This month’s theme: Hair
Hair care
1 strand, 2 strand... Oh forget it! There’s no need to count the strands on your head. You have about 100, 000 strands of hair on your head (someone must have been pretty bored). Think of it as 100,000 babies you have to take care of. And just like babies, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all method to care for your hair. So unless you want to wake up daily to a battle with your hair, you better start taking care of your hair!
One of the most obvious ways to care for your hair is by washing it. You have to choose the right shampoo or any effort to take care of your hair will go down the drain. To choose the right shampoo, you have to determine your hair type. The easiest way to determine your hair type is to ask your parents. After determining your hair type, if your hair is (here's the plan):
Dry hair: Dry hair should be shampooed every other day. Using a lighter conditioner will allow you to keep your hair from getting oily, letting that shampoo bottle take a bit of a rest.
Normal hair: Normal hair can be shampooed every day, or every two days .
Oily hair: Oily hair should be shampooed according to how oily the hair is, however shampooing every day is usually necessary. If you notice your hair is oily even after it is washed every day, it might be necessary to contact a dermatologist since oily hair comes from a scalp malfunction.

Other than washing your hair, eating healthy works too. There are 10 top foods that help your hair to be healthy and they are: salmon, dark green vegetables, beans, nuts, poultry, eggs, whole grains, oysters, low-fat dairy products and carrots.
It might not sound very appetising but it will be good in the long run!
And there you have it! You now have a truckload of information that has been shoved down your throat! Enjoy having healthy hair! JJJ

French Braid...
Are you getting bored of tying your hair in a usual ponytail, or in a strange horsetail-like plait? Well, here's a new style for you to try that might just be the hairstyle you're looking for. (Note: this hairstyle may be slightly tricky to do at first. So, if you are planning on wearing it to school, do know that you would take up quite a bit of time.)
1. First, brush or comb your hair and get rid of any tangles. There's no way you can do this with tangled hair.
2. Separate one section of hair from the rest at the top of your head. Although high french braids are more popular, you can have a lower one by starting with a sectionnear the middle of your head. This will make the braiding process faster, but you could potentially end up with a big fat braid.
3. Divide the lock of hair into three smaller parts.
4. Cross all sections over once, like you would for a normal plait.
5. This is the important step. Add a bit more hair to one of the three parts before crossing it over again. Keep adding more and more hair to each part as you plait down your head. Remember to alternate between adding hair from both the right and the left, otherwise your braid could end up lop-sided and messy.
6. When there is no more hair left to add, continue braiding the rest of your hair as you normally would as far down as you can reach. Then, tie up the bottom of the braid to keep it from unravelling.
There you have it! A lovely french braid to wear out, to school, or to take a photo of and post on Facebook.
