  • Soak the  fabric in this water for about  30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Rinse the cloth and give a normal wash.

Chocolate Stains :

  1. Remove excess chocolate by putting the garment in the freezer and scrape the hardened chocolate off.
  2. Hold the fabric in hot water down the back of the chocolate stain to melt it and push it through to the front.
  3. Apply detergent on the stain and soak the garment in little milk for 30 minutes to an hour.
  4. Give a normal wash.

Berry Stains :

  1. Rub lemon juice over the top, or lay a slice of lemon on the stain.

 Tomato Stain :

3. Repeat the steps 1 & 2 if necessary and the wash the cloth using detergent.

Oil Stains :

1. Apply dishwashing liquid or washing detergent on oil stains. Soak in for few minutes.

2. Use hot cycle, and repeat if necessary.

Blood Stains :

1. Prepare salt paste using cold water.

2. Rub the salt paste on the stain and leave it for half an hour.

3. Rinse cloth using cold water.

Remember: If it is blood stain – do not allow stain to settle down on the fabric. Quick action is necessary to remove the bloodstain.

Wine stains :

1. Blot or dab the excess liquid on fabric.

2. To stop steeping wine stain into fabric, apply salt to soak excess liquid

3. Neutralize stain by applying white wine.

4. Prepare baking soda paste using little water and apply on the stain.

Pregnant Governers

These Governors are Pregnant (Wo)men!

This experiment was conducted in Japan to help and support economy and bring educated women to into the workforce as a top priority to fix the economy, heeding calls to make better use of a highly educated but underemployed labor pool.

A woman while working inside home and outside at a job to earn money for the family has to do lot of chores. In Japan, studies revealed that men only did approximately one hour of chores everyday while women engaged in about five hours of chores.

Japanese men are not very helpful husbands when it comes to housework: they do just one hour of unpaid work daily compared to five hours for their wives, according to a 2014 study by the 35-nation Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Watch Men in pregnancy video here:

To encourage Japan’s salary men to help out at home, the Kyushu Yamaguchi Work Life Promotion Campaign created a video that showed three male governors in Japan experiencing a day in the life of a pregnant woman.

In response to these studies, the governors of the Saga, Miyazaki, and Yamaguchi prefectures put on pregnancy suits to attempt to understand what women endure when they’re expecting.

A trio of male Japanese politicians- the governors of the Saga, Miyazaki, and Yamaguchi prefectures  has gamely strapped on “pregnancy vests” that simulate swollen bellies in a lighthearted campaign for men to pick up the slack in a nation where women do most of the housework. These politicians strap on a 16-pound vest to simulate pregnancy. Though it doesn’t simulate any of the side effects of pregnancy, the sheer weight of the suit has caused 97% of men to agree that men need to be involved more in the home and with child-rearing after wearing the suit. Very quickly, they learn how even simple household tasks can be a major pain when carrying around that extra weight.

The three-minute spot, which started running last week, shows the hapless lawmakers being outfitted with seven kilogramme (16 pound) vests that mimic the belly of a woman who is about seven months pregnant. Then it is time to clumsily navigate stairs, carry groceries, or wait for someone to give up their seat on the bus. One politician struggles to put on socks, while another wipes sweat from his brow after hanging a load of laundry, as an upbeat tune plays in the background.

“I really didn’t understand,” admitted one of the participants, Yamaguchi governor Tsugumasa Muraoka. “Now that I understand what my wife put up with for so many months, I’m full of gratitude.”

“I can see how hard it is to be carrying a child and do house chores,” says 52-year-old Shunji Kono, the governor of Miyazaki prefecture. “I think I have to be much kinder,” the father of three adds in the above video.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has made drawing more women into the workforce a top priority to fix the economy, heeding calls to make better use of a highly educated but underemployed labor pool.

After a hair transplant, what can you do?

After a hair transplant, what can you do?

Hair transplants are becoming increasingly popular and common. Many people struggle with thinning hair for a variety of reasons.

“Thinning hair can affect someone’s self-esteem, whether it’s caused by age or other underlying conditions. Hair transplants are performed for cosmetic reasons by some people, which is perfectly acceptable,” says Dr. Ankur Singhal, who has among the leading hair transplant centers in India.

Regrow Hair Clinic’s Medical Director, Dr. Ankur Singhal, specializes in two advanced cosmetic and hair transplant procedures FUE and Dense Hair Implantation.

