Hair Rules To Live By From The World's Best-Kept Beauty Secrets by Diane Irons 1. The shorter your forehead, the longer your bangs should be. 2. Protect your hair, as well as your skin, from the sun. Use a sunscreen on the hairline. Lip balm will also work. 3. To completely remove residue from the hair, combine equal amounts of baking soda and shampoo. Let set for five mins. 4. Occasionally shampoo hair with a mild dishwashing detergent to get rid of product build-up. 5. Don't smile when a hairdresser is cutting your bangs. Smiling raises your forehead , and your bangs may be cut too short. 6. Don't cross your legs during cutting. It will make you sit unevenly, and one side of your hair may end up longer than the other. 7. Don't style soaking wet hair. Get it 80% dry first. 8. Hold your head upside down while drying for extra lift. 9. A vent brush will give your hair more volume. 10. Tease your hair with a toothbrush or baby comb. The small bristles will add a lot of volume to small sections of hair. 11. Use a ponytail to create an instant face lift. 12. Reactivate a style by spritzing with spring water. 13. Never wash hair with hot water. 14. Always use a metal core brush to dry hair. The metal locks in heat to make hair dry faster and tames and polishes hair by smoothing cuticle. Create A Good Hair Day Use The Right Shampoo There are very specific shampoos on the market today to help you make your hair the best it can be. Look them over and pick one that's right for you. Occasionally add a couple of caplets of vitamin E to your inexpensive shampoo for extra nourishment. Use inexpensive brands to strip off extra mousse, gels, etc. at least once a week. Condition When You Need To You probably only need to deep condition (ten to 30 minutes) once a week. Your facial moisturizer can double as a hair conditioner. If your hair is extremely dry, allow a little conditioner to remain in the hair. The excess will rub off during the towel drying process. The Grand Finish Mousse is a good ending product for fine hair. Gel is great for control. But should be used in small amounts. Hairspray should be used at least 10 inches away from the sides of the head, and about five inches from the top. Always use your fingers as a styling aid while using these products. Curing Dandruff Vitamin E capsules or vitamin E oil, rubbed into the scalp, will take away those ugly flakes. Aloe vera gel applied all over your head will work immediately. Let it set for about 5 mins., shampoo and rinse. Hair stylists to the stars Dusty Fleming of Beverly Hills, suggest a unique dandruff shampoo. Mash 30 aspirin tablets and add to a bottle of shampoo. |
