Hair Growth: 7 Natural Home Remedies for Hair Growth
Get rid of those expensive, chemical leached hair products, and say hello to natural remedies. There’s nothing like making the most of what nature has to offer. Our hair is made up of a protein called keratin that is produced in the hair follicles. As follicles produce new hair cells, old cells are being pushed out through the surface of the skin at the rate of about six inches a year. The hair that you can see is actually a string of dead keratin cells. An interesting fact is that an average adult has about 100,000 to 150,000 hair strands and loses up to 100 of them a day. Therefore, finding a few stray hairs on your hairbrush is not necessarily a cause for alarm.
raw onions
Onion Juice for natural hair growth is a time-tested and popular solution for hair fall.
Here are 7 easy and effective home remedies for hair loss. Most of the ingredients for these quick fixes are available in your own kitchen!
1. Onion Juice for hair growth
This remedy is regarded as one of most effective and oldest ones. The reason behind is that it contains sulphur that boosts collagen production in the tissues and helps in the re-growth of hair. Don’t let its strong smell keep you away from using it, because it goes off just after one rinse.
How to use Onion Juice for your hair?
To try this remedy, cut a few slices of onion and squeeze out its juice (either by mashing it or grating it) and apply it on your scalp for about 10-15 minutes. Let it work its magic and then rinse it off with a mild shampoo.
Quick tip: You can substitute this with potato juice as well.
2. Coconut Milk for natural hair growth
According to Dr. Blossom Kochhar, Chairperson, Blossom Kochhar Group of Companies, the most effective remedy for natural hair growth is the use of coconut milk because it is rich in iron, potassium and essential fats. Her remedy, “take coconut milk from a fresh coconut (do not purchase the coconut milk - take it out meticulously from a fresh coconut). To it add half a squeeze of lemon, 4 drops of essential lavender oil. Mix it thoroughly and apply it on your scalp, leave it on for 4-5 hours and then rinse it off.”

3. Apple Cider Vinegar – This vinegar gently cleanses the scalp and maintains the pH balance of the hair thereby accelerating hair growth. Start for making a diluted solution by mixing 75ml of it in one litre of water for a larger batch or 15 ml of it to a cup of warm filtered water for a smaller batch.
To apply this solution, use it as a final rinse after washing your hair. This will also give your hair an added shine and boost hair growth. We are sure, you'd love these home remedies for hair growth.
4. Make your Own Egg Mask – This home remedy is used all over the world for quick and natural hair growth. As we know, eggs contain high levels of proteins which help in the formation of new hair. It is also rich in sulphur, zinc, iron, selenium, phosphorous and iodine.
For the egg mask, separate one egg white in a bowl and add one teaspoon of olive oil ( you can also use grape seed oil or lavender oil )and honey. Make a paste of it and apply it all over your hair and scalp for about 20 minutes. Rinse it off with cool water and some shampoo.
Quick tip: Egg masks work wonders for a glowing and healthy skin.
5. Fenugreek– This herb is also an age-old remedy for hair growth problems. It contains proteins and nicotinic acid; protein-enriched

Donald who...?
Biden gave the state of the union address last night and have to say Joe wasn't sleepy in the least bit. He was clear, powerful and covered many topics stating facts and figures, especially with border security.
Good job Joe...
I didn't expect them to chant "Four more Years, Four more Years"

Is Joe Biden an AI
"AI robocalls impersonate President Biden in an apparent attempt to suppress votes in New Hampshire"
I have watched a few videos and in my opinion Biden could in fact be an AI
his disjointed movements and speech patterns,his pauses as he seems to reboot, all classic signs of the puppet masters trying to drive this robot in real life situations

