Hair thinning can be a concern for both men and women, but there are natural ways to help combat it and promote healthier, thicker hair. Here are some simple tips to stop hair thinning:

1. Eat a Balanced Diet

A diet rich in vitamins and minerals is essential for healthy hair growth. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains in your meals to provide your hair with the nutrients it needs to thrive.

2. Stay Hydrated To Prevent Thinning

Drinking enough water is important for overall health, including the health of your hair. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to keep your body and hair hydrated.

3. Massage Your Scalp

Massaging your scalp regularly can help improve blood circulation to the hair follicles, promoting hair growth and preventing thinning. Use your fingertips to gently massage your scalp in circular motions for a few minutes each day.

4. Use Natural Hair Care Products

Avoid harsh chemical-laden shampoos and conditioners that can strip your hair of its natural oils and contribute to thinning. Opt for natural, sulfate-free hair care products that are gentle on your scalp and hair.

5. Avoid Heat Styling, Avoid Thinning

Excessive heat styling can damage your hair and lead to thinning. Limit the use of hair dryers, straighteners, and curling irons, and opt for air-drying or low-heat styling methods whenever possible.


6. Protect Your Hair from the Sun

Overexposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays can damage your hair and contribute to thinning. Wear a hat or use a UV-protective hair spray when spending time outdoors to shield your hair from the sun’s rays.

By incorporating these simple and natural tips into your daily routine, you can help prevent hair thinning and promote thicker, healthier hair growth. Remember, consistency is key, so be patient and stick with your hair care routine for best results.

Fiza Ali Under Fire For Allegedly Exploiting Trauma On Her Show

Fiza Ali Under Fire for Allegedly Exploiting Trauma on Her Show

Fiza Ali, a veteran actress, singer, and host, has been  in the Pakistani entertainment industry for years. As a single mother, she has always prioritized her daughter and has been vocal about her experiences as a co-parent.

Currently hosting the popular morning show “Morning With Fiza,” she recently came across a heart-wrenching case that has sparked a heated debate on social media. On a recent episode, Fiza Ali featured two young girls who were abandoned by their father due to his preference for sons. Tragically, their mother took her own life just five days after being divorced by their father, who has since refused to take responsibility for his daughters. The girls’ aunt has taken them in and is raising them as her own.

While Fiza Ali’s intention may have been to raise awareness about the devastating consequences of gender bias and the importance of supporting vulnerable children, the internet is criticizing the show’s producers for exploiting the girls’ trauma. Many viewers felt uncomfortable watching the girls relive their mother’s suicide on live television, with some even accusing the show of sensationalizing their pain for the sake of ratings.

Social media users have expressed their outrage, stating that the show’s approach was insensitive and potentially harmful to the girls’ well-being. Some have argued that Fiza Ali and the producers should have prioritized the girls’ privacy and protection over the need for a sensational story.

“Fiza Ali and her team should be ashamed of themselves for putting those poor girls through that. It’s not about raising awareness, it’s about exploiting their trauma for the sake of entertainment,” wrote one user.

 

Another user added, “Those girls have been through enough. They don’t need to relive their mother’s suicide on national television. Fiza Ali and her producers should have handled this with more sensitivity and respect.”

While Fiza Ali and her team may have intended to highlight an important social issue, the controversy surrounding the episode serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible and ethical storytelling.

List Of Pakistan’s Biggest Price Drops On Cars In 2024

We’ve seen prices drop left and right, thanks to changes in taxes and some serious competition among carmakers. Let’s take a look at some of the rides that got the biggest discounts in 2024.

Remember that tax hike back in March 2023? Well, it hit cars priced over Rs. 4 million hard. But in March 2024, the government took a U-turn, and suddenly, manufacturers like Toyota and Honda were scrambling to drop their prices below that magic number to dodge the tax bullet.

KIA Stonic

First up, we’ve got the KIA Stonic, a little SUV that’s not afraid to make a statement. They slashed its price from a hefty 6.4 million PKR down to a more Budget-friendly 4.7 million PKR. Sure, it might gulp a bit more gas than you’d like, but it’s loaded with cool features and drives like its floating.