There are some effective treatments for hair loss, but nothing beats hair transplants for speed and effectiveness.

The procedure can be painless and straightforward with today’s technology. The importance of aftercare, on the other hand, cannot be overstated.

Many plastic surgeons will provide post-surgery instructions, which you should carefully follow. For more information on hair transplants, continue reading.

Procedure for hair transplantation

According to Dr. Ankur Singhal, the expert hair transplant surgeon from India, the most prevalent and requested hair rejuvenation procedures are follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE).

These procedures entail removing healthy specific hair follicles from a donor area on the scalp with thick hair development and transplanting them to bald spots or pattern baldness areas (recipient area).

The specialist will pierce minute cuts within the scalp for natural-looking results and implant the follicular grafts with special consideration and precision.

The grafted skin strip may have a linear scar, but this will be hidden when more hair grows naturally around the area.

Aftercare for hair transplants

After you’ve had your hair transplant surgery, you’ll need to take care of yourself.

“Taking hair from the same scalp and transferring it to another area is one thing. However, because it is still surgery, there will be some side effects, even minimally invasive,” says Dr. Ankur Singhal.

It can take 2 to 3 months for new hair follicles to accept and grow new hair after the transplant fully.

The new hair growth may be uneven at first, but it will eventually fill in. Most patients see their desired results in 10 to 12 months, though this can vary depending on the amount of hair transplanted and the patient.

According to Dr. Ankur Singhal, the excellent hair transplant surgeon, you can only get a full head of newly grown hair if you’re willing to put in the effort for the aftercare.

Do not wash your hair right away.

Do not wash your hair right away.

Let your hair air dry for a few days before washing it. Because your scalp may still be sensitive, use the gentlest strokes possible when washing your hair, especially on the newly grafted areas.

Don’t be alarmed if a few hair strands fall out. This is normal as long as the amount of hair fall is within your normal range.

Use only gentle shampoos and conditioners on your hair.

Shampoos are essential, especially those designed to address specific hair issues such as dandruff and hair loss.

Whenever possible, use organic and gentle shampoos. You could also try baby shampoos, which are specially formulated for sensitive baby skin.

You can still comb your hair if you want to. When brushing out tangles, don’t go at it with your usual zeal.

It’s best to use your fingers to untangle the knots. If you need a brush or comb, make gentle strokes rather than pressing them into your scalp.

For long periods, avoid direct sunlight.

Because of the sensitivity of your scalp, exposing it to the sun for an extended period can easily result in sunburn.

That isn’t to say you won’t be able to go to the beach after your procedure. Protective hats can be worn, but make sure they are loose and the right type for your head shape.

Are there any repercussions from a hair transplant?

“Although hair transplant is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, it can still have unfavorable side effects if the patient is not informed,” says Dr. Ankur Singhal.

Because the procedure may cause pain, your doctor may prescribe over-the-counter pain relievers. Swelling is to be expected not only around the grafted area but also across your entire scalp.

Itching is also a possibility. When this happens, keep your fingernails away from your scalp to avoid irritating it and causing bleeding or broken skin.

These are fairly common and expected side effects, and they should subside in a week or so. If they persist, make an appointment with your surgeon for a checkup.

When wearing a headpiece, what precautions should be taken?

Patients who have had hair transplants are usually advised to wait for a minimum of ten days before wearing headpieces such as hats, headbands, hoodies, and other accessories.

Consult your doctor first if you want to wear one. The consensus is that a loose, easily adjustable cap can be worn, but this depends on the type of hat.

To allow your scalp to breathe, don’t wear it for more than 6 hours at a time.

You can also change your wardrobe to avoid coming into contact with your scalp.

Choose button-downs or tops with wide necklines so you can easily slip your head in. Remember to take care of your accessories and clothing the way you did when you put them on.

During the healing process, your best words are gentleness and caution.

Will Scalp Micropigmentation Affect the Growth of My Hair?

Will Scalp Micropigmentation Affect the Growth of My Hair?

For those suffering from chronic hair loss, scalp micropigmentation is one of the most effective cosmetic treatments.

In this article, Dr. Gajanan Jadhao, who provides one of the excellent Hair Transplants from Kochi, Kerala, has discussed micropigmentation and will it affect your hair growth.

Many people prefer the method because it is convenient, safe, and long-lasting.

However, there are a lot of questions about the cosmetic procedure, especially about the long-term effects on hair follicles and hair growth.

