Juicy Chemistry - Chilli, Horsetail, black seed serum/oil review

***Product Review***
Chilly, Horsetail & Black Seed Hair Serum/ oil from @juicy_chemistry

An insight to the major ingredients listed:
🌶️ Red pepper seeds - Chilly seed has anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and analesgic properties.
🌿 Horsetail (குதிரைவாலி) - Has antibacterial properties. This contains silica and selenium which prevents hair thinning & promotes hair growth.
🍁 Black seed - This oil has anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties and Vivo studies have stated that antihistamines in this might help reduces seasonal shedding of hair in Alopecia patients.
.
Oil color: A crimson red.
Price: 1050 INR for 30 ml.
My take on this product: Not satisfactory.😟
.
Pros:
🌟 It has a strong aroma that stays for a while, but I like that❤️.
🌟 Reduced hairfall to an extent.
🌟 Needs only 3-4 pumps for a time, little goes a long way.
🌟 Reduces scalp itching. So a great help for me in that case. ❤️
.
Cons:
🌟 The pump bottle didn't work for me after a month. (bad luck) It doesn't pump the oil anymore.
🌟 Works on scalp, but not much benefit to hair texture.
Repurchase? Uhm, May be not if it works only for the scalp😕.
⚠️
Now looking at the ingredients uses as per their website, I have few more questions on this.😣
. 🔭 It says 'Chilly seed oil has capsaicin as an active ingredient which helps in stimulating blood circulation on the scalp that directly helps promotes hair growth." in the description.🤔
.
🔭 I got into study mode and searched for everything related to "capsaicin and hair growth" and found it rooted back to a study in 2007, which stated "that combined administration of capsaicin and isoflavone might increase IGF-I production in hair follicles in the skin, thereby promoting hair growth".
.
🔭 Yes capsicum has capsaicin and sunflower seeds have isoflavones..but, the conclusion was made after evaluating 'Subcutanaeous administration and oral administration' of these two ingredients, which means they were applied/injected under the skin or taken as oral supplements.
.
🔭 There were several other articles that stated "When included in the diet,it stimulated blood circulation".
🔭 The other ingredient Horsetail, has been revealed by studies to reduce hair thinning when administered as oral supplements.
🔭 So, how effective are these ingredients in delivering what they claim to do, while used as topical application?
🔭 I m no expert of this subject, but just a curious consumer. Please feel free to enlighten me on these. Do send me links to related studies if any.❤️

Busting myth !! Do hair oils really nourish hair follicles? Part - I

Part - 1️⃣ : "This product nourishes hair follicles" is a phrase used by most of the products in the market. But do they actually nourish hair follicles? We'll learn it in two posts..
✨
🔭 Before we invest in anything, we need to understand the basics of hair anatomy & physiology. So let me start explaining some common terms thrown around.
.
🌼 Hair follicle 🌼
It's a sack like structure in the dermis layer of the skin. It's made up of ➡️
.
Tissues and blood vessels that nourishes hair growth.
.
The "matrix" where hair cells proliferate causing hair to elongate and it also transfers the "melanin" to the cells(responsible for your hair color).
.
The hair "bulb" is anchored to the follicle which contains the stem cells (the actual living part of your hair).
.
And finally the "bulge" that regenerates your sebaceous glands (where sebum is secreted).
.
🌼 Hair 🌼
Each hair has hair shaft and hair root.
.
Hair shaft is what we see outside the skin and the hair root lies below the epidermis.
.
Hair root is found deep down in the follicle sac and it's widened end is what we call the hair "bulb".
.
🌼 So how does hair grow? 🌼
.
The hair cells in the bulb rapidly divides at a faster rate. .
Each cell which is hardened by a structural protein called "keratin" are constantly pushed upwards, elongates and are gradually out of the skin. This is what we commonly refer to as 'hair growth'
.
🌼 Hair shaft 🌼
As the hair cells are pushed upwards they are cut off of their nourishment supply and eventually it dies (programmable death).
.
The dead flattened cells overlap on each other forming the "cuticle", the outermost layer of a hair shaft. This is why the outer layer of hair looks like fish scales when shown in ads. (Remember these cells were hardened by the protein called "keratin"? So yeah, these cells are keratinised.)
.
🥴
That's all we need to know about hair growth. Now you might probably have guessed the answer for our question "do hair oils really nourish hair follicles?".. incase if you still have a doubt.. look out for my next post.