Suzuki Swift

Then there’s the Suzuki Swift, stepping up its game with a decent price drop of 710K PKR. Now, it’s neck and neck with the Stonic at 4.7 million PKR (previosly at Rs 5.4 million). With its sleek looks and Suzuki reliability, it’s a tough one to beat.

Toyota Yaris

Toyota’s Yaris also joined the price-cut party, though not as generously. They knocked off anywhere from 73K to 133K PKR, but hey, every little bit counts, right?

  • Old Price: 4.89 million PKR (ATIV 1.3 CVT)
  • New Price: 4.76 million PKR  (reduction announced on March 14, 2024)
  • Change in price: 133K PKR

Honda City

Honda City followed suit with a modest drop of 140K PKR. It’s still a popular choice, especially for folks who care more about resale value than fancy features. The extra leg room makes it a fair ask at 4.46 million PKR after a drop from 4.8 million PKR.

Cherry Tigo 8 Pro

But let’s talk about a real game-changer: the Cherry Tiggo 8 Pro. They took a massive axe to its price, chopping off a cool 850K PKR. Sure, some might hesitate because it’s Chinese, but trust us, it’s worth a look. A drop from 10.3 million PKR to 9.5 milllion PKR makes it a heavy contender. In addition chinese cars like Haval and and Baic are examples of top chinese quality.

Peugot

Last but not least, Peugeot 2008 decided to join the party with not one but two price cuts. First, they knocked off 100K PKR in March, and then they dropped another bomb with a 450K PKR cut in April. That’s some serious savings right there. It is still hardly available for booking at 7.25 million PKR due to its high demand but the drop from 7.7 million PKR is pretty significant.

So, whether you’re in the market for a zippy little hatchback or a sturdy SUV, there’s never been a better time to snag a deal. With prices dropping like hotcakes, the only question now is: which ride will you pick?

Best Ways To Earn With Your Own Car In Pakistan

Using Car To Earn
Image Source:haultail

With the recent economic challenges, the quest for financial stability has become more pressing than ever. Amidst this backdrop, your car doesn’t just have to be a means of transport; it can be a vehicle for earning extra income even! Let’s talk about how you can earn with your very own car in Pakistan.

The Economic Drive

Pakistan’s economy has been through a roller-coaster of ups and downs, with recent times seeing some of the most challenging situations. The country has faced tough economic conditions, with a significant impact on the daily lives of its citizens. The need for additional income streams has never been more apparent, as people strive to maintain their standards of living against rising costs and inflation.

For many, a car is one of their most significant investments, and it holds the potential to be a source of income. Here are some of the best ways you can turn your car into a money-making machine in Pakistan:

1. Signing Up For Ride Hailing Services

Joining ride-hailing platforms like Careem and Indrive can be a lucrative option. These services have revolutionized transportation in Pakistan, offering flexible working hours and a decent income. No longer do you need to worry about getting assignments done on time or about a boss who pays you no respect. Instead, you can take matters into your own hands and make a living for yourself at your convenience. You can earn approximately PKR 50,000 to 60,000 per month after expenses, with full-time dedication.

Ride Hailing In Pakistan

If you feel the time doesn’t justify the pay-off, well you can always put your extra car to use by hiring a driver and letting him do all the work for you.

2. Carpooling With People

With the growing concern for the environment and the need to reduce travel costs, carpooling has become a popular option. By offering rides to individuals traveling in the same direction, you can share the costs and make your travel more economical. This has been gaining quite a traction in the past couple of years, where numerous groups have popped up on social media. People tend to be looking for others going in the same direction as them and wholly rely on carpooling for work or university. Plus people tend to feel safer knowing a like-minded individual will be driving with them as compared to random strangers from ride-hailing applications.

3. Using Your Car As A Billboard On Wheels

Your automobile may become a moving advertisement. Car wrapping is becoming more popular, and businesses are continuously searching for creative methods to promote their businesses. All you have to do is drive around and get money by having advertisements on your car. But remember not to overdo it and make it the new redbull mascot. It may attract unwanted attention and your car might not look the prettiest, but hey!, whatever gets the bills paid.

4. Renting Your Car

You may generate a reliable passive income stream by renting out your car. Your automobile may make someone else’s travel easier. It will also save you money, especially with the surge in tourism and ongoing demand for transportation. People tend to buy cars with the intention of renting them out later on to provide themselves with a constant rolling income.

