Terrible tangles
Detangle your hair before you wash it. Wet hair is very fragile so brush your hair thoroughly before getting into the shower.

Give your hair a break
Let it dry naturally once or twice a week. Turn your head upside down and use your hands to shape and lift the roots for volume.

Flyaway hair:
Mix 1/2 mashed avocado with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and apply to just washed hair. Leave on 10 minutes then rinse thoroughly. You can use this once a week.

Greasy hair:
Add 1/4 cup lemon juice to 1/3 cup of your regular shampoo. Wash as usual. This will also add highlights!

Limp hair:
On freshly washed hair, massage in beer concentrating on the scalp only. Do not rinse out and your hair will have volume!

Haircuts
When going to the salon, have a specific cut in mind. Bring a picture and make sure the stylist understands what cut you are looking for.

Styling product buildup
Use an inexpensive shampoo once a week to strip off extra mouse, gels, or hairspray buildup.

Run out of conditioner
Use facial moisturizer just on the areas that need it if you are in a pinch.

Dull hair:
mix 1/3 cup vodka with 1/3 cup of your favorite shampoo. Shampoo as usual and get ready for the shiniest hair ever!

Overnight split-end mender:
Before bed, gather hair into a high ponytail at the crown. Using a small dry paintbrush, coat the ends of the tail with olive oil (about 1/3 the way up). Slip tail under a shower cap and shampoo out in the morning. Do 1 to 2 times a week.

Combat static:
Massage a teaspoon of mayo on clean damp hair. Leave on for 5 minutes and rinse out.

Perfect ponytail
Comb a lightweight gel through your hair from roots to ends. Secure with a cloth covered elastic band. Wrap a small section of hair around the band to cover and secure with bobby pins.

Get permed curls back
Scrunch those curls with a palm full of mousse, wrinkling your hair as you go and your curls will be back!

Make your hair shine
Use a brush made with boar bristles; they help pick up scalps natural oils and distribute them through your hair.

Brush it the right way
Tilt head downward to bring nourishing blood to the scalp. Begin at the roots and work in sections, dividing the brushed from the unbrushed. Twenty-five strokes will do it.