Diabetic people should avoid Foot soaks

⚠️⚠️ Are you fan of foot soak?! Sure, their aroma has a soothing effect on us. But can everyone use it? The answer is no. And here is why people with diabetes should avoid using foot soak.
.
🟢Why use foot soak?

Soaking your feet in a tub of warm water helps relieves the pain, alleviates the stress from the day and enhances the blood circulation in the feet.
Foot soak is a mixture of ingredients that increases the benefits of soaking feet in  warm water. The add on ingredients in a foot soak can be anything like cold pressed oil, essential oil, peppermint, apple cider vinegar, rosemary, lavender and many more.
These ingredients are picked based on the requirements and goals of the usage.
They doesn't do anything harmful in particular,But..
.
.
Many studies suggest that the essential ingredient ⚠️⚠️⚠️EPSUOM SALT⚠️⚠️⚠️ used in the foot soak is not suitable for application for most of the diabetic patients. .
.
******Reasons*****
1. Epsom salt is a common name for the chemical compound Magnesium sulfate. And Magnesium supplements are used to keep diabetes in control. Using Epsom salt in the foot soak doesn't help absorbs the magnesium content as much as we think it is, so it is not helpful in controlling the diabetes in any way.
.
.
2.Foot damage is a risky complication for diabetic patients. Poor blood circulation,high sugar level can cause foot damage and the wounds doesn't heal/close easily in case of people with diabetes.
While foot soaks are used for physical and mental stress relief, Soaking foot in water dries out the skin and cause cracks which brings infections.
.
.
🟢What people with diabetes can do instead?
Wash your feet daily with a mild cleanser and dry them. Apply a lotion to keep skin soft and devoid of any cracks
.
To regulate blood circulation in the feet area, do appropriate exercises.
.
.
⚠️⚠️⚠️ So, Never use a foot soak/bath salts without consulting your doctor.

Know your skin type !!

We all love to stock up the products with the ingredients that seems tempting and has a good aroma.

But, do you know what's your skin type? Because each skin type's requirement differs and not everything works for everybody. When you do the right kind of treatments for your skin type, it feels and looks healthier.

If you have been struggling with the same question on your mind , this might help you get started 😊
.
.
🟢Normal skin –  Rarely breaks out. Is not too dry nor oily. Still prone to acne and blemishes. .
.
🟢Dry skin - Hardly breaks out. The skin looks aged due to lack of moisture and fine lines appear more. The skin feels tight, have small pores and visible white patches/flakes on the skin/brow/thigh areas. .
.
🟢Oily skin – People with oily skin are more prone to acne/ breakouts because the excess oil gets trapped inside the pores. The skin looks shiny as soon as you cleanse but starts to look dull as hours pass. Visible oil on the wipes when you clean the face. .
.
🟢Combination skin – Have both the conditions of Dry and oily skin. The nose, chin and forehead area might look more oily and shiny while the other areas look dry. Have enlarged pores. The products used must be the ones that specially is made for combination skin type.
.
.
🟢Sensitive skin – Sensitive to one or more of the certain chemical, food, drinks or ingredients. Results in allergic reactions. People with sensitive skin must never use a product without patch testing. They can also consult a dermatologist to undergo patch testing to get an idea about which substance cause them allergy.

Apart from these, skin that is aging or have a medical condition can also be considered a different skin type.

So... do you know your type now??? 😃

Word of Mouth gone wrong !!

"Word of mouth" is a brilliant marketing formula that any new/old business can relate to. 🟥🟥🟥❌❌But why it isn't always a good thing for the buyers/customers is what I want to talk about. Do read until the end and share your views.

😯Now, what's "Word of mouth" impact in a business ⁉️
When people are benefited by a product, they recommend it to a group of their friends. They in turn spread the word to another set of people.
On the other hand, if a customer is unhappy with the product, they can discourage hundreds of people from buying the product.
So, it is always the customer who impacts the business. If a business provide quality service to their customer, they can reach a lot more customers without having to do any investment in the marketing.