While using your car to earn has its advantages, there are also downsides. The wear and tear on your vehicle can lead to higher maintenance costs, and the additional time spent driving can be taxing. Moreover, depending on a single source of income from your car can be risky, as market dynamics can change rapidly.

At the end it all depends on what you decide. You can go for any of these options and be happy with it. And if you’re worried about being judged, don’t be. Because the people judging aren’t the ones who are gonna pay your bills, you are.

After sharing photos of their model, hanging by a tree, the more you looked at it, the more concerning it seemed. The obvious concern is that she seems like she has hung herself. But later netizens commented that this pose is just not graceful.

Furthermore, a lot of customers are still interested in the outfit. Questions about the release dates are being asked. Moreover, when Generation announced the shown article will be in stores soon, hence customers commented that the clothes too, are hanging by.

It’s easy for the attention to no longer remain on the designs and collection itself, with concerns like these. Baqir Mehdi was the eye behind the camera for this shoot. A renowned photographer, who works mostly for campaigns of such large brands. known for capturing culture with a hint of contemporary in his style, Baqir is quite popular.

Hopefully, Generation did not intend do execute photographs that suggested violence or suicide for that matter. Moving forward, we just hope we do not see more of it.

In Pakistan, owning a car is not just a convenience; it’s a significant financial investment and a symbol of one’s hard-earned success. However, the increasing rates of car theft has become a source of constant worry for car owners. The problem is made worse by the police’s seeming inaction, since there have been stories of their disinterest and, in certain cases, their suspected cooperation with criminal groups. Today we dive into the top five ways to protect your car from theft, ensuring your peace of mind in a country where vehicle security is a pressing issue.

1. Anti-Theft Devices

While many new cars come equipped with basic anti-theft features, they often fall short in the face of determined thieves. Investing in advanced anti-theft devices such as immobilizers, which prevent the engine from starting without the correct key, or steering wheel locks that serve as a visible deterrent, can make a significant difference.

Additionally, installing a car alarm that triggers a loud noise upon unauthorized entry or movement can attract attention and discourage thieves. And for added security, you can always buy locks for your pedals as well as your steering wheel. Thus further ensuring that no one can run-off with your precious vehicle that easily.

2. Parking Smartly To Avoid Car Theft

This might come as a shock to you, but even where you park your vehicle plays a critical role in your car being jacked. Parking in a secure, well-lit area can greatly reduce the risk of car theft. Opt for guarded parking lots with surveillance cameras whenever possible. If you must park on the street, choose busy areas where the presence of people might deter potential thieves. Rotate your parking spots to avoid patterns that criminals can track.

3. Concealing Anything And Everything Valuable

Leaving valuables in plain sight can tempt thieves to break into your vehicle, even if they don’t intend to steal the car itself. Always take your belongings with you or store them out of sight in the trunk, dash compartment or even just under your seat. Tinted windows can also help keep the interior of your car hidden from prying eyes but seeing how you live in Pakistan, unless you have connections, that option is out.

4. Getting Insurance For Car Theft

Insurance and documentation are the safety nets that catch car owners should they fall victim to theft. Comprehensive insurance offers financial reprieve, while photographs and meticulous records of one’s vehicle aid in its identification and recovery. These documents, however, must be kept secure, for in the wrong hands, they become tools for the thief. Insurance in Pakistan is something people don’t really think about, but it goes a long way when the worse comes to happen.

5. Staying Updated

Staying informed is staying one step ahead as they always say. Local crime trends and statistics paint a picture of the threat landscape, allowing car owners to navigate with caution. Community alerts provide real-time updates, a collective effort in vigilance. The vehicle registration number is a car’s unique identifier, a critical piece of information in the unfortunate event of theft. Plus staying up-to date with traffic tends helps you navigate through a safer route.

The fear of car theft looms large, a shadow over the investment and emotional attachment car owners place in their vehicles. The inconvenience of loss, the disruption to daily life, and the financial and emotional toll are burdens too heavy to bear. It is a fear grounded in the reality of today’s Pakistan, a challenge that demands action, awareness, and a steadfast commitment to protection. But instead of relying just on Allah ke bharosay par, these are just a couple of numerous ways you can prevent such an incident from happening with you.
