Hair Care 101
"The key is to be
encouraging; as children start to take an interest
in their own hair and how they style it, this is the
time to encourage them to follow an entire regime of
good hair hygiene practices. It is important to show
a child (when they are willing), how to properly
shampoo and rinse their own hair. You can also teach
them about towel blotting, detangling, combing and
brushing their hair. Help them build a good hair
hygiene schedule so that they learn the importance
of keeping their hair clean and neat. Try also to
get them to develop good eating habits because
healthy hair is very dependent on high quality
carbohydrates and plenty of fresh fruit and
vegetables. Good nutrition will promote shine and
condition at any age."

Daily Hair Care
Allâh has sent down the Best Statement, a
Book (this Qur'ân), its parts resembling each other (in
goodness and truth) (and) oft-repeated. The skins of
those who fear their Lord shiver from it (when they
recite it or hear it). Then their skin and their heart
soften to the remembrance of Allâh. That is the Guidance
of Allâh. He guides therewith whom He wills; and
whomever Allâh sends astray, for him there is no guide.
39:23
Links for teaching about skin care:
It keeps your
insides from falling out. It helps you warm
up when you're cold and can cool you off
when you're hot. It lets you feel things by
touch. It protects you.
What is this
wondrous stuff? Your skin, of course! And
what does your skin ask for in return for
all the wonderful things it does? Just a
little care and consideration. So let's
learn how to take good care of the skin
you're in.......

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Allah's Apostle
passed by two graves and said, "Both of them (persons in the
grave) are being tortured, and they are not being tortured for a
major sin. This one used not to save himself from being
soiled with his urine, and the other used to go about with
calumnies (among the people to rouse hostilities, e.g., one goes
to a person and tells him that so-and-so says about him
such-and-such evil things). The Prophet then asked for a green
leaf of a date-palm tree, split it into two pieces and planted
one on each grave and said, "It is hoped that their punishment
may be abated till those two pieces of the leaf get dried." (See
Hadith No 215, Vol 1).