HUMILIATION: Creepy Joe’s SOTU Address Receives Worst Polling in Past Quarter Century
While the left salivated over Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address, the polling numbers tell a different story.
Even the far-left Washington Post has acknowledged that the figures do not match up to the hype.
In a report on Friday, the paper admitted that while the left vociferously praised Biden’s divisive, rambling and angry speech, it is “not so clear the American public saw the home run that they did.”
The report noted:
Democrats would like to believe that President Biden changed the 2024 game with his State of the Union address Thursday night, demonstrating verve and combativeness amid concerns about his age and mental acuity.
Biden’s campaign and some media outlets have pointed to a post-speech instant CNN poll showing 65 percent of viewers offered a positive review of Biden’s speech. Viewers also shifted 17 points toward believing the country is headed in the right direction — from 45 percent before the speech to 62 percent afterward.
It went on to explain that these positive polling numbers are somewhat of a red herring:
What’s also true is that State of the Union speeches almost always receive strongly favorable views, in part because viewership tends to draw disproportionately from their allies.
The 65 percent who had a positive view of the speech was actually lower than any such speech CNN has polled in the past quarter-century — the previous low being Donald Trump’s 2018 address (70 percent).
And the 35 percent who offered a “very” positive review was effectively tied with Biden’s speech last year (34 percent) for the lowest on record. The next lowest were Biden’s 2022 speech and George W. Bush’s 2007 speech, which each earned “very” positive marks from 41 percent of viewers.
The speech, which involved Biden repeatedly falsely claiming success over issues on which he has dismally failed, was best summarized by Tucker Carlson over on the X platform.
“Joe Biden is actually a cruel and vicious demagogue,” he explained. “A man who has no problem at all denouncing his fellow Americans and putting his political opponents in prison as he has done.
“That was possibly the darkest, most un-American speech ever given by an American president,” he continued. “In fact, it wasn’t a speech, it was a rant, entirely lacking in decency or generosity to his fellow Americans.”

LVP - Luxury vinyl planking aka sticky planks
Anyone tried this, used this, have any tips to offer on this? I have hideous tiles in my kitchen / living room and decided after some research* that LVP was a good interim measure (right now I can't afford the kind of tiles I'd like) and I've got half the kitchen done (the easy half) and am beginning to think I bit off more than I chew. My usual expert for the tricky bits is ill, I've an enthusiastic husband (not my own) offering to help with the finishing (if DIY guy is still sick next week) (there's a deadline of 20th March, no pressure eh?) but he said cheerfully he knows nothing at all about LVP but how hard can it be
So while I am taking a break and trying to stop my fingers sticking to the keyboard, I wondered if anyone has done it for real because it doesn't seem quite as straightforward as the videos with experienced DIY guys / girls made it look. They were gaily enthusiastic but there are breaks in the recordings which I am now eyeing with suspicion.
*I'd never heard of it before, I was looking at laminate click-together flooring and that led to vinyl click-together and then to the self-adhesive type. Shorter life but easier maintenance / repair / replace bits, and "So Easy To Lay". I am quoting.

Biden’s campaign speech to other Democrats: Fact Checked.
Before the fact checking, did I hear Biden say an illegal Alien killed a young American Woman and then he got this Woman's name wrong even though her name is clearly on the medallion he held up for others to see during his campaign speech on March 7, 2024?
Not wanting to be replaced as the democrat candidate for POTUS in 2024, mr Biden needed to show his Party last night that he is strong…. so he shouted almost everything. For the most part, It was so sad that Only his Party cheered during his campaign speech.
“While President Joe Biden largely stuck to the facts during his thirdState of the Union address political campaign speech Thursday March 7, 2024, on several occasions he overstated the truth, left out key context or was simply wrong.”
Ok back to fact checks…..
“In a wide-ranging speech on issues including inflation, border security and conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, Biden on multiple occasions attacked but never identified by name – his Republican opponent in November, former President Donald Trump. But in contrasting himself with his challenger and making his case for a second term, Biden occasionally strayed from the truth.
For example, in addressing the critical campaign issue of the economy, he touted the inflation rate in the U.S. as “the lowest in the world” – even though dozens of countries, including G7 nations Canada and France, have rates that are lower.
Here are other claims the USA TODAY Fact Check Team dug into.
-- Claim: Trump told Putin, ‘Do whatever the hell you want’
“Speaking at a campaign rally in Conway, South Carolina, on Feb. 10, Trump suggested he might not come to the aid of NATO member states attacked by Russia if they aren’t contributing enough money to the alliance, USA TODAY reported.”
– Claim: US inflation rate is the lowest in the world
“Inflation has dropped from 9% to 3% – the lowest in the world!”
However, the latest data from the International Monetary Fund shows the U.S. has a higher inflation rate than dozens of countries
Read more here:
Other observations (more later):
— President says America is safer today than when he took office. Meanwhile, the Democrat Governor of New York is sending the National Guard into the subway to protect folks.
— I never heard knew Kamalala was in charge of WH office of gun violence.
— Catholic Joe segues into "reproductive freedom." Ten o'clock mass tomorrow?
— Joe says he's creating American jobs right here in America. Okay, then.