⚠️⚠️❌ What might go wrong with this idea?!
The multi-level marketing companies who perishes by this formula, are most of the times a trap. They initially find people who can be potential distributors and these distributors will be paid to find recruits who can work as distributors as well. In short, their schemes follow a pyramid structure.
Now people who just need recruits who can distribute the products, and the distributors who gets paid according to the number of products sold by them do not think about the quality of the products they sell, nor what risk they are putting the people into.

Most of the time, they make false claims to the buyers, inorder to sell the product. To gain the buyers trust, they add that they have been using the product for long time and are seeing the expected result. They say numerous people from your area have been buying the products.

These are products that you don't normally see online or in a super market. Advertisement about these products cannot be seen anywhere. They just exist, at a very cheap rate. (But quality might be cheap too).
As to the credibility of the benefits of the product or the truth about the ingredients that they print in the packages is always a question. They don't show any visible damages, at the same time they don't do you any good too, because you will never know what you are doing to your skin or body.

Next time, before someone visits your home claiming to sell products from a "famous brand", or someone who's your neighbour wants to sell you some products that a "famous brand" from a "famous place" manufactures..you might need to think again.

Always..always.. Research properly before buying a product. And when you are sensing a scam or false information, alert others too.

Why people prefer joining MLM?
There is no limit to what they can earn from this, and the investment is very low compared to starting up a business by oneself.
They have one motive, it is to earn.

Choose the right product for you ❤️

Hi 😊,
It did take me a long time to write again. Now that I am doing it, I hope I continue to do what I love ❤️
So, Ever wanted to buy something for you...but after an hour you find yourself in a sea of wishlist, all from different brands?
Have been there 😊 did it a lot.

There are few steps that you can follow to get out of this vicious cycle.

Step 1: Know your skin, hair type.

Step 2: If you think you have a problem, say extreme dryness or acne or pigmentation, confirm the same by researching or better, book an appointment with a dermatologist.
 (✅✅✅If you didn't know it already, a dermatologist treat your skin as well as your scalp)

Step 3: When you are aware and know what to buy, do the following things in order:
Note down the products you need -->
 Plan a budget --> Choose a brand that matches your requirements --> Look only for the products you noted down --> Check how the ingredients will work for your problem --> choose the best price for you --> Place the order.

❌❌⚠️⚠️Dont's: Do not stock up products until you know it works for you cuz there is an offer and Do not start using a product without patch testing.

Tadaaa 🤩 it's done now.

It might be overwhelming to see all the products and their reviews in the pages... 🥴🥴 Especially with the e-commerce websites that sell beauty products for offer rates.
We'll see in my next posts about how tricky is ordering a product from the internet.. 😊  #loveyourself

Find the God in you!!

Ever wondered why there has been so many debates when it comes to religion?
Recently, I saw a facebook post, which featured a picture of Ravana, a king of Lanka and a passage on how his side of the story in 'Ramayana' was never understood. Mentioning about how genuine he was to not touch seetha without her permission, to fight for his sister Soorpanaka when she was shamed, and many more.
The post was flooded with comments, some arguing the authencity of the post... Some arguing on the side of Ram and some for Ravana. The thing that occurred more interesting to me was, there were comments by people( which they believe to have cited from the epic 'Ramayana' they read) was itself in contrast to each other.. Nobody can come to a conclusion on which citation exactly appeared to be from the actual story.
People were commenting 'Get your facts straight, read the epic first' on every other comment that wasn't considered true by them. And I believe this chaos was due to the different versions of the epic that has been read and listened to.
If you have closely watched, there don't exist any such things as the other side of the truth in science.
Because, if something like that did exist, it totally nullifies the previously existed theory. There can exist only one version of anything in Science..
No, this isn't me choosing science over religion. I am just detailing the differenece between the two.
The God that we believe in, exists with a different name, different appearance, different preachings according to the petty things that has been said to us.
Don't find your God in the Religion. The only God that can exist is within you, within every people's heart.
Find the God in you,in everything that you do.
Find the God in every other people you see on this Earth.
Don't limit God in a shape, in a stone, in a religion.
Believe that the feeling of oneness is the ultimate way to feel God.
We have taken the tale stories so far, let us not feed anymore versions to anyone.
Let us not succumb to the lunacy that we are trapped within so far. Enlightenment comes from within.. And it comes, when you don't want to live limited to tales anymore.
The presence of God is not limited to anyone or anything. 

A point of view!!

