Myths about hair care

 

• Shampoos – only for cleaning

The only work shampoo does is clean scalp. A shampoo works only on the surface of the head and cleans it. It does not reach the hair roots and there is no way it can clean that far. No shampoo can change the nature of your hair, make it less frizzy, more bouncy, shiny or enrich it with protein and vitamins.

So don't waste your money or fall into the trap of the brands that promise you protein rich volumising shampoos.

•  Conditioner – only for conditioning

A conditioner can soften your hair, allowing detangling and easy combing. The effects are not permanent and you will have to use conditioners regularly to keep it going. But if you have greasy hairs and hair loss problems, using a conditioner will worsen the situation.

Think several times over before using a conditioner on a greasy scalp.

• Oiling – no magic cure

If you are wondering why you keep losing hair despite oiling it since childhood, its because oil only conditions and moisturises your hair. It does not prevent hair loss, does not nourish your hair, does not make it grow long and thick; does not avoid hair whitening and most importantly does not reach the roots to perform any of the other magic attributed to it.

IGNOU – Worst Distance Learning University

Dear All,

Think twice before choosing IGNOU for distance learning, please read the following

• IGNOU does not send you the study material, you have to go and collect it from your study centre. Surprising for a distance learning course.
• Whenever you call them for enquiry, you will get no response or a rude reply from the concerned persons.
• Study material can be collected only hardly 2- months before your exam date. Very difficult to prepare for examination.
• All your grievances fall to deaf ears.
• Hall tickets are received after your exam. From last 2 exams I am writing exams just by showing my ID card and exam fees payment receipt.
• Assignments evaluation is ambiguous and contribution of your assignment marks into your final result is almost nil.
• Study material is useless. You don't find many topics in there.
• Every semester they are increasing the admission fees, from 700 to 800 to 1000 per subject now.
• Results are delayed, almost after 3-4 months from the time you write your exams, and your assignment marks are not displayed till you run 100 times to your study centre collect the assignment marks personally and send it to your regional centre. Surprising isn’t it.
• Valuation and grading is confusing. Even after writing exams and seeing the results it is still not sure whether you have cleared the paper or not.
• Their website structure keeps changing every month, you cant find most of the details in there.

Friends, this is my true experience, there are much more better universities for distance learning, therefore think twice before joining IGNOU.