What Is Scalp Micropigmentation and How Does It Work?

Hair tattoos, also known as scalp micropigmentation, are a painless and straightforward tattooing technique for users.

This simple procedure uses microneedles to spray tattoos on the bald, hairless scalp, creating each hair meticulously and naturally.

According to Dr. Gajanan Jadhao, Kochi’s best hair transplant surgeon, like other permanent makeup cosmetic tattooing procedures, this technology uses tiny tattoo needles to inject ink into the epidermis of the scalp.

Tattoo ink will be drawn to simulate the shape of short hairs in various directions and positions to reduce baldness. Scalp micropigmentation is one of the effective methods for assisting those suffering from hair loss.

According to Dr. Gajanan Jadhao, scalp micropigmentation is suitable for men and women aged 18 and up, especially those with thin, sparse hair, a high forehead, or an exposed area of the scalp that needs to be improved.

Scalp Micropigmentation

The Perks of Scalp Micropigmentation

The procedure has many advantages in comparison to other currently available solutions in the market, namely:

  • You don’t need to use a wig.
  • The treatment process is quick and does not take as much time as using hair growth stimulants.
  • It does not affect the user’s health.
  • It does not cost cream like the conventional hair transplant method.
  • Create natural hair color that is identical to your real hair, making it hard to detect.
  • Capability to edit the bald section tattoo spray as per aesthetics and preferences.
  • It can be applied on a large area of ​​men’s skin, shaping the forehead for people with too high forehead defects.

Basic Scalp Micropigmentation Procedures

Dr. Gajanan Jadhao, an excellent hair transplant from Kochi, Kerala, says,” Scalp micropigmentation, like other forms of permanent makeup such as lip tattoos, eye tattoos, eyebrow tattoos, or tattoos, is a simple procedure. It occurs quickly and does not necessitate hospitalization.”

The following is a typical procedure for scalp micropigmentation:

  1. Consultation and examination: First, the experts examine the baldness condition and the customer’s wishes. After that, choose a reasonable treatment method and shape the hair to complement the face.
  2. To clean and shape the hair mold, follow these steps: The specialist then begins to disinfect, and clean the scalp that will be treated while also shaping the hair.
  3. Topical and local anesthesia: Customers will be sedated to ensure that they do not experience any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
  4. Conduct scalp micropigmentation: The specialist will use a clean sterilized micro-needle to meticulously and precisely spray tattoo ink in various sizes on the previously determined position to simulate the fiber. Short hair grows in a beautiful, natural way that does not irritate the scalp.

Will my scalp’s hair follicles be affected by scalp micropigmentation?

There is a common misconception about scalp micropigmentation, which is that it will harm your hair follicles and therefore affect your hair growth.

This is a complete myth, as scalp micropigmentation will not harm your hair follicles. During the procedure, a tattoo is utilized on the scalp.

It’s sometimes used to fill in rifts within follicles and increase density.

A structure surrounds a hair follicle made up of cells and tissue called a hair follicle. It’s found in the skin’s epidermal layer. The hair root emerges from the follicle’s very bottom, deep beneath the skin’s dermis layer.

At the hair’s root, blood veins produce protein cells. Hair follicles are much deeper within the skin, so they will be safe and unaffected even if the tattoo is applied directly above them.

What Happens If My Hair Growth Slows Down After Scalp Micropigmentation?

Hair growth goes through stages of acceleration and deceleration. If someone who has had scalp micropigmentation notices less hair growth, it is not related to the procedure.

It’s just a natural part of the hair growth process.

Each hair will permeate and fall out during its lifetime, but it will go through four cycles:

  • Anagen: This is the period of extensive growth, which can last from three to seven years.
  • Catagen: This is known as the transition period, which can last up to a few months.
  • Telogen: This consists of several months of resting.
  • Exogen: The period in which new hair increases continuously.

Is it possible to continue with regrowth procedures following Scalp Micropigmentation?

Without a doubt! If you still want to use regrowth products or arrange hair transplantations following your scalp micropigmentation procedure, you can.

The effectiveness of other medications is unaffected by scalp micropigmentation. However, if you have recently had a scalp micropigmentation treatment, we recommend that you wait at least 6-12 months before getting a hair transplant surgery, and vice versa.

Conclusion

It’s understandable to be concerned about scalp micropigmentation’s potentially harmful effects on your body.