I have been always asking to myself, Why people waste money on something luxurious and talk about poverty at all !.. Why can't they just help people who are poor instead of spending on petty things?? Won't that make our country a better place??
Well, right now, I understood i was so stupid for thinking it that way and irrationally convincing myself that was a better idea..
And you know why?
We always tend to look only at the 'big picture', forgetting the small pieces that made it.

If you closely notice.. you can realize that, nomatter what you spent your money on..it benefits many people..

I see many similar controversial topics regarding this due to the lack of another perspective ..
When we spend for watching a movie, we pay for all those who worked for it.. We pay for the people working at the theatres.. We pay for all the artists..
We might also think why the main roles are paid huge amounts?? Simple because they work for it.. They work day and night sacrificing their health, time spent with their family..and most of the time they can't even eat what they love...
Also, If they are good at something why should they do it for free? ..
Hundreds of artists work with them and they are getting paid for their works too..

We only recognize the top factor when we spend and keep barking at them for being paid more. If at all we can see the efforts they put into everything they do.. it's justifiable..

When you buy something online, you pay for the product as well as the service they provide.. You may never know how many people worked for that pair of earrings you ordered to be delivered at your doorstep.
The product may or may not be worth of the price you pay.. But remember, you chose that out of all the available options, in the first place.

So where exactly lies the problem??
Is it with them? No... It is with us, who can't handle the jealous that grew within us... So we try to reason everything, try to bring down everything that is above us.. If they are successful in their field, they are hardworking or smart or simply good at that field..
Therefore it's in our hands who gets benefitted... It may be the one's that actually worked or the one's who gains by other's stupidity...

You think you don't agree with what i said??
Not a problem at all :) All the above said ideas and reasons now remain totally in my perspective of understanding the situations.. It doesnt holds to be the truth... Because, TRUTH is an illusion..
There can exists many forms of truth.. Your truth.. My truth.. And as for universal truth.. It never exists..

Left Rotation - Hackerrank - Level: EASY

Hi friends,
It is so long since I coded in Hackerrank :)
Its time to revive back those memories ..and before I make a head fall into it.. I thought a little warm up is good. Here is one level easy program.

Problem Statement:

A left rotation operation on an array of size  shifts each of the array's elements  unit to the left. For example, if  left rotations are performed on array , then the array would become .

Given an array of  integers and a number, , perform  left rotations on the array. Then print the updated array as a single line of space-separated integers.

Input Format

The first line contains two space-separated integers denoting the respective values of  (the number of integers) and  (the number of left rotations you must perform). 
The second line contains  space-separated integers describing the respective elements of the array's initial state.

Constraints

• 1 <= n <= 10 pow 5
• 1 <= d <= n
• 1 <= a[i] <= 10 pow 6

Output Format

Print a single line of  space-separated integers denoting the final state of the array after performing  left rotations.

Sample Input

5 4
1 2 3 4 5

Sample Output

5 1 2 3 4

Explanation

When we perform  left rotations, the array undergoes the following sequence of changes:

Thus, we print the array's final state as a single line of space-separated values, which is 5 1 2 3 4.

Code:

You can either choose only to print the shifted array or actually shift the elements in the array.

Here is my code for the second approach :

Note : No extra loop and No extra space is needed.. :)

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <math.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {

    int n, shift,i;

    scanf("%d %d", &n, &shift);

    int num[n];

    int move = n-shift;

    for(i=0; i<n; i++){

        scanf("%d", &num[(i+move)%n]);

    }

    for(i=0; i<n; i++){

        printf("%d ", num[i]);

    }

    return 0;

}

When you are down !!

Hard times??
Broken down??
Teared apart??
You wanna go away to a place where you might be in peace??
You wanna seclude yourself away from all the earthly beings??
Just then..
You just wish...
Just wish..
That you weren't born this way..
That you weren't worth of living..
That you did do your best to please every single stupid person in the world...

Well, you just haven't figured out what life is!!
Nor what you are capable of doing!!

When you are given happiness,
You believe that you could take up a whole lot of happiness ...

But when it comes to sadness and pain..
You limit yourself to a measurement..


See where you did a mistake??

Remember life doesn't show double standards..
It's us who are ready to accept happiness and try to escape away from troubles..
Wait...What if we could have them at the same weight??
Wouldn't life be just awesome as the way it is??

