Beauty Tips for Hair -2

Go ahead and highlight
If you have been contemplating adding a little 'gold' to your locks go ahead. Summer is the perfect time to do it. Keep the bleach and chemicals off of your scalp and have a professional do it. It is worth the money. Don't do the do-it yourself highlighter kits unless you really know what you are doing.

Enrich your dark hair color naturally
Brew one strong cup of espresso and let cool completely. Pour on dry hair and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse.

Enhance your blond hair naturally
Brew some chamomile tea and let cool completely. Pour on dry hair and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse. For red hair use lemon-balm tea.

Your brush giving you static
Keep your brush squeaky clean. Wash it with a drop of shampoo and warm water and no more fly-aways!

Getting yellow out of gray
Use a highlighting shampoo with a cool base color like blue or violet. These colors minimize that brassy, yellow look. Look for shampoos that contain vegetable dyes.

Hair and Salt water
Wash and rinse your hair as soon as possible after swimming. If salt water dries on your hair, it can cause mineral deposits to build up so wash your hair thoroughly.

Dry or oily hair
if you have dry hair and scalp, rinse in very warm water. Hot water stimulates oil production, so if your hair is oily, cool water is recommended.

Get waves without hot rollers
Get some velcro rollers (beauty supply houses sell them) and put them in your hair just after blowing dry. Leave them in until you are finished getting ready. A few minutes before you're about to leave, take out the rollers, brush through once and you will have hair that has volume and bounce.

Make your hair shine
Always rinse your hair with cool water to seal the cuticle and make your hair shine!

Oily scalp
Saturate a cotton ball with witch hazel and dab all over your entire scalp.

Homemade intensive conditioner
Mix 1/4 cup of olive oil with 1 egg and apply to hair. Use more olive oil if your hair is very long. Cover your head with aluminum foil, then with a towel that has been warmed in the dryer. Leave on for 30 minutes to an hour, then shampoo as usual.

Texturize limp locks
Braid slightly damp hair at the crown, make only a few braids depending upon the thickness of your hair. Let dry completely, take braids out, spritz on a lightweight hair spray and run fingers through.

Shine boosting hair mask: Mash an over-ripe banana; combine with 3 drops of almond oil. Massage into dry hair, leave on for 15 minutes, then shampoo out.

For bouncy hair
Saturate freshly washed hair with half & half, concentrating on the scalp. Leave on for 5 minutes, then rinse.

Dandruff
Use mouthwash that's labeled antiseptic. It kills the strain of yeast that's responsible for dandruff. Mix one part mouthwash with 9 parts water and pour over scalp; massage in and let set 5-10 minutes then rinse well.

Baby fine hair
Create a hair plumping rinse by separating three large eggs; discard the yolks then mix whites with enough water to make it pourable. Pour over hair.
