Default Hair tips & tricks

Same as the makeup ones, just random tips I've picked up here and there.

- For sexy waves, spritz roots with volume spray, then sleep with your hair in 10 tiny buns.

- Try a fragrance alternative, spray perfume on to your hair . It's a more subtle way to wear a scent.

- For smooth cutves, sperate dry hair into small sections and coil each around two fingers; secure. Spritz on hairspray and undo in 15 minutes.

- Get soft strands. In place of styling products, use conditioner.

- Fight frizzy curls: Use humectant-free gel, which fights moisture, on roots. The first area to frizz.

- Liven up hair without much work by using leave-in conditioner, then lightly scrunching hair to help work it into your hair shaft.

- Keep hair bouncy by rinsing every other day with water; use shampoo only three times a week to avoid drying out your curls.

- For tight ringlets, roll one.inch sections of hair around small or medium hot rollers. Leave them for 20 minutes, then flip your hair over and run fingers, not a brush, through.

- Make crimped waves without heat styling by sleeping in tight braids. Make two to three inch braids in damp, clean hair.

- To create glam coils blow-dry three inch wide sections with a round brush, always rolling it in toward your face.

- Get lush locks by using the right amount of conditioner. Tight curls need one tablespoon; loose curls need two teaspoons.

- Make thick hair feel lighter by cutting choppy layers in it.

- Try a new style without losing your legth by cutting in long, side-swept bangs.

- Add sexy motion to your ends by getting your stylist to texturize them.

- Save money, go to a high-end salon for a free consultation, then get that cut at a cheaper place.

- Draw attention to your eyes with bangs cut below your brows.

- Get a style that suits you, bring celebrity photos to your stylist. If your face shape is different they can adjust the cut.

- Hide an uneven hairline at your forehead with wispy bangs.

- Make a style last. Seal just-spritzed hair with a blast of cool air from your blow-dryer.

- For massive hold, thickening spray offers the best staying power.

- Maintain your blow-dried style longer by switching between hot and cold setting on your hair-dryer.

- Spray hairspray onto your brush before brushing for a soft hold.

- For ends that remain curled, blow-dry with a round brush, and hold hair around brush until cool.

Here's another one..

If you've got light colored hair you can use baby powder to hide greasy hair.

T'was in Seventeen, *nods*

Lol!
Here is ANOTHER one...
If you WANT light colured hair, put lemon juice in you hair and go and sit in the sun for as long as you need! (Don't sit in the sun too long as your hair could end up too light...) And the wash it out!

Great tips!!

Have you got anything for if your bangs sort of fall flat at the front? I brush them to the side since I have a side parting, and one side, the side that's supposed to look swept to the side lately seems to be falling flat on my forehead :/

You mean a different side parting? I'll try the opposite side and see if that works, but I'm so used to the side parting I have now :P
