For Those with the Thick Curly Manes - BY MCGREW

I have discovered, through much trial and tribulation (those of you with this type of hair know what I'm talking about), that the easiest way to deal with my very thick and curly hair is as follows: Wash normally then after you've put conditioner in your hair, bend over and use your hands to comb out your hair while it's conditioning. Once you're rinsed and out, hold a nice, thick, dry towel around your hair for at least 5 minutes -more if needed. Don't squeeze or scrunch!! It'll just put the knots back in. Now, the good part: JOJOBA OIL. While your hair is still damp (important!!), put no more that a dime-sized bit of oil in your hand. Rub your hands together and apply to your hair. Try to avoid the scalp are (it'll just get oily looking faster) and finger-comb through lightly. Now let your hair AIR DRY ONLY -all you curly headed people know you should have thrown out the hair dryer years ago!! You'll have beautiful, soft, shiny curls all over the place that people will rave over! (don't be afraid of a layering haircut either with this method). That's my 2-cents. I hope it helps - it sure has made my life easier!!!

Last Minute De-Frizzer - BY SHANNON H

If your about to run out the door, and notice your hair is starting to frizz, run a very small dab of your hand lotion through your hair. This also is a life-saver when your out and about with no hair products in sight.