Now that you’ve gotten that out of the way, you should try scalp micropigmentation! Don’t be concerned that the procedure will prevent hair from growing or harm hair follicles. They’re not going to go through with it.

It’s practical, attractive, and has few to no adverse side effects. This is the ideal solution for those experiencing hair loss who want to regain their confidence and self-love.

6 Reasons You Should See a Neurosurgeon

6 Reasons You Should See a Neurosurgeon

Neurosurgeons are medical professionals who specialise in performing complex operations on the brain. Interestingly, brain surgery constitutes only a small portion of the work performed by neurosurgeons.

They are concerned with the entire nervous system, and they treat every part of the body that has been affected by nerve problems.

In this article, Dr Gurneet Shawney who is one of the best neurosurgeons in India shared his expertise on when you should consult a neurosurgeon.

Dr Gurneet Singh Sawhney is a neurosurgeon who is a member of India’s new generation of ultra-modern neurosurgeons. He is widely regarded as having exceptional expertise in the treatment of complex and critical brain and spinal cord disorders in India.

IN FAR TOO MANY CASES, SURGERY WILL BE THE LAST ALTERNATIVE

Neurosurgeons spend the majority of their time diagnosing patients’ symptoms and developing progressive, minimally invasive treatment plans for their patients.

Neurosurgeons only perform surgery when there are no other effective treatment options available. When it comes to illness, they prefer to take a conservative approach whenever it is possible.

Despite popular belief, neurosurgeons can also treat “common” diseases such as back pain, migraine headaches as well as more serious conditions such as cancer.

When any of the symptoms listed below are present, you should consult with a neurologist immediately.

  1. NUMBNESS AND DISCOMFORT

It is common for people with sensory nerve damage to experience persistent numbness, particularly in the extremities.

Sensory nerves can be found under the skin as well as in the muscles of the body. They are responsible for returning information to the brain. Numbness, burning, tingling, or pain can result if the nerves are unable to perform their functions properly.

  1. AN INABILITY TO KEEP A GRIP

It is possible for the hand to lose its ability to grasp objects as a result of pain or loss of sensation. Typically, this occurs as a result of swelling in the wrist as a result of an injury or illness.

As the wrist swells, it compresses the median nerve, resulting in pain, tingling, and/or loss of sensation. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the medical term for this condition.

Carpal tunnel syndrome emerges gradually. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible after noticing even the smallest of symptoms in order to avoid further worsening of the condition.

  1. HEADACHES THAT DO NOT GO AWAY

Dr Gurneet, one of the top doctors from India notes that the time to see a neurosurgeon is when the head hurts for several hours or days at a stretch. In addition to nausea and light sensitivity, persistent headaches or migraines are frequently associated with other symptoms.

They occur when over-excited nerves incorrectly cause veins and arteries to narrow, resulting in the release of chemicals that cause discomfort.

A neurosurgeon will work with the patient to determine the source of the migraine headaches and develop a treatment plan to help manage or eliminate the headaches completely.

HEADACHES THAT DO NOT GO AWAY

 

  1. DIFFICULTY IN MOVEMENT

Inability to move smoothly, tremors, shuffling, and uncontrollable bodily movements are all symptoms of impaired movement.

There are several possible causes for these symptoms, including a malfunction of the central nervous system, a side effect of medication, or head trauma, among others.

A neurosurgeon is the most qualified professional to determine whether or not a serious underlying condition exists.

  1. SEIZURES

Seizures are typically associated with violent convulsions and loss of consciousness in most people’s minds. Frequently, they are softer and more subtle in nature. A seizure can occur even while a person is sitting perfectly still.

A person who has suddenly begun having seizures should seek medical attention and treatment as soon as possible to avoid further complications.

  1. ISSUES WITH DIZZINESS OR BALANCE

Being dizzy or lightheaded can happen to anyone at any time, and it’s perfectly normal. However, if this appears to be happening on a regular basis, it is not a positive sign.

In the event that you are walking around and feel dizzy on a regular basis, or even lose your balance and fall, it is likely that you need to see a neurosurgeon.

SEE THE DOCTOR SOONER RATHER THAN LATER

You should not downplay symptoms that keep coming back. Visit a neurosurgeon to find out and treat the root cause of any discomfort you may feel. The sooner you find out what is going on, the sooner you can get the care you need, says Dr Gurneet, one of the leading Doctors from India.