So, think for a while... If you could be so happy at a moment.. You have the potential to handle any kind of pressure and pain too... After all , they are just emotions... The emotions that maketh the soul....

Cheer yourself up ;)

Life has more life in it ;)

Lets EXPLORE the best and worst of it :) :)

With all smiles :) ... thanks for reading ;)
See you!

The Dijkstra's Algorithm implementation

Hi friends :)
So long since i posted a code :)
Here is the implementation for Dijkstra's Algorithm

#include <stdio.h>

int n;

int adj[10][10];

struct vertex{

    int known,dist,prev;

}node[10];

        scanf("%d",&adj[i][j]);

    }

    scanf("%d",&sv);

    scanf("%d",&des);

    dij(n,sv,des);

    return 0;

}

Hope this helped you :)

See you soon ..

And Time repeats itself !!!

There was a time when i was hopeless..devastated..weak..sullen..
You name all the bad feelings one can get..Yeah! I was having all of it.

It was the time, when i was seeking for something where i could put my all..
I was searching..searching..and searching ...Until..

Something sparked my mind..
Something freed me from all my so-called-worries ..

It was "CODE" ..

Nerdy !! Absurd !! Silly !! whatever you may call it.. Trust me..
Like Music soothes one's heart..
It did cure me from what i was suffering from..

When I started to code, the best part of me got triggered up..
I was feeling better and better , by each day... by each code..

That happiness of solving a problem ..
Watching those little Green tick marks sliding down column-wise..
Praying to get every test cases right..
Oh !!! I completely felt in love with it..
The happiness that the programmer in me gets..when i get a code right..
Its incomparable.. !!
Incomparable.. even if I had managed to get a Golden Lamborghini..

Segmentation faults, run time errors..and bugs became the worst enemies I could have..
Every time I saw them.. The Satan inside of me..consistently said "You have to kill 'em ..don't show any mercy "..

Yeah!!! Coding can be life to someone... And that Someone was me..

Over time.. Things got changed..  Interests on things changed...Everything else has changed..

Here , I see myself ... as i was in "There was a time"...
And "Coding can be life to someone"...

I can actually say that "TIME DOES REPEATS ITSELF !!"

Anagrams !!

Hey all :)

             Anagrams----> If we have string that is just any of the permutation of the other string, then it is called as ANAGRAM of the original string. 

For e.g., : If the string "ate" is taken , the following are the possible anagrams -- {"ate","aet","eat","eta","tae","tea"}. 

Not Anagram : The string "eats" cannot be an anagram of "eat" because the length of two strings do not match , or in other words , the string "eat" doesn't contains the character 's'.

Here is a program that requires the count of non-anagram(ic) characters.

Make it Anagram

Problem Statement

Alice recently started learning about cryptography and found that anagrams are very useful. Two strings are anagrams of each other if they have same character set and same length. For example strings "bacdc" and"dcbac" are anagrams, while strings "bacdc" and "dcbad" are not.

Alice decides on an encryption scheme involving 2 large strings where encryption is dependent on the minimum number of character deletions required to make the two strings anagrams. She need your help in finding out this number.

Given two strings (they can be of same or different length) help her in finding out the minimum number of character deletions required to make two strings anagrams. Any characters can be deleted from any of the strings.

Input Format

Two lines each containing a string.

Constraints

1 <= Length of A,B <= 10000
A and B will only consist of lowercase latin letter.

Output Format

A single integer which is the number of character deletions.

Sample Input #00:
cde
abc

Sample Output #00:

4

Explanation #00:
We need to delete 4 characters to make both strings anagram i.e. 'd' and 'e' from first string and 'b' and 'a' from second string

My code:

Language: C

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <math.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

int main() {

    char str[10000],str1[10000];

    long int hash[26]={0},hash1[26]={0},count=0,i;

    scanf("%s",str);

    scanf("%s",str1);

    for(i=0;str[i];i++)

    {

        hash[str[i]-97]++;

    }

    for(i=0;str1[i];i++)

    {

        hash1[str1[i]-97]++;

    }

    for(i=0;i<26;i++)

    {

        if(hash[i]!=hash1[i])

            count+=abs(hash[i]-hash1[i]);

    }

    printf("%ld",count);

    return 0;

}

Hope this helped you guys ;)

Will See you again :)
