2.when i visited india,i used a powder that had a great smell,and it was very good for the skin..my mom collected orange skins and lemon skins,totally dried in sun,with rose petals and korai kizhangu(available in stores-naatu marundu kadai in tamil),green gram,vetiver and kasturi manjal powder,dried in sun and powdered in a mill shop..
3.honey and lemon with semolia works great for bleaching hair when it is used continuously(massage in circular motions after it dries)
4.nowadays,we the ladies,without any patience,are using razors to remove hair..that is very bad and we totally end up with thick hairs..those who didnot use razors,not even once,are very lucky...pls don't use razors..this is my beautician's advice..instead waxing is better...

what is semolia where do we get it in what form will it be

for hair care.
use hibiscus leaves grind it to paste in mixie and add besan flour
and apply to hair
alternatively use hibiscus leaf paste along with with methi seeds powdered and besan flour. the hair becomes smooth and gives a good valume

Thanks a lot
what is semolia?

semolina is rava/soji.. i think we can use the rava we get for cooking.. am i right ramya??

Hi Deepi,

Semolina Is Nothing But But Upma Rawa Or Sooji .

hello everybody,
wow...i have got so many comments and i have not checked for these for a long time..ok..sorry karthi,i don't know anything about vaseline hair remover..i used only veet which is good and as other friends said,semolia is rava.Thank you very much all for the messages
thanks

hi grace, coconut oil is enough for ur daughter i hope..u can use soaked green gram and methi seeds as a hair pack which will prevent hair loss..u can also use curd grinded with soaked methi seeds and apply as hair pck which can remove dandruff and promote hair growth
thanks

Hi Rya,
Very nice and useful tips.Thank you.
But I have some queries for removal of unwanted hair.
Can anyone tell me how safe s it to use hair removing creams, like Anne French, for clearing unwanted hair in pubic area............
and also any more options for removal of upperlip hair other than threading and waxing??????????

hi cheers ,
to remove unwanted hair in pubic area,Anne French is worst! please avoid anne french..u can get ur hair growth by second day plus hair becomes hard and there is 90% chance of rashes on the particular area..i feel shaving s best only on pubic area and there are so many women rasers which does the work better and expensive too..but the work will be neat..in beauty parlours they will have one secton for waxing pubic area..but for that,we have to have some boldness to show and keep our mind ready to bear the pain(hope no gents are reading this forum)..for upper lip hair,apart from threadin and waxing,i can say only kasturi turmeric application..no other method i heard..and u can also buy epilators which is designed only for face..but i have not used it..so i cannot say the results..
thanks
