Laser Vs. Waxing- Kaya Skin Clinic I had attended a meet by Kaya a few days back..where we were explained everything about laser..the in depth technical knowledge by Dr.Narmada..the two types of technology used..ND YAG and Diode..and the benefits of laser hair removal over waxing.. I also got a small patch test done..and it did not hurt at all..felt just like someone pinching..
Here is the official press release..
Not just hair-free skin, its SATIN SMOOTH SKIN this Summer
Benefits of laser hair free reduction will make you say NO to waxing
100,000 women at Kaya have said NO to waxing, enjoying the freedom of hair-free, satin smooth skin with Kaya’s Permanent Hair Reduction! This summer, we want you to join these women and enjoy the freedom of wearing summer outfits every day without having to bother about your pending waxing appointment, awkward hair-growth after shaving or dark patches caused by hair removal creams.
Kaya Skin Clinic, segment pioneers & experts in the Indian market brought about a revolution of freedom from hair for discerning Indian women.
Kaya HairFree is a permanent laser hair reduction service, which reduces the number and thickness of unwanted hair. Laser Hair Reduction services provided by Kaya, uses US FDA approved ND YAG laser technology that has been certified to be highly safe for Indian skin. Absorbed by the dark colour (melanin) of the hair, the laser beam safely targets the hair follicles without causing any harm to the surrounding skin, in turn reducing your hair from the roots and preventing further growth.
With the expertise & success of a decade, Dr. Narmada Matang, Head Medical Operations, Kaya Ltd. demystifies this revolutionary service and talks about the benefits of Laser hair reduction over other methods of hair removal.
Convenience: Kaya Hairfree is a more convenient & less time consuming method over waxing. Each underarm session for instance, takes not more than 5 minutes
Hair reduction: This treatment can reduce number of hair by a whopping 70-90% in just 5 sessions. A quick comparison with waxing shows that it takes decades of sessions for hair growth to be reduced, and by a rather minuscule percentage
In-grown Hair:Waxing rips the hair out of the roots to give you the desired hair-free skin. Although, the hair is left with a tip often below the skin, which starts to grow inwards. Kaya Hairfree addresses in-growth problem by permanently putting a stop to hair growth. Infection if any, caused due to wax could also be treated through this process in quick sessions
Less discoloration and scarring: As a result of ingrown hairs and irritation or itching after shaving/waxing, many women develop discoloration called post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. With the permanent reduction of hair by Kaya Hairfree most of the discoloration goes away, leaving your skin flawless and scar-free
Softer, smoother skin: Most women state that their legs feel stubbly only 2-3 days after shaving and after a few more days post waxing. Laser hair reduction on the other hand, results in softer, smoother skin after each treatment. The small percentage of hair that remains is treated into turning thinner, and lighter in colour.
Skin Infections: Waxing can also lead to skin infections if not supervised whereas Kaya Hairfree is done under a dermatologist’s supervision
Kaya Skin Clinic has been the preferred beauty soul mate of women for a decade and urges you to follow your heart and BE READY to enjoy that summer bliss like never before!
This summers..they are offering one session of underarms lasik at the cost of waxing.. To help you win the dare of going sleeveless for this summer and all other seasons, Kaya invites you for a session of their revolutionary Permanent Laser Hair Reduction service at the cost of waxing. You can avail of this limited period offer in the months of May and June to get freedom from unwanted underarm hair forever. To add to the excitement, you could also choose to avail of the remaining 6 session package at a 40% discount!

When In Doubt, Throw It Out: Makeup Has Expiration Dates
Guest Post
You know that perfect shade of lipstick you bought two years ago on vacation in Paris? The one that you save for special occasions? It may pack more of a punch than you realize. Old cosmetics present a major risk of infection. The risk is even worse if you share cosmetics or if you can’t resist trying out the latest shades at your local department store makeup counter. Although it may be difficult to part with some of your favorite cosmetics, your health may be at risk if you continue to use them.
Eye Makeup
Eye makeup holds the greatest potential for infection and has the shortest shelf life of all cosmetics. Some dermatologists recommend replacing eye makeup after only three months. Liquids and creams, especially mascara, can potentially cause serious eye infections. Styes – inflamed oil glands at the edge of the eyelid – along with itchy, red eyelids and swelling around the eyes are some of the less serious potential problems that can occur with eye makeup that has passed its safe shelf life date. Contact lens wearers are at special risk of infection from using contaminated eye makeup.
Natural Cosmetics
So called natural cosmetics often have a shorter shelf life than conventionally manufactured cosmetics. This is because many natural cosmetics are plant-based, which makes them especially susceptible to bacteria. An oatmeal bath soap soak is not nearly so relaxing when you discover you’re sharing your tub with mealworms that have been feasting off the soap you’re using.
Creams and Lotions
Many dermatologists advise that creams and lotions begin to go bad after about six to twelve months. If lotions and creams are in pump bottles, they may remain good longer because you’re less likely to dip your finger into the bottle. However, moisturizers in jars that you apply with your hands may be ready for the trash bin after six months, because every time you dip your hand into the cream, you’re potentially contaminating it.
Powders and Lip Colors
Powder makeup and lipstick in a barrel may be safe to use for about twelve to eighteen months. Lip gloss may also be good for about eighteen months. However, if you’ve used your hands to apply the cosmetics, that will shorten the shelf life.
Preventing Infection
Besides discarding old cosmetics, keeping cosmetics clean and away from water will help ensure that they are safe to use. Never share cosmetics with anyone. Your BFF may be like a sister, but you don’t want to pick up a cold sore on your lip from trying out her hot new lipstick shade. Trying out sample cosmetics at department stores is also a risky bet. If you must sample a new shade, do so with a clean cotton swab, not your hand.
Be especially careful with eye makeup. Do not apply eyeliner on your inner eyelids. If your mascara dries out, toss it. Don’t attempt to extend its usefulness by running it under the tap to rewet the brush. Resist the temptation to make your lipstick or blush do double duty as eye shadow. Even though you’re using it on your own face, bacteria from your cheek or lip may cause an infection through a small tear in your eyelid.

