a great invention, the fact is too much heat is bad for the hair and follicles. The best safety lock for this gun is to avoid setting it on maximum power and to keep the dryer at least 20 cm from your head. Remember, you can blow dry the hair up to a point where it is still a little damp, and left to dry on its own. It takes a bit more time but it will help alleviate split ends, static electricity, and scalp problems. An easier way to protect your hair is to apply Franklin Philip's Volumizing Foam-In Gel. This revolutionary liquid gel contains thermal protectors and a sunscreen that buffer the hair from excessive heat and possible damage.

SHAMPOO VACCINE--Believe it or not, scientists may replace painful vaccine injections with a vaccine shampoo. In a revolutionary discovery scientists developed the shampoo vaccine after finding that the surface of the skin offers a better immune response than an injection into the skin. The research from The University of Alabama will be published in the journal, Nature Medicine. According to research the skin is so effective at repelling outside substances that a normal vaccine cannot absorb. However, when a virus is linked with the vaccine via (shampoo) it safely acts as a carrier, allowing the vaccine to penetrate the skin. This would also be a boon to developing nations that are short medical personnel and will also help eliminate the transmission of HIV and other diseases through needles.
