Eat Pray Love and Lustrous Hair

    Ive been really wanting to see Julia Roberts new film "Eat Pray Love". She did such a great job playing Erin Brockovich, I'm positive she will portray Elizabeth Gilbert very well. If you didn't know the film is directed by Ryan Murphy who also directed the very successful "Glee". The film is about a woman that has everything woman are supposed to have in life, yet shes not happy. She decides to embark on a journey around the world, on a quest for self discovery. She travels to Italy, India, and Bali. While traveling she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and finally the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali.

 
      While doing my daily googling, which consisted of 2010 bridal trends and the film I cant wait to see "Eat Pray Love", I found an article written by Emily Hebert about the Secret holistic beauty tips from Italy, India, and Indonesia.One of which was titled "Score lustrous hair" and I decided to share!!
 
      Pratima Raichur, creator of Pratima Skin Care, says that massaging the face, body, and hair with aromatic oils made from fruits, herbs, and spices can have a profound effect. “The word for oil in Sanskrit, sneha, means love,” says Raichur. “Anointing the body with oils on a daily, weekly, and seasonal basis is one of the most nourishing and best anti-aging therapies you can do for yourself.”
In particular, massaging the scalp with oil is the secret to getting an ultrashiny mane like model Lakshmi Menon. “My mother taught me to use organic coconut oil as a treatment,” the runway star once told ELLE. “It makes my hair feel luxurious.”
    “Hair oil massage is one of the key beauty rituals in India,” says Purohit. “Most women will get a hot oil hair massage twice a week. If you want to do it yourself, wrap your hair with a hot towel after massaging, read a newspaper during breakfast, then take a shower to shampoo.”
Purohit says that massaging strands with oil stimulates the scalp and helps remove product buildup. And, unlike a spray that “just sits on top of the hair,” massaging roots with oil ensures that all the nutrients are absorbed. Popular hair oils in Southeast Asia include coconut, almond, sesame, and amla (Indian gooseberry).
