You Can Get Free Pads And Tampons In This Country

by

Just let us start by saying, that sanitary products for women should be free everywhere! Not only that they are not free of charge, they are quite pricey due to being taxed. Condoms have always been traditionally given for free for education purposes. However, women have been raising their voice asking governments to make pads and tampons free. Scotland on the other hand, has officially become the first country in the world to approve this proposition. Now on, you can officially get free pads and tampons in this country.

Scottish Parliament Approves Free Sanitary Products For All Women

In fact, the legisltaion has been in discussion since 2016. As sanitary products for women are taxed in most countries, as if they were products for luxury. However, feminists argue that women didn’t choose to have periods, and that pads and tampons should be free worldwide.

The Scottish parliament voted almost unanimously to be the first country in the world to change that. In addition, there were 112 votes in favor, 0 in against and only one abstention. Furthermore, the second step of passing the bill could witness some amendment propositions. The products are to be made available free of charge, at community centres, youth clubs and pharmacies, at an estimated annual cost of 24.1 million pounds ($31.2 million).

Women Spend Almost 2000$ On Such Products

This new law is supposed to come as a consequence to research showing the unrealistic cost of such sanitary products. According to a study, women spend almost 2000$ on period related products in their lifetime. Not only does the figure concern pads and tampons, but also PMS medication, and of course, »the pink tax» that’s added to sanitary products for women.

Scottish lawmaker Alison Johnstone asked: “Why is it in 2020 that toilet paper is seen as a necessity but period products aren’t? Being financially penalised for a natural bodily function is not equitable or just.”

The Right Path Towards Normalizing Menstruation

This is actually not the first time Scotland makes an impact regarding this issue. In fact, back in 2018, it became the first country ever to provide »free sanitary products in schools, colleges and universities.» This initiative comes as an attempt to normalize menstruation, especially for the young women of the country. In addition, according to parliament member Monica Lennon, this new introduced »bill» aims to promote gender equality, and change perception about women’s bodies.

We have prepared for you in Cachet, 5 natural ways to get rid of your greasy hair without suffering too much in the process.

Don’t Wash It That Often

If you already wash your hair more than once a week, then you are draining your scalp from natural oils. Furthermore, over-washing a dry scalp will make it produce even more oils to rehydrate. Therefore, try to stretch the frequency and schedule washing your hair with your workout calendar as one of many natural ways to get rid of greasy hair.

Use Dry Shampoo

Moisturize With Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is known to have many benefits. It has been used as a natural remedy for hair and skin issues since forever. Experts actually recommend using a coconut-based conditioner to have silky, and shiny hair. Moreover, using coconut oil as a frequent treatment will eventually allow to lift oil off the scalp and roots, while adding some much-appreciated deep hydration.

Apply Shampoo Properly

One important factor to having greasy hair is not dedicating enough time to the washing process. In fact, applying shampoo properly, and rinsing it well after is key. Since residues of the shampoo cause your hair to produce even more oil, and possibly even dandruff.

For that reason, always make sure to »massage» your scalp without using your nails. Press gently and focus on the scalp rather on the length of your hair. Then, make sure to deeply rinse and clean with warm water. (Hot water damages your hair!!!)

Stop Playing With It

Yes, maybe you like to play with your hair when your stress at work, or let your boyfriend run his fingers through it. However, touch actually makes your hair more oily. Think about it, all the dirt on your hair will literally stick on your hair. In addition, Brushing and touching your hair frequently can stimulate oil glands, which will make your hair look dirtier and more greasy much quicker.

Post-Shower Tips For a Naturally Straight Hair

by

After covering that showering too much is hair damaging, we want to show you how to care for it post-shower. Some girls want to have straight hair, others wanted it wavy or curly. Although we depend pretty much a lot on ceramic based tools, they are not the healthiest choice for our hair. Instead, we have gathered four hacks for naturally straight hair.

Almond Oil Conditioner

You should be using almond oil to care for your hair. Dermatologists argue that almond oil helps hair grow healthier. In addition, it will give you silky shiny hair while nurturing the scalp to avoid frizzy hair. In order to obtain this miraculous conditioner, just mix mix 2-3 drops of this oil into a coin size of conditioner and apply it from root to tip. Leave it for few minutes (as you do with conditioner) and then rinse it off.

Egg Mask

Egg yolk is precisely known for its various benefits for the hair. It repairs, strengthens and smoothes it. The magical potion includes mixing egg yolk, some essential oil, and few drops of lemon juice. Beat it until it becomes foam. Then, use it as a 30 minutes mask before taking your regular shower. The next day, you will not need your straightener.

Brush and Wrap Your Hair

It is really important to brush your hair carefully after a shower. As the scalp is most sensitive when drowned in residuals, you need to be extra soft on it. In addition, you need to remove those fallen hairs that got tingled with the rest of it. We recommend that you brush your hair every 5 minutes after showering, until you can run your fingers smoothly through it. Then, put it in a bun and wrap it a clean cloth until dry.

Braids

Finally, and after properly brushing your hair post shower, try braiding it. If you find it uncomfortable to sleep in a bun, relax, you can make small overnight braids and sleep fine. The next day, you will have straight and slightly wavy smooth hair.
