The original hijab fashion, hijab style, beauty and entertainment blog for Muslim women

I keep talking about how I want to get back in shape and sadly I haven’t had the time to pursue my workout goals as much as I’d like. Every time I plan to blog about it, I realize, oops I haven’t done more than run 15 minutes on the treadmill twice a week.

Last night I had a work meeting and jumped on the bus hoping I’d get there at least 5 minutes early. Turns out I was on an express bus that was making no stops until it got to the train station, which is about 5 or 6 blocks away from my work.

As soon as we reached the train station I had about 3 minutes to make the meeting, so I ran like I’ve never run before. All of a sudden my legs felt like rubber. And I fell *splat* my face just barely hitting the pavement. I was thankful that my pants didn’t tear but they got a little scuffed on the knees. And that’s when it hit me. Boy am I out of shape! My lungs were burning from the cold air, and when I did get to the meeting (2 minutes late) I was trying to hide my huffing and puffing. It seemed like forever before my breathing became normal.

Dealing with a dry scalp and dry hair is one of those miserable things that you have to do trial and error with until you figure out what works for you.

There are so many items on the market claiming to “get rid of dandruff” or “bring moisture back to your locks” and we’ve compiled a list of some inexpensive ways to cure dryness.

1. Limit your hot showers. Steam and hot water seem like a logical solution right? After all it is a type of moisture. But the downside is that it literally pulls moisture away from your body and you get an even dryer scalp!

2. Rinse your hair with lukewarm or cold water after you are done shampooing/conditioning. The cold water seals the hair and keeps the moisture in.

3. Try not to wash your hair every single day. If you can wait a day or two between shampooing you’ll do wonders for your scalp.

4. Invest in a quality product that you can leave in your hair for a few days that smells good and keeps your strands healthy.

5. Use natural olive oil as a leave-in conditioner overnight or for a few hours. For best results wrap your head with a warm towel to help the olive oil settle into your scalp and hair.

We’d like to hear from you too! Let us know how you deal with these issues. Is there some special routine you go through?
