For this week the questions for @Ladiesofhive - Contest #202 are:
1️⃣ Given the influence of global beauty standards on our perceptions of hair, many individuals strive for thick and strong hair to achieve their desired styles. Hair loss can be particularly distressing and is often perceived as a significant issue. Have you experienced hair loss yourself? If so, how did it impact your emotional well-being? Were you able to identify an effective solution, or have you found ways to cope with it calmly and confidently?

2️⃣ Quality conversation is widely regarded as a crucial component in building and strengthening relationships. In your opinion, what constitutes a quality conversation? What elements do you believe enhance the quality of our interactions? Could you share a personal experience where improving the quality of your conversation led to a noticeable improvement in your relationship?

Hair is one part of me which I am very particular about. The only thing for which I visit a Salon is for hair treatments. Not that I do much with it, but the normal hair cut and spa is mandatory once a quarter. Otherwise I follow all home remedies on day to day basis for my hair care.
I prepare a hair mask at home which I use once a week, the hair mask is a mix of onion peels, nigella (kalonji) seeds, fenugreek, curry leaves, flax seeds. All of this is first roasted and then grinded into fine powder. At the time of use I mix a little aloe gel and coconut oil and then apply it to the hair and leave it for 2 to 3 hrs and then wash it up. Trust me over the years doing this therapy has kept my hair strong and healthy.

When I shifted to middle east one common story I heard from everyone was of hair loss because of the hard water and I was so scared of it and since then I started this therapy which is now 9 years and it has helped me a lot. Not only it has helped me with healthy hair but also it has taken care of the greying part with aging. I am 50 now and I still do not use any hair dye, my hair is natural and black and many do not believe me when I tell them that I do not color my hair. I have a few grey strands but they cannot be seen, it gets hidden under the black hair. I also have a oiling routine, which is twice a week and I use a herbal oil which has been very effective.

This is all about my hair care routine. Good hair is a surely a confidence booster for me.

On the second question, for me a quality conversation happens when both the people have the ability to listen to each other. Normally I see conversations get lost or gets interrupted losing it's essence when the opposite person does not have good listening skills. For an effective conversation to happen the most important thing needed is effective listening skills and that's what enhances the quality of the conversation.
