1 Fading hair color--To lock in color, try using a shampoo that has a slightly acidic Ph. All shampoos designed to clarify, volumize or control dandruff contain harsh, color-dimming ingredients.
Hair breakage--Your hair is very fragile when wet, so comb it this way: Always use a wide-tooth comb for detangling. Begin at ends and work through gently; then go back and comb through from from scalp. Shape up your hair--Summertime is here, so get a quick trim or whole new cut. Summer weather can dry out your hair so make sure to condition the ends well after every shampoo. Use olive oil on the ends with a plastic bag covering the ends; tie with a rubber band. Leave on overnight, then shampoo in the morning. Wear your hair up!--Invest in a couple of hair clips or other holders that will keep your hair off of your face during the hot weather months. Keep one in your purse in case you need an instant hair-makeover. Lifeless hair--If using a body building gel , don't use it on wet hair as it will make your hair go limp. Water will dilute the active ingredients in most of the gels. Instead, towel dry hair, removing the excess moisture, then massage gel into hair and style as usual. 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.
