10 Easy Ways to Get Shiny, Healthy Hair



Learn how to shine with these 10 simple tips from one of Daily Glow's resident hair experts, Tippi Shorter. The best part? None of them require a trip to the salon!

1. Say yes to hair serum.
Shine serums are available that have been specially formulated to give frizzy or unruly hair a sleek sheen. Find some great options at your local drugstore, beauty supply store, or hair salon. These products moisturize your hair with a light concentration of oils or silicone, says Shorter. To apply, “use a pea-sized amount to start,” she advises. “Start at the bottom of your hair and work your way up, rubbing it into wet hair with your hands.” It’s important not to use too much serum, because it can weigh hair down, but if you feel you need more moisture, go ahead and add a bit more.

3 Secrets to a Happy Kid

Here's a bug you'll want your kid to catch: happiness! New research suggests that if a child's parents (that's you!) are happy, if her classmates are cheery, if her neighborhood pals are smiley -- well, she's more likely to be sunny, too. Some ways to keep her in the happy-go-lucky loop: 

Stay well connected. Happiness is like the flu, says James Fowler, Ph.D., an associate professor at the University of California, San Diego, and the study's coauthor. The more peppy people you come in contact with, the more likely you are to pick up their good humor. So to make sure your child is fully exposed, join a playgroup, schedule playdates, try to hit the playground when you know there'll be plenty of other kids there.
Stress laughter (not achievement). The fundamental point of human existence has more to do with experiencing happiness than success, says Fowler. Of course, when your kid is older, you'll want to make sure she's getting the best education possible, but for now, opt for fun activities and toys over "brain-boosting" ones. And if you're in the market for daycare or you're ready to check out preschools, consider ones that emphasize social skills and play over drilling the ABC's.
Go to your own happy place. This doesn't mean forcing a smile through gritted teeth while you rifle through that stack of bills on the kitchen table. It means doing something that you know will push your bliss buttons -- crank up some music you really love or take your tot out for ice cream. There's nothing like a chocolate-smeared grin on a little kid's face to instantly perk you up.

4 Ways to Keep Your Baby's Skin Super Soft

Here are some easy ways to keep your baby's skin as soft as, well, a baby's bottom.
1. Give your baby a post-bath massage. Not only are massages a great way to bond with your new baby, they're a great way to keep his skin soft too. According to the MD Moms, the best time for a massage is after a bath because your baby's skin is plumped up and hydrated and it will hold in the moisture from an oil or lotion better.
2. Protect your baby from the sun. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says you should keep babies under 6 months out of direct sunlight—use an umbrella or keep your baby under the stroller canopy. For babies under 6 months, the AAP recommends that sunscreen be used on small areas of the body (like the face and the backs of your baby's hands) if you can't keep your baby completely in the shade. For babies over 6 months, the AAP says it's safe to use sunscreen, but test it on a small patch of your baby's back before using it all over to make sure he isn't allergic. For babies of all ages, think about dressing your baby in hats, lightweight, long-sleeved clothing, and sunglasses.
3. Prevent diaper rash. While a little rash here and there is inevitable according to Dr. Sears, you can do some things to minimize diaper rash such as: change your newborn's diapers every two hours (longer for older babies), change a poopie diaper immediately, clean your baby's bottom thoroughly, use a good diaper cream if your baby needs it (petroleum ointment or white zinc oxide).
4. Use products with baby-friendly ingredients. Pediatrician Alan Greene, M.D., says to choose baby products that are free of harsh or dangerous chemicals. Try to avoid these ingredients: talc, lanolin, and fragrance. They can all potentially irritate your baby's skin. Remember to choose a baby-friendly detergent too—those adorable clothes will be rubbing up against baby's skin.

Does Your Skin Benefit From 8 Glasses of Water a Day


It has been drummed into our heads often that drinking 8 glasses of water a day is essential for good health. Our bodies are made up of 80 % water and it is essential to replenish the amount of water in the body to help the body’s circulatory and excretory functions.

Importance of water to good health

The skin is the largest organ in the body and has tens of thousands of sweat pores through which toxins in the body are flushed out. Skin cells need to be constantly moisturised to stay plump and smooth, and what better way than by supplying skin cells with water?  There is still a lot of debate on the body’s exact requirement of water. While some scientists say that 2 litres of liquid- in the form of water, juices, tea, coffee or milk is sufficient to meet the body’s needs, others say that 2 litres of water is definitely required. What they all agree upon is the importance of water to good health and the adverse effects of ingesting too little water.
