It’s not enough to be beautiful on the outside. Healthy skin, hair and fingernails also need a little help from the inside. We looked at the labels of two nutritional supplements: Nail, Hair & Skin Connection from Rainbow Light, and Skin, Hair & Nails from Natrol to compare their contents. Both have vitamins A, B6, B12, and C, thiamine, riboflavin, biotin, zinc, copper, and methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM). Natrol has Vitamin E, cysteine for elasticity, and glutathione to fight against free radicals, while Rainbow Light is stronger on its B vitamins and mineral-rich botanicals. Both recommend two caps a day. If you’re already taking in supplements, don’t expect a major change.

Dermatologists from the University of Manchester have found that the said product in question, does indeed work as claimed, proof of the much hyped advertising, it works, for real.

Most dry shampoos that are used for heavily styled hair (washing ruins those expensive curls and styling) come in either spray form (why dry?) that sends it all over the place, on your face, clothes and many other places that it ruins and can affect. So why not go for some really dry shampoo that kinda looks like dried up shoe polish complete with a brush on top so spread the mixture all over your hair.
