5、snt used shampoo for two years and her glowing brown hair is visibly in perfect condition.

6、 my shampoo bottle and realized there were loads of chemical components I didnt recognize in the slightest.” Strangely its oily hair that could benefit the most from giving up shampoo. The theory behind the “nopoo” method is that shampoo removes the hair from its natural oils, which causes the scalp

7、 (头皮) to generate more oils to replace them. This results in oil overload oily hairwhich we then attempt to “fix” with more shampoo. Its a vicious (恶性的) circle and quite a brilliant success for the shampoo industry, because the more shampoo you use, the more you need to use and the more frequently y

8、ou need to use it. Left to its own devices or washed with natural substitutes, the scalp eventually theoretically returns to its natural balance.

Last year some 340,000 dads took a total of 12 million days leave, that is, approximately seven weeks each. Women take even more leave days to spend time with their

14、 children, but the gap is shrinking. Why do Swedish dads take so much time off work to raise their children? Forty years ago Sweden became the first country in the world to introduce a paid parental-leave allowance. Benefits consisted of ninety percent of wages for 180 days per child, and parents we

15、re free to share the days between them in whatever way they pleased. But the policy was hardly a hit with dads: in the policys first year men took only 0.5% of all paid parental leave. Today they take a quarter of it. One reason is that the policy has become more generous, with the number of paid le

16、ave days for the first child increasing from 180 to 480. In 1995 the first so-called “daddy month” was introduced.
