Cancer Awareness Month and Hair Donation Charities

Leave a comment

Hello Everyone,

Each year on HairBlues, during October, I show information regarding Breast Cancer Awareness with advice on various beauty options available to those who want support in their daily ”looking and feeling good” confidence whilst they proceed through the various challenges of chemotherapy, radiation and all those many days of journeying and taking those steps with the courage that leads to Wellness again.

This year I am sharing links about hair donation requirements. In addition, there is information about how to acquire hair, cooling caps, and hair coverings. https://cancercareservices.org/news/where-to-donate-your-wig-or-hair/

Benefits of Hand Massage with Carrier & Essential Oils

Leave a comment

News you can use 🙂

Have you thought about using your essential oils to massage your hands? Recently I decided to see how using this option benefits your “well-being” care.

Here is what I learned from an article at the Healthline website:

  • better mood
  • reduced hand pain
  • less anxiety
  • improved sleep
  • greater grip strength

See additional details at the link below.
https://www.healthline.com/health/pain-relief/the-many-benefits-of-a-hand-massage-and-how-to-do-it-yourself#benefits

Treat yourself to watching the 5 minute hand massage demonstrations at the videos below. You will not be disappointed.

Healthline has detailed guidelines for which carrier and essential oils to use. In addition, I want to remind you always use a carrier oil (for example, fractionated coconut oil, olive oil) to dilute essential oils. Learn more about essential oils dilution at this link: https://hairblues.me/2022/07/04/an-essential-oil-dilution-lesson/