Bad Leadership updates: for those 50 Million who will vote for Democrats .....
..... for those 50 Million who will vote for Sleepy Joe please think again.....
by the way, NOTE: This thread is about the Joe Biden's bad leadership. All unrelated post will be towed away sooner or later.
"So here's what I don't understand. President Biden is obviously having a very hard time governing, but millions of Americans don't seem to mind. If the country voted tomorrow, Mr. Biden would get more than 50 million votes. He would lose with that, but 50 million is A LOT, as Donald Trump might say.
And it is the specter of another Trump presidency that is Biden's strongest asset.
Joe is not Don.
But think about it for a moment. What kind of leader creates a disaster like the open border? Who does that? Even Warren Harding didn't do anything that foolhardy, and Warren was a dunce.
And what kind of leader slaps onerous regulations on the fuel industry in the name of global warming, failing to understand that higher energy costs will ignite inflation? Who does that? Not Herbert Hoover. As bad as he was with the great depression, he didn't start it.
And what kind of leader calls the Afghan withdrawal a complete success? Jimmy Carter didn't come close to doing that, and his foreign policy was brutal.
So, for all you Biden voters, a simple request: Please think about what the deuce you are doing.
Thanks for reading the message." ~B 'O'Reilly

Have you ever wondered why girls are the way they are?
Many girls on dating sites get acquainted in order to extort money from their boyfriend... and in fact, our society has come to the point that we cannot meet a truly honest and amazing person
And I’m very sorry that when you write to some person, and all he has on his mind is sex and something else that doesn’t coincide with the thoughts of that person who wants to meet and build a really strong family
What do you want?
I personally have been on this site not so long ago, but I constantly come across perverts, but I want normal communication and nothing more
If you are a good person, write to me, I would like to have a normal conversation
I accept everyone as friends, for communication and maybe more

The online dating scene is rough.
Picture this - you match with someone on a dating app and get talking. It goes quite well, and you joke around while still maintaining a somewhat serious getting to know each other type of conversation.
At some point - silence. Not a peep for three days. You begin to form a message in your head like "Hey, did I say or do something you didn't like or approve of? Because if so, I am sorry", only to be met with "profile deleted".
That happened to me - and it's not the first time, which makes me wonder if there's something wrong with me, or if I have to change my whole approach to talking to people online. The only thing I can think I did wrong is jokingly say "I am available at that day. Just saying!" when she named the food she was going to make. Again - it was a joke. I would never force anyone to meet me if they didn't want to. I also made that clear to this person.
I have also experienced being ghosted several times, and being asked for money a few times. One person asked me if my family was rich. When I said no, I was blocked.
Maybe online dating isn't for me. The last time I met someone on a dating app, we went for a coffee but she decided that nothing more would come of it, because of what she called "multiple red flags" - which left me pretty dumbstruck, since I didn't do anything red flag stuff. We walked and talked for an hour, so I am not entirely sure why multiple red flags were shown.
Maybe it was my video gaming, the way I talked or what I ate. I simply don't know, because she refused to say what those red flags were.
Maybe I'll just stay single. It's working out pretty well so far, anyway