Editor: I would like to add an usual safe period for a couple of things.
NO parabens, sulfates, silicones, petrochemicals, glycols, phthalates, synthetic colours or perfumes
MRP: Rs.640/- for 200ml, Rs.200/- for 50ml
As you read above, it is completely free of all chemicals..and it totally natural.. Omved Brahmi & Peppermint Shampoo comes in a long pump bottle..its a runny liquid with a brown tint..smells soo strongly of peppermint..like ‘polo’ !
Brahmi and Peppermint are supposed to be very good for the hair..brahmi strengthens the hair and peppermint helps in circulation as mentioned above..
At first, it needs a lot of qty to completely cleanse the hair..also coz its SLS free..and so does not foam much too..cleansed hair well, helps in frizz and also gives a smoother sleeker look to hair..but if you looking for volume or bounce, then this would not help..also it did not help in dryness and conditioner was needed after this..
This is a 50ml bottle..which lasted some 6-7 uses..so it definitely is quite expensive..
Pros:
1. Cleanses scalp well.
2. Helped in frizz and made hair straighter, sleeker.
3. Lovee the peppermint smell.
4. Has no chemicals and parabens and all natural.
5. Pump packaging is convenient.
Cons:
1. Expensive !
2. Needs a lot of qty to foam and clean the scalp.
3. Will not give volume.
Overall its a nice shampoo..and if you like straighter hair..and not a fan of volume, you can give this a try..also if you love peppermint smell..its available HERE at natural mantra.
I would recommend checking out NaturalMantra.com for other paraben and SLS free options..there is Soultree, Omved, Rustic Art, Just Herbs, Auravedic, Tvam, Neev, etc for shampoos or other bath and body products..more so for baby products too..you do not want to use all those chemicals on your baby for sure..also they have Stevia…which I am ordering soon..a natural sugar substitute..if you are on a diet, a diabetic or just want to avoid sugar but cannot give your tea or coffee a miss, you should try Stevia !

Some everyday tips which we at times ignore, and that does affect our mane.
Do not over-wash your hair
Many think that they should be washing their hair every day, when, in fact, every other day is best for your hair. Otherwise, you risk stripping your precious strands of the vital natural oils that they need to keep their moisture and strength. If you want to get rid of greasiness between washings, consider purchasing a dry shampoo. On the days you do a complete wash, Use a high-quality shampoo and conditioner that is formulated to build strength and restore moisture. It is important not to compromise quality for price when it comes to conditioner, because it really does make a difference.
Use a leave-in conditioner
It can be very beneficial when you are trying to grow long hair. It adds a layer of protection you your locks, and makes combing wet hair effortless. This reduces hair breakage significantly, which leads to healthier and longer hair. One leave-in conditioner that works really well is “Let It Be” leave-in conditioner by TIGI.
Avoid heat styling
If you feel like you must heat style, use a heat tamer or heat shield product. It is also important to use blow driers, curling irons, and straighteners at the lowest heat setting possible for the effect you are trying to achieve, and never apply heat for an extended amount of time to one particular part of your hair. When purchasing your heat styling tools, it is better to purchase brand-name products. They may cost a little more, but many of them have unique designs intended to cause less damage to the hair than their cheaper counterparts.
Protect your hair from your surroundings
Your everyday environment can be one of your hair’s worst enemies. Things like extreme cold, wind, humidity, and pollution can all lead to broken, brittle, and damaged hair. Take precautions like wearing a hat if you plan on spending the day in the sun, and always make sure your hair is completely dry before going out in cold weather. There are a variety of different treatments that are made to protect hair from these stresses, and also many to repair damage that has already been done. Products containing keratin have been found to be very beneficial in protecting and treating damaged hair, and many believe Moroccan oil is even better. Another time that hair is subjected to stress is while you are sleeping. Tossing and turning on the pillow can cause friction that leads to hair breakage. It is a good idea to use a satin pillow case, and if your hair is very long, secure it into a loose braid or consider wearing a hair net to bed.
Do NOT brush your hair when wet
Brush your hair with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb. When hair is wet, it is very elastic and easily causes breakage.
Get rid of the split ends
You may want to visit your local salon if you have any split ends. Do this about every six to eight weeks. Doing so will make your hair appear much healthier.
Brush your hair and/or stimulate your scalp
Stimulating blood flow to your scalp is another proven way to speed up the growth process as well. Massage your scalp while conditioning for 2-5 minutes. However, take care to brush your hair with soft bristles and not to brush too often. Brushing your hair stimulates the scalp, but it also can cause breakage and will pull healthy hair from your head, making your hair look thinner.
