In today’s list, we would like to show you some hair care tips for different hair type and texture. Keep reading to find out!

1. Fine, Thin, or Oily Hair

Wash your hair every day or every other day. Everyone’s scalp produces oil, but those oils (sebum) travel more quickly down the hair shaft when you have fine or thin hair. Thus, giving it that unattractive, greasy appearance. If you have oily scalp but don’t want to shampoo daily, use an anti-dandruff shampoo, even if you don’t have flakes. Anti-dandruff shampoos cut down on grease, and less grease means fewer washes if you’re not keen on washing your hair every single day.

2. Medium or Dry Hair

Wash your hair every 2 – 3 days. Any more than that and you could strip your hair of the natural oils that keep it looking shiny and healthy. Sebum provides strength and smoothness to the hair, making dry hair less prone to breakage. If you don’t want to go that long without a wash, try a sulfate-free shampoo, which is gentler on your hair. You can also simply give your hair a quick rinse with water and apply conditioner to the ends.

3. Thick or curly hair

Wash your hair once or twice PER week. The oils your scalp produces will take longer to travel down the super-thick or tightly coiled hair. So oiliness won’t be as noticeable. Besides, those extra oils can help calm frizz and give coarse hair a smoother look. But don’t go too long between washes since too much oil can be just as bad as not enough. Excess oil can clog up the hair follicles, making the scalp more prone to infections.

4. Bonus tip

If you work out regularly or sweat a lot in general, you may want to wash your hair more often, regardless of texture. The same goes for people who use lots of products or live in a highly polluted area. On the flip side, dry shampoo is also a good alternative if you want to extend your no-wash period an extra day or two. Make sure you apply it to the roots so it can soak up the extra oil, and steer clear of the ends.

Hair Care 101: A Guide To Wash Your Hair

There’s no such thing as an accurate approach when it comes to washing your hair. It’s all about finding what works for you and your hair type. Some women can go a week or more without sudsing up, while others feel the need to shampoo every day. We hope that this hair care list is somewhat helpful to all of our beloved sisters out there!

Have you ever wondered what the original names of those most famous companies all over the world were? Let’s start the journey back to the past when these biggest firms still used there extremely different names! They are Google, Nike and more! Check them out right below!

1. BackRub:

Come to the first place on our list today is Google, one of the most famous companies in the world today. Long before the search engine even existed, the company was originally given the name BackRub. This name was given by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the creators of Google, in 1996. Then, in 1997, they changed it to Google.

This name comes from the mathematical term “googol,” which represents the digit 1 followed by 100 zeroes. That large number stands for their hope to create a search engine with practically infinite information. Now, let’s put the word BackRub in a situation we often use. And imagine how awk when you hear one said: “I don’t know, let me BackRub that!”

2. Sound of Music:

3. Brad’s Drink:

Pharmacist Caleb Bradham was experimenting with ingredients in 1893 when he created what is now known as Pepsi. The overnight hit was originally known as “Brad’s Drink” after his last name. In 1898, he renamed the drink Pepsi-Cola. Then in 1902, the Pepsi-Cola Company was started due to the high demand for the drink.

4. Research in Motion:

The once-popular cell phone company Blackberry was originally called Research in Motion. The company changed their name in 2013 to Blackberry after their best selling product since that’s how most people referred to it.

5. Blue Ribbon Sports:

Lastly, we have to talk about Nike which was originally founded as Blue Ribbon Sports. Established in 1964, it first served as a U.S. distributor of running shoes made by Onitsuka Tiger, a Japanese company now known as Asics. In 1971, the company decided that it wanted to distribute its own shoes under their own brand and needed a new name. They eventually decided on Nike after the Greek goddess of victory.

Famous Companies Interesting Original Names: Which one is the most different and impressive for you?

Rumour has it that a new Light foldable phone with a multi-lens camera is coming to you soon. Foldable and multi-lens setup? Talking about hitting two birds with one stone. Keep reading for more details!

Light foldable phone with multi-lens setup

It’s not uncommon for smartphones to have a pair of cameras on their backs, in a number of different setups. A couple of years ago, a smartphone manufacturer called Light launched its L16 camera, a “multi-aperture computational camera” that features 16 lenses. Ten or more of them capture an image simultaneously but at different focal lengths. Then the camera combines those separate images into a single 52MP photo.

Now, picture this: You pull your phone out of your pocket and unfold it like a napkin into a tablet. Press your finger on the screen, and it unlocks. Switch to the camera app, and a spider-like array of lenses shoot simultaneously to capture one giant photo. You may think that there is no way such device exists. But apparently, Light is working on it. According to our source, the company already has a working prototype with a system consists of 5-9 lenses that function together.

Thus, it delivers DSLR-like performance in low-light conditions and captures whopping 64MP shots. In addition, Light promises sophisticated depth effects and unmatched zoom capabilities, unrivalled in the smartphone market. However, working prototypes are one thing. Producing millions of screens that can reliably fold and unfold is much tougher than it sounds. Anything with hinges behind the screen could be easier to break than our current smartphones. On the bright side, moving to plastic could make phones and tablets more shatter-resistant, even if they might be easier to scratch.

Light multi-lens phone availability

Light says its foldable and multi-lens phone will be announced later this year. Also, it will be interesting to see how those lenses affect the cost since the previous model L16 is already around $1,950 mark. Stay tuned with us for further updates about this impressive device!

However, there was no information on the availability of the update’s release date. Well, that changes now, as users are informed that the rollout will begin anytime after July.

Brace yourself! Apple is going to release two dual-SIM iPhones in 2018. The hardware includes a single card slot and a secondary Apple SIM. Keep reading for more details!

Apple to release two dual-SIM iPhones in 2018

According to our source, two iPhone models to launch this September will feature dual SIM standby capabilities. However, only the Chinese units will equip with a tray that accepts two SIM cards. In other countries, two of the 2018 iPhone handsets will come with a single card slot and will add the virtual Apple SIM in order to support dual SIM features. Quick backstory, the Apple SIM launched in 2014, embedded inside the Apple iPad Air 2.

This allows the user to quickly change the wireless provider depending on which one is offering the best pricing, connectivity, or features at the time. While more than 150 countries support Apple SIM, China is not one of them. That explains why two of the upcoming 2018 iPhone models will have a dual SIM card tray. According to the report, adding dual SIM-dual standby capabilities to the iPhone could pump up sales in Asian and African markets.

Statistics from a Chinese source state that 3 – 4 million smartphone owners in China use multiple SIM cards. For your information, dual SIM dual standby means that the user has to select which of the two cards will make and receive calls. Dual SIM Active allows both cards to receive calls at the same time.

The future for dual-SIM iPhones

A mobile phone retailer in China says that many of his customers have chosen an Android device over iPhone due to the lack of dual SIM support. As a result, this improvement will be a big blow to Android phone manufacturers in China since Apple has a bigger popularity there.
