  Hair sense  
 

 
Commonsense Plus [csp] inferences makes Haircare simplified. This page was mentally worked out in end 1990 and then came the invention of Swapna in May 1991. That is the power and utility of this page

     

Polishing the Leather
   
  Clean the surface first with a dry cloth. Apply the polish in all areas. It contains extra oil / wax for protection. Spread it uniformly. It will lubricate the material and keep them soft and supple. Brush well.  Polish it finally with a soft cloth. 

We do all that to maintain our Leather Shoes nicely. The shoe is normally made out of dead buffalo's hide / skin. Even the dead skin has to be cleaned and oiled regularly. We learn it almost daily. 

We bother about the easily replaceable shoe, but with our skin, we use a different, unproven, science


 
 
Preserving the wool 
   
  Use only a soft soap or a mild detergent. Do not soak too long - not more than 15 minutes  Rinse well. Do not squeeze. Allow the water to drain out.  Dry it in Shadeonly, with a hanger. Use low temperature for Ironing. When not in use, cover them properly. Protect it against moths.

These are valuable  instructions for the protection of the woolen clothes. We obey them. The wool is  from the sheep's hair and we care. It is costly. It is common sense. What aboutour hair ?


 
 
Lubricating The  Paper to count
   
  The Paper bundle looks nice. We sweat to gather more of them. 

Be they new or soiled, some of them stick together due to static electricity. We use saliva or water pad to separate the stuck papers and count. Even Government Employees know that, whether they earn it or get it for nothing, in wallet, brief case or suit case - if they are called Currency Notes. 

Will not a touch of Oil, which is slow in evaporation compared to water, lubricate the hair better and avoid static electricity, clubbing of hair, prevent needless pulling while combing and the split ends ?


 
 
Amalgamated Dollar and Colour mania 
   
  We have to put on a Tie to  look smart and important -  the outside World and the strangers on the street should know who we are ? 

In Summer too, even if the temperature is over 40 degrees Celsius  [ 104* Fahrenheit.]  the tie is needed. Why bother that it is intended to cover the neck from getting hit by cold breeze in cold Countries - follow the West and the White blindly. Why care, if the skin boils a bit ? [ Sanity may come if Dollar gets back to Rs 4 as in 1957. Dollar Value and not Conviction blinds many]

At times, even in Summer, a woolen suit is used. They look better. The fall / creasing is excellent. It can impress others. 

The proactive Judges too, do not bother about this senseless apparel. They too practice it. No wonder that the courts are going from bad to worse. Why should judges analyse them, if it does not get publicity or employment with perks till age 75 and beyond ?

 We became independent long back  - but independent and bold in thinking  ?

 

Rationlisation - our extra strength
   
  The head should not get heated up, the Doctor says. Not even 2 degrees Fahrenheit more !  We do take a pill or two to bring down the high fever during illness. We are scientific and obey his dictums

What if the Climate is hot - Say, 40 degree Centigrade in Central India in Summer, 6 degrees above the body's normal temperature in Fahrenheit scale ? Will it heat up the head, slightly ? Who needs to care ? Who needs a Hair oil, even if it can give some protection as a filter / cloth to the head ?

Common sense guides the poor villagers. They use a simple cloth over the head. The city persons cannot do that. It does not command much value like a Management Degree, Computer Engineering, a mobile phone etc. 

In India, anyone can notice that the normal villagers have more hair compared to educated, city persons. We lock up commonsense in the name of fashion. Can that get the hair back ? 

 Rationlisation, special for humans, empowers us to justify even irrational ones


 
 
Price for Vanity and show - Sleep Walking 
  India has produced 6 or more Beauty Queens in the last 12 years starting with Sushmita Sen.  The personal care Companies in America and the West have been given favourable opportunities to peddle their ware to the vast and bulging 300 Million Indian Middle Class section -  more than the population of America. 

The last beauty queen was Reita Feira in 1967 or so, as I recollect now in 2007. For 25 years, there was no beauty queens. And now there is a flood. Do you get that !

All these foreign companies continue to earn substantially since a decade. L Oreal registered 49% growth in India for 2004. And other companies like Revlon, Amway and others have also gained. 

The next burst of beauty Queens will come from Africa !


 
 
Haircare that deserves Salute even today
   
 
Draupadi swore by her hair and kept it too, after 13 long years. 

She had the guts to swear by the hair confidently. It is indicative that people around that time had the power / knowledge to preserve the hair. A poet does not write in a vacuum.

A British Queen could not save her hair and Alexander Pope wrote a mock epic, Rape of the Lock. Incidentally, only on hair, has an epic been written.

How many have repeated this feat of Draupadi till now, despite umpteen facilities ? And she was in the Vanvas [ lived in the forests] for all those years. She had only Nature and Sense to guide her.

Follow her methods or care about the hair in the right way. Umpteen excuses and hundred thousand products do not measure upto a pin head, if seen clearly with Common Sense
