How to Look Good when You Wake Up

Remove all makeup before going to bed. Do not sleep with any makeup on; otherwise, it's almost guaranteed to smear overnight and ruin your skin as well as your look in the morning.

Rinse your face with hot water to open your pores and prepare your skin for a deep cleanse. Using the tips of your index and middle fingers, lather facial wash across your face in circles, scrubbing thoroughly. Then use cold water to rinse off the cleanser and close your pores.

Take care of your hair before going to bed. If you sleep with unkempt hair, it will only become worse and more entangled in the morning. If you take nighttime showers, it's a good idea to wait until your hair air dries and then brush through it before going to sleep. Alternatively, blow dry your hair and brush it.

Brush Your Teeth the Night Before. Brushing your teeth at night is actually proven to be more important than brushing your teeth in the morning. If you don't, your teeth will be very noticeable and gross in the morning.

Chapped Lips. People often have chapped lips when they awaken in the morning from all night of no lipgloss, lipstick, sunscreen, chapstick, or liquids! To try to prevent this, put on chapstick and drink water before and after you wake up.

Never try to sleep with wet hair.

How to Give Yourself a Scalp Massage with your fingers

The beauty of this massage is that it can be done anywhere without the need for anything other than your fingers.

1. Sit down somewhere comfortable. The less distractions, the better so that you can concentrate on what is happening. However, there's no harm squeezing this into the ads of a favorite show provided you press the mute button!
   
2. Place the fingers of both hands on your forehead. They should meet one another at an imaginary center line of your forehead. Rest the thumbs on your temples; they will provide support.
   
3. Apply pressure. Make the pressure firm but light, as you press, then release.
   
4. Shift your fingers slightly further up your forehead nearer to the hairline and raise your thumbs with them. Repeat the press and release movement.
   
5. Keep moving this position up and onto the scalp, bit by bit, repeating the pressure/release movement. Follow the line of the Governor Vessel meridian (see "Tips"); approximately the center of your scalp.
   
6. At the top of your head, apply pressure to your head at the acupoint Governor Vessel 20. This is located about three quarters of the way on the top of your scalp.
   
7. Move down the back of your scalp now. Release the pressure from the acupoint Governor Vessel 20 and continue pressing down the center of your scalp line. As before, continue moving the fingers down in the same position, while moving the support thumbs down at the same time.
   
8. Once you have reached the the base of your skull, return to the front. This time, position your hands about half an inch (1.27cm) either side of the mid-line of your head (in other words, this time your fingers won't be meeting but have a gap either side of the imaginary line across your forehead).
   
9. Do the press and release movement as before in this new position, moving up and then down the scalp as before.
   
10. Return and repeat. This time, make the gap between your fingers and the center line of your head 1 inch (2.5cm) either side. Your fingers should now be almost on the sides of your head.
    
11. Again, do the press and release movement in this new position.
    
12. When you feel adept at this massage, synchronize it with your breathing, inhaling and exhaling as you press and release. This will help to calm you as well as allowing you to focus on the releasing tension to leave your scalp feeling refreshed.
    

How to Prevent Balding? Here is your answer.. :)

Steps

How to Prevent Balding on Howcast

1. See a doctor

   Consult a doctor to discuss your options. Besides genetics, a hormone imbalance, scalp infection, medical condition, certain medications, and even stress can all cause hair to fall out. Knowing why you're losing your hair might help you stop it.
   

2. Be gentle

   Be gentle when drying your hair. Vigorous towel drying – rather than patting your hair dry – can break hair, as can frequent blow-drying, especially on a hot setting.
   
3. Lighten up

   Limit wearing your hair in styles that tug hair at the scalp, like tight ponytails, pigtails, cornrows, and hair extensions. The stress on the follicles can lead to a type of permanent hair loss called traction alopecia.
   

4. Use dandruff shampoo

   Use dandruff shampoos that contain zinc, which has been shown to promote modest hair growth.
   

5. Stop smoking

   Stop smoking, or don't start in the first place. Researchers have linked it to hair loss.
   

6. Try topical or oral medication

   Talk to your doctor about the topical solution minoxidil, available over-the-counter as Rogaine, and the oral prescription finasteride, known by its brand name, Propecia. Eight out of 10 Rogaine users stop losing hair after several months of applying it twice a day. Propecia slows hair loss and grows visible hair in about 50 percent of patients.
   

7. Try laser treatment

   Try laser therapy, which may stimulate hair growth by increasing blood flow to hair follicles. Some dermatologists and many hair-loss centers offer in-house sessions, or you can purchase a laser comb or brush that you use at home.
   

How to Treat and Prevent Dry Itchy Scalp at Home

Instructions

[1] If your normal shampoo is not helping to heal your irritated, dry scalp, switch to one that will. There are several out there. Use a shampoo for dry and itchy scalp. These types of shampoos are a little stronger than your daily shampoo, so be sure to follow up with a good moisturizing shampoo.

[2] While shampooing, massage your scalp for a few minutes with the pads of your finger tips. Avoid vigorously scrubbing your scalp and scratching with your finger nails. This could cause infection and make the issue worse. Also, avoid piling different products on your scalp. This could clog your pores causing more itching, thus causing more dryness.

[3] Use tea tree oil to massage your scalp. This is a natural oil that usually comes in a small bottle. It is very potent so you should use only a tiny bit. Tea Tree oil is an anti fungal oil. It is very effective in treating dry and itchy scalp and preventing infection by killing bacteria. Before you shampoo your hair, take a dab of this oil and massage it on your scalp for no more than 10 minutes. Then proceed to wash your hair as normal.
