It aids in the sealing of the hair cuticle, reducing breakage and improving the lustre and look of the hair. It is also a natural dandruff cure.

Did you know that the longest river in the world is located in Egypt? The Nile River cuts through Egypt and about 95 percent of the population of Egypt resides along the Nile River. With much of the country being occupied by desert, this fact about Egypt isn’t all that surprising. 90 percent of Egypt is made up of desert and the River Nile divides that desert.

The ancient Egyptians divided Egypt into two lands, the desert, and the Nile Valley. Contrary to what you would think, upper Egypt is located in the South and Lower Egypt is north. That is because the Nile flows north towards the Mediterranean Sea.

These factions can be quite broad but sometimes extremely specialized, which makes finding new books a lot of fun.

All of this comes together nicely to give Brazil's culture a distinct liveliness.

A Nobel Prize could be given to whoever develops an efficient KRAS targeted therapy because it is so crucial to oncology.
